Back in Brooklyn
I'm slowly correcting and posting my photos on flickr. I have my film pictures coming back tonight. Woo-hoo!

Discovery Park in Seattle
I knew the folks on the West Coast were easy-going, but I didn't realize they made it official in their signage.

Welcome to Seattle
Dude I overhead talking on his cell in a bar bathroom:
"Whatever dawg, I ain't getting no sex change! You ain't seeing me on the street with no titties!"

San Fran
In San Francisco now - going to Seattle tomorrow. Many pictures to share, but I need to develop the film at home first.
On the way up to the Bay Area, the train passed through a town called "Oxnard." As if the town name couldn't be any funnier to my puerile sense of humor, there was a shop on the main drag called "Retarded Citizen's Thrift Store". Couldn't they have given the place a more PC name, say, 25 years ago?

To Quote the Late, Great Bob Seeger: "Against the Wind"
In L.A. now visiting the Fifer. Had kind of a crappy ride out here, as
the jet stream was 250 mph in the opposite direction we were going.
Therefore, our ground speed was only 350 mph for the trip. Therefore, the
plane had to refuel in Albuquerque, adding 2 1/2 hours to the trip in
total. But hey, I'm here now ready to rock out.
An amusing anecdote from last night: I went to the Bowery Poetry Club with
Eva for a fundraiser for a lit magazine. A fairly funny comedian was
emceeing the event. After doing a couple bits, the emcee introduced the
first writer.
The first writer got his notes in order and to change the tone said, "I'm
going to be serious for a bit." This moment of seriousness was broken no
less than two seconds later when a very fat, awkward, androgynous cowboy
in a red suit and giant cowboy hat walked out from backstage in front of
the speaker to take his seat in the front row.

Camera "Phone"
The pictures my camera phone takes are so low quality I feel there is almost no point in having a camera on it, unless I am going to do some kind of pretentious, graffiti-art stylistic twist on my pictures.
Maybe I'm just a camera snob, though.
I am going to try to go back to film for my West Coast trip next week. Hot.

Quote of the week
In the elevator at work:
Woman 1: Damn, it's cold outside.
Woman 2: It's winter! It gets a little warm early and people all want to be running around naked and shit.
Woman 1: But I want it to be warm. If it were just a little warmer, I'd be all hanging out at home in a wifebeater & boxers.
In other news, I never knew Chewbacca was such a prolific writer.

Bush wants to protect you... from Bat Boy?
Somebody yelled this out during Bush's speech last night at the Levee and this was too funny not to share.
-GWB, 1/31/06
So basically, Bush has a major problem with Bat Boy.
A war on human-animal hybrids? Am I just ignorant of the serious threat that The Island of Doctor Moreau poses to us? Are we either with Bat Boy or against Bat Boy?
While I'm on the subject, Bush telling the U.S. that "America is addicted to oil" is like a pusher telling his loyal junkies that they have a problem with heroin. Didn't he head up an energy firm in the past? Didn't he quash better fuel economy standards? Just a thought.
