While reading about Maggie's tea-purchasing, I remembered a little discovery I made yesterday. I went into Starbucks to buy a coffee. As a somewhat-regular Starbucks patron, I understand all the differences between tall, grande and vente - though I think the naming system is very stupid. After I ordered my grande house coffee with room for milk, I watched the guy reach to grab an empty cup from

JB is coming to town this Friday. Because he's a roadie, I only get to see him about twice a year, but he's a sweetheart who always makes me smile.

Since the new car has a 12 disc cd changer, I figured the only logical thing to do was go out and buy a bunch of new CDs: Beta Band: The Three E.P.'s Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks: Pig Lib Postal Service: Give Up Belle and Sebastian: Dear Catastophe Waitress

After dinner at We Be Sushi, Kathleen braved my horrific driving skills yet again. We drove to a huge parking lot in the Presidio where I practiced driving around in big circles. Learning to drive at my age is really kind of degrading. I felt really stupid driving slowly through this giant parking lot and prayed that the folks in the Presidio Bowling alley across the street weren't sitting at

In a very round about way, I discovered this site during playoff season (exact route: Ev, who linked to Biz, who linked to this girl. It was a slow day at work and she's a Sox fan. I couldn't help but read). Anyway, ever since then, I check back in from time to time. I read this today, agreed, and found myself laughing out loud.

I picked up my car this weekend, and spent just about the whole time driving (or more accurately, "riding") around the city. Still unsure with the whole manual transmission thing, I need a little refresher course before I tackle the city's big hills. "Refresher" might be an optimistic word. The last time I drove stick, I was 16 and the car went into the shop the next day. Kathleen has stepped up

The worst part of going away for a few days, whether related to work or pleasure, is that when you come back, there are 9000 emails, voicemail and various messages waiting for you. Plus, there's the requisite "get back into work frame of mind" period. It's 1:30 and though I've answered emails, written a press release, and done various other work related tasks, I still feel mentally out of it.

I just met the owner of this business/web site. He doubles a camera man and is helping us out with some customer interviews we're taping. Apparently, his business helping people locate grave sites is actually quite profitable and his site gets upwards of 400,000 hits a day.

This weekend, I watched three movies with characters named "Barry": The Brothers McMullen: Possibly the worst acting I've seen in a movie, but surprisingly, I still loved it. Nice Irish Catholic family wrestles with guilt over love and sex. Right up my alley. Ed Burns plays middle brother Barry who thinks he can't fall in love. Punch Drunk Love: Adam Sandler plays Barry Egan. Weird, but in a

I'm not a big halloween person. The pressure of a costume is too much for me to tolerate. Last year, I didn't go out for Halloween because I was working, but I did have a costume ready to go. My colleague, her boyfriend and I were going to go as the "got milk?" billboard, which I said I would do only if I got to be the "?" When asked why I was so adamant about being the question mark, I replied,

Today is my niece's birthday. In celebration, my sister's family is having Chinese food flown over to the island. Yep, that's right: no Chinese take-out on Nantucket. You have to order from Hyannis, and then have them deliver it to the airport, where Nantucket Air will fly it over, and then you go pick it up at the Nantucket airport. They never showed that on Wings. I remember when I was little

My morning reading has revealed two things that made me laugh: Matt Groening says that Fox News threatened to sue over an episode featuring a fake news crawl.

Awhile back, I heralded the wonderful benefits of Shure sound-isolation earphones (with the disclaimer that my company does their PR, and I am therefore biased). But if anyone is looking for a non-biased evaluation, this guy seems to be a fan and as far as I know, he has no affiliation with the company.

I think I have a generally sunny, laid back disposition. In fact, a few people tease me about the proverbial bluebird that lives on my shoulder. Today I feel like drop kicking the damn blue bird and making him feel my wrath. Yup, I'm in a good mood. (ps. I would never harm a real bird...just the proverbial ones)

A few friends graced the house for an evening of pumpkin carving, accompanied by bbq'ed pumpkin, squash and other edibles; cider - hot or sparkling, spiked or plain; and my contribution: roasted pumpkin seeds. Pictures here. All of the pumpkins were pretty amazing, but I think Willo's band-o-lantern took top honors.

Since moving to San Francisco about a year and a half ago, I've met a lot of great and wonderful people. A few I know really well, but most I know only as acquaintances or as friends of friends. There are some people that despite the fact that I've only spent a limited time with them, it's obvious every time I see them what a truly wonderful and authentic person he/she is.

Finally heard the NPR interview with Bill O'Reilly that's been causing so many waves, basically because Terry Jones asked a bunch of tough questions and Bill O'Reilly lost his cool and hung up on her. The interview set off a slew of discussion and commentary. Personally, I love every second of it. He comes across so unbelievably arrogant, yet his insecurity is so obvious from the get-go. Sure,

Tonight I am going to see Melissa Ferrick at Slim's with Kathleen. I know none of her music, but AMG lists Beth Orton as a "similar artist" so I'm at least intrigued. She's from MA and apparently, according to some at least, was pretty big in the Boston music scene - I'm surprised I have never heard of her.

