i'm a freelance book designer, huge vinyl nerd, and kind of a stoner.

in july moved from oakland to rio vista, pop. ~10k mostly retired, which you may have heard of if you stopped at the destination bar on main street once.

i will give views on: graphic design, small-town living, politics / culture if i have an angle that i haven't seen, and immigrant life (born in argentina but i've been in the US longer than you maybe). plus humor so dry you won't know you saw it.

that joke about the cop asking a guy under a streetlight what he's doing and the guy says looking for his keys and the cop asks, did you lose them here, and the guy says no but this is where the light is.

keys = my friends
where i lost the keys = twitter
where the light is = well…

bottom line maybe what i really need is a locksmith.

on the one hand there's zuck lying to congress, on the other hand, cambridge analytica was a couple of guys in a straw hats and striped blazers trying to sell campaigns a monorail to the voting public's myers-briggs electoral personalities.

Zuck lied about Cambridge Analytica? We're shocked. Shocked we say. QT SenatorMenendez: It's no surprise Zuckerberg lied to Congress—he’s shirked accountability, evaded my inquiries for years, and his staff misled us on multiple occasions. As we gavel in this new Congress, we must continue the work of holding online platforms accountable. https://www.engadget.com/mark-zuckerberg-misled-congress-sec-docs-183809371.html

lol, it used to be you'd erroneously write the previous year on your checks till at least the first week of march of the current year, i don't know how i wrote the current year when i meant the previous, glorious one.

¿qué mirás, boebert?

andá, andá pa’llá.

so far everybody i've seen from my office building had the same new year's resolution, to wear running clothes and walk more.

the traditional 1st annual yearly reflection on similes i've used, ahem:

park like a cop (parking crooked when there is room enough and even some lines painted on the ground to facilitate straight parking, usw blocking other cars)

mouth like a republican (santos, gaetz, graham, mcconnell; how do these people get kissed??)

comma like MAGA (to type a space left of a comma)

peg like to the dollar not like the other common meaning (something i actually said during a work meeting)

dan brought a sheep's wool for us to skirt, card, etc.
all i want to do in life is upstage fran lebowitz.
sacramento river mansion status: 1st month's use of the gravity furnace (a thing the size of a VW bug in the basement) yielded $350 increase in PG&E bill, casual flood advisory for the county but mostly for downtown here where there's no levy, while we're on higher ground so the house merely smells like a wet piano.
