Quote of the day taken from today’s NYT. (You’ll need a NYT account to read the article in full. Get one if you don’t have one.)
“Ms. Rice ‘has appeared everywhere except my local Starbucks,’ Richard Ben-Veniste, a member of the commission, said in an interview.”
So, Saturday, Sylvain cashed in on his Valentine’s Day gift and we went to the Damien Rice concert at the Warfield. It was one heck of a show!
Highlights included: Vyvvienne’s cover of The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army (awesome!), Radiohead’s Creep, Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah (which I hear he DIDN’T do at his last concert at The Fillmo’) and Cold Water played in absolute darkness. Awesome show – I highly recommend seeing them live.
It was also solidified that we are now “adults” (not that we were in denial before, but it was now even more evident) as 99.99% of the audience were 30-somethings.

Dreamlike
Les films d’Andrei Tarkovski sont tres oniriques.
Andrei Tarkovski’s films are very dreamlike.
Yesterday Sylvain and I received a letter from INS. Our appointment is in two weeks!! And all I can think about is the movie Green Card…
If you’ve strolled Fisherman’s Wharf, you’ve either become a hapless victim of the bushman, or you’re like me, sitting across the street amused, watching this man startle tourists from behind his tree branches. I seriously could watch him do this all day. (Does that make me a mean person?) AND he gets money for doing this.
So, if you have some free time, check him out in action at Fisherman’s Wharf.
And for those that are complaining (puhleeze)…aren’t there more important issues that we have to deal with?
Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be!
-Miguel de Cervantes
Headline from Yahoo! News:
“Ireland’s Smoking Ban Starts on Monday”
Just received a call from the doggie daycare – they call the parents on the pup’s first day – and Lucie is getting along fabulously! A little freaked out at first, but now she is playing, playing, playing. Let’s hope she tires herself out. ;o)
Someone at work recently told me that in order to succeed “you got to play the game.” Aren’t people tired of “playing the game”?
After recent headlines, I’m surprised more and more people are NOT moving to places like this:
Calgon…take me away!
So today, Lucie & I ventured down to Welsh Street for an “interview” at a doggie day care center. Lucie remembered the place fondly – Puppy Kindergarten classes and Puppy Social Hour – and was dying to get in. So naturally, she didn’t sit still during the interview: whining and yelping. Only time she was quiet was when she was offered a cookie. (She’s quite smart.) Hopefully, next week will be her first few times at day care. Hope it goes well.
