It was write this or write my essay.
After canoeing yesterday I managed to leave my shoes in The Lad’s car, so when Jacob’s car dropped me off at my intersection I got to walk across Market and Castro followed by a trail of amazed comments re: my barefootedness. The best was from two apparent tourists, one of whom, breathlessly solemn, told her … Continue reading
Warning: Gooey Lad Talk Herein
It’s settled. Freshman Composition, Creative Writing, and either Women in Government or Statistics. “Oh,” said Michele knowledgeably, or was it Erica? “You’re taking graph graph monkey graph.” “No,” I said, confused but firm. “I am taking statistics.” “Jason took statistics,” said Michele. “Apparently one of the questions on the test was ‘Which of these things … Continue reading
So bored I might die from it.
I don’t know if this is funny. I do know I’m just bored enough to post twice today. Anyway, yesterday Nuala and Michele and I were discussing how Nuala’s cousin, Jenn, who has a show on Canadian MTV, is considered cool and glamorous by the rest of her family. Next after her on the glamour … Continue reading
Blah blah blah retard.
Last night after baseball, seven of us on the large spinny thing in the playground after dark, laughing hysterically. All I can remember of the conversation, unfortunately, is “Blah blah blah retard!

The strange-eyed baby in the booth behind us kept turning around to give us a toothless, gooey grin, until I … Continue reading

I miss thang.
Well, in view of Allen’s enormously long (but also enormously rewarding) description of his journey to date, writing this blog about my small, baseball-playing, smoothie-drinking life seems suddenly less satisfying. Even Jacob, busily slicing mouse brains in his mad laboratory, is doing something useful. (Who would slice the mouse brains if not for him? Would … Continue reading
Mommy, how does a mountain get born?
The birth of Mount Diablo: Geologic Summary: 165 million B.C. Mt Diablo began as volcanic rock beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean and was scraped into a mass between the Pacific tectonic plate and the overlying sedimentary layers of the North American plate. As ice ages affected sea levels, sedimentation continued in shallow coastal … Continue reading
Shazbot! Shazbot! And you thought I was cool.
Star Wars fans be warned: this will probably piss you off. Everyone else be warned: this is the most boring blog entry in the history of narcissistic websites, and that is certainly saying something. Last night I had dinner with Jack and he finally gave me some perspective on why I hate Star Wars so … Continue reading
