Day Around the Bay
-- San Mateo Bridge shuts down, then opens. Ta-da. [Examiner]
-- Dan Noyes on Jerry Lucas, the sanity-estranged man who followed a then-pregnant Jill Rabinowitz into her garage, severely beating her with a can of paint. He might soon get sprung from the funny farm. [ABC7]
-- Streets such as "Van Ness Avenue, Broadway...Harrison Street" and more could turn into toll roads under a proposed city plan to ease traffic congestion. [Chron]
-- Viggo Mortensen shows off his penis during a nude fight scene (albeit a tasteful one, of course) in David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises. [SJ Merc]
-- Newsom and cults. (Of love, that is. No, not really. Something about a questionable yoga and holistic health sect called Dahn.) [The Snitch]
-- Damien Hirst's "For the Love of God": a pretty, pretty diamond-studded skull! [SFBG]
-- Save-the-date info on another Transbay Terminal meeting at City Hall. Eee! [Curbed SF]
-- TWoP underwent a most radical transformation, visually. [TWoP]

Mortensen's fight scene in "Eastern Promises" was NOT tasteful. Since when are jingle-jangling balls tasteful? I could've enjoyed that scene a lot more had Mr. THANG covered it up with at least a speedo. It was gross, SFist. Don't lie to gullible readers like that, please. Shame shame shame.
