pepe is here to stay

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

I’ve been following the commotion over illegal immigrants, not only because of the recent massive protest march that blocked all the freaking streets of Downtown San Francisco during the commute (I got home at 9:00pm that day, 9:00pm!), but also because it’s all over the place. I feel, therefore, compelled to chime in with my six [...]

road rage is not for crustaceans

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

I’m driving today into the parking lot when this asshole in a Honda Civic (honest to God it was a Civic – they haven’t cultivated a reputation for nothing) cuts me off at about 40 mph and proceeds to speed around the lot. As he is parking, I pass by and give him the evil [...]

off days are for sissies

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

I got a day off! A Friday nonetheless. Praise the Lord of cute purses! A day without shooting a pea. I decided to do what I don’t ever get to do: NOTHING. Psych! Halfway through the day, I decide to indulge myself and go to the movies. Mission Impossible 3 nonetheless (notwithstanding my intense dislike of overzealous possum [...]

this place sucks

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Have you ever seen the movie Office Space? OMG, you totally should! It’s a cult classic for generations of rats doing the race thing in cube farms around the country. It withstands the test of time because corporate America is quite resistant to change and tends to follow the rigid rules put forth in the Manual [...]

the case for not driving

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

If you drive, you’ve probably had this quandary during the past weeks: can I eat tonight or should I put gas in the money-sucking-machine that I call my car? Honestly, what the fuck is up with gas’ surging  prices? I live in San Francisco so that means that gas is now $3.45 per gallon or the equivalent [...]

11 reasons why I hate being a woman

Monday, April 17th, 2006

1) My period - One third out of every month is negatively affected by a combination of any of these: cramps, bloating, bleeding, emotional rollercoasters, disengagement from life, psychotic breakouts, pimples, and bouts of misdirected violence. 2) Make-up - As women we are expected to coat our faces with dust, dirt, and oily lotions for the benefit of…I don’t know [...]

i didn’t do it

Ms. Naomi Campbell is in trouble. Again. This time for, surprise!, another bout of mindless violence. This is not the first time the gorgeous one flies off the handle and pounces on whomever is closest to her. Which often happens to be an unfortunate  employee. Good grief! In the past, she has blamed her spewing [...]

think slavery has been abolished?

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Once upon a time, around when I first moved to the glorious city of San Francisco, I couldn’t get a job because I didn’t have a residence. Ironically, I couldn’t rent anywhere because I didn’t have a job. You see how that can go on endlessly, don’t ya? It’s a vicious circle; comparable to the [...]
