My Weekend of Construction

My Weekend of Construction

Originally uploaded by SwimFinsSF.

Just signed up for ‘flickr’ since that seems to be all the rage these days… One of the things it seems to be able to do is post to my blog – not sure what that’ll look like so i’m givin it a go..

As to what this is – This is the result of my construction project with Matt on Saturday… I showed up at noon on Saturday to help him build a playset for Audrey.. What I showed up to find was a pile of lumber and plastic and a big bag of screws and bolts … nothing that even slightly resembled a jungle gym… But after 5 hours and a trip to the hardware store this is what we were left with.. Very cool… You can check out Matt’s blog for more details! 🙂

Weekend ahead

I’m SO looking forward to this weekend… Partially just cuz I REALLY need a break from reality and partially cuz there is a lot going on in town. Lookin like this guy is gonna be headin to town – hopin to catch up with him at some point… Also talked to this guy about helping him set up a jungle gym for the kiddo… On top of that Randy and Rick tell me there is some sort of Love Parade tomorrow worth checking out.. And then Sunday is the Folsom Street Fair which I wouldn’t miss… between all that i’m sure there will be some rest and some play… regardless i’m looking forward to it all.. 🙂

Woo hoo….

Now back to work… 🙂

Ryan K. Robertson: 1972-2005

I just found out about Ryan’s death this morning. Even though we haven’t spoken in quite some time his amazingly positive disposition and glow will definitely be missed!

Pursuit of Happyness

On my way to grab lunch today on my work at home day I figured out what they’re filming in Duboce park. Its a movie called ‘Pursuit of Happyniess‘. They were out there stopping traffic today as 70s vintage cars were driving up and down Duboce and Steiner.. According to IMDB its some film with Will Smith… So if ya feel like checkin it out they’re out filming all day today! :):)

Just Couldn’t resist

I’m sorry.. I know these things are silly.. But I just couldn’t resist… So while I was sitting here waiting for my carpool this morning (and after reading a bunch of work email) this is what I found out:

You scored as Buffy Summers. You are a very strong individual. You do, however, have some trouble admitting how you truly feel. You’ve experienced a lot during your life, but you more than manage. Always willing to help, you’re a great friend. Which Buffy The Vampire Slayer Character Are You Most Like!? created with QuizFarm.com

Love / Hate

I know they buy the products that pay my salary but I’ve gotta say that some times the movie production companies make me a little nuts… Two examples of why came up just this weekend. First, Kevin and I went downtown last night to meet Randy and Rick for dinner at Blupointe (which was very good). Unfortunately, after letting Kevin off at the restaurant, I made the mistake of turning down California Street which landed me right in the middle of traffic caused by some production having streets in downtown SF closed off. It took me a good 20 minutes just to get myself back out of the snarled traffect and parked. Dinner was great after that but I did need a couple of cocktails after dealing with traffic saturday..

The other is this cool new BART station that suddenly appeared in Duboce Park this week.. We were all excited that they had some how quietly dug bart tunnels that would come by our house and maybe through the city – it would make getting to the airport and down town SO EASY from home. Unfortunately I spent a while this morning googling bart to see what the plans were to no avail which lead me to walk down to see if there was info on the site.. No such thing – but I did see the signs saying that there would be filming in the park on Wednesday… Dohh… So t hey built a big concrete fake subway exit in the middle of our neighborhood park for a film shoot… Long as they put the grass back the way it was (or better) I suppose its OK but still kinda odd..

I suppose its one of the costs of living in a pretty city like this one .. but I’ve learned to cringe when I see the star wagons..
