Show us something dangerously cute.

Chance's kitty, Parker, back when he was still kitten-sized. I haven't seen him since then, but I hear he's become quite the fatty. ♥
The only two beanie babies I own-- the cutest of them all, naturally. They're in wuv, which is the same as love only cuter. ♥
Show us a self-portrait.

Take a photo of something in motion.
Inspired by Meg.
Haha, cool! I don't even remember my exact wording...but it was something along the lines of: take a photo of something moving while moving. But taking a photo of something in motion is good enough (and less confusing, I suppose).
Taken while out driving around the outskirts of San Francisco.
The Blue Angels from this years Fleet Week.
My Great Dane, Lucy. Three feet tall, two hundred pounds, lazy as hell, and I still can't get her to stand still for a picture. Looks like a bad photoshop filter, eh?
Yeah, pretty much.
Show us some shades of blue.
Taken exactly two years and two days ago from today.
Cloud photos. My guilty, trite pleasure.

Give us artsy fartsy.

I asked because I was curious what types of responses I'd get. And alright, honestly, I was hoping for a lot of bullshit. Thanks for humouring me guys! Here's my brand of "artsy fartsy":
March 07, 2005. Union Square, San Francisco. Life is random guys, an apple told me so.
OSHI-
This store sells "Ceramic Tile". Parking meters? You mean parking penises.
Show us a sign.
Submitted by the roo.
Signed on October 3rd at a little after 10PM during an event at Kepler's Books and Magazines in Menlo Park, CA. Neil is a very funny, very cool fellow, and was incredibly nice given that he had probably signed almost 500+ books before me and given that he openly talks about how much he doesn't really care for signing anymore, I was definitely surprised. Pleasantly though!
HOWEVER! Even though I rarely ever go to Menlo Park, if I need a book fix, I will never ever shop at Kepler's due to how rudely both myself and my friend were treated while there. We were only seen as giant walking wallets, and were practically refused a signing because we did not purchase Neil's new book Fragile Things from them (they did not mention this on their website- in fact, it said Neil would sign two books and did not say one of them would be his new one). I had already bought a pre-signed copy of it at the Berkeley event the night before, but explaining that was like talking to a stone wall. Eventually, a super nice guy behind me lent me his extra copy and the surly staff member left me alone, but man! So annoying.

Oh, also!
Found at Market and 9th on March 19th, 2006.
Thai Salmon at Asqew Grill up in The Castro.
This is the first time I've documented it in a photo.
Usually, I eat it all before I remember I wanted to take a picture of it.
Go eat a sqewer or two there, you won't be disappointed! :9

To the left is the park sign on Steiner Street. The whole area is laden with these penis-shaped pillars. They even have HOLES carved in on the tips. Talk about subtle. And this one inparticular has some sort of pee-stain yellow moss growing all over it. Beautiful.
Just before Steiner Street at Hayes, you will find this beautiful victorian. It felt so out of place between the large slab of an apartment building to the left and the equally drab house next door.
Right around the corner live the Painted Ladies. I wonder what sorts of people live in them, and if they have any weird stories of crazy tourists trying to get inside for more pictures. I mean...these houses are one of the most photographed landmarks in San Francisco...there's no way everyone will look but not touch.
I really suck with directions, but I believe the above shot is from the West side of the park (since Sutro Tower is visible). Down the hill and to the right is the off-leash dog area of the park. There was a big group of dogs there that afternoon, and I really, really, really wanted to go play with them, but as usual I was too shy.
From the North, you can see Golden Gate Bridge peeking up above the horizon, but just barely. And now, for some other Victorians!
No seriously, how cool is that?! Every morning, I'd wake up, walk out on that balcony and pretend I was King of Alamo Square. You would do it too, admit it.
THE BEST VICTORIAN I've ever seen. I want to go up to that cute little breakfast nook and eat some Belgian waffles.
And last but not least, this gem of an entryway. How ridiculously awesome is that?

What's your favorite foreign accent?
Show us a local landmark.
This past Friday, one of my roommates and I walked up to Alamo Square to finally see the Painted Ladies of Full House fame. The weather was perfect for an uphill stroll (i.e. insanely cold and windy, but lovely once you've worked up a sweat). There were much more beautiful victorians other than the famous six in the area, but I'll leave that for another post.
Here's the view that you usually see taken. Beautiful houses, but I really couldn't imagine living there, even if I had the money.
