Huge chunks of the city don’t have sidewalks, and the streets are a maze of confusing one-ways. Our streets would be safer with good sidewalks, crosswalks, bus stops and bike lanes. Right now, those disappear when you leave downtown. @TRACEYSIMMONA VIA TWITTER

I’d never had the time to really read your newspaper before, but tonight I sat down at a restaurant and read it while waiting for our takeout. I thought it was interesting, it had a bit of class to it and appealed to an educated audience.

I was enjoying it until I got to the porn ads. I was so shocked and disgusted, but mostly shocked that you had to stoop so low for advertising revenue.

Not only that, but there’s no way parents would know that your newspaper contained such lowlife porn ads. Wow! My first and last time picking up your magazine. I’m sending out a notice on our NextDoor website warning thousands of parents as well. Nice job keeping porn alive and well. You must be a prince of a guy.

RE: QUEST TO MAKE SAN JOSE STREETS SAFER CRASHES INTO WORSENING PEDESTRIAN, CYCLIST INJURY STATS, COVER, NOV. 13 Vey nice article! The fact is that socialengineering people out of cars will not work, and it puts riders’ lives in a tragic trajectory to be victims. It is easy for people at a city hall desk to preach from theory, but the reality out there is quite different. I’ve been clipped riding on country roads by brush. I gave up road riding. If people swear at riders when just politely being reminded about lane rules, there’s an attitude you can fight or win over out there.

SVNEWS

Eleven months have passed since SB 1421 became law. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to publicly disclose records of internal investigations into police shootings, severe physical force and proven cases of dishonesty or sexual assault by on-duty cops. While other major cities have complied with such review requests, San Jose Police Department has yet to come clean.

Now, a group representing families that lost loved ones in officer-involved shootings has called the agency out. In a Nov. 6 letter cc’ed to Gov. GAVIN NEWSOM, Silicon Valley De-Bug activists LAURIE VALDEZ, KIMBERLY PHILLIPS and JIM SHOWMAN, among others, have demanded answers.

“Every month, families have gotten emails from the San Jose police records unit indicating They that they need more Did time,” it reads. “These What? emails are usually two lines: ‘The department SEND TIPS TO FLY@ will require additional METRONEWS. time to process your COM request. An update will be provided by (insert date here).’”

The letter called the emails “canned and heartless” and an example of how families impacted by police-involved deaths are treated with “no compassion.”The letter criticizes SJPD’s point person in the records unit, MONIQUE VILLAREAL, for sending updates that are “unprofessional” and “insensitive to families” and asks that the agency assign someone new to the position.

SV-Debug also demanded that the city comply with the organization’s outstanding records requests by the first week of next month and that it provide an update about what efforts have been made to comply with SB 1421. “The city of San Jose and the San Jose Police Department have spoken publicly about building trust within the community, and we are one of the last cities to comply with SB 1421,” De-Bug wrote. “Further delays do not add to building trust.”

SJPD PIOs Sgt. ENRIQUE GARCIA and Officer GINA TEPOORTEN did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

SNAP OUT OF IT College students, senior citizens already miss out on food stamps—and now the Trump administration wants to make it harder to qualify for the nutritional benefits.

Food for Thought SNAP eligibility overhaul could leave thousands of local students hungry

BY JULIA BAUM

W

ITH A FULL class load on her shoulders, Carlina—a 35-year-old full-time San Jose State student who asked to withhold her last name—needs a parttime job with enough hours to qualify for food stamps but enough time to spare to focus on her studies.

It’s a juggling act that will only become harder if the Trump administration imposes stricter work requirements for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, food stamps or—in California—CalFresh.

Earlier this month marked the end of a public comment period for what would be the third rule change for SNAP, a proposal that stands to cut the nutrition benefits for at least a few million people.

eligible for nutritional help. According to the California Department of Social Services, about 1.6 million people—or about 28 percent of those who qualify for CalFresh—don’t receive it.

With their meager or fixed incomes, college students, Carlina among them, and senior citizens are the most likely to miss out on the benefits.

Balancing Act The Trump administration's logic for the policy change? To incentivize self-reliance by closing a loophole that gives states flexibility to waive certain asset and income caps for people who receive both SNAP and other welfare benefits. Most states, including California, exercise such waivers to streamline safety-net services that may have disparate eligibility requirements.

US Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue called the planned rule revision a no-brainer. “Long-term reliance on government assistance has never been part of the American dream,” he declared in a prepared statement earlier this year.

Critics of the move, however, say that far from making people more independent, the safety-net decree would leave millions more people hungry and desperate in a state that already struggles to enroll everyone who’s

Things were looking up for Carlina when she moved to San Jose a few years ago to re-enroll in college.

Though she didn’t make much from her non-profit work, she had food stamps to get her from paycheck to paltry paycheck. But a chain of events that began in the fall of 2018 upended Carlina’s tenuous footing.

Just weeks after moving into a new spot, she lost her part-time non-profit gig, which put her food stamps in jeopardy. She had barely finished applying for unemployment benefits when a car crash changed her fortunes for the worse yet again. The head-on collision left her with a concussion and several other injuries, including a broken left foot and damage to her right hip socket and right knee. For months to follow, Carlina was unable to walk and had to undergo physical therapy.

The series of unfortunate events unfolded right around the time the federal government began plotting its overhaul of SNAP assistance. Under a rule change proposed last year and still pending final approval, able-bodied and childless SNAP recipients such as Carlina would need to work at least 20 hours a week to maintain the benefits.

Even without the new federal standards, staying enrolled in SNAP proved challenging, requiring a significant amount of time and meticulous record-keeping. “I had three different caseworkers in a year, year-anda-half, so I had to keep reintroducing myself and resending proof that I was enrolled in school full time, and that I was working,” Carlina says.

Then there’s the uncertainty about how much she’d get each month, depending on whether she switched jobs or made more or less than in previous pay cycles. “Which is really hard,” she says. “It’s sort of keeping you in the same place, so it’s really hard to get out of that hole when you have to be in the hole to get help to begin with.”

Thankfully, Carlina says she had SJSU’s Spartan Food Pantry to fall back on when her public benefits lapsed or fell short of covering all her meals. “I was in a gap,” she says, “where there was no other help for me.”

Bridging the Gap State data shows that just 5 percent of California State University students in 2016 obtained food stamps even though five times as many were eligible and 35 percent reported going hungry. Meanwhile, just 19 percent of California’s senior citizens received nutritional assistance compared to 42 percent nationwide. And for immigrants who fall into those two categories, the barriers are even greater.

California’s low SNAP enrollment makes it somewhat of an outlier among Western states. Oregon and Washington, for example, have enrolled nearly every eligible person for SNAP, according to federal data from 2016.

In Silicon Valley, where the staggering cost of living eats up inordinate shares of people’s incomes, the need has only intensified in recent years, according to Tracy Weatherby, vice president of strategy and advocacy for Second Harvest Food Bank. “Even

though the economy has gotten better, the number of people reaching out to help us has stayed about the same or gone up,” she says.

On a local level, at least, Santa Clara County’s elected supervisors are trying to bridge the food stamp enrollment gap and overcome barriers that prevent people from getting the help to which they’re entitled. Supervisor Dave Cortese says the county has been “monitoring or responding to several cuts or threats to safety net services and public health services across the board” from the federal government, including to food stamps. The cutbacks, he says, stem from a broader push by conservative lawmakers to gut the social safety net.

“There are members of the US Senate who don’t believe in public education,” he says, “let alone a public safety net.”

With more than $1.7 billion in federal aid at risk—about $1 billion of that is for health and human services—Cortese says the county is “reserving as much as we can in our contingent reserves to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”

“What the county’s been doing is trying to make sure we stand to backfill those areas as much as possible,” he says.

