The last walks: Sunday
Again, for Sunday I have two walks. The Sunday morning walk is probably the shortest of all the ones I take. It's also the only walk where I start out by going west, taking 54th Street. We live at the confluence of two demographic areas. As you go east from where you live, things get progressively whiter and wealthier, heading out towards Rockridge ( Read more... ) -
the last walks: day two
Today, I had two walks: my morning walk and evening walk. During the week, I don't have a lot of time in the mornings, so I just take Ava around the block. During the weekend, though, I go a bit longer. Not as long as my evening walks, but close ( Read more... ) -
Beisbol
I've been missing baseball, so I was looking at the iTunes Store, which has a selection of the best baseball games of the year. I already downloaded Jonathan Sanchez's no-hitter that way, so I wanted to see what other Giants games they have ( Read more... ) -

Fuck the GREs
So, I took the GRE Literature in English Subject Test today. Took the General Test a couple of weeks ago.

Loma Prieta. Loma Prieta. Loma Prieta.
I wrote this piece about a week ago, on October 17, the twentieth anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The day has now passed, of course, but I figured I'd share it now - I sort of meant to before, just forgot about it. Anyway, here:

(Untitled)
We spent some time in The City today - drove in over the Golden Gate Bridge, went to the beach at Crissy Field, then drove down Lombard Street, where Casey made me play tourist and film our way down. It's the start of our Hey, Let's Do Stuff Before We Leave Tour ( Read more... ) -
The first of many lasts to come these next two months
Over the weekend, we went into San Francisco. Casey took Matthew to see Where the Wild Things Are at the Metreon, while I went off with Lindsey and made what'll probably be my last trip to Amoeba before we leave ( Read more... ) -
In which Josh is a cranky bastard who hates everything
So. It's been a very rocky few months. Casey's been out of work for a while, and I'm only working part-time. Fortunately Casey got a severance package, so we've been managing - but that's gone now ( Read more... )
