it's official

i don't like dogs. they smell, they drool and they lick other dogs pee off the sidewalk.

this week i have been dog-walking a weimaraner who belongs to a co-worker of a friend. i LOVE weimaraners, however jack (the dog) is CRAZY. he's a puller. even on his little pinch collar. its not a relaxing dog walking experieince. he's all over the place. i can't let him "off leash" (as dog owners say) and i am dying to take him to fort funston. it's not gonna happen.

today i went to the gym and while i was reading my new yorker on the eliptical trainer i read this comic that made me laugh out loud. the scene is at dog level of two police drug dogs sitting next to each other. you can see their handlers from the knees down. the dogs look at each other and one says, "you know, i'm starting to like the smell of cocaine." ha!

i was out working in my front garden today and my nextdoor neighbor came buy to tell me that she kicked a guy off my front steps this morning who was smoking a crackpipe. like at 10am. awesome. then she went on to tell me that a few years ago, in my side yard her and her partner found a stash of heroin and cocaine. i'm wondering how she actually knew that it was heroin AND cocaine but then she goes on to say that they did the "coke on your gums test" on both, flushed the heroin and DID the cocaine. i was like, you did drugs that you found ON THE STREET?!? she was all, "yeah, it was pretty good stuff, like grade two." uh...what the hell?

a little later my other neighbor tom came out to chat with me as i was working on the garden that borders his walkway. so i'm sitting on my little gardening stool with my back to the street and as we're talking, this guy pulls up in a car, stops in front of my house pulls out a camera and takes a picture. i was like, what the hell? and tom says, "well, he's either taking a picture of your house or of your ass." i love tom.

wednesdays are weird days for me. i'm usually depressed on wednesdays and i can't figure out why. i feel like just laying around on my couch and watching movies. today was no different but i managed to keep myself busy for a while (gym, dogwalking, gardening) before got i cozy to watch a flick. i fell immediately asleep and woke up at 5pm. awesome! then i went to meet my friend, june, for dinner and then went to get dragged around hayes valley by jack.
