FYI: The Retartist.
http://sweet-nectar.blogspot.com/2005/09/retartist.html
Monday, September 19, 2005. Retarded, plus artist. Retartist. That's me. At least the teacher seems nice. Although, I can't tell if his comments are more words of encouragement, or that he is so dumbfounded by my utter incompetence that he is unable to muster anything else. I'm hard at work at the drawing board, and he'll look over my shoulder, saying:. Encouraging Interpretation: "This is starting to look like an actual painting.". T: "I like how this has an abstract style.". So, we move from pastels to...

FYI: Mistaken Identity.

Wednesday, July 20, 2005. Wait a second, it's President Bush we're talking about here. That's when you realize. Looks uncannily like Larry Hagman, J.R. from '80s TV's Dallas. I can imagine the thought process that went into this one. VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: Now, Mr. President, there are a clear number of leading candidates to replace Justice O'Connor. PRESIDENT BUSH: This decision will not be easy, but I will do what I believe to be just and right. PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, slap my hog, if it isn't J.R!

Friday, October 14, 2005. Today, I received a nominal name change; a promotion, if you want to split hairs. Now I have to remove the "Applications Engineer" moniker from my license plate holder, and hit up the trophy shop for a "Senior Applications Engineer" desk engraving. What does a Senior Applications Engineer do? Well, let me summarize:. Affinity for fresh ingredients a must; willingness to accept new sandwich challenges, double meat offers a plus. Proficiency in bread, sauce and pepper selectio...

Monday, November 14, 2005. Roadie for a Day. Hey Peter Frampton, do you like toast too? As do I. It is warm and crispy. And the perfect place for jelly to lay. Now get away from me Frampton, I ain't got shit to say to you! And I had every opportunity. Trey took a few steps, turned to me, and offered a genuine "Thank you. Thanks a lot." And that was that. Posted by Jeff @ 1:36 PM. San Francisco, California, United States. View my complete profile. Let Me Explain Myself. Overheard at the Housewarming.

Friday, June 24, 2005. Get Off My Lawn. Ray is bummed today since his law firm buddies ditched him for a weekend of camping in favor of girls (they ruin everything). "Yeah, that's the reason I brought up the H2 and the rifles. wanna see the rifles? Unbeknownst to me, there has been an AK-47 in my apartment for a week now. Five guns total. We are officially the most fortified compound in the Marina. And now, a rip off LCD Soundsystem:. Posted by Jeff @ 12:00 AM. San Francisco, California, United States.

Wednesday, July 14, 2004. Smackdown for $400, Alex. Trying for something non-death-related here. So, you've probably watched Jeopardy! Sometime in the past six weeks, and see the one-man trivia wrecking crew, Ken Jennings, decimate his opponents with the ferocity of a lion and the skill of a lemur. (Assuming lemurs have skills. Perhaps they have skillz. He eclipsed $1 million in total winnings on yesterday's show, and none of the games that I've seen have been remotely close. Finally, if the Millers didn...

Tuesday, May 24, 2005. Key To The City. Before moving here, someone mentioned that I wouldn't understand this city. For nine months, I probably didn't, or at least had enough East Coast context still built in me to turn my blinders on. But things clicked during the race. Citizenship in what, though? What was this mass of people- what made it different, what made it San Francisco- what did I have at that moment that I didn't have before, which made me one of them? Accountability and consequences- it makes...

Tuesday, August 02, 2005. More on the move later. But first, a story about Friday, and a revealing one at that. Friday was a day dedicated to two things: packing, and the 80s. I took the day off from work to pack the contents of my apartment into boxes before going to the Tainted Love concert. You may remember Tainted Love. The guy who dies? No, I'm supposed to be Maverick, see-. Judy walked in. "GOOOSE! John: "Yeah, you're totally Goose.". Jay: "Even Goose had a montage. Montage. Not to mention Cocktail.

Thursday, September 30, 2004. A Whole Little Shakin'. Here's a brief report on My First Earthquake (TM), occurring Tuesday, September 28, 2004, at approximately 10:12 AM PDT. AN ASIDE: MUSIC WITH EXTRA CHEESE. Posted by Jeff @ 11:32 PM. Monday, September 27, 2004. Dónde está, Pedrito? I'm sure you Boston folks know this by now, but news takes a while to filter out here. Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez has a little friend. A little, 28-inch tall friend named Nelson. Here's some coverage. If men or women of suc...

Sunday, September 11, 2005. Overheard at the Housewarming. I fucking hate this fucking game. Fuck! You shouldn't say fuck so much, the people won't like it.". How else am I supposed to describe things? I don't want to drink this. beer? Yeah, we pay $2600 for the three of us.". So, that's not bad. $700 each.".
