Guys are a-holes
Something happened earlier this week and I can't get it out of my head. I went to lunch with a coworker and as we were walking down the street we passed through a group of guys on the sidewalk. I could tell they had already been checking out the coworker, but as we walked by one whispered to her, "You're gorgeous." We kept walking and went to lunch but then talked about it later as I could tell it bugged her just a bit. Which then made it bug me. But it bugs me on two levels. One is that, to be completely honest, is that I *think* about comments like that all the time. Anyone who's ridden the bus with me would know that. But I never say anything. Sheesh. That guy is ruining it for other guys. C'mon, do you really think that saying "You're gorgeous" to some stranger on the street is going to have a result of her saying "Teee heee! You're right, let's go to a motel right now!! xoxoxo"? No, it's not. So shut up and do what I do- stalk in silence, then chat with Angie about it on IM the next day. The other reason I kept thinking about this incident was that I didn't say what was on my mind because it would have been even creepier. Instead of asking - "What'd that guy just say to you? -- What I was about to say was "What did Miggs just say to you? Multiple Miggs, in the next cell? He hissed at you. What did he say?". But you know- quoting movies can be funny sometimes, but quoting movies with serial killer quotes is even creepier than the whole "you're gorgeous" guy. Anyway, sometimes at work, I've been walking around saying "I'm gorgeous" under my breath to make a joke out of the whole thing. Unfortunately every time I've said it, some goober has overheard us and I'm sure they're thinking "did he just say "she's gorgeous"?" or "why is he talking to himself again?" Either way, I'm still creepy too. Anyway, I thought I'd end the week with that little tale. 29 Sep 11:51 | /general | 8 comment(s)

Kenneth addresses your comments
Angie sez: "your blog blows-- you really should invest in a blog that allows your pictures to be viewable without me clicking other shit. i really can't be bothered to click more than 2 times per blog."
- That's my fault- I was linking to the tags on flickr, not the actual picture. I'll stop doing that. But thanks for telling me that my blog "blows". At least my mom likes it.
- No. In fact it's out of my hands. It's viral, it's out there. The monkey from Outbreak is even ASStounded. On Friday, I had so many people sending me WP pics (from 3 different states) that I got a query from Cingular asking me if I were a victim of MMS spam. Don't blame me, blame Bryan. Blame Christine. Blame Tessa. Blame yourself [insert link to Marc's video here].

Dumb Wreck
Here's a Dumb Wreck I saw at lunch. Wheee. No one was hurt. I wanted the meter maid (ooh, is that not P.C.?) to give the SUV a ticket for parking on the curb-- a byproduct of the dumb wreck. 21 Sep 14:55 | /general | 3 comment(s)
FITB
FITG? No, FITB!
The fall season is upon us. Everywhere there are signs telling women to wear black pants, even horrible commercials telling women to express themselves for relief and self-expression.
Butt look at this woman. She's seen the ads with Audrey. She's standing right in front of five of them. Yet, she is the representative of true self-expression. You Go Girl!
FITG? (Fall into the Gap) Nay, FITB!

Stabbed
A guy getting stabbed is sad and all . . . . BUT
I can't say I haven't wanted to run over someone "guarding" an open parking space in SF. 20 Sep 14:11 | /news | 1 comment(s)
The fight began when a friend of Albinder's tried to reserve an empty parking space for him as he drove to the Richmond District neighborhood for a private party at the club. A van with several men in it started to pull into the spot, and when Albinder's friend tried to shoo them away, the van nudged him twice, police said.

So this pirate walks into a bar and the bartender notices the pirate has a steering wheel on his penis. So the bartender says, "You know, you've got a steering wheel on your penis," and the pirate says "Arrrrrrrr! It's driving me nuts!"

