Mixtape moveage

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Just as I’m getting in the habit of doing mixtapes, I’m moving them to another blog. Recently, some friends and I started a new music blog called Attacked by Jackets, and I’ve posted my latest mixtape there.

Fire in the Mission

Monday, March 17th, 2008

My apartment is right by the fire station, so I’m used to hearing sirens all the time. So, the first few I heard didn’t catch my attention. By the time the fourth went by, I could hear yelling and glass being broken. Then I heard an unfamiliar sound from the back of the house. I went to investigate, only to discover that one of the buildings across the back alley was on fire. My only response was to twitter, “Holy shit, a house down the alley is ON FIRE!“.

I quickly grabbed shoes, a jacket and my laptop (duh, I’m a nerd) and went outside.

Long story short, at least 2 buildings burned and our apartment smells smokey. No reports of injuries other than one fire fighter being treated for smoke inhalation.