However, he adds, “We’d never be able to backfill all of it.”

One segment of the population that’s particularly vulnerable to hunger are community college students, some of whom lack access to a campus food pantry like the one at SJSU. Cortese says he’s also been pushing for a universal basic income pilot that would dispense cash payments to 18- to 21-year-olds phasing out of foster care to “use as needed, whether it’s food anxiety or augmenting your rent or a little bit of each,” he explains.

The program for transitional-age former foster youth targets just a tiny subset of county residents but has the advantage of bypassing federal poverty levels, work requirements and other administrative hurdles that prevent people from accessing CalFresh.

“The goal is to try to create assistance that does not have strings attached,” Cortese says, “and that’s not so prescriptive and difficult to use.”

An inside look at San Jose politics

WEB: SanJoseInside.com TWITTER: @sanjoseinside FACEBOOK: SanJoseInside

RED-TAGGED In a new lawsuit, ex-jail captain Amy Le says the Sheriff’s Office used a

gazebo project she oversaw as a pretext for her dismissal.

Fired Former Jail Captain Files Discrimination Suit

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH A Santa Clara County jail captain unceremoniously frog-walked off the job amid claims that she lied to a superior is suing her former employer for racism, ageism and gender discrimination.

In a lawsuit filed Nov. 13 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Amy Le says the Sheriff ’s Office effectively forced her to resign in retaliation for alerting higher-ups about a female lieutenant’s sexual harassment complaint against a high-ranking officer. Le, a 30-year agency veteran, asks for “no less than” $5 million to make up for lost wages and benefits and emotional distress.

A sheriff ’s spokesman referred a request for comment to the County Counsel Office, which didn’t return a query by press time.

Le made the news in early June when she was tearfully escorted out of Elmwood Correctional Facility.

The exit came as a shock to Le, who tirelessly campaigned for Sheriff Laurie Smith’s election to a sixth term and was promoted to captain a month after the 2018 general election.

Sheriff ’s officials explained Le’s ouster as having something to do with her lying about how she raised money for an inmate-built gazebo, barbecue and Zen garden rest area.

Le denied having misled anyone and opted to take an early retirement just so she could tell her side of the story.

She went to the press a few months ago to defend her reputation, but the lawsuit obtained this week by San Jose Inside offers some previously undisclosed details about Assistant Sheriff Eric Taylor.

In her lawsuit, Le says her problems with Taylor began right after her promotion when he canceled a vacation she had planned months earlier. Le says

her supervisor generally “acted in a hostile manner” toward her based on her age, nationality and gender and that he told her peers that she was “unethical” and tried to undermine her authority. On Feb. 24, Le says she told Undersheriff Rick Sung and Capt. Michael Doty that she’d like to file a complaint against Taylor for setting her up to fail.

“From the first day I was promoted, A.S. Taylor treated me differently, belittled me and held me to standards that he did not require of other captains,” Le’s lawsuit states.

Le says Sung talked her out of it.

A few months went by before the gazebo incident made headlines.

According to Le, she wanted to build the gazebo to “express her gratitude for the many opportunities made available to her throughout the years at the Sheriff ’s Office.” She envisioned a “peaceful and relaxing”

break area for officers and staff and thought the project would give female inmates a chance to learn new skills.

To that end, she oversaw the construction of the “Elmwood Gratitude Garden,” a 23-by-12-foot alcove with a grill, an arbor and benches. Money for the project came from donations from Le’s husband, the Santa Clara County Correctional Peace Officers’ Association—for which she served as president before her promotion—and from her own pocket.

Construction wrapped up in time to celebrate National Correctional Officers Week, says Le, who planned to invite Assemblyman Evan Low and Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez to the site on May 6 to recognize jail staff for their work. Smith, Sung and Taylor put the kibosh on the ribbon-cutting, however. On May 17, they had Capt.

Timothy Davis red tag the garden.

“Notably,” per Le’s lawsuit, “Davis had previously built arbors at the Elmwood Correctional Facility that were similar to the Elmwood Gratitude Garden, and there had been no issue with them.”

On May 28, Le says she reported to Doty the sexual harassment claim made by a female lieutenant against Taylor. Two days later, Doty reportedly told Le to have the complainant meet with him directly. And a day after that, Le was hand-delivered a letter informing her that she was being placed on administrative leave for making “false statements to a superior officer when questioned about soliciting donations” for the gazebo project from “county employees and outside agency contractors.”

“Le was escorted out of the workplace while crying about the false allegations made by the county against her to sully her previously immaculate reputation,” the lawsuit reads.

Internal Affairs ordered her to meet on June 12 for an investigative meeting. When Le’s request for more time was denied, the lawsuit says she “involuntarily resigned” to avoid going through a process that “she firmly expected would result in the county terminating her employment based on the false allegations leveled against her.”

READY TO ROLL These young skateboarders are among the subjects Jai Tanju shot for his new photo show at The Arsenal.

See Here Photographer gets inspired by graffiti, new baby for ‘Poof I’m Gone’

BY GARY SINGH

L

AST WEEK, THE illustrious international crossroads of Fifth and Jackson in Japantown played host to a new photo show by Jai Tanju at The Arsenal.

Titled Poof I’m Gone, a phrase inspired by graffiti Tanju found in defunct railyards behind the San Jose MarketCenter, the exhibit also

celebrates the cyclical nature of death, life and rebirth, and their effects on the photographer and the gallery observer/ participant. To accompany the exhibit, a Poof I’m Gone book is also available.

What sets Poof I’m Gone apart from Tanju’s previous work are the personal beginnings and endings that characterized his life in the process.

He shot all the photos from Aug. 28, 2018 to Aug. 28, 2019—from the

day his daughter Bibi was born until exactly one year later. Just before the birth of his daughter, though, Tanju’s dog Frida passed away at age 15, and then his gallery space, Seeing Things Gallery, came to an end after several years on San Carlos Street.

“There wasn’t much time to mourn for either with the birth of Bibi,” Tanju said.

However, with a new child sometimes in tow as he traversed the landscapes of San Jose, Tanju could no longer operate as an impromptu street photographer with the freedom to simply jump around and capture images on a moment’s notice.

As a result, his daughter brought an additional perspective to the imagery, regardless of whether or not anyone can see the difference in the final photographs, all of which exemplify what Tanju has become known for: the gritty underbelly of San Jose

and the everyday people one finds between the cracks of society. We see skateboarders, homeless people, graffiti, cheap supermarkets, discarded toys and odd building facades, but with a new spirit of rebirth.

“Looking at the book from the beginning you can see there is a definite feeling of life, joy, death and the future, our city, too,” Tanju said.

“Holding on very tightly but letting go at the same time. And as the book goes on, it loosens up as I feel the reins loosen up a bit, so I can be more creative. It ends with Bibi’s birthday and the fact that we made it through alive, even if we are totally worn out both mentally and physically.”

At the opening reception, families, kids and pets all congregated to enjoy the photos and browse goods at The Arsenal, a gallery and art supply shop.

In the front area, one finds exhibit space plus an ample retail operation with sketchbooks, brushes, pens, pencils and paint sets, plus affordable crochet works, painted wine bottles and various crafted pieces. A folding Japanese shoji screen separates the front area from the back room where the classes are held amid a milieu of lockers, easels, spray paint, hanging artwork, piles of paper and a chalkboard listing available classes.

The Arsenal used to be located on The Alameda before it moved to Japantown, where the business is now set to grow even more.

“It definitely felt right doing the show at The Arsenal because we always felt akin to them and had each others back when we were doing Seeing Things,” Tanju said. “I love the fact that they have done so much, are thriving and are expanding.”

