shit happens, thats what I always say...
This morning for the first time in my life I was identified by two seemingly American business men in a down town coffee shop as "Russian".
“Are you Russian?” one of them said looking me straight in the eye…
It took me a few moments to respond, since the only ones who have so far been able to tell are others who are “just like me” :))) . In fact, I have in my life been identified as just about everything there is on the planet other than Russian.
I will never be the same.... :)
P.S. Today I had a dream about sabotaging a huge company. I don’t remember the details…all I know is that there was shape shifting involved.
Last night I had a dream that I was recruited by the military for their top secret dancing squad. I was on a giant ship that was already out at sea getting ready for war. Our squad consisted of hundreds of the top most deadly dancers of the country and the military was conducting training which some of my squad mates could not handle and where brutally stomped to death.
The funny part is that I have not had any interaction with military or dancing for quite sometime. Where all this came from is beyond me...
If you'd like to buy certain products that are under lock and key in walgreens you must first call an attendant and point to the thing you want to purchase so they get it out for you. You generally have to already know what you want because they just hand you the product and lock the rest up very quickly, so if you'd like to read the back you have to hold the atendant so they can supervise your choosing process.
This would generally be just annoying if it wasnt for the fact that a lot of the products that Walgreens (at least in SF) keeps under lock and key are those of a somewhat private matter, so once in a while you can see an 18 year old guy picking out lube and condoms under the supervision of a 50 year old immigrant woman, a young woman reading the directions in the back of a pregnancy test or a yeast infection medicine with a 20 year old male attendant right behind her, or an older man trying to pick out rogain under the watchfull eye of an obvious part time attendant part time high school chearleader.
Now this varries from branch to branch so you can tell what kind of a population lives around the area from the Walgreens that is located there. For example, if you want a pregnancy test, razor blade or nikotine gum on 16th and mission you have to hold up the line and loudly direct the non-english speaking check out clerk to exactly the brand you want since they are located right behind the check out counter.
relaxedFirst it was Halloween in the Castro, and now this.
Organizers of the annual Bay to Breakers race, a 12K-run that starts at the Embarcadero and ends at Ocean Beach, have announced that this year there will be a major crackdown on the drunken, costumed revelry that trails the real runners. This year, there will be a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol and all floats, according to a news release from sponsor ING.
Last year, neighbors' complaints reached a fevered pitch because of a severe shortage of trash receptacles and portable toilets. Floats are often abandoned at the end of the race. The crackdown was decided upon by ING, police and the North Panhandle Neighborhood Association.
"We're still focused on the fun, vitality and unique culture of the race -- we're just removing the alcohol and the hazards. We feel that these changes will enhance the race experience for all involved," said Angela Fang, the race's general manager.

Ofcourse there is an petition in response here
As I have been absent from Live Journal for some time I feel the need to update my friends-list on my neighbor situation. The lovely woman threatened to sue our landlord if he does not evict us. Of course it is easier to find a needle in a haig stack than to evict someone in
The police noted us as a “no disturbance” case, the garbage department advised us to role our garbage cans inside faster as to not disturb the neighborhood, and the fire marshal asked us to practice safe smoking habits though we where not even home, let alone smoking when he was there.
But here is the kicker: The fire Marshal also advised us to get rid of our Christmas Tree.
Apparently Christmas Trees kept in a house past the Christmas season are against the law? *&^*&^???? J))))))))))
I'm FlabbergastedIf you want a loved one to learn something you already know, DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to teach them yourself.
Hire a freaking teacher and spare them (and yourself) the agony.
