When SFist Jackson announced, "Hey, I saw your BFF Dede today", we went scarlet (we don't wear green) with envy. When do we get OUR Dede Wilsey sighting? Taunting our jealousy, Jackson sent us this: In a black raincoat and brown Timberland boots, Dede Wilsey and squire looked bored and even a little uncomfortable while checking out the selection at Tsar Nicoulai Caviar in the Ferry Plaza on Sunday. Note to Dede -- kohl eyes......

nappingatwork-cover.jpg When SFist was a young child, we'd always get sent home from preschool with a note that said, "Did not nap today." Man, we didn't know how good we had it! Nowadays, what can you do if you're fighting off a food coma, or a hangover from the night before? You gotta barricade yourself in your office behind a huge stack of boxes, or feign an "upset stomach" and crash on the couch of the vice-president who's out of the office this week, or, if you're like us, zone out quietly for 2 hours and call it "internet research." Well, hide no more, closet nappers! Monday the 24th is Take Back Your Time Day (to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the 40 hour work week), and to celebrate, the folks who brought you the book "Time Off!: The Unemployed Guide to San Francisco" are holding a nap-in in Justin Herman Plaza at 1 p.m. Now, we're all for taking more time for self in life, but, being cranky (we could probably use a nap) -- isn't this just going to look like kind of a die-in? Also, won't it be too sunny to get a real good siesta going anyways? And would you really want to stretch out for 40 winks in Justin Herman anyways? There's an awful lot of pigeon guano there. Maybe they should just call it a goof-off-in instead (which we are totally for!) ...

When SFist was in junior high we went with some friends to a movie at the Roxie one day after school. We can't remember what the movie was, but we do remember that for some reason one friend had her pet snake with her. She kept the snake in a pillow case under her seat, and wouldn't you know it, when the film was over the pillow case was there, but the snake wasn't.......

When SFist was getting ready to write a blurb about Barry Bonds' press conference, we were all set to write a post about how the press conference would follow every rule of athlete press conferences, especially one's embroiled in controversy. But we forgot one thing, Barry don't play that. Barry was, well, Barry- arrogant and petulant, self-absorbed and douchey, not to mention prone to occasional bouts of perception not usually seen in athletes. You would......

First off, SFist would like to say that while we've been seriously grooving on Indie Fest, we would like to recommend that the people who do the Indie Fest Web site tweak the shopping cart a bit so one can confirm their tickets before finalizing the purchase. While SFist has no problems going to some super divey café in Oakland, that wasn't really what we had planned. Of course, we could have paid more attention......

When SFist was a bookish little girl, with pigtails and coke-bottle glasses, we spent what might have been too much time in our room drawing. Mostly, we drew houses. Houses with dozens of rooms, for every conceivable purpose. Rooms we thought were so fantastical, though now many of them could probably be found in Woodside. We never had a fog machine though. Clearly, we lacked imagination. Of course, we could do this and imagine these......

Obviously this is a time when there are some major needs in the world where you are inclined to send your money. We don't want to overwhelm you with pleas for donations. But SFist Cares will continue on weekly because far away, or close to home, there are hard-working and valuable organizations that need your help. When SFist was a little kid - in our short pants and pigtails - we loved school. All the......

When SFist hears that Beastie Boys song, we automatically think about checking out reserved books from the San Francisco Public Library. We wish there were a song that reminded us of our great local independent bookstores, if you can think of one, tell us about it in the comments! SFist Alex has been reading Lessons In Virtual Tour Photography by Chris Bachelder. Its a wonderful and bizarre e-book from McSweeney's about The Secret of All......
