Republicans = Assholes

Like we needed proof.

The Red Baron

We’ve put off watching The Red Baron for several months. Remedied that tonight. In retrospect, I have no idea why we had any reluctance. It’s a lush, colorful and memorable. The trailer barely does it justice. Even better, it’s on Netflix streaming right now.

If I Could

I do believe I would spend most of my waking hours in the shower.

It feels good. You can be warmer or cooler as needed. It smells good. You’re clean and there’s no sweat.

What’s not to love?

Just To Be Clear

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

Glenn Beck Is a Giant Turd

And I have the right to say it, as Michael Bloomberg pointed out so eloquently on Thursday’s The Daily Show.

Three Shower Day

Summer has finally arrived. I’m over it.

Futile Questions

A few things have set off the crank-o-meter of late. In no particular order:

The asshole conservatives are floating the idea of repealing the 14th Amendment, the one that makes anyone born here a citizen. Seriously? How paranoid about Spanish-speakers are you fuckwads?

I’m horrified that a German tourist could be senselessly gunned down on a busy downtown SF corner by rampaging teens whose fight spilled out of a club. Worse our assistant police chief has the gall to insinuate the fault lies with the club owner because he didn’t install enough surveillance cameras. Uh, am I missing something or is the real problem that teenagers can legally possess guns? Why don’t we wake up and repeal that repugnant Second Amendment? (Take that asshole conservatives. Us wide-eyed liberals can be just as delusional.)

Why hasn’t JetBlue put Steven Slater in charge of its flight attendant training program yet? If you’ve flown in the past five years, you have to feel on some level that he was totally justified. And why hasn’t the press plastered the photo, name and address of the jackass who bonked him in the head all over the place?

Gavin and Stacey (and Dorris)

We discovered Gavin and Stacey on BBC Three during last month’s trip to Ireland. Watched all three series after we got home. One of the freshest and funniest shows I’ve seen in a long time. Most of the characters are completely bonkers. I particularly love Dorris, the elderly neighbor who drinks heavily, keeps a 20-something boy toy and does a mean rendition of “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.” Watch the clip to the end.

Blue Plate San Francisco

Good food. Particularly the cavatelli with asparagus and morels. But the dining room was just too hot tonight. I sweated like a pig and resorted to the day’s second shower after getting home because I felt so gross. Go. Just ask them to open the backdoor so a bit of a cross breeze kicks up.

First Time

I had a flourless carrot cake for tonight’s dessert. Very unlike the traditional version. I think I prefer this update.