Tanju’s former space, Seeing Things Gallery, had a long history of triggering zonked Jungian selfanalysis within the newspaper columnist’s own predicament. In 2012, back when the space was located on Third Street, right next to the now similarly defunct San Jose Rock Shop instrument retail space, Tanju staged a show of oldschool punk rock photography that psychologically fused with the easy listening songbooks I found next door, inspiring me to harmonize those two conflicted halves of myself—the punk half and the easy listening half. So that’s what I wrote.

The ancient alchemists would have been proud.

Experience

Perfect for Silicon Valley newbies and natives, a new book chronicles the region’s sites, sounds and tastes BY WALLACE BAINE

E

NTER THE WORDS “Silicon Valley” into Google Maps and what comes up is a zoomedout image of the entire thumb of the San Francisco Peninsula, San Jose and points south, and a gigantic swath of the East Bay reaching all the way to Tracy. That’s because Silicon Valley is much more a cultural, economic and technological term than it is a geographical one. Its boundaries are different depending on who you ask.

As if to remind the world that Silicon Valley is indeed a place IRL, here comes a new guide book: 111 Places in Silicon Valley That You Must Not Miss (Emons).

15 NOVEMBER 20-26, 2019 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

Why 111? Well, it’s not an arbitrary number. It’s more like a brand. This new book is the latest edition in a series of guidebooks that have covered cities and regions around the world— from Milwaukee to New Delhi. In fact, the new book’s author, Floriana Peterson is also the author of the 111 Places book about San Francisco.

As if finding 111 places on the Peninsula and in the South Bay worth visiting was too daunting a task, Peterson takes the widest possible angle on what constitutes Silicon Valley, even more so than Google Maps. Among the crisply written one-page narratives in the book are selections from Hollister (Johnny’s Bar & Grill), Felton (Bigfoot Museum), Pescadero (Duarte’s) and, absurdly, Big Sur (Esalen). Even not considering those obvious outliers, the book’s view

of Silicon Valley stretches all the way up the Peninsula to Burlingame and to the east as far as the Niles district of Fremont. Still, the main focus of the book is on San Jose, Palo Alto and sites in between.

“I found out that many people who live in Palo Alto and San Jose don’t really know those places very well,” says Peterson, who lives in San Francisco.

“It’s not like San Francisco where everything is close together and easy to find.

For this one, it took a lot of research.”

Despite the image of a silicon chip on the book’s cover, 111 Places underscores how touristindifferent the famous parts of Silicon Valley can be. Unlike, say, Hollywood

which has traditionally welcomed tourists with studio tours and stars on the sidewalk, Silicon Valley gives the curious outsider very little.

Apple, for instance, has a visitor center. But the company’s giant circular spaceship in Cupertino is not accessible to the general public. There is really no public component of the headquarters of Google and Facebook (though Facebook’s giant thumbsup sign consistently attracts visitors). Of the area’s tech titans, Intel is the only one that stands out as a beacon for visitors with its small (but free) museum in Santa Clara.

As a result, there’s a lot in 111 Places for the reader interested

in things other than tech. There are obligatory entries for familiar landmarks such as the Father Serra statue on I-280, the Stanford Theatre and the Winchester Mystery House. And there are nods to beloved local institutions that outsiders might not know about, including San Jose’s one-of-a-kind Falafel’s Drive-In and the Woodside watering hole Alice’s Restaurant.

Oddly, there are entries for things long gone—the Palo Alto music store where Jerry Garcia first formed the Grateful Dead, which is now a Peet’s Coffee—and things yet to be— Google’s Transit Village in San Jose.

Still, there are revelations to be found both for the local and the visitor. Those in Menlo Park frustrated by Facebook’s

nothing-burger road sign can go to nearby Bedwell Bayfront Park for a surreal but serene encounter with the immense bayside Salt Ponds. For a more poignant and wistful experience, there’s the Alta Mesa Memorial Park, near Gunn High School in Palo Alto, the heartbreakingly beautiful acreage wherein lies the mortal remains of Shirley Temple Black, the Dead’s “Pigpen” McKernan, Y.A. Tittle and Steve Jobs (the latter in an unmarked grave, for perfectly understandable reasons).

Naturally, Stanford University looms large in any visitor’s guide to Silicon Valley. But 111 Places suggests a fun and off beat way to experience Stanford and its long cultural shadow. The Dutch Goose is a classic old campus hangout which, as it turns out, is far from campus, thanks to Stanford’s 1960s-era alcohol ban.

The Goose, in neighboring Menlo Park, has made an interior-design style (some might even say a fetish) out of the destructive habit of carving one’s name in a tabletop. As a result, the entire interior of the place—walls, floors, and tables—is made from table surfaces carved with the names of long-gone (and not so long-gone) Stanford alums.

If you want to evoke the ghosts of Stanford, why not do so over beers and the house-specialty deviled eggs with a game on?

Maybe the best way to begin (or end) a tour inspired by 111 Places is to visit the oldest attraction in the book, which happens to be a tree. El Palo Alto is the 110-foot-tall redwood believed to be more than 1,000 years old, which gave the adjoining town its name and the nearby university its mascot and soul. The tree has been diminished by the years—legend maintains that in its original size, it could be seen from San Francisco. But if you stand by it now, you’ll notice a thin PVC pipe ascending the trunk into the heavens. The pipe sends life-sustaining moisture to the top of the tree, a fitting symbol of Silicon Valley, where faith remains strong that the best form of reverence is a technological fix.

Local W

HILE MANY OF the destinations outlined in 111 Places in Silicon Valley You Must Not Miss would be difficult to gift (for anyone other than Carmen Sandiego), they offer plenty of food for thought. Here are just a few ideas inspired by the book.

ANDY’S ORCHARD 1615 Half Road, Morgan Hill andysorchard.com

Anyone older than Steve Wozniak’s original Apple-1 is vulnerable to nostalgia about the era when Silicon Valley was known by a different name: The Valley of Heart’s Delight. Local oldtimers who get misty talking about figs and apricots might enjoy a trip to Andy’s Orchard in Morgan Hill, a throwback to the age when ag, not tech, dominated the valley. Andy’s has tons of dried fruit—the stone fruit are all grown on the premises. And if a trip to Morgan Hill is not workable, check out California Apricots: The Lost Orchards of Silicon Valley by former KRON-TV reporter Robin Chapman, a deep history of the Valley of Heart’s Delight, dating back to the days of the Spanish padres. For something a bit kitchen-friendly, there’s also Lisa Price Newman’s beautiful cookbook For the Love of Apricots: Recipes & Memories of the Santa Clara Valley.

BIRDING ON BAIR audubon.org

Bird-watching is trending these days because first, searching for a bar-tailed godwit sounds a lot more fun than just going for a hike, and second, climate change has given a lot of people a mission—albeit a melancholy

Treasures

GROWTH INDUSTRY Before microchips and the internet of things, Silicon Valley had a different major export—stone fruit. one—to witness the wonders of nature before it’s too late. In Silicon Valley, Bair Island—near Redwood City about halfway between the San Mateo and Dunbarton bridges—is an ideal place to go for anyone wanting to distinguish a plover from a cormorant. Just south of Bair Island is another sweet spot, Bedwell Bayfront Park, which boasts more than 200 species of birds. Don’t go, however, without the indispensable tool of all birders: a good pair of field glasses.

Top-of-the-line binocs can cost well north of $2,000, but there are plenty of good options under $500. Cheap binoculars are only going to lead to frustration. The best work in low light, with fast focusing, and with or without eyeglasses. To get started on learning how to buy binoculars, check out the Audubon Society’s website.

EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP A great starting point for holiday

shopping is museum gift shops, and Silicon Valley has a lot to choose from in that category. First and foremost is Mountain View’s supercool Computer History Museum for anyone looking for robot hand puppets or plush-toy emojis (aren’t we all?). The underrated Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara has a lot of one-of-a-kind finds in its gift shop. A great way to connect with local artists is through the gift shop at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles in the SoFA neighborhood downtown. For the ambitious, there’s always the gift shop at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton to find that special thing for the person whose head in always in the stars.

And, for something a little off beat, check out the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum in Fremont, whose store has DVDs of locally filmed silent movies that allow us moderns to peer back in time to see what the Bay Area looked like a hundred years ago.

WASTE NOT The Source Zero, a pop-up shop in a strip of micro-retail spots

by San Pedro Square, sells re-usable containers, bulk cleaning supplies and toiletries and books to guide you toward a zero-waste lifestyle.

Gifting, IRL This holiday season, be present while shopping for presents

H

ERE, IN THE tech world’s epicenter, it’s tempting to shop for the holidays the way we do most everything these days, with our laptops and smartphones.

Spending money in cyberspace carries a social toll, however.

Local producers and stores— the very establishments that give communities character and uniqueness and sponsor numerous local activities— have been declining in the face of changing consumer habits and asymmetrical competition.

Many of the coolest gifts can be found on display at local venues and buying locally lets your giftees know you went the distance to actually go out and buy them something. It’s a personal statement and an economic contribution to the local economy. Why not make a difference and support the hard-working people around you?

The social experience of getting out into the decorated, lit up shops and streets is part of the holiday experience, and can’t be recreated by tapping on a screen or keyboard.

Enjoy the serendipitous conversations and discoveries. Explore the valley’s downtowns and boulevards.

GIFT OF GREEN THE SOURCE ZERO

60 N San Pedro St, San Jose thesourcezero.com

Achieving zero waste is all about shrinking your carbon footprint by limiting the garbage you produce and even curbing the number of recyclables that end up in the bin.

While it may seem counterintuitive to buy your zero-waste-striving loved ones even more products, there are plenty of reusable essentials that make it easier for them to achieve their sustainability goals.

To that end, The Source Zero’s got you covered.

Founded by Ashley Merz and based out of the MOMENT micro-retail strip across from San Jose’s San Pedro Square, the zero-waste boutique offers all kinds of sustainable items, from cotton produce totes and ecofriendly paper doggy poop-scoop bags to reusable glass containers and the soaps, lotions and deodorants with which to refill them.

Stainless steel straws go for anywhere from $3 to $10 and come in a rainbow of colors, including silver, copper, purple and an iridescent green. Wax-cloth food wraps—reusable standins for single-use plastic and foil—feature all kinds of adorable patterns and sell for $10 to $20 for sets of three.

There’s a vast array of toiletries that sell by the ounce: almond and aloe facial moisturizer by Copper Moon Apothecary, rose-geraniumwitch hazel toner by Verdant and lavender soap by Dunnock and Hinny, to name just a few. There

are also reusable “unpaper” cloths by Juniper Seed Mercantile, felt dryer balls, sticks of laundry detergent and bamboo toothbrushes. What’s not sold in bulk comes in paper packaging, such as Primal Well’s CDB roll-on pain-relief oil ($25 a vial) or lip balm ($7-$10).

Of course, no zero-waste starter kit gift basket would be complete without a copy of Sustainable Home: Practical Projects, Tips and Advice for Maintaining an Eco-Friendly Household by Bay Area author Christine Liu, which goes for $22.50 at The Source Zero.

The Wooden Horse has been around since 1971, and its staff are trained in the different phases of child development to assist customers in finding the perfect gift from tot to tween. The store offers a wide variety of playthings, such as Shrinky Dinks, wooden train tracks, jumbo coloring books and physics lab kits.

Consider treating your favorite, burnt-out young professional to an ax-throwing session. While Silicon Valley denizens may have gotten a taste for the new trend at the Winchester Mystery House this past Halloween—or at the NorCal Ren Faire at Casa de Fruita—there are currently no South Bay locations specializing in this most lumberjackish of pastimes. Fortunately, Bad Axe Throwing in Daly City and AxeVentures of Berkeley aren’t too far a drive.

LET’S NOT MINCE words. Thanksgiving is, above all else, the year’s biggest potluck dinner. And in the runup to the final Thursday of November, those who have yet to dial in their own signature dish may feel a certain amount of anxiety. Sure, a nice bottle or pie from the market may be enough to satisfy the host. But for those lacking in culinary craft who still aim to impress, it is essential to bring a story to the table as well.

Fortunately, the burgeoning Santa Clara Valley wine scene makes for a great topic of conversation. From sparkling whites and pinot noirs to grenache, sangiovese and beyond, the region is home to myriad choices for the discerning palate.

Read on to learn what some of the south county’s best winemakers plan to serve at their Thanksgiving table.

Begin with zingy-fresh 2018 Jason-Stephens “Pixelated” Rosé of Sangiovese and Alara Cellars sparkling, followed by Alara 2017 Barbera and Jason-Stephens 2013 Carmenere.

Carolyn Aver from Aver Family will serve cream of chardonnay and gruyere soup, plus a fall panzanella salad with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts in brown butter dressing, with 2016 “Reverence” Chardonnay. Turkey with mushroom stuffing and mushroom gravy will complement the earthiness of 2016 “Hope” Rhone Blend, and triple berry pie will shine with 2016 Family Album Petite Sirah (91 points, Wine Enthusiast).

Nik Zorn at Guglielmo recommends 2015 Guglielmo Private Reserve Monterey pinot noir and 2018 Estate Guglielmo Private Reserve Grignolino rosé.

Dan and Thérèse Martin will be serving 2016 viognier, 2015 carignane, 2016 mourvèdre from Thérèse Vineyards, plus J.D. Hurley 2016 pinot noir.

Vic Vanni of Solis recommends 2018 Solis Vino Roseo di Sangiovese and 2016 Estate grenache.

Geoff Mace of Calerrain will serve his smooth and refined 2017 malbec with roast turkey slathered in butter and herbs.

Satori goes big with 2015 merlot alongside squash soup, 2015 cabernet with turkey and fixings and 2015 petite sirah with chocolate pecan pie.

Kim and Todd Englehardt of Lion Ranch are pouring 2017 Cuvée Blanc, 2018 Lioness Rosé (both 91 points, WE), along with their newly released Rhone red, 2017 Four Lions. —Laura Ness & Nick Veronin

SOMETHING FISHY Unfortunately, the grilled octopus didn’t live up to the fantastic publicity shots at Telefèric Barcelona.

¡Ay, Caramba!

Telefèric Barcelona misses most marks while seeking California cool

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

T

HE SPIRIT OF Spanish cuisine wasn’t in the kitchen at the recently opened Palo Alto address of Telefèric Barcelona. It must have gotten stuck circling for a space in the absurdly overcrowded Town & Country Village parking lot. According to the menu, Telefèric “specializes in authentic Spanish bites, dishes and cocktails.” But the food only condescended to that particular set of promised flavors. The tapas we tried were as neutered and generic as the interior decor.

I could see and smell the liberal use of olive oil in every dish. That was the one box I could check off my list of “achievements in authenticity.” But the cooks are heavy-handed with it. It coats the plates as uneasily as it does the lining of the stomach. My first sighting of it was as tiny puddles forming across an unappetizing tray of pintxos ($3 each) that a server offered up. We weren’t tempted by any of these small snacks. They all looked wilted and too worn out to be wandering about in the afternoon sunlight.

