A constitutional

Yesterday I walked on down to the Haight because it was such a beautiful day. There I saw David and Katie finishing up cleaning out Katie's apartment. I helped them move some couches outside, and then we went to get a beer.

Went to some bar on Haight St. which had an outside area. The seats were taken so we just leaned against a wall, but we didn't mind since it was such a nice day.

We walked down to Cole Valley to get some wines, breads, and cheeses, and I went to a hardware store and got a Philips #00 to take apart my long-broken digital camera, a Canon PowerShot SD300 suffering the dreaded E18 error, and see if I could fix it.

After that we split up and I went back to the Haight and looked through thrift stores. I was mainly looking for button-down shirts and a nice blazer on the cheap, but I didn't walk away with a single thing I liked. Maybe I'm just indecisive.

I got in a cab and came back home. David and I took apart my camera, managed to retract the jammed lens, and then put it all back together. Sadly, it refused to power on. At least it has the dignity in death of having a retracted lens.

Oh, we also watched that address Stephen Colbert gave at the White House Correspondents Dinner, which was hilarious and accurate. The balls that man has.

My job is to ruin fun

Some of you zany radical pinko leftists out there might have read this article of rumors about the administration which has been reprinted in various sources, such as Daily Kos and Wonkette. Really, just lots of places, do a google for "iced underwear".

Being acquainted with Martin Random, I can assure you all of this is untrue. Martin is a very inventive and creative individual, and a bit disturbed, and while I'm still unsure of his motivation for doing this, I can assure you he is apolitical (to the point that he had to look up who the members of the administration were in Wikipedia while writing the article).

He and I belong to an internet community to which he freely admits it is untrue. In fact, he has written other fantasy stories about his life in the past, if people would bother to look through his posting history. In reality, he's just a law student.

You have to admit, though, it's pretty funny.
