sf being a small town, it went like this
“and for this one I got a few days ago, it’s Sun Ra so you know I gotta get something that sparkles”
"what night did you go?” another customer asks
“saturday”
"I went friday”, he says
“right on”
“sparkles, what are they like ABBA?" the frame shop worker asks
“no, kinda the opposite of ABBA" says the other guy
“more like jazz I guess" I say
“afro-futurism" he says
“uh, OK" the frame shop guy says

Getting another @paulrickards piece framed at the same time as the @SunRaUniverse poster I got Saturday at the show.
I wanted to get the plotter piece with ornate yellow cope in the top right corner but it would have been 10x the cost so I lowered my sights a little to the one on the piece. 🖊️☀️
And the Sun Ra Arkestra poster absolutely had to be sparkles, but again the ones pictured around it are eye-poppingly expensive so I went with a smaller, finer grit, but still sparkle, not pictured. 🪩🤗

every morning I crack three eggs into a non-stick pan on medium heat, slide them off to a plate sunny side up when they are ready, return the pan to the stove, raise the heat to medium-high, and fry spinach and a few cherry tomatoes in olive oil which spatters oil all over the place
today after having made a mess, oh idk, probably a thousand times or so over the past few years, I plopped the spinach on top of the tomatoes once it wilted a little and it prevented the spatter mess entirely. gdi.

standing in the back of the club wearing a kn95 and earplugs wishing mask precautions weren’t a thing anymore and that i hadn’t stood where i did the entire j mascis (Witch) show in baltimore twenty years ago
also my phone just reminded me it’s almost bedtime

when I was a energy company security person back in the 00s my intrusion detection system hit on a VNC signature and I had a network capture running so I went and carved it out and replayed the video of it and it looked just like this and I panicked a little (I had no idea what our actual control systems looked like) and then called the worker who I saw on the other end of it
they were doing volunteer work for their local ice skating rink

and someone from the parks service walked over and gave us three huge trash bags and asked that we make sure to clean up after ourselves, which of course we had planned to, and did, but that was nice
-
someone approached and asked how we booked the spot because they wanted to do the same thing so I got to relate that story, then they took a picture one of the grills we were using, which I thought was weird, but I guess people just do that anymore
-
the picnic was a success, we used two of the grills, four or five of the tables, and some of us grabbed e-bikes back to work downtown from the parking racks up the street because the ride from Chase to the Ferry Building is pretty nice even on a cool day
