steve holt!
that is my favorite new exclamation. 2nd place: yogalates!
both of which i say to myself to cheer me up because this world is too fucking depressing. i'm mildly cheered by the new knowledge that chavez is making good on his offer to provice cheap oil for the poor this winter. that rocks. but everything else is so depressing. part of me really hopes the world doesn't end in my lifetime because i dread the idea of drowning or starving to death or dying in a huge fire when someone bombs the chevron refinery, but another part of me thinks that would be better than being reincarnated into a starving person in africa and dying of AIDS in my first few years of life. who knows. there isn't any part of me that is expecting things to get better, or expecting the planet to somehow recover from humans w/out first getting rid of us, but i wish i had hope for that. i wish i was naive and stupid, i think.
anyway i was wandering around point richmond last night with my dog, looking at all the pretty little houses and wishing i lived there, and wondering how so many snooty galleries and real estate offices managed to survive in such a teeny little neighborhood. but there are liquor stores too! like 3 of them, at least. and at least 3 bars. and there's a bus stop and a post office. what a cute little neighborhood. but then i saw the little library branch and the sign on the door saying it was closed due to budget cuts. that is so pathetically typical. in this wealthy and beautiful neighborhood, they can't afford to keep the library open. it's just so depressing. that's all i have to say.
