• 2007, as Chrissy from Newport Harbor: the Real OC might say, is "o-v-e, but the 'r' is not there yet." Totes, dude. Totes. [SFoodie, SFBG, CHOW, Gridskipper, Yelp]
• "Subprime" is your word of the year, or so says the Gate. [SF Gate]
• Tiger stuff. (An aside: Big-Cat Expert is perhaps the best job title in the world, ever.) [Examiner, SFBG]

Japantown's new Sundance Cinemas Kabuki will offer the more discerning moviegoer (i.e.. people who self-consciously laugh out loud during Shakespeare comedies) something, well, more. Curbed SF has the full rundown on the new movie house that's sure to make you feel even that more self-righteous than you already do while braving the choppy waters of independent film. Check it:

-- Coit Tower murals. Just loverly. [WhatImSeeing]

-- Today is Yelp Day. How did you celebrate? Yeah, same here. (With all due respect to Yelp, Newsom will declare anything _____ Day these days, won't he?) [Eater SF]

-- Daly v. Newsom on the budget. Good stuff. [The Daly Blog]

-- Girl fight! [KGO]

-- Why, it's our very own SFist Rita kicking it in the comfy confines (and breaking down the latest season of Project Runway) over at SFGate. Awesome. [Culture Blog]

Oh my. This site sounded much more enthralling before we delved further. Still, it's interesting -- ripe with community-building spirit and harmonious stuff like that.

We're trying to ease back into our regular SF Blotter posting schedule -- so we figured we'd start out easy: folks near the Towers building at Second and King had a bit of a scare last night, when at around 11 p.m., a guy started waving a gun around and saying he was going to shoot himself and anyone that came nearby.

-- Built in 1911, the Tower Theater is up for sale. Again. [Curbed SF]

-- Bonds' final, fatal backlash continues. (I wonder how he spent his day today? Ugh.) [SFGate, SF Examiner, FCJ , SFBG, The Snitch]

The swell chaps over at Curbed SF have a poll going on about what to name the district that SFist brought to your attention yesterday. You need to vote, people! Rock it, as a matter of fact. Otherwise, TODO Magazine will get to christen each and every block of this city.

-- Oh dead God: "Hearts in San Francisco" returns. Sweet cuddly baby Jesus, help us all. [Curbed SF]

-- Clean up to take weeks. (But probably longer, we're betting.) [SFGate]

-- Chicken John hosts the Loser's Ball. Which a lot progressives did. Lose, that is. [Politics Blog]

The kids over at Curbed SF have the word on one polling place that's also an open house. Gross. Over in the enchanted Excelsior District, early morning voters have also been getting the hardcore sales pitch for a 6BR polling station that's going for $888,888. Not a bad price, btw, but still. Anyway, check it: "Went to vote this morning at 900 Persia Street in the lovely Excelsior District. Not only is it a...

-- Barry Bonds: your San Francisco diva. [SFGate]

-- 177 Townsend's promise of public art delivered, raised. [Curbed SF]

-- March, rally, die. [Bluoz, SFGate]

-- Bay Area firefighters wait and wait and wait for SoCal assignments. [SFGate]

-- Ross Mirkarimi, sole supe against Clear Channel. [SFBG]

The good folks over the Curbed SF have -- at last! -- posted on the conservative genius (an oxymoron, we know) that is Twin Peaks Properties in Noe Valley on 24th Street. (Apparently, a reader had never witnessed the monument to Noe Valley conservatism. The poor lamb.)

-- Explanation for last night's brief Bay Bridge light outage. [Oakland Tribune]

-- Rain! Nourishing, cozy, baptismal, layer-building, annoying, cold, revitalizing rain! [Weather Underground]

-- Behold! The Infinity apartment! [Curbed SF]

-- Have you seen this man? (Also, we think that we have that same shirt in our closet. Yipes!) [Chron]

-- Some very sad news: former SFist editor, writer, and gem of an all-around guy, Jeremy Nisen, switched addresses for now. Aw. But never fear, you can still catch his brilliance over at Curbed. Yay! [Curbed SF]

The Tenderloin Housing Clinic's properties may be among the worst places in the city to live -- but hey, at least it's cheap! Jeff, the proprietor of the Bluoz blog, recently posted a slew of eviction notices, going back several years; and man, it ain't pretty. Knives, fistfights, spitting, floods and fires, a cleaver, an abandoned dog, ripped-up smoke alarms, garbage-hoarders, broken limbs, choking with a telephone cable, stabbings, and (most shockingly) hateful comments all make an appearance. In other words, it makes for a read. Curbed SF calls it "Jerry Springer" meets "The Wire."

Because sluts and date-rapists (we kid!) like iPhones and PowerBooks just as much as dorks, Apple is racing to open up its third SF store, this time in the Marina district on Chestnut Street. Ta-da.

-- So it has come to this: Barry Manilow, Brian Boitano, AT&T Park, and ice. [Examiner]
