We’re watching girls at my house, which means I’m sitting here fucking around on my iPad. Hello. Yes, these are pictures of boats. Well, at least they’re either on or in a boat. The harbor was glass smooth that night, eerie and quiet. Inside, not so quiet. That boat is an amazing place.

friendsgiving in the sunset

We stayed around here for the holidays, and had Thanksgiving dinner with some new friends in the city. Somehow, traffic wasn’t awful that day. I have to wonder if most people weren’t out in the burbs with family. Sophie made her mac n’ cheese, and I drove. This may seem like an unfair division of labor, but you have to consider that I also grated her cheese (not a euphemism). The people we were there with, Liz and Otto, were really great hosts, and the company in general was amazing. I wasn’t really on my people photo game, though (too much eating). We smoked, we drank, we talked of many things. (Sailing ships and sealing wax). Some day I’ll kick this parenthesis habit. You’ll see!

bookended by sophia

I mean, this was a really nice night. Sophia’s mom took us out to dinner. We had really nice sushi in downtown Oakland. our uber driver on the way was this old chinese lady, very nice, but strange. so i took pictures out the window. There are wonders everwhere. can I say how much I love this woman, my wife? no, no I cannot. for some reason, this stupid keyboard is hating on my setup again; all the capital letters aren’t working. (update: seems like an iSSH bug).

solutions to bad blogging

Man, I just don’t know about that last post. I mean, a couple sentences, some photos, that’s prety typical. It’s sort of weak sauce commentary though, is’t it? I mean, I’m all for punk rock disregaurding of the rules, but photos of ships and the bay bridges are not punk rock. They say the solution to bad speech is more speech (I’m already quoting Cory Doctorow, you know how this week is going to go). So, it follows the solution to bad blogging isn’t to delete the post, but to do it again, better.
