Random Conversation with a stranger

I was minding my own business walking from the San Francisco Soup Co. to my office when a disturbed frappuccino drinker said hello to me. She was probably around 19 years old and she said her name was Tiara.

Tiara: Hey, how is your day?
Me: Good, how are you?
Tiara: CAN YOU BELIEVE JESSICA SIMPSON, She is crazy?
Me: What, tell me about it?
Tiara: She like never brushes her teeth, that is disgusting. She wipes her teeth with her sweater instead of brushing her teeth. Can you believe that?
Me: I heard something about that- I cannot go that long myself.
Tiara: There is no excuse for poor hygiene, and she is turning 30, it's disgusting.
Me: Disgusting that she is turning 30?
Tiara: No, that she is that old and doesn't brush her teeth. Don't you think she is crazy?
Me: Yeah I do, you have convinced me, well I got to go back to work. Thanks for the chat!

Oakland City Center is filled with some pretty sweet people.

Oakland talent

This guy rules. I have loved his poster designs since I started college and now I live 10 minutes from him. It is hard not to knock on his door on the way to the temple, but I continue to respect him from afar. Chronicle Books has a new book out on Jason, which is typical because they always snag the best book deals, but Chronicle is missing out from not hiring me or my twin sister back in the day.
