And for those of you who don't live in San Francisco, here is a picture of our world famous cable cars. For some reason, there were a lot of tourists around town today.

I bought a book called "All About Me", which is like a book version of those silly LiveJournal surveys everyone does. Only since it's in book form, I'll treat it like an instruction manual of me.

He tells us about an art show in the city, and gives up an advert for it (this). So we went out again later in the night to visit it.

Apparently it's against the house rules to jump out of a window, so one of the place's security guys jump out after them. Some asshole blocks my shot though. "Naw man, that ain't cool." ... .... Actually, there's a ledge to a room outside of this window, so no one actually died. Oh well.