Four Iberian ham croquetas ($8) showed up first at our table. Each one was perfectly formed and golden, the size of a golf ball. When I cut into mine, the coating gave way to a

mixture of anonymous gray meats, ground together. Oozing cheese is the dominant texture, and it turns the outside crust to mush. I won’t use an unfortunate analogy to describe the taste of the meat, but it was bad enough that I sent it back to the kitchen. It needed acid, fresh herbs and spices to compete with, if not to entirely defeat, the saltiness—the only flavor that registered.

My friend was more pleased with the grilled octopus ($17) than I was, but that’s because I’ve always struggled with the sight of a lone tentacle, severed from its owner, floating on a plate. The last time I enjoyed the dish was at Palo Alto’s Taverna. They prepared it in such a way that I forgot I was gnawing on a sea creature’s former limb.

At Telefèric I also didn’t love the addition of truffle oil or the mealy pimentón potato puree underneath (an unfortunate shade of beige). As I looked at the suckers, burnished darkly to a bruised color purple, it dawned on me that all of the plates would continue to lack intelligence, beauty and magic.

The patatas bravas ($9), usually such great comfort food, didn’t stand out as different from a side of breakfast potatoes served at every diner in America. Why single these out on the menu if the preparation would render them so bland?

If they’d ever been crunchy, the indistinctive brava sauce and aioli made them even soggier.

Covered in zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes, and drenched in that ubiquitous oil, the Catalan flatbread ($13) was perfectly fine and perfectly forgettable. The vegetables were fresh, and arranged in a pretty way, but it didn’t stop me from thinking about a thousand other slices of pizza I would have preferred eating instead.

None of the tapas could dislodge the memory of similar dishes I’d had in more inspired incarnations.

There are other sections of the menu to explore, which include larger entrées like the $98 tomahawk rib eye steak and four different kinds of paella. I did see an appealingly plated burrata salad pass by, brought to life from the long list of vegetarian options, but it seemed beside the point to order California cuisine here. I also didn’t want to order yet another version of Brussels sprouts at a Spanish restaurant.

We sat outside on the busy walkway, where an endless conga line of shoppers sauntered by. Telefèric Barcelona also indulges in telling the old wives’ tale that you can’t sit inside without a reservation. We asked how long the wait would be for a table and were told that we could only sit inside at the bar. Of course, as is the case universally, a few tables inside sat empty during our meal. A restaurant that’s interested in providing an experience for the diners tends to the individual. The specialty of the house here is customer turnover.

It’s a hectic place that rushes past every important detail of a meal. The citizens of Barcelona would be hardpressed to claim it as their own.

DAMN THE TORPEDOES

Thu, 7:30pm, $58 Carriage House Theatre, Saratoga There’s always a lot riding on a band’s second LP. According to conventional industry wisdom, a band has its entire life to hone a debut, but only a year to come up with an even bigger follow-up. And so, when an artist can put out a third set with a handful of iconic singles, as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did with Damn the Torpedoes, it says something about that group’s staying power. As part of the Classic Albums Live series, the Montalvo Arts Center presents Petty’s 1979 triple-platinum release, performed by a cover band in its entirety. (NV)

When it comes to tradition, perhaps the only true constant is resistance to change. Told in real time over the course of a single 90-minute act, The Humans centers around the Blakes—a family spending an uncomfortable Thanksgiving in a Manhattan basement apartment, far from their suburban home in Scranton.

In this innovative production, which won the Tony Award for best play in 2016, playwright Stephen Karam deploys elements of horror, comedy and drama to examine the modern American consciousness at a time when we, as a country, are more divided than ever. Runs through Dec. 15. (MS)

Take a healthy dose of Emo Phillips, throw in some Michael Scott at his cringey-est, top it off with the most terrified openmic performer you’ve ever seen, and you may have some idea of Joe Machi’s comedic persona.

But the Pennsylvania native’s excruciatingly awkward timing boosts some solid punchlines, and his appearances on Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, HBO and the late night circuit prove he’s not being forced to perform by an offstage tormentor. Treat yourself to one of his sets at Rooster T. Feathers this week and let his pain be your gain. (CA)

Back in June, Amy Dabalos (a.k.a.

Amy D.) gave fans a taste of what she’s been working on, screening the video for her single “Like You”—a potent affirmation of women’s empowerment, agency and authenticity—at The Continental. This Friday, the local singer and San Jose Jazz regular will pull the curtain back on her full album with a party at Cafe Stritch. The collection showcases Dabalos’ raw vocal talent, which she has deployed in a number of styles over the years, including in the service of rueful soul, energetic R&B and lively reggae arrangements. (MS)

Pairing West Coast hardcore with classic SoCal surf rock, Agent Orange raced to the head of LA’s burgeoning punk rock scene in 1980 like a bat out of hell. Their debut 7-inch became a soundtrack for skate punks with the urgently infectious anthem “Bloodstains,” featuring the tweaker-friendly refrain: “blood stains, speed kills, fast cars, cheap thrills.”

With the help of KROQ’s Rodney Bingenheimer—a DJ famous for being ahead of the curve on punk and new wave artists—and the reputation they earned shredding Orange County house parties, the band climbed through LA punk clubs and onto a touring schedule that has spanned more than 30 years. (MS)

He sees you when you’re sleeping… He knows when you’re awake… Every year, a bearded, immortal elf makes a list, checks it twice and then descends from the icy wastes of the Arctic Circle to break into every single home in Christendom. It doesn’t get much more metal than that. Founded in the mid-’90s by a cadre of virtuosic session shredders, Trans-Siberian Orchestra are known for their face-melting arrangements of classical, hymnal and folk Christmas music—and, of course, for soundtracking yuletide light shows of Griswoldian proportions. (NV)

Whether you’re eagerly awaiting a hearty meal and some quality time with your family or anxiously anticipating some really uncomfortable political discussions, one thing is certain: The night before Thanksgiving is ideal for letting off steam—and maybe, if you play your cards right, hooking up with your long-lost high school crush. In honor of this joyous time of year, The Ritz is hosting this admission-free all-vinyl party. Resident spinners Pardi B and Basura will be joined by special guest Cutso.

LIVING LEGEND Like an increasing number of artists to come after him, Pablo Picasso was a celebrity in his own time.

Historic Strokes Palo Alto’s Pace takes one-dimensional look at Pablo Picasso’s legacy

BY JEFFREY EDALATPOUR

P

ACE GALLERY ISN’T ready to cancel Pablo Picasso. The problematic aspects of his biography aren’t on trial in “Seeing Picasso: Maker of the Modern” (through Feb. 16, 2020). For some of that reckoning, you could turn to the recently reissued memoir Life with Picasso, by one of his exes Françoise Gilot.

Instead, “Seeing Picasso” is a modest survey of his outtakes. Or you might consider them riffs on his greatest hits. For anyone who hasn’t seen his work up close and in person,

this is a fine opportunity to see how it holds up in the 21st century.

The paintings, drawings, collages and sculptures are displayed in chronological order so you can absorb the way his imagination developed. A helpful digital audiovisual tour supplements the exhibit, contextualizing the artist (and Cubism!) in a way that’s more insightful than the confusing timeline that circles round the gallery’s front lobby walls. Not included on the tour is one of my favorite comic takes on Picasso. In a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, Jon Lovitz dons a black and white striped shirt and a bald skin cap. Sitting at a Parisian café,

he scribbles on a piece of paper and smugly declares, “I’m Picasso,” thereby declaring it a masterpiece.

