Papolote

Probably my favorite Burrito in the city...I respect Papolote even more know that i know these two dudes eat there.

Slick Rick


KRS-1


found these on Papolote's awful website. Their website looks like it was made in 1997. Check out their Homepage. Good god it's useless. It really does just stink.

D3 Publisher announces Puzzle Quest on iPhone this fall

Never one to miss out on smudgy, fingerprint filled ports of hyped puzzlers the app store will be recieving  a portable version of the critical darling RPG/Puzzle hybrid. The port will be handled by the team at Transgaming. Let's just hope for fair pricing, no one wants to pay $10 for a game they've already bought on every console known to man(I'm looking at you Tetris/Bejeweled).

Inglourious Basterds: first look

Looks like Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino's new joint is actually in production. Now i'm actually excited. Tarantino usually comes up with these wild ideas to make movies and rarely follows through. Glad to see this one is finally going to production.

David Foster Wallace R.I.P

I am not sure if anybody has read this, but it has been going around recently since his death. I highly suggest reading or re-reading this. Print it out, read it on MUNI, while you take a poop, whatever. For those of you who don't know, David Foster Wallace is the author of Infinite Jest, one of the greatest books written in our time.

JIMMYFRAMA

New Morrissey album

Years of Refusal, due out in February. Just in time to mark my 21st year of refusal.

Some unknown street artist somewhere in SF is obviously just an anxious.

Early morning bum

My favorite bum, once again passing by my house a few days ago on his way to nowhere.

You should really listen to this album...

I downloaded this album because i heard the song Man Vs. Ape on the MASH video...it was a pleasant surprise when it turned out that the whole album is just grand!

my favorite track would have to be 'Glass.' i love the charging background accents. it's a beautifully produced track

Search images by colors

this website sorts out images by colors. it's fun to just fuck around with. i'm obsessed with it.

Cold War Kids new album

Cold War Kids just released their sophomore album, Loyalty to Loyalty this past Thursday. I'll admit, at first it took me a hard 46.6 minutes to get through the album. I thought that Nate was pushing a Jeff Buckley slash Morrissey impersonation, and that the form was all over the place. BUT, second time around, I shit you not, starting on Against Privacy (track 1), my thoughts were totally transformed. lets just say, the album turned out to be one of those albums where you have it on volume 11 on your ipod, and you strut to every beat, pretending to play the keys with a huge smile on your face (or that could just be me)

side note: CWK did not know of The Bridge that is a documentary about suicide jumpers jumping off the golden gate bridge, when they wrote Golden Gate Jumper. The documentary is pretty fucking freaky and if you ever want to walk on the bridge depression free, I suggest not to see it, if you can forget, great movie.

The albums is no doubtfully made to be played live and after the performance last night at GAMH (which by the way has the best sound in any venue in the city, possibly northern California) Cold War Kids still got it and fuck whatever Pitchfork says. representing Fullerton bitches. They even switch gender roles in Every Man I Fall For. Well done kids, well done.

next over-quoted cult comedy

Project Runway this week

So ridiculous. Come on now.

Fucked around and got a triple double

Rode to school on the bike today. It wasnt too far in distance, but the steady inclines were brutal on the knees. Here's the route that I took.

Macaframa debuts in Vegas today

I cannot wait to hear the feedback. hopefully it's as good as the trailers make it out to be.

Bike polo monday!

My friend Kate invited me to hang out and check out some bike polo...what's bike polo you ask? well, it's like regular polo, but with bikes instead of horses. I guess they get together every Monday at the Dolores park tennis courts and play a few rounds of this rough sport.

There were a few collisions that made me cringe. There was blood shed. There were tales of broken limbs...yeah, I don't think I'm quite ready to jump in there and play, but I will definitely be out there again to observe from a safe distance...

If you're not doing anything Monday, grab a 40oz of Old English and hang out and play/watch some bike polo. Good times.

One week anniversary!

The IRFO blog is officially one week old! Time to celebrate with a few Tecate brand beers, and Fudgie the Whale cake from Carvel

Decided to give this a try

swing and a miss?

Leather + Whips = fun times for everyone

This year will be my first time going to the Folsom Street Fair. I'm not sure what to expect...I will be decked out with full photojournalism gear so it's unlikely i'll have time to get whipped, or have my cock flogged, or whatever the hell goes on at this fair...or is it a party?...but we'll see.

OMG Shoes

I will have dirty dreams about these shoes until they are finally on my feet.

I attempted to try them on during my forbidden Marc Jacobs spree the other day, but since they did not carry them in the store I was unable to throw them in my cart of things I had absolutely no disposable income to buy, but said 'fuck it' to and bought anyway.

My birthday is in five months...so if anyone just wants to get these for me and get it out of the way, and gain a best friend in the process, feel free. I'm not a shoe whore at all like most women, but these ones are just too perfect for me. I guess it's not as cool as a new camera, but whatever.

possibly the greatest live performance ever

Sighting!

