BLOW UP SF, designer drugs
Finally, I will go clubbing. At a hella tight electro-indie nightclub in SF (as opposed to at a typical boring hip-hop sleazerish club). Would have gone to seen Designer Drugs at the Subsonic Tent at BFD earlier in June if the Offspring hadn't been headlining at the main stage at the same time. I was pleasantly surprised that the Offspring was so fun.

Civilized City Contest
flashbrella, guangzhou
One 20-year-old college student who was serving as a crosswalk guard in downtown Guangzhou said his parents, who work for the government, forced him to volunteer for the duty. He looked embarrassed and bored as he stood on the curb wearing a yellow sash and carrying a matching flag that said, "Please wait for the green light."
"I don't really understand this 'Civilized City' campaign. It seems so silly," said the student, who only gave his surname, Chen, because he feared he would run afoul of the government and his parents. "Every year we do this stuff for a few weeks, and when the inspection is over, things go back to normal. People continue jaywalking and littering. It's just a show."
By William Foreman, AP
Glad I didn't go to Guangzhou the two times I've visited China. Had the chance though, but extremely hot weather, and the danger of being pickpocketed.. so didn't go.

pano;; wallet
Work was dismal today. No one wants sushi on a (relatively) cold Monday? Monday nights are usually good. Mehh.
Reading Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. Checked out Jack Kerouac's On The Road from the BPL today.
80spurple warehouse 30-70% off sale started today. Ughh I hate it when I buy stuff that was on sale, but then later check back to see it's marked further down. x[ Oh wells.
Adding to my 80spurple purchases: a Nixon black leather bifold wallet.
I've been wanting a guystyle wallet for a while.
Packing for home after summer session, I forgot to put my bottle of clear nail polish in my suitcase, so I put it haphazardly in my backpack, in the section where I put lots of junk including my scientific calculator that I've mostly used just to calculate my test scores (ex. 38 / 45 = ...?) and my deck of death cards and my wallet.
In the plane getting up to leave the aircraft, waiting in cue, I opened up that section of my backpack to retrieve my cell phone, and yes.. the absolutely noticeably smell of nail polish. Great. and it had gotten on my black Volcom girl fake leather large checkbook style wallet. I've only had that wallet for a year. Of course it's still usable, but because it's got all these sections, I put hecka crap in there including 4 slides of my art from AP studio art last last year and concert tickets and receipts and cards I don't use.
Glad I'm finally getting a guystyle wallet. Won't fit in my jeans' back pocket, but.. yay! Wallets are definitely another item I strongly prefer guystyle than girls.
Also got new clear nail polish.
On another note, I just checked the cell phone bill for the month.
My mom used 771 minutes.
My minutes usage: 170.

The Leaf
Auf den ersten Blick schaut es zwar eher aus, wie ein langgezogenes Festnetz-Mobilteil, aber in Wirklichkeit ist es ein Konzept für ein flexibles Handy, das sich um das Handgelenk schmiegt und von der Sonne aufgeladen wird. Und wenn um den Arm geschlungen ist, wirkt es durch eine Digitalanzeige wie eine stylische Armbanduhr.Das Design haben sich Seungkyun Woo und Junyi Heo ausgedacht. Im Standby wickelt man sich das Handy einfach ums Handgelenk, wo es sich mit Sonnenenergie auflädt. Die Idee ist ziemlich genial, denn das Handy hat man immer dabei, wenn man unterwegs ist – wieso es also nicht auch unter Sonne aufladen? Und das ewige Problem der ausgebeulten Hosentaschen erledigt sich dann auch.
"The Leaf" nennt sich das Handykonzept und orientiert sich hierbei an der Funktionsweise der Photosynthese. Auf der Oberseite sind Solarzellen zum Aufladen angebracht. Doch auch auf der Rückseite befinden sich Zellen, welche durch eine speziell angepasste Basisstation aufgeladen werden können. Somit ist auch an sonnenfreien Tagen das Aufladen an der Steckdose kein Problem.
Bleibt nur abzuwarten, wann die umweltfreundliche Idee Marktreife erhalten wird.

