in a weird place

that comment- the month python one- didn't click. at all. i haven't seen enough monty python to recognize the reference. i hate you hesse.

welcoming gift?! what would welcome me more than anything are both of your demises. at my hands.

oh yeah. that clerk at borders. another thing that just came to mind. he kept saying "elementary my dear watson" over and over again. as if that weren't trite enough. not sure why sex and the city made me think of that.

if i were blogging last week, the day i arrived, i would have said something along the lines of: san francisco blows. or San Francisco = SF = FS (commutative property?) = Fucking Sucks.

overcast clouds, pastel houses mirroring a trippy encounter, terrible traffic/drivers, crowded one-way streets. and the mounting sexual tension. something about this city just keeps screaming sex. it was very uncomfortable. it still is.

what's a good guide to any city? lonely planet, frommer's foder's? contemplating purchasing one.

Pssh. Clear your sched Tuesday noon/afternoon. We're going to explore the City.

A guidebook? It all depends on what you're looking for. NFT (not for tourists) is really good if you're living in a city because it just lists services by neighborhood. The SF one is portable enough to put in your back pocket. If you're looking for foodie stuff, Zagat has reviews of the best restaurants in town. Also, Chowhound (the website and the book) compiles foodie places to go. For touristy stuff, I like Lonely Planet or Let's Go more than Frommers or Fodors because they have younger writers.
