I'm really just kidding. I have no idea what blog flirting would look like. Maybe, "hey, nice use of CSS in your blog. Is that Netscapeable? Nice choice of date format. wanna share an RSS file?" or something.

new weblog trend: blog flirting. Like ev and prol. They're not in each other's blog circle yet they're linking to each other like crazy. hmm... Oh, and add blog eavesdropping.

I'm much better now. Thanks for listening. :)

Parking in soma is so messed up. If you live in San Francisco and work in soma: for the love of god, do not drive your car to work. Take the MUNI. or CalTrain. or BART. or ride your bike. or take a cab. If you plan on visiting SF in the near future: do not take your rental car anywhere near soma, especially if you plan on going to a baseball game at the new Pac Bell park. If you work at Sega or USWeb or any one of these billions of companies down here: please get some ride-sharing going on if you can't take the MUNI. A car may be an expression of your independence and individuality, but the environment and I (and you) need a break. To the parking lots: if you're full, put up the damn sign that says so. And quit raising your rates. To the city: please put in some sidewalks and parking garages. To the delivery truck drivers: I know you have a job to do, but man it's dangerous when you snarl up traffic by taking up a lane of traffic. If you live in North Bay like me and have to drive in: don't. It's a freaking nightmare. To everyone, especially me: breathe!!

Attention MEGNUT readers! megnut is moving her site. her site will be down or will be an old version while DNS works its magic on servers across the world. In the meantime, you can now get your new moment by moment nutty megnut memes here. keen. (why didn't I go into marketing? geez, that's some killer copy.)

more moon stuff. (last one, I promise.)
