Here's a Halloween Haiku I wrote and would like to share.

Witches, ghosts, and bats
Lurking throughout the dark streets
Halloween is here

Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

Sometimes I pose dolls for fun. I like to call this, Goth Rides a Black Duck. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

A hidden gem in SF not to be missed especially if you're a Star Wars fan is the the Yoda fountain located on the Lucas compound in the Presido. The Presido is a freakin' maze onto itself. It took D & I a little bit to navigate our way. Luckily, we made it before the rain started. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Gloomy rainy days are best spent indoors. That's just what I did this weekend; however, not in my apartment. At least not on Saturday. Instead, I headed to the Legion of Honor to check out the Japanesque: The Japanese Print in the Era of Impressionism. What an amazing exhibit. The folks at the Legion of Honor did a great job in showcasing the art. I fell in love with the blue room. So much so that I would love to paint a wall in my apartment that color of blue. The artwork popped against the blue wall bringing out the richness of the prints. It's amazing to think of the details that went into making these woodblock prints. I was completely surprised at how well the color has lasted over all this time. I found myself mostly drawn to the work of Hiroshige. The blues in his woodblock prints were so deep and rich. I could have stared at them for hours. Another artist I was drawn to was Utagawa Kuniyoshi, especially his piece from One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets (see below). I was quite moved by the poem on this piece which was written by Minamoto no Shigeyuki.


















Here's a translation of the poem:

Like a driven wave
Dashed by fierce winds on rock
So am I: alone
And crushed upon the shore
Remembering what has been

This current exhibit lasts until January 9, 2011. If you're in San Francisco around then be sure to check it out. It's definitely an exhibit you don't want to miss. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

Here's something I overheard while sitting and drinking my coffee a few Sundays ago.
"That's why I like faggots. The more faggots there are, the more pussy for us." Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

Surprises. Who out there doesn't love surprises? I know that I love surprises. On Friday night, P&B took me out for my final birthday surprise. I love the fact that my birthday has stretched over five months. Extended birthday celebrations rock. My final surprise included a night out at Bourban & Branch, a throw back to the speakeasies of the 1920s. There's no name out front just a wooden door and a doorbell. After you ring the doorbell, someone comes out and asks you for the password. Yes, there was a secret password. Secret passwords are fun! The place is quite cool inside. I spent most of my evening drinking cucumber gimlets. All I can say is simply delicious. Before calling an end to the evening, P&B treated me to dinner at Dong Baek. Craving something deep fried, I went with the Kaon Poong Gi, wet fried chicken battered with spicy garlic sauce. My eyes watered just smelling it when it was brought out. None of us had been to Dong Baek before and I was pleasantly surprised with the food. It was quite good. Plus you've got to love a place that not other has good panch'an but brings out a lot of it. It was a great evening with the girls and a wonderful way to wrap up my five month birthday. Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

Hey lady on the bus the other morning. Please don't clip your fingernails in public. How would you like it if I clipped my toenails on my way to work. And while I'm on a rant, I'd like to address the man from the other day as well. No one wants to hear your freakin phone conversation. You're not at home so lower your voice. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.
