I love this story more each day.
Dolores Park, 2pm Saturday. (via sfist)
Hate Floats is one of my favorite half hours of television ever. I’ve seen it three or four times in reruns by now, and I never tire of it.
Sergey Brin steps up to the plate. So does Levi Strauss.

Kerry Killinger, brother of Henry?
New favorite Chinese restaurant of the moment in SF. It’s absolutely tiny, but most everything is delicious: XLB and steamed dumplings, lamb skewers, pancakes stuffed with fried pork, fried buns filled with black sesame for dessert.
The proprieter used to work the front of the house at Old Mandarin Islamic (also delicious). I’m wondering if he poached one of their cooks, too. A gregarious fellow.
It bothers me how many phones have text dictionaries that don’t know the word “dumpling”. The closest they can get is “dumpking”, which is not really the same at all. This has bitten me more than once.
If you’re in California, spread the word, donate money, do what you can to help spread the word about voting no on prop 8.

Google indicates that this is the first time the phrase “Alaskan Air huntress” has been used on the internet. Pray that it is not the last.
John and I talked about how Kenley was our favorite and then out of nowhere turned into some sort of reality-TV Everywoman whose head is so far up her vintage ass she’s unable to realize that her personality (and voice, let’s get real here) is absolutely atrocious. I’m really hoping that Nina Garcia will take all of her bottled-up, Elle-induced rage out on her next week.
I like Kenley and all, but Mr Coates is spot on about her voice. It’s as bad as Sarah Palin’s voice, to me.
She’s the worst. Some experimentation in our apartment last night revealed that the key to doing a good Kenley impersonation is the sideways eye-roll to accompany your nasal drone.
Reality show editing is reknowned for being sketchy, but she seems like a deeply unpleasant person. Her arrogance reminds me of Santino, but his work was more consistently inventive.
And the whole Betty Page look is tired.
I’m hoping for a Korto/Leanne/Jerell final.
