Things I did on my recent trip to San Francisco, CA: * Ate a delicious salmon bisque * Spent a lot of time with a very good friend, and met a lot of charming, entertaining, interesting people * Discovered, to my shock, that San Francisco is not the smelly, overrated, pretentious mecca of filthy hippies, loathesome yuppies and self-absorbed homosexuals that I had imagined it, but rather a fascinated, beautiful city with gorgeous architecture, living history, and tremendous cultural life, with only a small amount of filthy hippies, loathesome and self-absorbed homosexuals * visited the Cartoon Art Museum, where I discovered a brilliant Serbian cartoonist and salivated over their small collection of golden-age Marvel & DC titles * helped my friend "test" some software on her new iMac * watched "Withnail and I" for the thousandth time, and enjoyed it as usual * observed the high-school-cafeteria-esque struggle for social domination of the sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf * became trapped in a Catholic church * bought books, comics, postcards, and a miniature carving of the Virgin of Guadalupe * discovered that clam jerky is even worse than it sounds * demonstrated that I am to Minnesota Fats as Carrot Top is to Lenny Bruce * wento to a karaoke bar and sang "Sixteen Tons" |
