White Women Love BJ b/w I Say Dumb Shit When I'm Tipsy

On one of our first ventures into the city, we hit up the Noc Noc bar on Haight. Within minutes a lovely white woman had engaged BJ in conversation and insisted on purchasing him a drink. "I panicked and accepted" he said. I bitched and moaned about it for just long enough to make everyone uncomfortable, but then i let it go... kinda. Fast forward to last night. We decide to hit up Emmy's Spaghetti Shack for a late night dinner. We're in the bar waiting on our table when it happens AGAIN. A lovely white woman orders up a drink for BJ. This time however i INSISTED on paying for it. I should of course mention here that this woman did not intend to by BJ a drink. In fact she had been ordering her own drink when the bartender misunderstood and handed BJ another beer. Still, the story is MUCH more exciting when i tell it my way.

In other news, I say some assholish shit when i'm tipsy. Not minutes after paying for BJ's beer, we were seated at our table. I head to the restroom and on the way out i'm stopped by a woman who says she likes my Gangsta Mittens hoodie. She asks where she can get one. I thank her for the compliment and explain that it's my nickname and that i had the sweatshirt made. She says something along the lines of "no way, you're kidding." I reply with, "no, i'm dead serious... google me tomorrow you'll see."

Google me?

Who says that? She should have punched me. But she was apparently equally tipsy as she enthusiastically replied "Ok I will!"

Upon googling myself today I found links to OKP and Myspace... wow i suck.

Unless the Good Lord Speaks to me himself...

Dilla will be going home on Sunday.

Now i should preface this we LOVE Dilla. He is easily theeee most affectionate cat i have EVER come across. He would love nothing more than to curl up on your lap and be petted for HOURS on end... but more than i love Dilla, I love Fishbone.

Fishbone has been my baby for about 5 yrs now. He's quirky... not really big on affection... kinda mean at times, but *THAT* is my baby and I won't put another cat ahead of him. Dilla has made it clear that he has to be the dominant cat. Honestly, Fishbone could eventually get used to being the subservient cat. He's been in that position before. But he doesn't deserve that. So... Dilla will have to go back to his owner... not to mention i don't like the way he be hissin at my baby. He bout to catch a right hook to the jaw if he keeps that up.

Nevertheless I will enjoy the next few days, but on Sunday, I'll be back to one cat.

Round 1.... FIGHT!

In this corner... from Washington DC... weighing 20lbs...

FISHBONE

And in this corner... hailing from The Bay Area.... weighing about 10 - 12lbs...

DILLA

I dunno how this is going to work out but these two have been circling each other for about an hour now. No one is scrapping but they've been hissing and growling. I'm honestly not worried too much about them. They've both been around other cats. My only concern is that Fishbone doesn't go back to being a recluse. I like the "new" Fishbone and i don't want a new cat to compromise his progress. We'll see though. The next 48 hrs will be interesting to say the least and i don't think i'll be leaving this house.

Wish me luck, it'd be nice to have two cats again

George and Kristy ride bikes... we walk

We walk far too.

I'm sitting here writing this blog when i should be icing down my knees and sleeping.

Today we walked from the apartment to Golden Gate Park. That in and of itself isn't that big of a deal, but we walked into the park and to the Japanese Tea Garden. While the walk was worth it, my knees are killing me right about now. I know that means I need to walk more but that shit is painful.

Golden Gate Park is great. Besides the fact that if we ever managed to walk all the way thru it we'd end up at the Pacific, it's just a dope ass HUGE park in the middle of the city. It's like it's a completely separate entity. The entrance to the park off Haight St is a bit seedy. Lots of homeless folks and druggies, but pressing along a little further will reward you with peace and quiet and LOTS of nature.

One thing i like the most about San Francisco is the weather... or rather the oddness of it. You can be in our neighborhood (Haight Ashbury) and it'll be cool and damp. But a 10 minute bus ride downtown will take you to an area that's sunny and 10º warmer. I'm not really used to that so maybe the novelty will wear off eventually, but for now i like it. Walking thru the park was kinda like that. We managed to out walk the fog and cool weather and stay in the warm sun for the most part.

So we walked this far:


Yes, that shit is *JUST* as far as it looks. But like i said, it was well worth it:

Vegas

So on 7/19 BJ turned 30... I know he doesn't look a day over 15 but trust me, i've seen his birth certificate.

Vegas was hot... and that's a HUGE understatement. It was like 91º at night... what kind of crap is that?!?!? But we still had fun. I was once again reminded why i don't gamble regularly. I lost my gambling allotment plus the dinner money on the slots. My luck at the Casino War table was no better. I did double my money on the black jack table in a matter of minutes... and managed to walk away. I went back ten minutes later and gave back half my winnings.

We drank amazing Mojitos and I spent a lot of time laffing at people. I don't think BJ appreciates my meanness but some ppl need to be laffed at. It's just a part of life. Despite the heat and losing money, we had a great time and BJ even alluded to going back to Vegas in the future.


At any rate, here are some pics that we took in Vegas.








We're not mad in those last photos... just hot and tired.

I realize we haven't been taking nearly as many pics as we should and I assure you I am making an effort to fix the situation.

Here's the full "gallery"

Yes, the presentation/arrangement leaves a LOT to be desired but I have 2 million other things i need to do today... sue me.

You over did it homes... you had too much to eat

Ok... so in celebration of BJ's rapidly approaching 30th Bday, me, B, E, Dom, and Mariam headed out to celebrate.

We started out with beer (Mariam and I had the pomegranate cider). From there we crossed the street for Thai Food. The restaurant was absolutely gorgeous and the food was good too. We had tofu satay, fish cakes, and prawn summer rolls as appetizers. For entrees there was yellow chicken curry, spicy mango chicken, garlic basil chicken and a beef and spinach dish that i can't remember. Every single thing was DELICIOUS.

Our next stop was supposed to be La Rondalla for margaritas, but they were closed. So, we headed to the Pride of the Mediterranean on Fillmore for hookah, tea, coffee, and as many inappropriate comments as we could come up with.

M0st people would have probably called it a night at that point. In fact, we probably should have... but instead we went to a place that serves Belgian fries... and crepes... and we ate some more. My stomach is full... it might be overfull... but it was fun... LOTS of fun.

Tomorrow evening me and B head to Vegas for more excess and hopefully a rewarding dance with a slot machine. Wish us luck!!!
