The Cats Meow

Palm Street Improvements Coming Along Nicely
The new, wider sidewalks from Third Street along Palm to the beach are looking pretty good. So too the new palm trees. The work at the parking lot between Ye Olde Plank and the real estate office is still well …

Insane Musicians and Idiotic Fans
So, the last two nights I've been at the Casbah. On Monday, it was to see Holly Golightly, one of the most underrated singers around. I couldn't believe we had to wait until midnight for her to hit the stage. …

You Eat Chicken, Don't You?
Becoming a vegetarian is easy. Explaining to those around you that you do not eat meat and having them respect your position is an entirely different story. I don't even want respect. I am now to the point where I …
Plaxico Dumbass and other NFL losers
Since the football games were yesterday, maybe a blog on the constant NFL police blotter. I was thinking about it this morning, and I really can't believe the NFL has games. With, I'm guessing, 75% of the league being idiots, …

Homeless In San Diego ( A Taste)
It's been almost four months since making my move from Colonel Libertad, Mexico. And not a moment too soon, considering all the killings going on down there. I am now living in sunny Escondido, at Interfaith Community Services, which is …
KISS, Scrabble, and Competitive People
I once blogged about a guy I played racquetball with. He was so competitive, it made it unenjoyable. I really don't understand that competitive thing. Sure, everyone loves to win. And I hate to use some old coach cliche, but …
