Vegeterian Lunch Special

It wasn't until I unwrapped the entire ice cream sandwich and put it on a plate did I realize the genius in the diagonal ice cream pattern. 

I Am a Foodie

 There is a Grocery Outlet near my house.  It's now the market where I shop. Grocery Outlet sells products that are still good but set to expire within a month or two or already expired.   I bought a box of Peanut Butter Pop Tarts that were only $.48!  How can you go wrong! When I got home I put one in the toaster oven.  Within minutes the kitchen smelled like freshly baked cookies.  The toaster bell rang and I took my Pop Tart out and put it on a small plate.  It smelled great.  I took a bite and it tasted like a warm peanut butter cookie.  I was happy.  A while later I put the other Pop Tart in the toaster and in a few minutes I ate part of the second one.  It was hard to finish. I realized it was not good at all.   I looked at the box on the counter.  I had four more Pop Tarts to eat.  I was mad at myself for buying that bullshit food.  
I thought about the pain au chocolat I had at Tartine earlier in the week and how it was so much better but for the same price I could have had 10 boxes of peanut butter pop tarts or 5 outdated Toblerones or 2 tacos!

Give Me Five and a Knuckle Bump!

I had a screening of one of my films in an experimental film show.  When the show was finished, the host stopped me before I walked out of the venue.  "Hey I have something for you."
It was a piece of paper (actually the program of the evening's show) folded in thirds.
Maybe I was going to get paid!  I slowly unfolded the white paper  to reveal Abe Lincoln.
It was five dollars or 500 pennies.  'Well I can get two tacos"   I thought.  I was sort of hungry.
I went to the taqueria I used to frequent when I worked in the Mission.  I ordered two tacos.  Then I saw a sign on the register -CHIPS .50. They used to come with your order.   Later in the week I told my friend the chips story and he said "chips at my taqueria are $.69!"

You Want Butter on That?

I am thinking about what type of job I'll do next. I was at a friends house and met someone who was in town for a wedding.  He was from Atlanta. When I asked him what he did he said "I work for Delta" 
My friend who was sitting across from him said "Like baggage handler?"  I thought this was kind of rude and I'm not sure if the comment might have been based on the color of his skin.  Then I found out that my friend gave the guy a ride home last night so they must have talked about his job during the ride.  He wasn't a racist.
The wedding guest actually was sort of a baggage handler but he shipped animals.  I never even thought about this job existing.  I wanted to know what type of animals are flying around in jet airliners. Apparently there is a woman who travels with her pair of cheetahs and often passes through Atlanta.  I think I need a job that pays a lot!

Leviathan Part 2

Yesterday was free day at most museums in SF.  I decided  to visit the Conservatory of
Flowers.  I was enjoying the beauty of the water lilly and the reflection of the glass windows.
Suddenly a hand comes out of nowhere with a GoPro Camera and plunges into the water like its the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.  It really annoyed me even more than the coins in the water next to the sign that says "Don't throw coins in the water"

Take a Picture

Last month my brother passed away after fighting cancer for two years.  As I sifted through photos for the memorial I found pictures of myself that my brother had taken of me. 
The moment I looked at those pictures my brothers spirit was suddenly right there with me.  I envisioned him with his camera snapping away. 
Make sure people who you love take your picture because when you see the photo , you'll see them too.
