Lots of #SanFrancisco peoples and unfortunately many, many visitors seem to be concerned with, by the recent theft of Louis Vuitton goods from the luxury brand’s Union Square shop (not to discount the magnitude and lamentable impact of the organized crime behind this and similar thieving operations in the Bay Area of late). Lotsa pearl-clutching […]

I am cultural writer from Lima, Peru. Now publishing from San Francisco. #KingofCups
Y2K didn't happen, but I did move to Florida in the year 2000. Miami was kind of the vibe for me during the '90s, so into the new millennium and the Magic City I went, for college and to find whatever life now could and would be. I graduated from Florida International University, then went to work in its in-house communications/marketing department, as a writer, video producer, and associate editor of "FIU Magazine," the university's flagship alumni publication.
By the time I got to work at FIU I'd already been working with and writing for the weekly "Wire Magazine" on the beach and the periodical "Miami Living" magazine, writing my Movie Martin blog, contributing to the occasional "Awful Truth" by Ted Casablanca once upon a time on E! Online. Later, I starter stringing story for "Us Weekly." That was fun. It was all kinds of a heckuva lot of fun.
King of Cups is my new empirical, memoiristic non-linear independent writing exercise. (Independent: Rhymes with unpaid, as in this is free, so represent and support, OK. Amplify the shit.) I mince no words, I mean no harm, and I come in peace.
Wet, Wet, Wet
Atmospheric rivers are the new Karl the Fog. But with a soupçon of doom. The wind blows so hard as the rain falls on the City by the Bay, a Star Spangled Banner dances down the hill almost flat to the see. The day after tomorrow is here.
To the Moon, To the Moon
BRB, off to watch Halle Berry’s Bruised on Netflix, but first, let’s watch the first five minutes of Halle Berry’s upcoming Moonfall. Already then. This looks like it could be fun up on IMAX. I’m down. Cheers to the movies. Cheers to being able to go to the movies. Moonfall is scheduled to open on […]

Marin Headlands, 11.22.21
Today was a gay fairy tale. Ever ours.
In the Beginning…

And it’s their planet now. Again. Mamoudou Athie joins Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard and the original blockbuster trio Sam […]
Yo, Bay Area: Ama Sua
Ama sua, Bay Area. There is no difference between a man who steals from the Louis Vuittons at Union Square and a man who complains something, a courtesy around a service, is taking too long (Bah humbug much?). Both are wrong and so last century, thieves of things, of time and good will, of energy. […]
The Thing About ‘I Drink Wine’
The thing about Adele’s “I Drink Wine,” a new song in her latest record, 30, is it is the Brunch Song of the 2021-2022s. And I love it. I drink it up Champagne rosé.

The Thing About ‘The Morning Show’
The thing about Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell (with Julianna Margulies as a recurring guest star in Season 2), is it’s a show about control. And because it’s a show about a TV morning show set against first, the #MeToo movement, and then, against the aftermath of […]
