So yesterday it was all nice and sunny and I decided to walk over to Hayes Valley to return something and just enjoy the good weather. When I move I will probably spend very little time in this area anymore — I don’t find it as charming as many people do. Basically it’s a two-block […]

The last time I moved, there was some urgency, haste, and stress involved. I wasn’t able to carefully comb through the things I told myself I wanted to save. Now I have five weeks to prepare. I have this huge box full of fanzines. Not the ones I have made, just ones I have read […]

So, last night, I watched “Friends.” Just like I did last Thursday. Yeah, whatever. Anyway it just occured to me that in either of these two episodes, Rachel’s baby is nowhere to be found. No one even talks about it. Did she sell it? Hmm. Because my pal Tam had a baby last July and […]

I’ve been coming to work at a normal time like a good little girl this week. Meaning anywhere between 8:45 and 9:15. Closer to the former, actually. This is a big deal for me because I have been a total “slacker” lately what with the leaving the house around 9:00 and ending up getting to […]
