Normally I don’t read anything this long on the internet, but I couldn’t stop, and you won’t be able to either. Ramona begins:

I wanted to invite you over for game night, and then I wasn’t really sure if I was going to invite you, but then I decided that I would.  I forgot your number, because I’ve been sooo busy lately, and I asked my roommate, but she didn’t have it either.  It’s like no one has your number anymore, but eventually I did find it, obviously.  Anywho, It’s gonna to be really fun.  I’m supplying the drinks and some snacks, but if you’re going to eat as much as you did over Christmas break then you should probably bring something of your own.  I’m taking some really interesting psychology classes, and I seriously think of you like every day.

whatevsaboutit points us to this golden housing opportunity:

$680 hoarders haven (mission district)

Hello, I am seeking a nice room mate to share my 2 bedroom home.

You won’t have to pay utilities or do any chores so it’s perfect for a young person or a student.

But I cannot have anybody touching or moving my stuff because it would set off a chain reaction of emotions and feelings towards you and towards my things. Hoarding is not a mental illness, it is something environmentally responsible because I don’t like to throw anything away. But the San Francisco Department of public health said my living conditions were unsafe and came in and forcibly removed my things I have been collecting for over 40 years. It traumatized me and I have been rebuilding my collection ever since.

If you are a hoarded this would be a great place because someday, it would be so full of things that we would have to sleep outside. My friend did that in LA but here it might be too cold and the city is very punitive against hoarders and homeless people. Isn’t that ironic? They don’t like homeless people, but they don’t like people with homes either.

Please contact me by email as I am unable to get to the phone right now. I have a phone but it only rings. Once in a while I can get to it but it’s so far away and very hard to get to. If you had a cell phone that would be better.

Drew Hoolhorst, my new favorite San Francisco blogger, spent yesterday afternoon in Dolores Park:

I was hanging out this afternoon in Dolores Park and a few things dawned on me:

1. Dolores Park is essentially the crowd for a Phish show that has no idea that Phish is not coming. And that they are not at a concert venue. And that it is, in fact, not legal to do drugs in downtown San Francisco. This is also why Dolores Park is mesmerizing and is also basically one big car accident that you cannot stop staring at. I was offered today (in no particular order) weed truffles, a banana cream pie, a small ukulele, a hula hoop lesson, a thick leather bracelet that went out of style in “always”, cold beer, water (ha! just kidding), and finally (my favorite): a couple’s demanding that we all watch them make out. Quick note about the couple. Hey guys, either start taking off some clothes or go home. Otherwise, all I’m getting is skinemax, and every time I try to fast forward it’s just the part where you have all your clothes on and give each other eskimo kisses. Wait, you’ve never seen that in a porn? Weird! Neither have I! This porn sucks.
2. Swingsets and many other childhood games/playground items are essentially like putting your kid in a taxi cab in downtown Cairo with no seatbelt on, and then leaving them in the car while you light firecrackers and chuck them in the window while laughing. (No, I have never been to Cairo, but that’s just me assuming it’s dangerous while also possibly skewing towards “accidentally racist”)  (Link)

Brolores Park killed it this weekend:

“was a little worried about this lil angsted Kurt Cobainbro, until he brought out a 40. Knew that he would be fine, since a 40 is a bro’s best bro.” (link)

Available here. Read that interview I did with some of them (in which they lament the long-shelvedness of the DVD project and list everything that’s cool about it) here.

Brolores Park has been “getting brocal” in the Mission since May but have only made 3 posts to date.  Hey bros, this is what we call a “comedy goldmine.”  Start posting more.
