May 7th
Posted May 7, 1999
You know, given how much I'm doing in this journal, I either need to link to it from my site, or just start a regular online written doodle on my homesite...
But I digress.
It's Friday, May 7th, and a mere 48 hours before two solid weeks of chaos enters in my life. I'm getting married and, on Sunday, my grandmother - who I've not seen for eight years - will be arriving to finish sewing my dress and all that lovely family stuff that happens before a wedding.
The photographers, DJ and caterers are booked. Most of the guests have responded. I get the blood test tommorow.
I'm trying to maintain a zen-like state of not thinking about it.
Somebody shoot me.
On the bright side, I'm going to to poo-pooh financial woes and go see "The Mummy" tonight. Plot, schmot - I'm going for one reason alone: Brendan Fraiser in period togs

Cinco De Mayo
Posted May 5, 1999
Not a holiday to celebrate popular sandwich condiments but one of those holidays that is slowly being usurped by Americans as an excuse to drink/eat/be silly...
Cinco De Mayo is, according to the back of the Taco Bell bag on my desk, the day Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain. That's cool, I'm all for independence.
Of course, though, the day is being usurped by people who really have nothing to do with it. The only people I've seen getting excited about Cinco De Mayo are middle-class white guys who are happy for a chance to bring out their tooth-melting chili recipe once again...
It reminds me of St. Patrick's day, when "everyone is Irish" - something that has always baffled me. People - American or otherwise - rarely need an excuse to drink beer and wax eloquent (if erratically) about their roots.
But the locals - I'm in California - are picky about which national days they usurp. I've yet to see any of the aforementioned white middle-class men running around with little stuffed dragons and the cross of St. George on that saint's day - although an alarming number of them are starting to observe The Day of The Dead.
Any insight into the justification of this would be appreciated. Drop me a line at [email protected]

May 3rd & all's well
Posted May 3, 1999
It's a quiet day in San Francisco - thank god.
This morning got off to a terrible start with the cat eating tinsel and the commuter train sitting in a tunnel for half an hour. I hate enclosed spaces, especially stuffy ones full of grumpy commuters.
In a desperate attempt to stop what was going to be a karmic mudslide of a day, I bought donuts for my office - www.vivid.com - and I'm praying that will stop a bad day before it starts...

Ranting and raving
Posted Apr 30, 1999
So, after spending a week in a state of blithering fury at the mass media of the United States, I'm tired and worn out and nigh sick-unto-death of witchunts...
The next witchhunt should be against those irresponsible twits who like to point fingers and seek scapegoats for tragedy rather than reasons...
But I digress. Try the sushi at Blowfish Sushi in San Francisco. It's delicious and only slightly hazardous to your health.
