Piercing the Veil of PARRRRRadise

This past Saturday I had the distinct pleasure of venturing out of San Francisco with some fellow scallywags to attend the 2nd Annual NorCal Pirate Festival. That morning, after getting myself appropriately dressed with my best pirate gear (mostly rolled up khakis and a white dress shirt worn as disheveledly as possible) I made my [...]

Ride (above) the Lightening

So first off, let me just say that I absolutely LOVE Virgin America. Thanks to their plug in every seat I’m able to putz around on my computer and even get work don on this near 6 hour flight back home. Most importantly this extra juice is allowing me to write while in mid-flight. Generally [...]

Cities

Walking back from Frisbee this morning, cresting a hill the Golden Gate Bridge slowly came in to view, and it struck me: I’m pretty lucky to be in San Francisco. Sure my college friends are all elsewhere, but they visit. And I do have friends here–fun people with whom I do all sorts of things. [...]

Across the Universe

So this is the first of these that I’m doing. I plan on doing many more, namely because they are quick, not hard and will make me think about the movies i just watched. Starting it off (if the title hasn’t given it away for you) is my review on “Across the Universe”. Oh, and [...]