I was supposed to call in for jury duty today, but I totally forgot. oops. I checked on friday and my group was on standby, so it's highly unlikely that I would have had to go in at all, but still, feel a little guilty that I didn't even call the silly hotline as instructed. The last time I got called for jury duty, I was living on Nantucket - the small island I grew up on, population about

It's got an amazing cast: Jason Schwartzman, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, John Leguizamo , Patrick Fugit (the kid from almost famous) and Mena Suvari.

In part due to lack of sleep. In part due to too much wine last night. In part because it's Monday. It was an action packed weekend, as Sara is here and Kathleen and I have been busy showing her around the city: Saturday: - Brunch with Jane at Miss Millie's. A passion fruit mimosa. Yummy. - Fisherman's Wharf and the sea lions: a tourist must, I suppose. A picture coming soon. - Beers/hamburgers

I had to be at work at 7:00 am this morning, which meant catching a 6:30 am train. Do you know what I discovered? It's completely dark at that hour. I'm not talking "pre-dawn, not quite light out yet" phase. I mean, total "it-could-be-3:00-am-the-stars-and-moon-guiding-my-way" phase. Jane goes to work at that hour every morning. On the one hand, it makes me feel guilty complaining; but on the

I think maybe someday I would like to write a book. Not one to be published, as it will most assuredly be terrible, but just something that I think about, execute, follow-through on, complete. The problem, of course, is that I lack any sort of creative storytelling talent. I'm like Eddie in my favorite John Irving novel - I once wrote a really good short story, and everything I wrote after that

You know, the downside to having a blog is the fact that it's *so* easy - like when you come home after sitting in a bar for 4 hours watching your team lose what looked like a surefire win... and there's your computer just begging for you to say something bitter that betrays just how trampled you feel. So no more baseball talk (and no more blogging after hours spent at the Final, Final), but

some people ask me why I blog. Yesterday, it was to capture the extreme happiness and overflowing joy I felt....even before a Red Sox victory was assured. Tonight, it's because regardless of what I write I will never, ever, ever experience disappointment like this over a sporting event for as long as I shall live. I have played in several high intensity games - league championships, state titles,

The Washington Post reported yesterday that Americans with the most outrageous perceptions of world politics get their news from Fox. As if that wasn't enough, it turns out, the folks at Fox are a bunch of Yankee fans (Eric Wilbur reports "It's not just Tim McCarver, FOX is out

My running chronicle of game six, written in real time: - Since I was stuck in a meeting, I missed the first inning. Came back to my desk to IMs from Yankee fans gloating over Giambi's home run. 1-0 Yankees. - Top of the second: woo hoo, Varitek home run. This guy has been so good this post-season. Tie game. I let out a shout of delight. I think I scared my colleagues. - Conference at the

I work above a deli where everyone speaks Spanish. We get along famously, and every morning, they humor me as I try to order in Spanish. I've got a few things mastered (and by mastered, I mean that they understand me, not that I'm actually right): Bagel con queso crema, una frutas pequenas, and a few others. Today I ordered an english muffin with peanut butter. When trying to say "peanut butter

There's a line in The Replacements when Gene Hackman approaches Keanu Reeves and says something to the effect of, "the difference between a winner and a loser is that when the game is on the line, a winner always wants the ball." (yes, I just knowingly quoted a Keanu Reeves non-Matrix movie). Looks like NBC sports writer Ron Borges agrees. So Burkett gets the call this afternoon. Pedro will sit

I enjoyed my day off. Immensely. I did laundry and went grocery shopping. I bought chocolate caramels at the grocery store, and the most perfect granny smith apples. The Red Sox won. There were no fights, taunting, or throwing 75 year old men to the ground (not that Zimmer was entirely innocent in that whole scruff). Post-game, Beth fed us well - grilled chicken, lavender-salted potatoes, and a

Jee and I went surfing yesterday at Linda Mar. The waves were fairly big (at least by my standards), closing out quickly, and just paddling out was a formidable challenge. Nonetheless, after moving down the beach to a slightly nicer break and having a quick rest, i tried again. I managed to get up on one wave - which is not to say I surfed it. It was more like: Step 1: paddle, paddle, paddle

This October has provided some of the best fodder for hilarious sports writers. My love for Bill Simmons and his way with words is unmatched, but I have a new guy to add to the roster of beloved writers, who I accientally stumbled upon through a link of Boston bloggers. Seth Stevenson writes for Slate, and he captures perfectly the way I feel about a potential Cubs/Sox World Series: I have

