Countdown

That's right, less than one week until the big move. In honor of that, I'd like to tell you guys a little about Daly City.

It's disturbingly easy to leave without knowing it. For the longest time, I thought the second Target was in Daly City. You know, the Target that's less than half a mile from the first Target. It's not, it's in Colma (AKA Deathville). This morning, for instance, I decided to try to get home a different way. All the sudden I'm in Pacifica. I don't even know where the fuck that is!

I'm also squarely in the minority here. So when I go for a walk or a run, small Asian women watering their lawns eye me unpleasantly, because being a minority, I obviously feel compelled by forces I can't explain to pillage, loot, and plunder.

Daly City has been described as "the ugliest city in America." Obviously that person didn't like post-modern architecture. Or was squeamishly purist about it. I personally enjoy Bauhaus style architecture painted in Coke Nosebleed Pink (AKA 80s hot pink). It's deliciously tacky.

Finally, you have to know that Daly City is a haven for the crafting community. Because anytime you talk about any kind of crafting, someone will say that the cheapest place to get supplies is Beverly's in Daly City. I'm not kidding. This has happened multiple times.

All in all, not a bad place to live. And the ocean's right over that cliff. Almost completely inaccessible, but it's there.

Is it love if . . .

. . . your tummy gets all shivery every time a boy opens his mouth? 'Cuz if so, I'm in love with The Get Up Kids. Yes, the whole band. I want a boy to say to me, "Trespass fits you like a charm." In case anyone was wondering why Lynn doesn't have a boyfriend I think that statement gets at the heart of it: there is something fundamentally wrong with what I want out of a boyfriend. Seriously, who would say that to someone?

Also received Arrested Development Season One and Two. Jason Bateman hotness. Mmmm.

Plans for the weekend:
Friday -
1. Be tired.
2. Watch Arrested Development and craft.

Saturday -
1. Do laundry.
2. Write for Ginjg.

Sunday -
1. Go to the flea market/hope to buy cool stuff.
2. Go see Missy Higgins, OAR, and Cake at GG Park.

I'm tired just thinking about it, but how cool is Sunday going to be?
