The rainy season has finally descended on San Francisco. I'm ready for dark mornings. Tall buildings draped in fog. Mist. Wearing a denim jacket and toque. Weather that fits my mood during the long work day.
The week has been a weird mix of too much work and staying too long at the hotel bar with co-workers after work. I haven't spent much time at home.
And the fun continues as Halloween weekend has filled my calendar. Friday night is No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. Last time I took home $49 dollars.
Don't know what I'm talking about? I learned how to play by watching Celebrity Poker Showdown. Phil Gordon knows what he is talking about.
I have an invite to a house party on Saturday. Unfortunately, I have no costumes in my possession so I might have to slap a "My Name Is...God" sticker on my jacket.
Last week, there was talk of a fund-raising costume party at counterPULSE on Sunday but further information is non-existent on the website.
Sunday might be my day of rest.
Other than Okkervil River, I've been listening to to old Belle & Sebastian while finally starting to focus on the band's biography, Just A Modern Rock Story. I also recently purchased the 33 1/3 book on Radiohead's Ok, Computer. (For frequent updates on the series, check out the 33 1/3 blog.)
As the bonus mp3, Belle & Sebastion's contribution to the Help: A Day In The Life album:
The Eighth Station of the Cross Kebab House.mp3 (5669.2K)
For a few bucks you can pick up the tracks by your favorite artists for a good cause, or you can get the whole album.