Ipod
Just a quick follow up- I finally got my ipod from work. It was a 1G Nano, so I traded up for a 30G Video Ipod. I'm digging it so far. I'm still listening to a lot of podcasts, but I did that before - only on my desktop. Now I can at least listen to them on the bus. Speaking of the bus, I finally fit in now that I have an ipod. I used to be the only one on the 1BX without one. Thank God I conform now! Wheee. Now I just have to figure out when I can cheesify it with some vinyl decals. 13 Sep 14:17 | /general | 7 comment(s)

Indian Summer WP
I was a bit worried after my lunchtime meeting. Christine gave me some scary news:
I hadn't eaten yet, so I went out. Sure enough, she was right. Due to the nice weather, the WPR (white pants ratio) was high.
I think today was quite possibly the worst day ever to forget my cell phone on my desk while I went to lunch.
I seriously was distraught over it.
Stephen and I walked down the Embarcadero to Poncho Villa and I shit you not, the sea of white pants was on the verge of overwhelming.
Note to self: September 12, 2006: White Pants Plethora Day
FYI- I went to Pancho Villa again, there was even a PV-WP in line.

Never Ending WP?
I was really worried that after Labor Day passed that the WPR (white pants ratio) would drop. But this morning, as I was waiting for the bus, I looked up from my book and saw a WP comin to my bus stop! I then looked to my right and saw another pair! Then on the same very bus- 4 more pair got on before we even got to the Presidio St. stop! 6 total!
I can't wait 'til winter.

No more D to the Iddy?
Oh noes!?. Hey, I got an idea-- how about using the name "Sean"? Or perhaps "No one listens to me"? 11 Sep 00:21 | /random | 0 comment(s)

Hefe Shame?
So last week I was really craving Hefeweisen. I have no idea why, but I was. Maybe it was the changing weather, or maybe work, or perhaps I'm pregnant and was just craving a beer. I even was joking with Marc about it on the phone when he called me and then made fun of the background noises on the bus. . .
Anyway- did I wind up getting some Hefe? Yeah, so finally on Thursday, I came home, got off the bus and went into the corner store. I got a six pack of Pyramid Apricot (feel free to make fun of me, but it's good). I realized I didn't have any cash on my (or enough) so I grabbed a bag of Kettle Chips to get over the minimum purchase for CC. The clerk wrapped up the beer in a brown bag (the bottles weren't sticking out or anything) and the chips in a plastic bag, and I was on my merry way to have 1 (one) beer at home later (once Asi Es La Vida came on @ 10pm). So I'm walking down my street to get home and there's a guy walking up the street towards me with his toddler. The toddler's drooling and waddling as toddlers do but looks up and smiles at me. I smile back and nod my head at the dad and say hello. He says:Chips and a six pack? I've been there before . . . (chuckle chuckle)Umm, what the F? I should've said something, but I didn't. I was so mad when I got home I put the beer up and promised myself I wouldn't have one until I calmed down. 30 minutes later I did my patented hand wave / breath exercise and then cracked open a smoooov Hefe.

Herradura
I really don't know what to make of the recent news about Herradura being bought by Brown-Forman Group (makers of Jack Daniels). I think it could bring the tequila some well-deserved recognition in the US, but it could hurt it's perception in Mexico. And I have no idea about the pricing and if it'll be more expensive. --In case you didn't know, it's my favorite tequila.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Drinks group Brown-Forman Corp. (BFa.N: Quote, Profile, Research) is expected to announce a deal to buy the business of Tequila Herradura SA, which makes two of Mexico's leading tequila brands, for about $875 million, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Citing people familiar with the deal, the Journal said a deal would give Brown-Forman, which owns Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey, Southern Comfort whiskey and Finlandia vodka, greater access to one of the fastest-growing categories of liquor in the United States.
The Journal said Herradura, owned by the Roma family of Guadalajara, Mexico, owns two leading Mexican tequilas, Herradura and el Jimador.

Quick DVD Roundup 9/1
I'll preface this by saying that since I'm so far behind in my Netflix queue that by the time movies get to my house, most have really been hyped quite a lot. As you know that's an on-going problem for me. Hype kills movies for me. It used to build up my excitement for flicks (Kill Bill, Sin City), but for the past
... there's more to read here ...

Revenge of ITB
Dude, Christine and I just went to lunch and walked along the embarcadero. We took about 50 white pants pics. We outdid ourselves. I thought that I wouldn't be able to top Monday's pic but we did. Check out the pic on the left.
That's a pic of Christine taking a pic of 3 WPs in a line.
There was a neverending parade of WP along the water.
This weekend's forecast: Doppler Kenny sez: ITB!
I'll have some of Christine's pics up soon.
