Amusing

I listened in on a conversation at the sandwich shop today, where a guy tried to explain why his short term memory was so bad, but he couldn't even remember to finish the sentence.
It went on for ever.

A Swedish guide to bars in North Beach

I had the pleasure of having 7 Swedish guys in my kitchen Friday night before my husband took them out for drinks around North Beach.
This is the bar crawl I recommend to them, and anyone else spending a night in NoBe:

- Gino Carlos: local bar for local people
- 15 Romolo: loud music, whiskey cocktails and bar food
- Vesuvio: nothing touristy about Jack Kerouac's hang out, this is genuine.
- Tosca: as seen in Basic Instinct. And once I bumped in to Sean Penn with entourage at the bar.
- Tony Nik's: what happens here, stays here. The best bar staff in the city works here.

Went to see Coriolanus tonight. It was much better than I thought. And I thought it would be pretty decent.
