Bloggin' Town http://www.bloggintown.com It's my town... so I can write about whatever I want. Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:11:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en Traveling to San Francisco http://www.bloggintown.com/traveling-to-san-francisco/ http://www.bloggintown.com/traveling-to-san-francisco/#comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:11:49 +0000 The Mayor of Bloggintown http://www.bloggintown.com/?p=101 http://www.infohostels.com/immagini/san%20francisco.jpgMy girlfriend and I went to San Francisco for Labor Day weekend. I’d never been there before and I really loved the city. 

We stayed in the SOMA district, right next to Union Square. Took the cable cars everywhere we could, rode our bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito, went to Alcatraz and hung out on the wharf - they have great fresh seafood there! It was a really nice, fun time.

I did notice several things while I was there though.

http://alpha2.bmc.uu.se/gerard/dombo/pics/ugly_001.jpg1) There weren’t a lot of hot chicks. I traveled all over the city… what the hell? Were they away for the weekend? Was I in the wrong part of town? There has to be great looking women walking around - where were they?

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/TruSlide50/FatBlackAssponcho.jpg2) Fat, young black women are obnixious and think they own the world. Now, I’m not racist in the slightest - my girlfriend is black. Ok, not really. I just wanted some cred. Anyway, we were on the cable cars and 5 huge, huge black girls came on board. The car was full - packed with families and older people - and these bitches start to talk loud, forcing everyone to listen to their conversation. One girl starts to talk about her pussy and how she had to go to the Dr. I swear I’m not making this up. Finally, one brave soul - a hispanic guy with 2 young kids, asked them to settle down cause there were kids listening. The one girl was like, “Huh? You talking to me? What did I say?” The guy said, “You were just saying some dirty things kids shouldnt hear.” She was like, “Oh, you mean talking about my pussy? I’m sorry bout that.” Then they started laughing. Each person on that car wanted to tell these whores to shut the fuck up… But thankfully, these worthless pieces of crap got off at the next stop. Hopefully they will all die soon.

Other than that - San Francisco was great!

Nothing big, just come over and check in on her. She’s been sick so I just wanted to make sure she would be ok while we were gone.

I started calling some pet sitters and leaving messages. At some point I found an blurb in this magazine called, Animal Magazine - original name I know. Anyway, I called and the woman answered.

It went like this:

Me: Hi, I’m looking for a pet sitter for my cat this weekend.

Woman: Whats that awful noise? (The noise was the trash truck outside of my apartment building backing up. You know, that beep beep noise?)
Me: Oh, thats the trash truck. Sorry about that.
Woman: I can hardly hear you over that racket.
Me: I’m sorry… anyway, I’m going out of town this weekend and…
Woman: This weekend? That’s too short notice. (I called on Tuesday).
Me:Yeah, I know… sorry. Again.
Woman: (clearly frustrated with me) Where do you live?
Me: Downtown.
Woman: Why would you call me? I only do Little Italy.
Me: Oh, well, I live right next to there. Like the next street over.
Woman: Did you look at my website? I only serve Little Italy.
Me: I didn’t see your website. I’m looking at a post in Animal Magazine. It says here you do downtown and Little Italy.
Woman: It doesnt say that. I only do Little Italy.
Me: I’m looking at it right now… it says Little Italy.
Woman: I can’t do this. It’s too short notice and I only do…
Me: Little Italy, I know.

Then I hang up.

Why would she be so rude to a potential customer? And if she finally decided to bless me with her services, do you think I’d let such a bitch take care of my cat?

Anyway, her website is:   www.whiskersnwings2.com

And if you look at the site, it clearly says serving downtown San Diego.

Now I’m angry again.

In my classes, on the phone and just walking around observing things.

I’m wondering if its me?

Whatever it is, it’s a total pain in the ass.. and I just end up being pissed off the rest of the day. I want to say something to these people but then I just look like a dick. I started wondering what I can I do to help stop this trend of people behaving badly.

I figured it out. I’m going to write about them. I’m going to post their names, websites, whatever info I can scrounge up on the person that’s been an a-hole to me.

Get ready… and F you.

I really didn’t think anything about it cause its a routine shot.

I brought her in, they gave her the shot and we left.  About a half hour later, she started to cry… then she started to vomit. After she threw up 3 more times, I brought her back to the vet.

They gave her some fluids and a shot of antihistamine and told me she should be fine.

When we got home, she seemed to be back to normal - I’m attributing that to the fluids. She ate a little bit and drank a ton of water.

Then about an hour later she started to cry again. She started looking for a corner but didnt make it and vomited all over the floor. I ran to her and she went into my closet where she projectiled all over my hand.

