So I was wondering aloud the other day as to why there were so many Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). No Burger Kings, no McDonalds, but KFC everywhere you look. Then my friend Sean pointed out that it’s probably because Colonel Sanders and Ho Chi Minh are the same person. Apparently this is not the first time this observation has been made. Judge for yourself:

I am sitting in a Pink Floyd-themed bar different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of the Tina Turner concert DVD and I am going to play it back into the bar again and again until the resonant frequencies of Tina reinforce themselves so that any semblance of her speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What the others will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the bar articulated by pop music. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out the wrinkles in my brain.

So I’m in Bangkok and all was well until I realized that I have no idea what to do if the internet leaks. Luckily Thailand’s mobile service providers give all the most important details that I need to know.

So I was over at Noisebridge last night, trying to finish putting together a gadget. I needed a drill, so I made my over to the woodshop area. When I got there, I saw a couple of people putting varnish on a large wooden box. That isn’t a… “Yes,” they said, “it’s a coffin. For people to have sex in, while they are buried alive.” (italics mine)

Apparently it will be covered with a foot of earth, so technically it’s still being buried alive, and there will be cameras in the coffin so the sex will be filmed. And people will just wait patiently in line for their turn to get in the coffin and have sex. Like it was the most natural thing in the world.

God I love San Francisco.

I was going to start a blog just about this but it turns out that I’m too lazy.

Long story short, I’m in San Francisco for a month. It is rad. I have a hot pink road bike that goes pretty fast. People around here are really friendly. But they are also kinda ugly. Yesterday I went for a run in Golden Gate Park. It was just like that scene in The Room.

Along the way I have learned some things: fog at night is both romantic and totally shitty; every Chipotle burrito I’ve ever had was but a cheap imitation of any burrito I can get here; and it is really quite cold here a lot of the time.

If anyone has been here and cares to read this, do you have any recommendations for things you liked? I will do those things and then we can talk about how much we both liked them.

Tomorrow I go on vacation AND become homeless. Contemplating using the Twitter to keep in touch. Contemplating being homeless. Hmmmmm.

Today on the track, I ran past a couple of people who looked to be in their mid-to-late 30s and pretty fit, and as I’m weaving between them and another group of people who were walking, I hear the guy say in his thick Brooklyn accent, “Jesus, that’s the third time that guy’s passed us!”

I’m not about bragging to strangers on the internet, but whatever, that was a pretty good ego boost for someone who couldn’t run up a flight of stairs six months ago.

“Shirley told me we were in for a bit of a change, but I reckon that little ball of screams didn’t know no better. Weren’t nothing to do except love it until it hates you, and all the while saving up for college tuition, all so it can load up on threesomes for four years and major in transgender studies, with a minor in eating your dreams. And every year a new reminder, another “Happy Birthday!” you say, though you can’t possibly mean it.”

- Birthday text I sent to Nick (with minor grammar fixes). He certainly got a kick out of it.

According to tumblr, I have had this for 2 years today.

The term “Blog Birthday” makes me shudder a little bit, much in the same way as when my grandma mentions my “Jesus Birthday” pretty much every time I talk to her.