Everytime I get emails from one of my clients, it appears as an attachment in notepad. It's very, very annoying, as it prevents me from being able to scroll through emails quickly and efficiently. Is this something on our end, or something to do with their firewall? I'm assuming on their end because all other email comes through fine. That said, is there anything I can do on my end to get it to

I am in an *exceptionally* good mood this morning, which is odd considering the circumstances of last night: 1) The Red Sox lost. A little sad, but I'm not that broken up about it - nobody in their right mind would have thought the Red Sox would sweep, so the fact that we dropped one in Yankee stadium is neither surprising or very discouraging. 2) The Beans lost our season opener to our arch

I've been having a few communication challenges with a bunch of different people the past few days (I suppose that's not a good sign for someone who works in public relations). Last night, I had reached a stalemate during a serious discussion with someone I normally communicate very, very well with. I told her that I felt like I was staring at the picture of the old woman/young girl, where

Wow, even I wasn't expecting the Sox to dominate the way they did last night. But I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm, as there are a lot of chances for things to go both very right and very wrong in a 7 game series.

I have started Tandia, the sequel to my favorite book of all time, The Power of One by South African born author Bryce Courtenay (he now lives in Australia). I'm going in with limited expectations, as virtually everyone I know who has read it has commented that it's nowhere near as good as the first.

Red Sox trump A's, win the series, and will take on the dreaded Yankees on Wednesday for the American League Championship. Boston sports fans everywhere are sleeping contentedly (or still at the bars celebrating). I get to spend the whole week trading barbs with Ashley and Alex (who is also the Giants secret third base coach). I promise I'll have something else to write about shortly after the

I had always had a certain affection for ESPN Page 2 Sports writer Bill Simmons. A Boston fan through and through, he captures the angst of following the Sox and the Pats like no other. Evidence: his recent article on the two losses to the As. The article links to another past column where he discusses the 13 levels of losing (another very funny read), but one entry in particular struck a chord:

True, the Sox are down two nothing and there's a whole lot of statistics working against them. If I hear 1918 mentioned again, someone just might get slapped. A few positive stats for the hopeful: - A's were up 2-0 in a five game series against the Yankees two years ago and blew it. - Sox were down 0-2 in a five game series against the Indians in 1999 and pulled it off. - A's are pretty terrible

Peacekeeping is a funny word in the context of modern military history.

A heartbreaking loss last night. We knew it was going to be a good game, and what's more, we knew if it came down to a battle of the bullpens, Bostonians everywhere would start to cringe. Kim sucks - who walks the number 8 batter and then hits the number 9 batter in the bottom of the 9th with a one run lead? Grrrr. Hopefully this afternoon will be a different story.

The RIAA is clamping down, and while most people who were downloading music illegally aren't really letting the recent push deter them, CNET offers up a review of legal download services.

Game 1 is tonight. ESPN baseball analysts, well most of them anyway, have the Sox making it to the World Series. I would be the happiest native Massachusettsian (is that a word? perhaps I should stick with Nantucketer) if it came down to a Sox/Giants World Series.

for taking this long to write about the fact that the Sox clinched a playoff spot and will be playing out here in Oakland next week. How great is that? If the series goes to five games, I have tix for the fifth game. I was offered tickets for game one, but can't go because of work. There's hope in Boston - it's so strong I can feel it all the way in SF.

My surfing hobby ran into a significant obstacle when the friend I usually go surfing with sold his car; therefore rendering it difficult to transport a 9' surfboard to Pacifica. Problem solved: he is now a certified City Car Share member and we're hitting the beach this Sunday (flu permitting).

Do you ever have one of those days when you just crank? All last week, I came into work and each day my to-do list looked exactly the same as it did the day before. I was never able to scratch something off and move onto the next thing because I had so many things up in the air and was just trying to keep up. Today, I feel like I've made real progress, getting a bunch of things finalized and off

Yesterday I had a bad day - I have the flu, there's a ton of stuff going on at work, and I screwed something up that my colleague had to come in and fix. Today, I'm still sick - much sicker even, we lost our semi-final game last night (a tight 4-2 loss that would have been different if the umpire hadn't made a huge mistake), work is still crazy, but alas, this morning I stumbled upon this site

Today my colleague said "he got a restaurant" (in reference to the fact that her boyfriend found a much sought after dining location for her upcoming birthday). I heard, "he got arrested." The fact that Derek got a reservation was much less exciting than a mental image of him in prison. He wouldn't last a day. (Derek's the good looking brown-hair guy in the tan shirt, upper left thumbnail image.)

Under Fire at UN, Bush Rejects Early Iraq Transfer Bush sought help from the U.N. General Assembly to share the burdens of postwar occupation and reconstruction, a year after telling the 191-member body it risked irrelevance if it did not enforce Security Council resolutions on Iraq.

