Art - Ask for it.
OK, you asked for it. Fuck art.
This campaign includes billboards plastered all over San Francisco talking about how children to not recognize who Caravaggio was, of PSAs interrupting my stock crack on Bloomburg featuring a little girl who asks her dad to read her a planning and ordinance tome and another child changing the radio [...]

Another Weekend in Fresno Flies By
I love visiting my family, and I love seeing my hometown and my new niece. But every visit makes me a little more depressed and anxious.
My visits to Fresno lately have been declining in quality, it seems. So much is happening to Fresno, from new communities and new freeways and a new downtown skyline, but [...]

Contemplating the Pittsburgh of the Carolinas
… So if David and I moved to Winston-Salem, would y’all ever come to visit?
We’ve been looking at houses there. There’s so much more of the types of neighborhoods we like there, and it’s all so much cheaper. Plus the decay and oldness of the place satisfies our ever-so-gothy aesthetic affectations… Plus it’s much closer [...]

It’s Cute, But I Wouldn’t Want to Live There
Yesterday my parents dropped in on me at work in SF. I showed them Twin Peaks, West Portal, The Richmond, and South of Market - what I dubiously consider the interesting parts of San Francisco.

Friday-Sunday: A weekend in Durham/Raleigh. Originally I wanted [...]

Hello San Francisco, Please Treat Me Well
Back in SF for a couple weeks. Not quite as ready for this trip.
Friday/Saturday in Winston-Salem was nice. I want to return again soon. Have I mentioned how much I like it there?

To My Homeowning Friends
…Please share with me your first-time-home-buyer stories.
As many of you know, David and I are shopping for a home. We are looking to move this summer. I’m so totally clueless and I want to hear something from people other than industry peeps and my parents on what the best ‘order of operations’ might be.
I’d be [...]
