SwimFinsSFRandom irrelevant ramblings from a gay geek in San FranciscoNew Floors- October 15, 2006 New kitchen Originally uploaded by SwimFinsSF. Oh yea - and here are the new floors we had put in. They're still kinda rough cuz they're not sanded or finished but I still think they're really pretty. Kevin and Marites picked out some really cool reclaimed wood that came from an old barn. The wood is really rough but gorgeous and the flooring guy did a great job putting them down.. DAMN this house is gonna be nice when its done. :):)http://www.swimfinssf.com/2006/10/new_floors.html Weekend update- October 15, 2006 This has been one of those really odd weekend for a number of reasons. The first of which is I'm sitting here in a hotel room in my own city. I've never done that before. R&38;R have been gracious enough to let us stay with them while our place is getting remodeled (I can't thank them enough and will always feel horribly guilty for the imposition) but part of the deal is we promised to be like church mice and vanish if they have other friends that are in town. Last night was one of those...http://www.swimfinssf.com/2006/10/weekend_update.html A serious and a comical note... on Pages- October 11, 2006 Rather than blather on my own opinions about all the crazy crap that has been going on in Washington lately I'm going to leave it to others... First - a serious commentary.. I heard this on KQED on the way to work yesterday and couldn't agree more...

Its Saturday and i've got a PILE of work I gotta get done.. Unfortunately my office at home isn't very useful right now (they're putting up drywall in the house and its a mess) and i can't get much done working on the couch. As a result I decided to come with Kevin to his office to work (since the alternative is driving to my office which doesn't sound like fun)... The upshot of it is that Kevin's office overlooks the bay bridge...http://www.swimfinssf.com/2006/10/workin_with_a_view.html Olbermann and Clinton- October 5, 2006 This is about a 10 minute segment but well worth listening to..http://www.swimfinssf.com/2006/10/olbermann_and_clinton.html New Art- October 3, 2006 The remodel isn't even done but we've got new artwork to put in the new place. Some time ago Kevin got in touch with Casey O'Connell who was an artist whose work was showing at Chow on church street. Her work is really cool in an edgy innocent sort of way. Kevin originally was scouting for artists to show at the art shows at Gensler but after talking about it we decided it would be cool to get one of her pieces for home. We met with her over dinner at Chow and absolutely loved her. She's...http://www.swimfinssf.com/2006/10/new_art.html |
