Overdose on Nudity

The (in)famous Folsom Street Fair came and went for a week already. Once again, this year was on a very warm sunny day, which is a huge encouragement for the fair goers to expose more skin. Well, they planned to do just that regardless warm or cold anyway. I decided not to automatically play the slide show of these pictures because I am afraid the genitals might get my blog marked as X-rated. I am not trying to censor anything (otherwise, I would not have provided the link). I just don’t want any extra hassle to click on "age verification," which is a joke, as if kids don’t know how to click. However, the fair does seem getting repetitive, and I feel like that nothing can shock me any more. I might just as well skip next year—I have been overdosed with bare asses (and uncovered penises) already. Even today, when the annual San Francisco LovEvolution (aka Love Parade) took place on Market Street, I saw more naked people! http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf It has a lasting effect on me. Tonight, when I was at Smuin Ballet‘s performance at Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, the second section is "Medea" when male dancers wear nothing more than a G-string. The full round butts immediately remind me Folsom Street Fair. That was not supposed to be. The performance was pretty good, despite the fact that Kevin left Smuin Ballet. I wish I had seen him dancing "Medea" in a G-string. Actually, dance anything would be fine with me if he wears that. It was very very windy on this full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival, but the sky was clear and I could see a full moon in the sky. I miss my family. It was too windy to take a picture of the moon without a tripod, so I took a picture of the Palace of Fine Art instead, around sunset. On Wednesday night, I went to the California Academy of Science for Mayor’s "Filipino American History Month" kickoff celebration. I know, I am not a Filipino, but that doesn’t mean I cannot join a party and see those fish inside. Indeed, I saw the ugliest fish. There are so much celebrations going around these days. October 1st is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China . I watched the spectacular parade at Tiananmen Square, although I am still puzzled why they design a human rainbow in the parade, which is really nice. I cooked a few dishes to celebrate. It’s my first time to make two of them. I was taking the bus thinking what’s for dinner. Those dishes just came to my mind and I created these dishes from nowhere. Of course, no recipes. One is the pickled cucumber salad with ginger and seaweed. It turns out crispy and colorful. Of course, healthy too. I have to make it more often. The other one is pan fried miso tofu. After marinated the tofu in miso paste, I use very little oil to pan fried them. Delicious. I have to cook this more often as well. So here is my celebration of the "Red October." I am so hungry now, but it’s too late to eat. I am looking forward a new week beginning with Sunday’s Castro Street Fair, if Rommel’s flight won’t get delayed.