Some of those scribbles haven’t aged well (I’m looking at you, Le peintre et son modèle dans un paysage, 1963), while others still retain their gnomic qualities. Tête de femme (Head of a Woman, 1946) is a bizarrely conceived painting that’s entirely sculptural. Picasso paints the stone figure of a human form, but one that’s disassembled. Its long neck swoops up to a face that’s been flattened as if by an anvil. On that flat face, he pencils in feminine lips and delicate facial features. It’s an ethereal cartoon of a woman’s face plastered against the heavy architecture of that stone body.

Her expression is made comical by the juxtaposition, like Marcel Duchamp’s mustache in his L.H.O.O.Q. But first take a look at one of his early portraits. How on earth did he start in 1896 with the tepid, ungainly Lola à la poupée (Lola with a Doll) and arrive 50 years later at Tête de femme? One answer is made visible in a series of drawings—in graphite, ink and charcoal—that start

to materialize around 1907. In Visage triste (Head and Shoulders of a Woman), he deconstructs a woman’s face from inside by rearranging her facial planes and bone structure. It’s as if he started to recognize his super power, seeing through or beyond the material world’s presentation of flesh.

There are two versions of Femme debout (Standing Woman), from 1910 and 1912. In each one, he abstracts the body further and further until she’s barely held together. Or about to fall apart. This reordering of the body will eventually lead to the planar oddity of Femme la Main sur une Cle (Dora Maar), 1938. Maar’s face is in the middle of different dimensions.

Her eyes don’t match up. Her nostrils flare open like tiny craters. Her breasts, harnessed in a green blouse, point in opposite directions. And yet, even with all of these distortions, her two-toned lips are fixed in a smile.

She looks like someone who’s caught between the entrance and the exit of a time-travelling portal. But Maar, or, rather, Picasso’s interpretation of Maar, isn’t worried or unhappy about it. She’s still sporting her jaunty purple hat and matching coat.

Bikini Vase is a silly piece of sculpture that doubles as a dated Borscht Belt punchline. A red earthenware pot takes on the shapely outline of a woman’s body. Picasso paints a yellow bikini on it and the indentation of a belly button. If a male artist included it in a show next week, there’d be cries about his objectification of women and misogyny (the pot is headless).

But this show, as in any retrospective of his work, intends to shore up the value of the multimillion-dollar masterpieces and emphasize his reputation as the most innovative artist of the 20th century.

Will his biography stand between you and the portraits of the women he mistreated? Decades past the era of his supreme influence, you might be able to separate the man from the art he produced. Or you can peruse Gilot’s memoir to see Picasso through her eyes.

Bad Old Days Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren prove a fine pairing in ‘The Good Liar’

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

A

GING PERFORMERS CAN be sad to watch. Right when they should be doing the best work of their careers, they’re playing wise codgers and lending their years of integrity to luxury car commercial voiceovers.

Happily, Bill Condon’s The Good Liar rejoices in old age’s boundless capacity for treachery—a senior citizen’s dirty avidity for just one more piece of pie.

On the typewritten titles McKellen (Ian) and Mirren (Helen) get last name credits before their first names bleed up through the paper. Do they

really need first names at this stage?

It’s 2009, and a couple is busily clicking on the keyboards at a computer dating site for people in their sunset years. They tell little white lies as they correspond from their separate apartments. He, Roy, claims not to smoke, as he puffs on a cig; she, Betty denies drinking, as she takes a swig from a glass of white wine.

They meet at a posh London restaurant called The Coach and Carriage. He’s a tweedy wrinkly old gentleman with a trustworthy Walt Disney mustache. He practically signals his virtue with semaphore flags: “What I deplore most in life is dishonesty.”

The old man has a son with whom

he’s estranged: ”I don’t approve of his lifestyle. He designs kitchens.”

Meek Betty has a grandson, Steven (Russel Tovey) who is in the car outside watching Roy like a hawk—the youth is intimidatingly muscled and his ears stick out as if he’s always listening in.

After the first date, Roy politely bids good night and departs for a nearby strip club’s private lounge. Time for a meeting with a dodgy circle of “financiers,” including his main partner in grift (the great Jim Carter). All get ready to launder some Russian money.

After that deal goes bad, Roy could use a hideout. Over the objections of Steven, Betty moves the old man into her guest room, far out in the suburbs. She’s in frail health, poor dear, stroke prone; it seems as if the doctor has ordered her to stay in beige surroundings lest colors overexcite her. As they become closer, Betty suggests to her new friend that they take a trip to Berlin.

Thrilling city, Berlin, but it has some unhappy history. In long flashbacks to the bad old days that almost—but don’t—knock this film off its axles,

DECEPTIVE DUO Ian McKellen meets his match in Helen Mirren in ‘The Good Liar.’

we learn more about Roy and that mysterious scar on his neck that he’d rather not talk about.

If you don’t suspect The Good Liar’s title ought to be plural, you’re far younger and more innocent than the two leads. We can predict that Roy, the enterprising weasel, will soon become a cornered rat. Still, McKellen shows once again that he’s a virtuoso of villainy.

There are a few actors who just revel in rottenness, in deluding people with their blue eyes and their face showing wisdom bourn in pain. McKellen, best known as good old Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, has played a riot of sinister characters. Under Condon’s direction in Gods and Monsters, McKellen was the daunting James Whale, director of Frankenstein (1931).

He stole the X-Men films as the arch villain Magneto, and was a glittering evil Richard III. (The Shakespeare role is a good part for anyone, but McKellen’s 1995 take on it included some idiosyncratic crawly moments: since the would-be king has one dead arm, he pulled the ring he offers Lady Anne off his hand with his teeth, proffering it to her on his lolling tongue.)

At 80, the great McKellen glows in false benevolence, groaning bravely about his game leg. Later, pacing rapidly, he flicks a police CCTV camera away with the point of his umbrella so it won’t record his next crime. He’s a pleasure even in slighter moments of disgust, scowling at a squad of power-walking seniors huffing up the street in front of Betty’s house. And his last cowed glare at the audience is a scene of payback worthy of a Lon Chaney melodrama.

At this point, Mirren has kept her personal magic as long as Marlene Dietrich, and with a great deal less artifice; the keenness of eye and firmness of mouth projects enough force to hold this film’s wandering stories together. And there’s a shrewd final moment where Betty has second thoughts, alarmed by the noises of three little girls in her yard. The girls— perhaps in danger—are there to keep a happy ending from being too happy.

A skyscape is all the more perfect for having a cloud in it.

IN HIS NEW film, Pain and Glory, a 70-year-old Pedro Almodovar looks back on his life; the Spanish director’s surrogate (Antonio Banderas) is named “Salvador Mallo,” sort of an anagram. He’s tormented by maladies. None are lethal, though each one is enough to dissolve his concentration. He lays on his couch, being tended by his P.A., Mercedes (Nora Navas) whose main job is answering “no” to all requests. Fragments of projects emerge and sink back into oblivion: why write if you don’t have the physical ability to direct?

When a cinetheque revives his 1989 film, Mallo plans a personal appearance with the star he hasn’t spoken to in three decades. Stubbornly, Salvador insists that this star Alberto (Asier Etxeandia) gave a performance that was based on the wrong drug. Instead of the exuberance of a cocaine user, Alberto had the heavy death-on-the-installment-plan vibe that came from caballo (they call heroin “horse” in Spain, too). Alberto is still using and gets Salvador to ride the horse in question. To patch their quarrel Mallo gives him a monologue called “Addiction” to perform—the Pain and Glory successful performance draws, out of the past, Mallo’s old lover (Leonardo Sbaraglia).

R; 1 hr 53 Mins.

Almodovar’s previous film, Julieta, was based on 3Below Theaters a trio of short stories, and this too is like a series & Lounge, San Jose of tales. It fills in some of the blanks around Bad 3belowtheaters.com Education and the village scenes in All About My Mother.

