I may have come up with a new slogan for Oakland International Airport while sitting in the bar waiting for my flight…
“All the charm of a bus terminal, plus airplanes!”
No? *shrug* I think it’s clever.

Ebony And Irony
You know what’s funny? Going to Flickr’s birthday party toting two cameras and realizing that you hadn’t taken a single photo.
Also keep in mind that going to the party is one of the reasons that I flew up for the weekend. *shrug* C’est la vie. At least I finally got to meet Heather in person and see a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in a good two to six months.
P.S. The highlight of my evening came from Stewart not only recognizing me, but also tilting my arm as he shook my hand to see “the infamous tattoo”. I guess I’m sort of a big deal… ;)

Oaktown
I made it to Click’s place in one piece. We ran around and got indian food, gelato and beers* in Berkeley.
Tomorrow we run around SF until Flickr’s Birthday Party at 7pm. Hopefully I’ll get to see Frazier for lunch.
If you want to see me while I’m in town [or will be at the party], drop me an email** or text on my Sidekick.
* If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, the Albatross Pub is higly recommended.

SNA to OAK
Look out San Francisco, I’m headed straight for you… Well, actually since I’m staying over at Click’s place I guess I’ll offically be in Oakland.
*shrug* Let’s not worry about the technicalities, okay?
The only plans I’ve made so far is going to Flickr’s Birthday Party on Saturday night and hanging out with click for a bit over the weekend. Everything else is sort of nebulous.
So what am I getting at? Well, if any of you would like to hang out while I’m in town, drop me a line [or leave me a comment] and I’ll try to make some time for y’all.
Who knows… Maybe I’ll get to hang with some people I haven’t seen in a bit. At least I hope that’s what happens.

Rebel Rebel
“We learned something from the hippies that, unfortunately, the punks at the same time didn’t learn, and that is that rebellion is obsolete. In a healthy capitalistic world, rebellion is just something else to market.”

Fame
“The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.”

New Year, New Crush
You’ll have to pardon my lack of entries lately. I’ve been off fantasizing about Liz White from BBC’s Life On Mars. *swoon*

Top 5 Comestibles Of 2005
1. Henry’s Turkey on Wheat Roll
As far as I’m concerned the sandwiches from Wild Oats sister market Henry’s could kick the ass of Quiznos and Subway any day of the week.
2. Naked Juice Blue Machine
This is the year I fell in love with Naked Juice. And while I love more flavors than I care to count, Blue Machine is by far the best one of the bunch.
3. Honest Tea Vanilla Mint White Tea
Were it not for Matt I’d have never known about this brand of tea that sells their beverages “just a tad sweet”. Danke, Mr. Haughey.
4. Have’A Corn Chips
A lot of people are curious when I tell them that Have’A Corn Chips aren’t actually salted but seasoned with soy sauce and lime juice. Then I let them try one. Shortly thereafter I have to fight them off so they don’t steal my bag.
5. Swingers Jerk Chicken Omelet
Trust me, it’s as good as it sounds. I just wish they’d open a Swingers in OC so I didn’t have to drive out to Hollywood to get my fix.What food and drink kept you running during 2005?
