The gorilla
We had people over for pumpkin carving this weekend and Rachel brought fake tattoos, so I put a gorilla tattoo on my fist and began trying to popularize my new slogan: “You mess with me? You get the gorilla.” I only had a few days before the tattoo wore off so I said it at … Continue reading
Moltar! Twenty!
This weekend seven of us went to Angel Island to celebrate the lump of birthdays that occur in October and early November (Erica, Jacob, me, Jason). As if I had not grown up in the Bay Area or had not lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade, I chose to wear only a tank … Continue reading

Obviously.” “Ah,” he … Continue reading
Europe Fail
Since I cannot go to Paris at present, yesterday I decided to go to San Francisco and pretend I was somewhere else. (Excuse my photo effects, please. I’m experimenting with an Android app called Vignette and possibly going a little overboard with it. But it’s so fun!) I got up early (for me) and took … Continue reading

Kris: “I need a close-up photo of my face for my writing website. But I need one where I’m not wearing some kind of costume or making a strange expression.” Gene: “Has that ever happened?” Kris: “Sigh.” … Continue reading
Triclops princess
This weekend we had a pumpkin-carving party. Let me first explain that I go through this funny thing every autumn. I am a sun-worshipper — the more summery goodness, the better, as far as I’m concerned. Except around October, when I start imagining how great it will be to wear rust-colored sweaters and tall boots … Continue reading
