- I went to the Giants/Dodgers game in San Francisco on Friday night, and that shit was kinda scary. I’d been told they were rivals, but I didn’t know it there would be actual threats of violence and people being removed.
- I saw Pineapple Express and Burn After Reading. Pineapple Express is funny, but weird and incredibly uneven. I zoned out plenty during overly long, horribly choreographed fight scenes. Burn After Reading I really liked, but I won’t love it til I see it a time or two more. Too much going on. Also, I did my first movie hop where you sneak into something else after the film you paid for is over. Somehow in three decades time I’d never broken that rule. Here’s too late bloomer rebels.
- I went to San Diego, and it ranks as one of the best weekends of my life.
- While in San Diego I attended a birthday party for a seven year old that was, in a word, awesome. It was Hairspray-themed. The kids made protest signs and picketed. Most were about wanting more money, like the one that said, “More Money for Jack (that’s me).” A little GOP protest. There was also the excellent “Gum for Too Years Old.” Then we all marched down the streets of Mission Hills chanting things like, “What do we want? CANDY! When do we want it? NOW!” This was, obviously, great fun.
- I had a blogger party at work, and it was a hit.
- San Diego has a lot of poser dudes in cars with giant rims who play very loud music. As if its 1997.
- I haven’t been home since Friday.
- My traveling companion for the weekend is one rad individual. I am one lucky lady.
- Tomorrow is my birthday month.
- Hooray for short weeks.

I remember watching a guy gets his ass kicked in 1987 for bringing a blue and white Playmate cooler to a Dodgers game at Candlestick. (Back when you could still bring in your own cooler.) He protested that he was a Giants fan, but they still beat him up for bad judgment.
The Bay Area was a cranky place during the Reagan years…
Funny thing about the Giants/Dodgers rivalry? It only exists in SF. People in LA could not give a crap; SF only exists in a hypothetical sense to them.
