FOUR WAYS IN WHICH MY LIFE IS JUST LIKE PAC-MAN'S.
By John Crownover

1. Ever-present wail of sirens
2. Relentlessly pursued by ghosts
3. Four special pills daily keep ghosts at bay
4. Occasionally eat some fruit

it's so hot right now

My bro sent me to the new Flash-ness for the new GTI here with the instructions that I "drool, drool, drool."

The car is hot. Yeah, I guess we're siblings.

Today my IT guy asked me, "what are you trying to save?"

Good question, IT guy. Good question.

So... every year in June in San Francisco there is a Height Street Fair. Every year, it seems, I go to that fair without ever meaning to or planning on it. Anyway, the first time it happened I was supposed to meet some people who I never ended up finding, so I ended up walking around this fair that was clearly getting into full swing all around me.

It was a trippy day all in all, but I'll never forget that I ran into this guy who was just insane. He was walking with a staff that had these pins and dangly things, he was wearing lots of jewelry and had this big dreadlocked hair and most significant of all, a big cape covered in silver sequins. He looked very intently at me, seemed to register something and then touched my arm. He said, "Wishes from the heart come true."
