Switching It Up

Variety is the spice of life. So, today's blog entry comes to you from a new coffeeshop: Atlas Cafe. Still in the Mission, but whaddya know, this particular shop is much whiter than the others I've seen in the Mission. This place is hip, hip, hip. They're playing Squarepusher!!! (Today's word: gentrification!)

I just witnessed a very heated interchange between a man and a woman here. The gist I got was that she asked if he would come back to her, and he said "I refuse. I just refuse. I refuse to deal with your comments about my driving. And the only way to really refuse is to just completely break it off." "Do you want a ride home?" she asked. "Umm... yeah."

Magill-a-kitty went to the vet today. Mission Pet Hospital. They're awesome. They answer every question I have, take their time, and smile a lot. I whole-heartedly recommend them. Magill's a-ok. The vet said she has very interesting fur coloration, and she seems very healthy. So, that means that on Tuesday she gets SPAYED. Dun dun dun. Bye bye womanhood! I wish I didn't have to do it, but I just can't deal with her going nuts once a month, meowing constantly, having her ass up in the air constantly. My little girl is growing up...

Today one of my roommates drove me around the city a little bit. We went mostly around the North Beach area, went to an Italian coffeeshop that she loves (she is of Italian descent, herself) that used to be a place where a lot of Beats hung out. I had a great latté.

This city is beautiful. And the weather is just my style, to boot. Today it was clear and sunny; nigh-tshirt weather. Of course, earlier this week it rained incredibly hard for a couple days. The bad with the good. Or, the one with the other. I shouldn't be so judgemental.

And, the other thing of slight note that I did today was check out the neighborhood Saturday flea market, near 19th and Alabama. Never have I seen so much cool stuff at such low prices. To put it another way, never have I seen so much stolen stuff in one place. Car stereos piled high as an elephant's eye. My visit was brief, as I got the call from my roomie for our afternoon drive shortly after I got there. But, I did manage to buy one of those cool hats that I see so many of around here (picture of similar hat included). I really don't know if I look completely goofy in it, but I'm going to try and work it out. Gotta experiment to learn new things.

Ok, so that's it for today! Tonight may hold a party. Or, it may hold a few hours of making music. Or both!