Health Care Reform
Why We Need Health Care Reform, NYtimes>opinion

As a US citizen, a medical doctor currently living in Germany, a country where health care is universally available for its residents at affordable rates, I might have some perspectives on this debate you haven't yet run across.
What I find most astounding about our US health care system is not only how many people don’t have coverage (some 46 million, and going up). But rather, how fragile and precarious health care coverage is for so many people who think they are well insured.
How does our US health care system compare? Let's go through some important points in the universal health care system in Germany, which I'm very familiar with:
Here in Germany you are mandated to have standard comprehensive health insurance:
your employer pays half the monthly family premium, you pay the other half,
•you don't get rejected because of any previous condition,
•you don't pay more or less working for a large or small business,
•you don’t pay more or less if you are male or female, black or white, German or foreign born, gay or straight,
•the rates don't go up if someone in the small (or large) business gets sick,
•health insurance is not a consideration when changing jobs or careers because you take the policy with you,
•you don’t lose your policy if you get sick, if you become unemployed, or even if your employer goes out of business,
•you won’t be billed for “out of network” services in hospitals or elsewhere - these services are part of your coverage, no matter which hospital or team of doctors treats you,
•you don’t have annual, lifetime, disease-related, or disease-recurrence caps,
•you won’t be billed at 20%, 30% or more for expensive medications (“price-tiered” pharmaceuticals), because there is no "tiering", legally approved pharmaceuticals are fully covered when you need them, even if they're very expensive,
•nor will you ever go bankrupt due to unpaid and unaffordable medical bills piling up, - that simply doesn't happen – you enjoy completely comprehensive coverage.
•Also, forget expensive copays ($40/year max. for doctor visits @$10 per quarter, a few dollars per prescription, a minimal meals expense during a hospital stay.
•Forget too the denials, the constant slog of endless 0800 calls (yours and your doctor’s) to your insurance company for requests for coverage or adjustments, wasting huge amounts of people's time, energy, and productive capacity every business day - this doesn't happen in Germany, because this is a comprehensive coverage system (which is an important reason why it's so efficient).
I might add that Germany is a democratic country with a freely elected government; its residents are free people – this is not "Russia". In fact, this is the country with long stretches of Autobahn without speed limits, right? (Here, it’s your responsibility to drive safely, and most do.) People here freely change jobs, careers, and locations without any regard for health insurance, and they are free of the fear of going bankrupt or losing their homes or life’s savings if they were to get seriously ill, because their comprehensive insurance protects them from that!
Germany and its residents are not going broke paying for this, either. On the contrary, this fair, efficiently run health care system costs roughly a third less per person that the US system - that's right, about 1/3 less per capita – despite (or because?) everyone being on board and receiving comprehensive health care.
That figure doesn’t come from rationing, long waits to see a doctor, or long waiting lists to get an operation, either—that doesn’t happen here. What that figure does reflect, however, is just how much waste, duplication, and gouging of consumers must be taking place in the US health care system every day.
My point in describing the German health care system is not to encourage you all to move to Germany, but to prove to you, that for one-third less money than you currently already spend, you should be getting comprehensive, universal health care, like every resident of Germany does (yes, including all immigrants!). But you're not.
May I humbly suggest: advocate, and work with your friends and neighbors for health care reform now, absolutely including a strong public plan, which is the lynchpin for any meaningful reform.
Don't let the lobbyists, their surrogates on TV, or their gun-toting mobs and pre-organized advocates at town hall meetings, scare you, confuse you, or drown out your voices yet again.
It is time to face up to this national challenge as adults, and finally join the peoples of the 17 (seventeen!) other advanced democracies (not "Russia", but, yes indeed, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Australia, Japan, S. Korea and even Taiwan!) around the world, who already enjoy the benefits of universal, comprehensive, and affordable health care.
We absolutely can grab this bull by the horns, and get this job done this year!!!

See you there!
I'm so effing tired right now. I would have crashed an hour ago but felt like I had to blog this and finish up a few other things online.
Went to electro pop rocks last night with some friends. Fun. =D
Will write a backdated entry on it later.
Currently listening to Zero7, album: Simple Things.
Acid-jazz/trip-hop. Very nice, especially when tired and 130+ bpm trance is unthinkable.
I have not listened to any trance in more than the last 24 hours. Wow.

t-mobile skydives
A skydiver almost goes upside-down as he approaches Justin Herman plaza. T-Mobile celebrated the official launch of its new myTouch 3G phone with an aerial event over the San Francisco skyline. On August 5, 100 skydivers parachuted into Justin Herman Plaza as fly-by jets lit up the sky with colored smoke over the Embarcadero, Justin Herman Plaza, Marina Green Park, Pier 39 and Moscone Recreation Center.

anzevino & florence - women's memory fabric dress
what a cute dress. + pleats & pockets!
But a bit pricey and it's already sold out in my size. =[
I got back home on saturday night.
Most likely won't be blogging as much for a little bit.
I need to clean up my home living room, so I can use my laptop on my computer desk instead of actually on my lap or on my chair while sitting on the sofa.
So far, I've put all (or all that I've found so far) of my collection of rave flyers in a shoebox.
Neat.

For example, "hands off my health care" is an absurd slogan that feeds off anti-government sentiment and does not take into account the fact that Medicare is a government program and that the insurance industry has deprived Americans of basic health care rights — i.e., either these people have little health care now, so that there is nothing for the government to take its hands off of; or, to the extent that they do have health care, that care is provided via Medicaid and Medicare, which are government programs. Moreover, if the government really took "hands off" the life of its citizens, these ninnies would not have public schools, police departments, fire departments, roads, Medicare, Social Security, unemployment insurance, a minimum wage, worker's compensation, the armed forces, public sanitation, or the swine flu vaccine (which is being developed and will be distributed by public health facilities). And so on.
I deplore and resent the stupidity that has been tapped by the health care industry to deprive me and my family of the benefits of what is, basically, a very good bill. (And yes, I've read it — and it's not really 1013 pages, because it is set in 14-point type and double-spaced — plus like most bills, much of the provisions are procedural, not substantive.) "Resent," because my professional options have been sharply limited by the fact that my insurance is not portable; I cannot do the public sector work that I would like to do, and for which I am abundantly qualified, because I would have to give up the coverage that my family needs and which is provided by my private sector employer.
The reasons that the health care bill, with the public option, may be defeated are not related to anything that is actually in the bill. those reasons are the unscrupulous, deplorable, immoral greed of the health care industry; the greed and moronic ideology of the members of Congress that take Big Health's money; and the unbelievable ignorance and malleability of an American public that could not reason its way out of a paper bag, let alone make careful decisions about a complicated issue. Re the latter, our educational system is at fault; and not only do other nations have better health care than we do, but those nations also have a more intelligent, educated populace. We will pay for our deficiencies in a 21st Century world.
