The San Francisco Bay Area says goodbye to AdamRL

goodbye, San Francisco Bay Area!

Where is adamrl going?

To hell.

Or LA.

Whichever is closer.

I'm going where the helicopters have cameras.

(xp)

going where the weather suits his clothes.

haha, if only that were true.

mirrored stunna shades, designer denim, DIOR bandana draped around his neck...

...A-SHOES....

Man U shirt (on game day only, I hope)

still in town for this?

Yes. In fact I want to go to that.

Shall we plan something for Admrl? What is a good night?

I am pretty damn busy almost every night! =(

Sort of scary that this is really happening now. I was boxing stuff up until midnight last night.

how about a (Friday?) lunch?

Could do! Next Friday maybe?

Actually, next Friday would be good for me. Everyone at work is away at a conference.

RSVP list:
1) admrl
2) Steve Shasta

haha!

Well, Kyle doesn't check ILX much and I don't think Alex reads ILE. But also I'm unpopular.

I eat my lunch at the freaks and geeks table of ILX (which, if you think about it, is REALLY saying something)

Okay adam, looks like just you and me over a Specialties Ham on Rye.

Just like old times!

ye olde tymez.

we really should just go to Medieval Tymes... such classic British culture.

or "London Wine Bar"

I read ILE. I'll be there. This is Friday, July 27th?

Where for lunch and what time?

You read ILE! Yes.

xp

I don't know! Medieval Tymes

Michael White!

I thot you were gone too

it should be centrally located. FiDi?

I can do most places.

so i've heard.

yeah

mwhite and alex and kyle, are you guys FiDi-ish?

I can hop the underground to get down there.

I will try to make whatever you guys agree to

we should have british food like enormous turkey legs and goblets of mead in adam's honour!

HonoUR! If you really want to honour my tradition(s), we could go to a Jewish deli. But there aren't many of them.

there's one waaaaaay out in the Richmond that I know of. And a totally overpriced one off of Union Square.

I'm FiDi and pretty much limited to noon to 1PM.

The best Jewish deli I've been to in the City recently is the one on Polk.

There is a glatt kosher restaurant just inside the chinatown gate called Sabra.

w-wait wait, there are jews in britain?

SHUT UP

;)

"The best Jewish deli I've been to in the City recently is the one on Polk."

Yeah East Coast West (aka Miller's Delicatesson) is the best SF deli. There is also Moishe's Pipic or Moishe Pipics (or Pippics) or whatever a couple of blocks from my work. It's good, but not world class or anything.

Adamrl are you in this???

w-wait wait, there are jews in britain?

I thought they were all wandering around the West Coast of the US.

I'm not wandering! I better be in that book.

yes I can do financial district, yes I can do that day, yes I can show up. even though I don't really like any of you.

I may bring my wife

FREDRIK:
She lightens my sadness, she livens my days,
She bursts with a kind of madness my well-ordered ways.
My happiest mistake, the ache of my life:
You must meet my wife.

She bubbles with pleasure, she glows with surprise,
Disrupts my accustomed leisure and ruffles my ties.
I don't know even now quite how it began.
You must meet my wife, my Anne.

One thousand whims to which I give in,
Since her smallest tear turns me ashen.
I never dreamed that I could live in
So completely demented, contented a fashion.

So sunlike, so winning, so unlike a wife.
I do think that I'm beginning to show signs of life.
Don't ask me how at my age one still can grow--
If you met my wife, you'd know.

DESIREE:
Dear Fredrik, I'm just longing to meet her. Sometime.

FREDRIK:
She sparkles...

DESIREE:
How pleasant.

FREDRIK:
She twinkles...

DESIREE:
How nice.

FREDRIK:
Her youth is a sort of present--

DESIREE:
Whatever the price.

FREDRIK:
The incandescent--what?--the--

DESIREE [offering a cigarette]:
Light?

FREDRIK:
--of my life. You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Yes, I must. I really must. Now--

FREDRIK:
She flutters.

DESIREE:
How charming.

FREDRIK:
She twitters.

DESIREE:
My word!

FREDRIK:
She floats.

DESIREE:
Isn't that alarming? What is she, a bird?

FREDRIK:
She makes me feel I'm--what?--

DESIREE:
A very old man.

FREDRIK:
Yes--no!

DESIREE:
No?

FREDRIK:
But--

DESIREE:
I must meet your Gertrude.

FREDRIK:
My Anne.

DESIREE:
Sorry--Anne.

FREDRIK:
She loves my voice, my walk, my mustache,
The cigar, in fact, that I'm smoking.
She'll watch me puff until it's just ash,
Then she'll save the cigar butt.

DESIREE:
Bizarre, but
You're joking.

FREDRIK:
She dotes on--

DESIREE:
Your dimple.

FREDRIK:
My snoring.

DESIREE:
How dear.

FREDRIK:
The point is, she's really simple.

DESIREE:
Yes, that much seems clear.

FREDRIK:
She gives me funny names--

DESIREE:
Like?

FREDRIK:
"Old Dry-as-Dust."

DESIREE:
Wouldn't she just?

FREDRIK:
You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Yes, I must, yes, I must.

FREDRIK:
A sea of whims that I submerge in,
Yet so loveable in repentance.
Unfortunately still a virgin,
But you can't force a flower--

DESIREE:
Don't finish that sentence!
She's monstrous!

FREDRIK:
She's frightened.

DESIREE:
Unfeeling!

FREDRIK:
Unversed.
She'd strike you as unenlightened--

DESIREE:
No, I'd strike her first.

FREDRIK:
Her reticence, her apprehension--

DESIREE:
Her crust!

FREDRIK:
No!

DESIREE:
Yes!

FREDRIK:
No!

DESIREE:
Fredrik!

FREDRIK:
You must meet my wife.

DESIREE:
Let me get my hat and my knife!

FREDRIK:
What was that?

DESIREE:
I must meet your wife.

FREDRIK: DESIREE
Yes, you must. Yes, I must.

where is this? do not reschedule on my account, as I said goodbye to AdamRL last night and will again before he leaves, and I don't need to remind you all that I find most of you detestable.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. Please be sure to tweak adam's nipple(s) for me.

That should give me enough time to make an appearance at work and convince everyone that I was there in the morning!

haha okeedoke

Monsieur Levine, what time are you leaving 'work'?

jax0n no jax0n

I'm leaving work around 5ish but I won't be around. Sooooo much shit to do. I am already a giant ball of tension (even more than usual).

Who knows about California landlord law? Am I right in assuming that after a tenant moves out, a landlord is required to apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls?

Not automatically.

OK. So, we painted two of the rooms. The landlord has given us one can of primer and said if we need anymore we should buy it. And now it appears she is out of contact. Does it seem weird for us just to apply primer and then leave? But if there was a certain color (even white) that she wanted, wouldn't she have been more specific?

I will put this to the landlord thread.

I would think they're gonna take it outta your deposit unless you paint it back to the original colors. That's what my landlord did with our neighbors.

personally I would never paint a place I didn't own, too much hassle

Hmmm...thanks, that is helpful.

xp

Yes but I don't particularly like white walls.

btw,

today is jaxon's birthday

sez facebook

i am UNABLE to make it and am sad. fuck. sorry dudes.

:-(

do you think they're still there?

No!

It's okay! Your non-appearance meant that I got a doggie bag! =)

But that Brian Lara game won't be worth anything now.

:-(

Adam, where are you going to watch live football in the southland?

In my house! Also there are English pubs a plenty. There's some famous one in Pasadena?

My new building! --->
