A note from Sandy Chan
This bizarre and potentially disturbing stream-of-consciousness to do list was found near Piedmont Avenue in Oakland:
Much of it is hard to construe, but here is my best attempt at a transcript:

Ok...I pretty much lost it when I read "my sexuality is crying." I've gotta stop coming here while I'm at work....

Posted by: Hilary RAWK! at March 21, 2006 03:03 PMPersonally, I like reading down the crazed ramblings only to find the quaint bear cub sniffing a flower while a butterfly flutters around its head. Reminds me of the scene in Werner Herzog's MY BEST FIEND in which oft-angry Klaus Kinski smiles at the screen as a butterfly lands on him, gracefully juxtaposing insanity and beauty in much the same way as this note.

I've started using it as my signature for work-related e-mail:
"Let me know if you need anything else.
My sexuality is crying,
Mike Mc"
I think it is actually "file drabby self" - but I might just be projecting.
Also, 10x undead makes MY sexuality cry.
