Asian Heritage Street Celebration / LOVE PSYCHEDELICO / Wizard of Oz in Dolores Park

The plan for last Saturday was to meet up with Chiyo at Church St and check out the Asian Heritage Street Celebration, which due to an ambitious yet unsuccessful advertising campaign had a relatively poor turnout. There were much more attractions than the Sakura Festival a few weeks back but there were much fewer people. I have some hilarious videos of rappers scheduled in the afternoon rapping about the hos in da club to small crowds of little kids owing to poor scheduling. I had convinced Chiyo to wear her Yukata (like a light kimono) and she looked wonderful in it. When we got on the bus everyone was staring and one guy we passed said “nice dress” from his seat, and when we stood in the aisle, an old lady pulled on her sleeve and told her how beautiful her clothes were.

Irish Pub / Oysters

Continuing from my last post, I went to an Irish bar with Chiyo on Monday. It’s where my boss plays trad music with a few guys and I wanted to show her a little bit of Ireland so I invited her out. She wore the most adorable polka-dot dress with matching shoes and looked totally out of place there, but she had a good time and the way she looked at how the bar was set up and what drinks they were selling reminded me of how I look when I go into a big electronics store. On the way we passed a Scientology building and there were two ladies at the door who asked “would you guys like to see a movie?” as we approached.

Busy busy / Last Saturday

It’s been over a week since I posted on this blog but I have plenty of news. The days go by so quickly here and once I have anything at all taking my evenings or weekend days, I suddenly have hardly any free time at all. For example, this weekend I spent Saturday with Chiyo around the Haight, then spent Monday night at an Irish bar where my boss plays with some guys in trad sessions every Monday night, with Chiyo. And tonight, I’m going to an oyster restaurant in the Castro… with Chiyo.

Maker Faire, Japanese Office, Documentary Producer

I guess I have a lot of stuff to talk about, but seeing as most of it has gone past the 24 hour mark I’m not going to remember it in enough detail to write a lot (which is probably a relief for you).

GTA4, rant, music

Just home from work now. It’s 10:35pm. Yesterday it was about 11pm when I got home. I’m contractually tied to 40 hours a week unless I request overtime, which I haven’t done. So what’s keeping me? Grand Theft Auto IV. The big IV came out yesterday so as soon as work was over I went to the nearest Gamestop/EBGames over on Powell St and marched straight up to the counter and asked for it.
