Watched The Blair Shark Project last night. I want my money back. The website screams BASED ON A TRUE STORY, but 99% of the film is just someone’s imagination.

I woke up early this morning, so I walked over to the community garden. I really like mornings. The stillness and freshness. I would be a morning person, if I could also be a night person.

The garden is looking good. Starting to see some green coming up. I finally posted the first pictures of it, click the picture to see them:

I also posted some photos of my trip up to Calgary to see the family. Click the picture to see them:

Anna and I are going to be married on Oct 30. My parents were married on Friday the 13th, so we were tempted to make it Halloween as a laugh. But Saturday will be easier to manage. The plan so far is: A small, short ceremony at Cedar Glen (where Anna’s Father’s ashes are scattered) the afternoon of the 30th. Then a casual party in San Diego later that night.

A depressing story over at GQ about the treatment of Joe Darby. Joe Darby is the whistle blower for the Abu Ghraib prison abuse/torture/rape/etc.

I love tea. I have found the perfect office brewer. This little baby is pretty slick. Hot water in, tea in, then set on your glass and it pours the tea out, catching the leaves.

I drink a lot more tea with this thing around.

I am a tired man. We spent about 4 hours putting in our garden today. The soil was quite hard and full of rocks, so it took a long time. I think it will be a fun thing to have though.

Went to the new pizza place on 25th and A. They are sort of like bronx pizza, only walking distance and no attitude. They have great thin crust pizza and you can buy them by the slice. I will be visiting again.

Congressional Budget Office says tax burden fell for those making $1M, increased for lower levels. Ok, I’m not really shocked.

Bill & Morgan (neighbors) and Anna & myself bought a plot at the golden hill community garden. We are heading there this weekend to dig it up and get ready. Everything about the garden (ecologically, socially, etc) makes for a great project.

The legend is dead. They killed off Gaslamp Liquor to build some more condos. Seems to be the standard M.O. for San Diego – raze everything and put up new shiny things. Makes you wonder how long it will be until downtown is a replica of suburbia.