Watched Miller's Crossing last night - a Coen bros. take on organized crime starring Gabriel Byrne and John Turtorro. If gangster movies are your thing, highly recommended. If not, it's still a very enjoyable movie. Have the Coen bros. made a bad movie? I've seen (and enjoyed) The Big Lebowski, Fargo, Raising Arizona, and O Brother. I haven't seen The Man Who Wasn't There, but it stars Billy Bob

Just discovered that the previous record high for Sept. 21st was 89 degrees set in 1950. Yesterday capped out at 95'. Add to that the heat of the Korean BBQ MJ brought for Jane's SXSW reunion party, and our little house had to reach 100+. In other temperature related news, I'm going to the Hot, Hot Heat show with Willo et al on Thursday. It's at the Fillmore, one of my favorite venues in SF.

When a "case of the Mondays" gets me down, I make myself feel better by perusing the site of the surf camp in Costa Rica that Jee and are heading to in November.

While watching with glee as the Patriots trounced the Jets, I was somewhat dismayed by the fact that they cut off the last three minutes of the game "due to contractual obligations with the NFL." My irritation was quickly displaced, however, as the 49ers took the field and announced that Owen Pochman would be kicking off. The Pochmans were friends of mine growing up, and last I heard Owen was

Watched two excellent movies yesterday; great for entirely different reasons. (Yes, it's sad that I watched two movies on what was perhaps the loveliest day in San Francisco, but every once in awhile, it's nice to have a completely lazy day) Under the light, hilarious, fun category: Party Girl starring Ms. Parker Posey as the early-20s Manahattanite struggling with a complete lack of direction.

My friends over at Laszlo Systems hooked me up with the cool little widget in the left gutter. A nifty little rich Internet app to ensure that lengthy lists of links don't get too unruly. It's a work in progress (and just a simple example of what rich Internet apps are all about), but it's very cool. For more sophisticated demos, visit here.

In keeping with yesterday's rant, but on a somewhat lighter note, check out this article on BigBigPlanet... It is difficult to believe that there was a time when George W. Bush was dumber than he is now. Is such a thing even possible? We did not think so at first. But after some digging on the Internet and an 'analyzation' of the things he has said over the years, we believe we have uncovered

Bush finally admits to the world that there's no connection between the 9/11 attacks and Iraq. (Glad he cleared that up, as apparently, 70% of Americans are idiots who jump to conclusions without any sort of evidence). Sen. Kennedy, in the understatement of the year, says Bush's foreign policy is "adrift." Blix is going around telling everyone that Iraq's weapons were destroyed a decade ago.

KBM sent me a link to her favorite radio station from NY. Not bad. Mostly folk and indie rock. Plays the likes of Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Bela Fleck, The String Cheese Incident, Matthew Ryan, and of course, the requisite Radiohead and White Stripes.

San Francisco Litquake. As the site reports, A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics poll placed San Francisco at the top of the nation’s list in both book purchases and alcohol consumption. We are officially the city that thinks and drinks. It would be criminal to let this statistic go unnoticed, and so Litquake kicks off its 2003 festival with a lively panel discussion which addresses both of

My new friend Sara has commissioned me to write a book review of Kmart's Ten Deadly Sins: How Incompetence Tainted an American Icon for the magazine she works at. Just a guess, but I think the book will most likely come to the same conclusion Tom Cruise came to in 1988: "K-Mart sucks, Ray." Sara is making her first visit to the West Coast in October, and we already have a few activities planned

Highlight of my weekend: Sitting outside on my patio drinking a glass of wine while Kathleen read my town newspaper (laughing hysterically at the provinciality of growing up on Nantucket) and Mat played banjo... sounds rather dull, but it was actually quite perfect. Went to The Public on Friday to help celebrate Jee's birthday. Surprisingly, the Public has a great bar to accommodate a fairly

The other weekend in LA, Marcie and Tom were singing praises for Bubble Tea, a drink made with tea, milk, tapioca balls and sometimes fruit. On my way to lunch, my colleagues and I walked by a store with a big "We have Bubble Tea" sign, so I figured what the heck, and ordered a green bubble tea. I can safely say it's one of the more disgusting things I've ever tasted.

"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." Anyone know who said it? I've argued with several idiots over the last few weeks, with little success.

Thanks to Jee for letting me know that the first annual Norcal Women's Surf Fest is this weekend. There's a bunch of great activities - Yoga for surfers, surf clinics, a big competition, sports massages, swap meets, etc. Definitely something worth checking out. I'm encouraged by the fact that women's surfing is starting to garner so much attention.

My favorite baseball fan (who, by a mere mistake of geography, happens to cheer for the evil empire) sent me this article. The article tries to predict a favorite for this year's World Series, which is admittedly a daunting task since there is no clear front runner.
