Tsunami Alert!

At 19:50 hours (7:50pm) pacific time today, 300 miles northwest of San Francisco, a 7.0 earthquake occured. The following aftershocks triggered a Tsunami Alert for the entire western seaboard by the US Geological Society.

Luckily, the quake was a horizontal slip event, not vertical. Once this was discovered, the Alert was cancelled. (Only a vertical slip-event quake causes a “Tsunami” wave)

Of course, our call center was off the hook w/people calling in to find out what was going on. We were just moments away from going to full mobilization before the Alert was cancelled.

We are still here! (for now anyway)

BCC – Meet & Greet

This past Saturday I spent my time volunteering for the BCC Meet & Greet. (Pictures forthcoming) Minus the blister from tying balloons, it was a great time. The committee is much more organized this year and it is really beginning to show. The day went off w/o a hitch and we raised a sizeable amount of money to boot.

The Meet & Greet serves to officially introduce the incoming year of guys to the public. The day started w/Kitton on the Keys! A sort of burlesque meets vaudville entertainer. Funny as all hell! She was my favorite part of the whole day. Kitten honey, if you are out there, I LOVE YOU!

Pepperspray was in attendance as well and turned out a spectacular performance. I’m not a big fan of drag/glam bands but they were pretty damn good. To my surprise, I discovered I’ve already been “aquainted” w/one of the guitar players. He really is multi-talented. Who knew?! Anyway, I guess there is sort of a scandal surrounding Pepperspray beyond my indiscretions. One of the singers (in drag), also does porn. Apparently, he is really good at that too. Even decked out in face, it’s obvious when you see them in person which one he is. Not being really up on most porn these days, I haven’t the foggiest idea who he is ‘in the biz’. However, as fab looking as she was, under all that glam lurked a MAN. There was also a snake charmer performance. I thought it kind of lame. Eveyone else was oooh’ing and aaaaah’ing over it. I guess growing up on a farm w/tons of snakes as a norm, I was expecting more.

Afterwards, Mostovic, myself, Tyrone and his trick, oh I mean date, adjourned to Harveys in the Castro for a late meal. (Ok, I’m feeling caddy today, sue me!)

My food is here…more later.

Ups & Downs

Two updates today. Got some bad news from a friend back home. He hates blogging so I’ll be skipping the details. It is serious enough I may fly home. I also found out an old friend is coming to visit from Chicago.

I’m sad and happy all at the same time. Kind of an odd sensation. I wonder if this is how woman feel during “the time”.

Weekend Wanderings III

My weekend is fast coming to an end. After getting in touch w/my inner slut last night, I spent most of the day today getting errands done and goofing off.

As you can tell, I did manage to get some work done on the blog. I think I got most of the bugs out of the template. Now, I just need to remold the old pages. The biggest challenge will be getting the blog folded into the template.

I did manage to snap off a couple of new pics. I manged to catch Mostovic focused on his work.

Ponder Me This...

He came down to the Castro to meet me. Our schedules have been going in opposite directions as of late. It was good to catch up w/him. Even if it was short lived.

And here is Bobby posing under the posies. (not really posies but it sounded good!)

Bobby In The Posies

Again, looking so angelic. I need to get one w/an infrared lens so I can catch his horns showing.

I snagged a new one for the photo log on the right as well. Looking completely nuts as usual.

Template Update

I’m in doing some OT at work today. I’m on the fire side so things are nice and slow and I have a chance to work on the template. I redid the 100 things section. It is still in pieces but here is a preliminary glance of things to come. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get the blog to conform but the rest of the pages will eventually all be under the template.

Sad Day

It is a day like today that I hate my job.

(story)
A 11yo child was mauled to death by a pitbull today. My last trainee released solo took the first call and had to be taken out of the room after it was over. She was so upset, we had to send her home. I don’t blame her. I didn’t even take the call and I was in tears when I saw the child was confirmed dead.

The real pisser? The dog belonged to the family! I’ll reserve my comments for now as I’m so angry I could spit nails.
