I tried posting all weekend, I really did, it's just that blogger wouldn't let me. So, anyways, let's do this all at once, shall we?

-Was crossing the alleyway between Valencia & Mission on 16th and almost got hit by a car coming out of the alleyway. The guy who, yes, was in a Benz, was too busy talking to his girlfriend to see me crossing the street. Now granted there was a van parked in the alleyway making it hard to see me crossing, but isn't that a reason to slow down? And not only did he not see me crossing, when he got to me he didn't even slow down to let me cross. Hell, he was so busy talking to his girlfriend that he didn't even see me give him the finger as he made a right into the street.

-In front of one of those cheap department stores on Mission street is one of those kiddie rides where you put a quarter in and it shakes the kid around for a bit. This particular one was an aircraft and it would bounce up and down for a bit. The cool thing isn't the ride, the cool thing is the fact that it plays Kenny Loggin's "Danger Zone" as it bounces up and down.

-Went to the Giants game Saturday afternoon and got a bad burn. On my knees. It was the first time I sat at club level which was pretty cool as I got to walk around the club section. Hanging out in the club section, though, is an interesting experience in that while you're at a baseball game, you find yourself, like me, having a dilemna in that while you're eating your Cubano panini sanwhich you have to decide whether you'll watch a Giants bases loaded rally or the Kentucky Derby on the TV.

-The guy who sat next to me at the game was one of those short-haired, goatee wearing dudes. He spent the whole game spitting I guess chewing tobacco into a plastic cup. Every once in awhile, when he was bored, he'd call up his dawgs and check in on them. I guess he's about to make a big decision in his life because I actually overheard him saying this to one of his friends- "yeah, I think it's time. I've fucked around and I've had my fun...it's just hot chicks....she's a good girl. We'll get married, have some children, it'll be cool."

-The thing about Tivo is that to catch up on my programs, I'm actually beginning to schedule time on my weekends. Like 4-6 on Saturday & Sunday is now my catching up on Tivo time. One benefit to it, however, is, of course, the ability to fast forward through the commercials. In doing so, you realize just how many commercials there are. I love the "Chappelle Show" but it's basically a short skit, commercial, short skit, commercial. And if you fast forward through the commercials, dumb skits, and bad musical guests, it's possible to watch Saturday Night Live in about fifteen minutes. If that. But, through in a DVD player and On Demand, when you're feeling lazy, it's even that much harder to get motivated to see a movie. I like seeing movies on Sunday, even try and make a habit out of it, but today I was sitting there and thinking that well, I could see a movie, but on the other hand, I have three South Parks, two Buffy's, and an HBO Real Sex. Why should I schlep out and spend ten bucks to see a movie I'll probably not like anyways?