A backside view of my favorite bum. If you look closely, you can see how tightly his jeans fit. Also, you can see his windbreaker and backpack. He was probably on his way to where he hangs out during the day, wherever that may be. I'm pretty sure he sleeps somewhere in GG Park, because in the mornings when I leave for school he's usually emerging from the brush.

Hopefully I can get a front view soon. I still want to know his name.

Halloween in San Francisco

once again, Halloween is going to be a clusterfuck of an event in San Francisco. I'm not going to shell out $31 bucks to party with some Destiny's Child flunky.

Just hanging around

David Blaine started his new endurance challenge today. He's going to be up there for about 60 hours if everything goes to plan. there are a bunch of medical reasons that could prevent him from completing this challenge. one of those medical problems is that he could end up losing his vision...

My favorite bum

This morning I had yet another run in with my favorite bum. He's not my favorite because he has some witty sign, or because he does a funny dance in the middle of the intersection. He is simply my favorite because he wears super fitted flared jeans, a windbreaker and a large backpack each and everyday, a la Jason Rosete. I need to find out what his name is.

I have been tirelessly trying to snap a picture of him for sometime, but all of the opportunities seem to be a bit too obvious and I have yet to assess whether he would totally attack me rabidly upon seeing me take his picture, or continue on his way. Today I was actually able to get one from behind, his denim in plain sight, but I guess I had taken one too many picture of Brendan Benson last night at Treasure Island and was not able to save it on my phone. Better luck next time!

i think i want this more than the Canon G10

Olympus released a concept camera utilizing the Micro Four Thirds technology. this would be great for photojournalism since it's small and doesn't look as intimidating as a chunky DSLR.

Custom sneaks

My good friend Ariel painted these Vans. I think she's an amazing artist and hope she goes far. Just thought i'd share her creations with you folks.

Let The Right One In

this movie looks really good...i cannot wait to see it. Good Horror movies are hard to come by, and based on what i've read and seen, this movie looks like it will deliver...

also, speaking of foreign horror movies, if you have'nt seen [REC] yet, it's a must see. It is my absolute favorite zombie movie right now.

Mozart Score Is Found

A single sheet of music discovered in the archives at the Médiathèque library in Nantes in western France is a previously unknown piece by Mozart, the BBC reported. “His handwriting is absolutely clearly identifiable,” said Ulrich Leisinger, who is in charge of research at the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, which helped to authenticate the find. The 15-measure melody sketch dates to around 1787, according to a posting on the foundation’s Web site (mozarteum.at), and is part of a collection left to the city by Pierre-Antoine Labouchère (1807-73), a painter and citizen of Nantes.

Brandon Flowers is a babe

Unlike most, I am not ashamed to admit that I like and listen to The Killers. In fact, I love The Killers. Their live show kicks ass and Brandon Flowers is, in my opinion, the most desirable babe ever.

Also, my encounter with the band and their associates about a year ago left me with some lifelong friends, so cheers to that.

The new album Day and Age comes out November 25th, and needless to say, I'm pretty excited.

Maybe they will even do another Joy Division cover.

An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth

I got to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds light night. his performance was just grand! it was a little on the short side but that's not necessarily a bad thing. He stopped at just the right moment and i was left satisfied. I have to give a shout out to Zach for hooking me up with a free pass.

Svrf + Destroy

Props to the Svrf + Destroy crew for hooking up a t-shirt. Check out their blog. It's a grand read!

"The heckya mean?"

finally got the Fargo tattoo i've been clamoring about. i think it looks beautiful. for those of you asking why i got this tattoo...does it have meaning? what on earth made you get that PERMANENTLY on your body? well, i got it for a few reasons...Fargo is a perfect movie. one of my favorite movies. Steve Buscemi is in it. it's a great image. etc...

i love it.

An enticing offer

Downtown Owl

Picked up the new Chuck Klosterman book yesterday. I tried to read the first few pages on the MUNI, but the overabundance of Asian school children hindered my concentration. I wish those little brats would tone it down a bit. Too much after school energy in them. Settle down! There is no need to yell about every little thing you see in your annoying high-pitched voice.

Road apples

one of my favorite scenes from This Boy's Life. if you haven't seen it you're missing out. it's one of my favorite movies with Bob DeNiro and it has a damn good plot. Rent it, borrow it, download it, quote it.

DESCENDENTS

Good Gravy!

Photo stolen from Dpreview...obviously.

Canon just released a bunch of new cameras today. some point and shoots, some prosumer cameras, and what every camera nerd has been waiting for, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. the new 5D is able to shoot at an ISO range of 25,600 at 21MP...might i add it also shoots full 1080p HD movies.

Son of a bitch! I wish I would have waited to buy a camera that shoots video. See full preview here.

Do want

Zeiss will start selling their lenses in their ZE mount...i have a Carl Zeiss lens with a canon EF lens mount adapter, but focusing and exposure is a pain the in ass. According to Dpreview "the new ZE lenses from Carl Zeiss transfer all information exclusively via electronic contacts. This means that all exposure modes such as programmed auto exposure, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual setting are supported," and that "the camera’s automatic focus confirmation also remains available to an unlimited extent with these manual focus lenses."

I'm Sold.
