613. Winter in San Francisco.

[Update: video link fixed. Enjoy!]

The Embarcadero buildings, a view from the ice rink below and, well, below:

May we all be as cheerful when we fall.

I fell, too, after I took this photo. I stink at multitasking, and my ice skating skills are mediocre at best.

janelle renée song of the day

This is the best song of All Time. Moving, tender, bitter-sweet... it perfectly captures the essense of our shared human experience. Warning: Grab your tissue.

So Long & Thanks for All the Fish, by Neil Hannon
(If you rather watch a video and hear the song, click here.)

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all, but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

So long, and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all, but oh dear!

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish!
