San Francisco!
Jul. 29th, 2008 06:20 pmGreeting from the City by the Bay. I'm sitting in Kat's living room looking out the bay window, watching the Golden Gate Bridge slowly being enveloped by fog.
Alkaline Trio at the Fillmore last night was a blast. Kat was first in line, no surprise, so we were on the barricade at the center. We had a nice time chatting with the security guy, who had to be well into his 50s, but with long hair and muscle tank top and leather wrist bands -- you can picture the type. He obviously loved his job and was very good at it too. My only complaint about the show was the sound quality rather sucked...for the first half of the show I couldn't really hear Matt's vocals at all. Matt looked great, as usual, and of course, saw Kat and gave her a smile. Guess he likes having his own personal stalker. ;-)
Took Kat to work this AM, then drove around the neighborhood that I'm thinking of buying a house in. I really think I can find something there that will be good for me. Hurrah.
To another topic... I can totally understand that someday a person may decide, for whatever reason, that he or she doesn't want an online presence anymore. Sometimes family obligations become more pressing, sometimes you think that too much of your life is being subsumed by online pursuits, sometimes you have a bad experience with a stalker, or maybe your interests change and you just get bored by it all. What I don't understand is doing it in the most dramatic and attention seeking way possible without a word of explanation to the people who thought they were your friends. I can think of no excuse for that. Enough said.
On a lighter note...I am wondering what evil thing Barb did. :-) Perhaps when the shaking stops in LA,
thelackey can enlighten us.
Alrighty, Kat's on her way home from work, and we have the important and onerous task of figuring out in which of this city's 84 gazillion restaurants we should have dinner tonight.
