Yesterday on the bus, a homeless guy came up to me and said, “Young lady, can me and my girlfriend slide in there?” I stared at him. What he meant was can you move over so that we can have your seat. Oh hell no! I first thought. While my seat wasn’t the best one [...]

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that I have some crazy ass neighbors who fight constantly. And the latest: I’ve had my fair share of loud neighbors. In Boston there were two girls who argued all the time. Once I heard a chair being thrown; another time I heard one holler: “You’re such [...]

Three days a week I ride the CalTrain to my job. Usually it’s lovely. The train is clean and comfortable, and my ride is long enough to get a bit of reading or writing done, but not too long to be boring. In the mornings it’s very quiet, and not too noisy in the evenings [...]

I don’t think I’ve written here about the troubles my building has been having. Well, not so much the building itself but the building owner. I love our original landlady. She gave us a furnished apartment without much to-do; she made it easy for us to move from a smaller place to a bigger one [...]

*Sigh.* What is it about people and their sense of entitlement? Yesterday, a beautiful sunny Sunday, MB and I were hanging out in Union Square. It was pretty crowded so we shared a shaded table with an older British couple. The altercation wasn’t with them. We largely ignored each other. They relaxed with their ice [...]

Last night I got to the train station only to hear that “All Northbound and Southbound trains [were] stopped.” That’s it. No other explanation. My co-worker checked online and found that in Palo Alto, a train had hit a car. Yikes. It’s not the first time someone’s been hit. At my stop in San Mateo, [...]

At least in SF. If you’re my Facebook friend, you’ve already heard me ranting about the altercation MB and I had with a middle-aged douche in Union Square over the weekend. If not, you get to read all about it here. Apologies to my East Coast friends, but we had a gorgeous weekend. Sunny, upper [...]

It just hit me this morning that it’s been exactly one year since I moved to San Francisco from New York. I guess it’s been too long now for me to say I “recently” moved here, but it actually still feels recent. At the same time, a lot has happened. I was jobless for the [...]

First off, fuck you San Francisco. You’re not who I thought you were. First you bring me mosquitoes, and now, not just one, but TWO heat waves. But I’ve made this commitment and there’s nothing I can do about it now except deal, in 10 ghetto ways. Complain. Sure, it does nothing to make me [...]

When will I ever learn? I couldn’t sleep AGAIN last night, and not because of a crazy downstairs neighbor. I stupidly had some green tea in the late afternoon. I didn’t think it was that strong, but obviously it was. On top of that, we have mosquitoes! What the fuck, San Francisco? I thought you [...]
