I was fascinated by the stores selling fresh meat and fish products. I am so used to packaged, indidually wrapped meat products it seems very odd to see the actual animals or large pieces of them. The variety of foods I couldn’t identify was also very surprising.
If you are a squeamish about meat products you might want to stop reading now.
I warned you.

Exploring San Francisco
I’ve spent the week in San Francisco working. Until today I hadn’t had much of a chance to see anything. Today I had some free time and took a walk through China Town.
I was fascinated by the stores selling fresh meat and fish products. I am so used to packaged, indidually wrapped meat products it seems very odd to see the actual animals or large pieces of them. The variety of foods I couldn’t identify was also very surprising.

Phrase of the Day
“These are not the droids you are looking for.”
Obi-wan Kenobi
Boy meets Girl
Read this awesome story of Boy Meets Girl gone awry. Thank goodness Accordion Guy’s loyal readers warned him about the woman he was dating. I wonder if my readers would warn me about impending doom? Would I have listened?

Secrets
PostSecret has been one of my favorite blogs for a long time. The postcards people send in make me laugh and laugh. Some make me feel so sad it takes my breath away.
Some creep me out. Some of the postcards seem so simple or truthful that it makes me sad considering the fact that the person sending the card in didn’t have anyone to tell their secret to.

Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day! Anyone care to guess why Earth Day is so important to me?
The answer can be found on the white album and no the answer is not “Happiness is a warm gun” or “Bungalow Bill”.

The Ocean
Sometime next week, I’ll be sitting on a rock looking at the Pacific Ocean. It’s been too long since I’ve sat on a beach.
Staring at my monitor for hours and hours is no substitute.

Ignorance can help

The Conclave
It’s time to pick a new pope. If you don’t know how the process works check out the wikipedia’s article on the procedure for picking a pope. I’m fascinated by how it has evolved over the centuries. In honor of the occasion I’ll also mention a post on Killing the Buddha.
When my roommate put up a second poster in response — different woman, same outfit; this time on the ceiling above his bed — I complained that people could see his rollerblading ladies through the window.
“It just makes us look stupid,” I told him, “like dumb frat guys.”
“Well, people can see the pope, too,” he said. “How does that make us look?”
Point taken, but I didn’t care. In our 10 x 10 room, we lived by a kind of mutual aesthetic destruction.
The Last Papal Picture Show, Killing the Buddha
I love that phrase, “mutual aesthetic destruction”. I suppose every relationship has some of this whether or not you live in a 10 x 10 dorm room. I love the idea of having an aesthetic of destruction.
