Rouge

RougeSmall crowd of pretty people watching some sort of athletics on the tee-vee. Rouge is a bar that’s butt-up against and opens up into Nick’s Crispy Tacos, the best Mexican-food joint in my neighborhood. I don’t mean to be a hater but the place gets overrun every weekend with drunk & obnoxious fratboys and their flip-flop wearin’ girlfriends. This picture isn’t a very good example of that phenomenon but whatever.

Salmon makes sense

Vaping away

My stash of e-juiceMy stash of e-juice… deliciously flavored propylene glycol plus nicotine, for use with those miraculous new personal vaporizers, aka electronic cigarettes. I’ve ordered even more juice for stockpiling in case it really does get banned in the U.S.

Vaping awayI got my new e-cig from Phil at e-smokeytreats.com. He’s a one-man three-person operation — slim selection but only the good stuff. Phenomenal customer service too, and super-speedy delivery.

Please sign this petition to keep e-cigs legal and available!

Powell cable car

I’m going to have to be waiting in this line repeatedly for a very long time, due to the hilltop location of my new apartment. I sure hope it moves fast. The line I mean… I already know the cars are slow as hell! But it sure beats hoofing it over Nob Hill. :-|

Friendship bracelets

So… I used to make these in the 80s. Yeah. I also had blue hair and worked at a head shop. Anyway these are just a few of the rejects, ‘cuz I gave away (or threw away) most of the good ones.

I think the bracelet on the far right is the point where I decided “enough is enough!” and abandoned the whole craft. I think I was trying to use 24 strings or something insane like that, using super skinny floss. Not only does it induce seizures, it also doesn’t work very well — it gets all distorted and icky if you try to move the design too close to the edge. Blecch.

A new hat! Using a pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann (for the third time). This one’s for myself, I think. And I’m not going to felt it this time. :-)
