"I'm from San Francisco. I know folks who've,
you know, been in the system and they'll just
say flat out, 'Look, like, she's a cop.' On the
other hand, what's always been really telling
for me is that there are a lot of folks within
San Francisco's criminal justice reform
system, a lot of organizers, a lot of community
groups that are pretty ride or die for her. Like,
they don't agree necessarily with all of the
decisions she's made, but they recognize that
she was one of the few people to even give
them a seat at the table."

Unearthed

I went to bed at like midnight last night and didn't get up until 10:50. Thats so much more sleep than I needed... I prefer it when my body is just happy with 8 hours. More sleep is better than no sleep today, 'cause I'm goin in to set up my schedule at Perry's today with Devon, the night time manager. I had hoped that when I finally rose from bed this mornin' there would be a message from 'em tellin' me what time to come in, but alas, there was not. So now I'm just gonna call-- saves me some effort, and gets me to the gym a little sooner (no waitin' around).

I didn't go to the gym yesterday, I instead went walkin'. Pam and I went from Dupont to Chinatown and went out to eat at this really yummy spot. I'd share the name, but I haven't a clue what it is. Thank goodness for chinese friends. They order for you.

Pam: Do you eat weird stuff? Like, would you eat an ear?
Mike: I'm from the country, would you eat scapple?
Pam: Word.

So, we fooded it up and then went to Wok n' Roll (hehehe!) to get Bubble Tea, which is a yummy-yummy bevarage served on ice that has large tapioca balls at the bottom (like the size of marbles).

Pam: It's good, and besides, you love it when balls shoot in your mouth.

She didn't fib, it was good. I had a lil problem with the ear, and only the ear, 'cause when you bit it, it made the sound as when I got my cartlidge pierced. As funny as it is, if I coulda gotten past the *crunch*crunch* I woulda been fine, 'cause it tasted good. I think I just need another go at it.

We walked from china town back down to my house, which really sets up a positive theme for Pam and I: walkin'. We were both elated to discover that the other was a walker-- I love just high steppin' through town, and so does she. Last night she and I walked from Dupont to Adam's Morgan and then came back down to L'orial Plaza for margaritas and pantains. The plaintains were horrrrrrrid (what we get for stoppin' by late at night), but the margaritas were tasty treats.

Hopefully with the start of this new employment stage, I'm gonna actually have the oppertunity to do a 'lil shoppin' when I'm in Chinatown, or order an actual entree instead of an appetizer at the Plaza. I should call them now.