We see a childhood spent in a whitewashed cave village with his mother (Penelope Cruz); here is the young Salvador’s first moment of sexual desire, so strong that it makes him faint.

Lastly comes the death of his mother (played in age by Julieta Serrano), who schemes to make sure the details of her funeral are just right.

Banderas never gets the praise he deserves. His appealing quizzicalness is now turned to that question every survivor of a wild life faces. The question is phrased like so: how did a gilded youth, who once had Madrid in the palm of his hand, who travelled, who heard the music of the Malecon in Havana, and watched singer Chavela Vargas rip her heart out on a stage in Mexico City… how, after all those adventures, did he become a grizzled recluse, immobilized by depression?

Pain and Glory is like getting a letter from Almodovar, but what’s here is not all in words. He may not quite be the last filmmaker left who understands the power of color, but his eye has little equal; he notices the harmony of colors, even in a shot of his daily regime of pills. —Richard von Busack

Family Man Like all good dads, Patton Oswalt knows laughter is the best medicine

BY JOHN FLYNN

T

HESE DAYS, PATTON Oswalt’s primary job is being a dad. But even after starring in the Pixar hit Ratatouille, shining in indie darlings like Young Adult and regularly stealing scenes on network sitcoms, Oswalt maintains a love of the stage.

“I’ll always do stand-up,” Oswalt says. “If I’m not on the road, I'll do a couple nights at an open mic and work on stuff. There are so many amazing aspects to it—crafting the perfect joke, being in the moment onstage. It’s this all-around creative rush.”

Many words have been spilled

fretting about the state of comedy in the age of Trump and social media. But Oswalt doesn’t feel our frenzied state of affairs has led to any extraordinarily radical shifts in comedy.

“Comedy has always changed,” Oswalt says. “The state of change is what’s constant. It has nothing to do with the times we’re living in. It’s just your perspective and however honest you want to be about your life.”

Oswalt first gained popularity for his encyclopedic knowledge of nerd culture, best evidenced by a sevenminute improvised monologue on Parks and Recreation, where he filibusters the Pawnee City Council with an elaborate proposal for a Star Wars sequel.

But in regard to some of his more serious projects, Oswalt says he enjoys the challenge of getting “to play characters that don't necessarily have their feet on the ground.” In Young Adult, he plays a grown-up high school loser who, years later, forms a twisted and complicated bond with the school’s former queen bee, Charlize Theron— all culminating in a jaw-dropping intimate scene.

He says his experience in comedy may have helped him strike the right tone in some of his more emotionally challenging on-screen moments. “You do have to deal with a lot of discomfort and awkwardness in the best comedy.”

To that point, Oswalt earned Emmy and Grammy nominations for his most recent special, Annihilation, in which he tackled the sudden passing of his first wife, the celebrated nonfiction crime author Michelle McNamara, at age 46 in April 2016.

In the special, Oswalt acknowledged that he was still struggling to cope with this tragic loss, especially while raising a young daughter and watching the country

elect Donald Trump. As he closes the special, he exhibits an engrossing sincerity as he delivers a mantra for these inexplicable times: “It’s chaos.

Be kind,” a quote from McNamara.

Amid a steady stream of musings on Twitter, Oswalt has given his 4 millionplus followers glimpses of how he’s been able to put his life back together again with the help of his second wife, actress Meredith Salenger.

Indeed, in the years following McNamara’s untimely passing, Oswalt has forged a path forward and into greater critical acclaim with plucky optimism. On the NBC sitcom A.P. Bio Oswalt plays the jovial, put-upon principal Ralph Durbin, the comedic foil to Glenn Howerton’s narcissistic and cynical Jack Griffin. Here, the comedian consistently and deftly threads the needle as an endearing Middle American everyman, pulling laughs out of unexpected places, like when he marvels at the rebellious nature of mohawked, sunglass-wearing orange on the label of a bottle of Shock Top. In the future, Oswalt says he would like to direct a film. He has always been a cinema buff. In the mid-’90s he went almost nightly to the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles as he documents in his book, Silver Screen Fiend, and he is excited by all the possibilities now available to filmmakers.

“That's what’s great about cinema; it’s constantly mutating and expanding and growing,” he says.

“There's space for truly everything.

And the fact that there's arguments going back and forth just shows how vital that field is.”

For a man who has performed so much onstage, it’s a bit odd that Oswalt may be best known for a role that only utilized his voice, that of Remy, the rat who infiltrates the kitchen of a fancy French restaurant.

Although Ratatouille debuted over a decade ago, Oswalt still gets dispatches from fans about their pet rats and their children dressing up in Remy Halloween costumes. To him, it’s the type of response that never gets old.

“It's still surreal,” he says. “It’s still great. I’m so lucky.”

NOV 20–28 | “THERE’S JUST NO ACCOUNTING FOR HAPPINESS / OR THE WAY IT TURNS UP LIKE A PRODIGAL / WHO COMES BACK TO THE DUST AT YOUR FEET / HAVING SQUANDERED A FORTUNE FAR AWAY.” Jane Kenyon’s poem “Happiness” is one of the most accusatory odes I’ve read that somehow still beams for our species’ most sought-after emotional state. I, too, have been happy this week, but it’s not over yet.

This Thursday, legendary writers Shawn Wong, Lawson Inada and Marilyn Chin will read and discuss Asian American literature at MLK Library in San Jose. The Elegant Pub offers up a Friday for rocking out to with Qiensave, Valley Wolf and Jesus and the Dinosaurs.

If you head to Art Boutiki Music Hall on Sunday you’ll be part of Bon Bon Vivant’s Live Album Recording Show. I’ve always wanted to giggle-cough in the background of a live recording!

Worth it! Through December, Gilroy’s brand-new contemporary art gallery 1202 will house their debut exhibit, “Show Me Your Neon.” Very striking work. Go introduce yourself this Saturday and stay for the flamenco performance.

The incredibly likable pop star Ximena Sariñana plays The Ritz in San Jose on Monday evening. Easily the best way to start the week leading up to gracious feasting. These and many more events in my listings below and beyond. = MUST SEE

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

When you put your old couch out on the curb, you don’t get to make a bunch of restrictions about who can pick it up: “Free sofa! Except for that hussy Linda and her nasty sisters.”

It is cruel to take up with a guy who’s just dumped and devastated a friend of yours. But this woman is your ex-friend, and it isn’t like she’s lying in the dark, weeping over a sock he left at her place. In fact, they were engaged 25 years ago, and she dumped him. Yet, here you are, having “girl code” invoked on you.

“Girl code,” like “guy code,” is a deterrent to would-be mate poachers, powered by peer pressure. However, girl code tends to play out differently from guy code. Psychologist Joyce Benenson, who researches evolved sex differences, finds that males, from early childhood on, are verbally and physically direct with one another in a way girls and women are not: “Bro, that’s my girlfriend you just dissed. You’re gonna need directions to the ER.” Women, on the other hand, are covert competitors, undermining rather than openly attacking their female rivals.

Benenson and other researchers believe this strategy evolved so women could

avoid physical violence, which could harm their reproductive parts or leave them incapable of fulfilling their role as their children’s primary caretaker.

Women instead use sabotaging tactics like informational warfare—the threat of reputation-destroying gossip—and social exclusion. Referencing “girl code” is part of this, revving up a woman’s fears of being ostracized and creating a virtual moat around a man.

Unlike in the male world of “Fight Club,” where the rules are clear, the rules of girl code are nebulous, unspoken.

