Rule of Cuteness #31

2007-01-24T02:29:46Z

Over at Cuteoverload.com, the arbiters of cute have determined that the 31st rule of cuteness is that if your eyebrows shift upwards ("furbrow"), it is cute. Of course, as a longtime Weimaraner companion, I have known this for some time. To wit:...

Prairie By the Bay

2007-01-16T19:58:04Z

This week "Prairie Home Companion" was performed live at the San Francisco War Memoria Opera House. You can hear it live here. It was a great show, in a great (big) venue, and a sold out one (complete with a foyer full of people looking to scor...

The Trojans are Coming!

2006-11-18T04:31:30Z

Actually, the Bears are coming to visit the Trojans, and they're all going to sit down for a civil game of football, right? Riiiiight. Since my alma mater did not have a football team ('UCSB - our football team never loses!"), Dad transferred ...

Kitten Caboodle!

2006-11-18T04:21:27Z

Once again, the downtown Macy's and the SFSPCA have teamed up for a window display that really draws a crowd. They've made mock-ups of various famous Christmas movies, and then filled them with live kittens and puppies. This is probably one of t...

Restoring the SpaceView

2006-11-08T01:53:43Z

This Bulova Acutron SpaceView was my father's college graduation gift from his parents (in 1968). It's been sitting around the house without a battery, and with a metal watchband that'd seen better days, for quite a while now. I finally got i...

Britney Spears stole my look!

2006-10-26T06:26:06Z

So I was at Target yesterday, refilling the highlighter supply (I swear I go through the things like TP), when I saw this cover of US Weekly: Meanwhile, I was wearing this alluring ensemble: She took my look! I'll admit, I'm a bit torn on...

New "South Park" Tonight

2006-10-05T01:55:34Z

Can you believe that South Park has been on the air for 10 years? Whoa, dude. Ok, the tag above is supposed to say that "I'm Kyle (poo is my imaginary friend)," but apparently Comedy Central went cheap on the computer programmers. Ho...

Let's hear it for shampoo!

2006-09-27T00:42:24Z

I know, I know, the first response to the announcement that all liquids were banned on airplanes should not have been my grumbling about how I couldn't bring the chocolate milk I had intended to pack with my lunch aboard the flight, but being sche...

Eating My Way Through SF - Part 1

2006-09-24T05:06:54Z

Since I don't eat out very often, I usually make an effort to eat somewhere with a pretty good reputation when I do. Today I was down in Cole Valley getting manicure at Lavande (nice place, nicer price), and was looking for a place to eat. I end...

In the Tonga Room

2006-09-23T04:49:33Z

I'll admit that ever since I found out there was a long-standing polynesian-themed bar in San Francisco, I have felt I simply needed to visit. I speak, of course, of the Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel, up at the top of Nob Hill. So - how is ...