It was late by now so I couldnt bring her back to the Vet. I watched her all night and made sure she was doing ok. When I woke up the next day, she seemed better.

I gave her a little bit of soft food and thought we were out of the woods.

Nope.

She again started to throw up so I rushed her back to the Vet.

They put us in our own room and we waited. And waited and waited. We waited for a freakin hour! I dont know who your Vet is… but Banfield - the one’s at all the Pet Smarts - stink with having you wait. I mean an hour wait for a sick cat??

Anyway, when they finally came to us, the Dr. (very nice and apologetic by the way) looked over my cat’s files and told me to NEVER give her another vaccination again. If she reacted to the rabies shot the next reaction could be worse.

They gave her more fluids, medication and some special food and after a couple days she was much better. She is attacking my feet as I write.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Is this bad that I can’t get her vaccinated again?

I donloaded the sides, worked all night on them and went to bed feeling confident that I would do well.

I woke up, worked a little more on the scenes, got ready and let my house.

I got there about 15 minutes early, listened to music and about 10:20 I left my car and walked to the front gate.

The security guard came out and asked what I was there for. “I have an audition at 10:30,” I said.

“Those are tomorrow.”

Awesome.

That’s right Mario Van Peebles.

I wish I could say he was buying hemorrhoid medication but no… he just walked right past me.

This NYC cop arrested and filed charges against this bicycle protester. In his official police report he wrote that the bicyclist tried to run into him. The cyclist in this video was arrested, held for 26 hours, and charged with attempted assault and resisting arrest. That would have been the end of it except it was caught on tape where you can clearly see the officer walks towards the the protester as he passed by and knock him down. Judge for yourself.

I looked up at my earthquake indicator - the hanging Spider-man in the kitchen - to see if it was moving. It was.

“No big deal,” I thought, “these things usually last only a couple seconds”.  But this one kept going on and on.

I went and grabbed my cat thinking I’d run my ass downstairs and out the building but then it stopped.

I didn’t think anything else really about it but then my brother called me and asked if I was ok. “How did you know?” I asked. He said it was all over the news.

A 5.8 magnitude!

Freakin weird!

Every July, thousands of people flock to the San Diego Convention Center in search of movie previews, celebrities, hot chicks dressed as Wonder Woman, tons of free crap and, oh yeah, comics.

The panels are the main reason I go every year. This year, Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance shilling Wolverine - which I freakin missed! The Heroes cast was there and I missed them also - I went to the convention center an hour early and the line was seriously a mile long. People had slept there the night before so because of that I got screwed and missed Heroes and the Lost panel.

I did see three really great panels: Watchmen, Entertainment Weekly’s Visionary Filmmakers Panel and Kevin Smiths annual Saturday night fun fest.

I don’t want to go on to do a full blown review of the whole Convention cause there are a ton of them up already but If you ever get a chance to go for even one day, you gotta go.

I went to the dentist last week to take care of a filling that somehow fell out. How does a filling fall out?

Anyway, after sitting in the chair and hearing the most God awful noises whirring noises coming from my mouth, it was fixed.  And it only cost me $480! Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. $480?!

But it was done so what could I do about it? I couldn’t rip the filling out and say, “No thanks, I changed my mind.”

As I was leaving the dentist told me to be careful and not eat anything for a couple of hours.

Around 4 I got really hungry so I opened the fridge and took out a left over salad from the night before. I started devouring it when I suddenly heard a big crunch inside of my mouth. My tongue fished around and I spit out something white. Damn - my filling fell out!

I called the dentist and he said I could come in immediately. I’m far too lazy to do two things in the same day so I just said I would come the next day.

That morning, as I sat in the chair I got a sudden feeling of, “I shouldn’t be here.” The Dr. opened my mouth and said everything looked fine. I told him that it didn’t feel like anything was wrong but I just wanted to make sure. I then brought out the evidence. He looked at it with his little microscope and said: “It looks like a crab shell.”

Cut to: Two nights before, my girlfriend and I went out to dinner. She got Alaskan King Crab legs but didn’t finish them so we got a doggy bag. The next night, she made a salad but since my tooth was hurting we didnt eat much of it.  So, when I ate what was left of the salad that fateful day, then had been a little piece of crab shell left at the bottom of the bowl.

Back to the dentist office: I had a decision to make. I could fess up and tell the truth about the leftover crab…or I could lie.

I lied.

I told them I had made a salad from scratch and it must have been in the bag somewhere and plus, I didn’t even like crab (which was another lie cause I love it.) They thought that was just the strangest thing…how could a crab shell get into a salad bag? I thought it was equally strange since I had just made it up right there on the spot and knew I could have come up with a much better excuse.