Because women compete in sneaky and undermining ways, this nebulousness makes potential transgressions of girl code more dangerous and powerful.

So in deciding whether to continue with this guy, you should understand that there could be real costs for you for being thought to have violated girl code.

Can you weather those costs? Is it worth it to continue with this guy? Focus not on what’s fair but on what’s realistic. Some women will talk trash about you—and never mind the fact that the guy was dumped decades ago by a woman who swaps out her husbands more often than most of us replace the kitchen sponge.

I’m a 32-year-old woman, and I went on one date with a guy I’d been talking to online.

We have texted some since our date but haven’t made solid plans to hang again.

Basically, he’ll text me and we’ll chat, and then I won’t hear from him for a week. The waiting is making me really obsessive. I find myself constantly wanting to text him. I know I shouldn’t chase him, but the urge is so strong. What’s going on?—Disturbed Sometimes, when two people get engaged, the intended groom is the last to know. The guy asks you, “So, whatcha up to Saturday? Wanna grab a coffee?”

And you’re like, “I thought we’d have an afternoon wedding. But coffee’s fine, too.”

It should help to understand that this sort of crazy—the intense desire to text him—doesn’t come out of some magical, vine-covered mental love fountain within you. In fact, there’s nothing romantic about it. It’s just the mechanics of our human motivational system, which works like a machine. Russian psychologist and psychiatrist Bluma Zeigarnik discovered that just as pressure in a machine builds up and needs to be released, tasks we’ve left incomplete seem to cause emotional

tension—seriously uncomfortable feelings, a sort of mental itching. This motivates us to do the thing we’ve left undone so we can stop feeling so unsettled.

So, sure, you like the guy, but one date in, you’re dying to text him not because he’s “the one”but because you’re suffering through what I like to describe as the emotional version of a really bad need to pee.

Reminding yourself that it’s just psychological hydraulics might help you weather the discomfort of not texting and then be all cool when the guy eventually calls: “Jason? Jason who? ... Oh, right! Heyyy! Hold on a sec,” you say, as you descend the ladder and put down the glue roller you’ve been using to wallpaper your bedroom ceiling with huge blown-up photos of his face.

I’ve started dating a guy that an estranged friend of mine was engaged to and dumped 25 years ago. She completely broke his heart. She’s been engaged eight times, married five, so I hardly think he was special. But some of my girlfriends think it’s not cool and say I’m breaking “girl code.” Am I betraying her?—In A Quandary

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Beware of what

disturbs the heart," said Ibn Mas’ud, a companion of the prophet Mohammed. "If something unsettles your heart, then abandon it.” My wise Aries friend Artemisia has a different perspective.

She advises, "Pay close attention to what disturbs the heart. Whatever has the power to unsettle your heart will show you a key lesson you must learn, a crucial task you'd be smart to undertake."

Here's my synthesis of Ibn Mas’ud and Artemisia: Do your very best to fix the problem revealed by your unsettled heart. Learn all you can in the process. Then, even if the fix isn't totally perfect, move on. Graduate from the problem for good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus social critic

Bertrand Russell won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. He's regarded as the founder of analytic philosophy and one of the 20th century's premier intellectuals. But he went through a rough patch in 1940. He was adjudged "morally unfit" to accept his appointment as a professor at the City College of New York. The lawsuit that banned him from the job described him as being "libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac and irreverent." Why? Simply because of his liberated opinions about sexuality, which he had conscientiously articulated in his book Marriage and Morals. In our modern era, we're more likely to welcome libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac and irreverent ideas if they're expressed respectfully, as Russell did.

With that as a subtext, I invite you to update and deepen your relationship with your own sexuality in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her poem "What the Light Teaches," Anne Michaels describes herself arriving at a lover's house soaked with rain, "dripping with new memory." She's ready for "one past to grow out of another." In other words, she's eager to leave behind the story that she and her lover have lived together up until now, and to begin a new story. A similar blessing will be available for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: a chance for you and an intimate partner or close ally to launch a new chapter of your history together.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some scientists deride

astrology despite being ignorant about it. For example, they complain, "The miniscule gravitational forces beaming from the planets can't possibly have any effect on our personal lives." But the truth is that most astrologers don't believe the planets exert influence on us with gravity or any other invisible force. Instead, we analyze planetary movements as evidence of a hidden order in the universe. It's comparable to the way weather forecasters use a barometer to read atmospheric pressure but know that barometers don't cause changes in atmospheric pressure. I hope this inspires you, Cancerian, as you develop constructive critiques of situations in your own sphere. Don't rely on naive assumption and unwarranted biases.

Make sure you have the correct facts before you proceed. If you do, you could generate remarkable transformations in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you glide into the Season

of Love, I'd love you to soak up wise counsel from the author bell hooks. (She doesn't capitalize her name.) "Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high," she cautions. "They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling." I trust you won't do that, Leo. Here's more from hooks: "Dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love—which is to transform us." Are you ready to be transformed by love, Leo?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Burrow down as deep

as you dare, Virgo. Give yourself pep talks as you descend toward the gritty core of every matter. Feel your way into the underground, where the roots meet the foundations. It's time for you to explore the mysteries that are usually beneath your conscious awareness. You have a mandate to reacquaint yourself with where you came from and how you got to where you are now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It's natural and healthy to feel both the longing to connect and the longing to be independent. Each of those urges deserves

By ROB BREZSNY week of November 20

an honored place in your heart. But you may sometimes experience them as being contradictory; their opposing pulls may rouse tension. I bring this to your attention because I suspect that the coming weeks will be a test of your ability to not just abide in this tension, but to learn from and thrive on it. For inspiration, read these words by Jeanette Winterson. "What should I do about the wild heart that wants to be free and the tame heart that wants to come home? I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at night. I don't want to tell you where I am. I want to be with you."

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Louvre Museum in

Paris displays 38,000 objects throughout its 18 acres of floor space. Among its most treasured 13th-century artworks is “The Madonna and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels,” a huge painting by Italian painter Cimabue. When a museum representative first acquired it in the 19th century, its price was five francs, or less than a dollar. I urge you to be on the lookout for bargains like that in the coming weeks.

Something that could be valuable in the future may be undervalued now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian

performance artist Marina Abramović observes that Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus and Moses "all went to the desert as nobodies and came back as somebodies." She herself spent a year in Australia's Great Sandy Desert near Lake Disappointment, leading her to exclaim that the desert is "the most incredible place, because there is nothing there except yourself, and yourself is a big deal." From what I can tell, Sagittarius, you're just returning from your own metaphorical version of the desert, which is very good news. Welcome back! I can't wait to see what marvels you spawn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Upcoming events

may bedevil your mind. They may mess with your certainties and agitate your self-doubts. But if you want my view about those possibilities, they're cause for celebration. According to my analysis of the astrological indicators, you will benefit from having your mind bedeviled and your certainties messed with and your self-doubts agitated. You may ultimately even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun.

Why? Because you need life to gently but firmly kick your ass in just the right way so you'll become alert to opportunities you have been ignoring or blind to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every writer I've ever

known says that a key practice to becoming a good writer is to read a lot of books. So what are we to make of the fact that one of the 20th century's most celebrated novelists didn't hew to that principle? In 1936, three years before the publication of his last book, Aquarian-born James Joyce confessed that he had "not read a novel in any language for many years."

Here's my take on the subject: More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Aquarians have the potential to succeed despite not playing by conventional rules. And I suspect your power to do that is even greater than usual these days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it," wrote Piscean novelist John Irving.

In the coming weeks, Pisces, you will have the power to get clearer than ever before about knowing the way of life you love. As a bonus, I predict you will also have expanded access to the courage necessary to actually live that way of life. Take full advantage!
