So SD was fun (that was the last blog entry). Our sailboat excursion was adventurous, but nothing a little work and scrapes couldn’t fix. Um a lot of scrapes. My right leg, my left thigh, my left hand…yeah. But the fuel line did get replaced, we got off of the shoal (which was conveniently located about a mile away from the coast thank you), and it was a good time.

Then last week was busy, including a quick trip to the desert, chilling with new and old friends, 3.5 hours of sleep on Sunday followed by a 12-hr day in LA…and now its Monday!!

Since I worked this weekend I’m taking tomorrow off to head to Six Flags with some friends. I don’t do too well on backwards roller-coasters, but otherwise I’m pretty good.

Sometimes its one of those days where things just aren’t going your way. Luckily my day was alright, but this little incident might have made someone’s day a little less pleasant…(I got a good laugh)

I’m on the train to San Diego. Especially with the cost of gas, and the fact I can work on the entire train-ride down (um…yeah…data card all the way!!!) …the train is killer. I’ve said it before in my blogs, but if you’ve never taken the train down the coast its a must at some point in your life (make sure its at sunset & you’re on the ocean-side of the train)

Life has been hectic lately but things are now slowing slightly. This weekend I took a bit of time to start cleaning up the accumulation of paperwork and debris that had built up in my room, mount some curtains for my bedroom window (interesting to figure out since I had never done it before), finished some touch-up painting, almost got to finishing my taxes (I have an extension…don’t worry), edited through some recent photo shoots, and took a nice 14 mile ride on my beach cruiser.

In editing through recent pictures (like the San Francisco ones below) I also spotted a fun picture of Hayley and Travis from back in June that wasn’t posted in their blog entry but I really liked

Click the picture to visit their blog entry. It was a fun shoot. Till tomorrow!

Last weekend was a blast of a warp-tour to San Francisco and back. Normally I’d break pictures across multiple blogs, but this will give you an idea of the ground that we covered on Saturday:

Jeniece showing off the Blondie’s sign. pretty good pizza

crepes (really really thin pancakes) props if you know that line

self portrait while waiting for crepes

cool dog in a pond/pool thing at Berkeley

squirrel just playing around

um…yeah…Berkeley’s campus looks pretty stellar. Chris (on the left) just started at the Haas School of Business there (Erica on the right)

waiting for the Bart

my awesome travel-mates for the weekend

and a trip to the local store was in order

sweet glass staircase

…and he bought a Macbook Pro! …and we did close out the store

Hello. Its been a long day with a bunch of stuff that came up. Here’s another pic from this weekend (probably a little more recognizable than the bike shot), and I should have a bunch more up soon

This weekend I was up in San Francisco with Erica and Jeniece visiting our buddy Chris who just started at Berkeley. I’m wiped tonight so I’ll post up a bunch of pictures in the next day or two, but for now here’s a preview

lol

Although I’m typically behind the camera I stepped on the other side this weekend. My buddy Jeff who I first met up with at the ANTI Workshop in Vegas was busy snapping pictures of the day. A few months ago I was talking on the phone to Kyle and he was like…I think you know the photographer we hired…he said you took a picture of him eating Saltine crackers in Vegas. I paused for a few seconds and then remembered the circumstances that Jeff and I met under (check it out if you don’t remember the blog). lol. Jeff’s a great guy. Here’s one of my favorites that he’s posted of the wedding so far:

Check out his blog for some more pics.

Oh yeah…the Dolphins were out, although not as close to the boat as I hoped. Here’s an early morning shot on our crossing back to the mainland.

It was absolutely gorgeous just chilling on the front-end of our boat watching the sun set for the night in Catalina. All of the anchor lights for the boats start coming on and glow in the darkness across the water… The trip was awesome–thanks again JD for use of the boat. Kyle…only 1 week to go!!!

So Catalina is a blast and we’re enjoying our time on JD’s boat. Yes, we’re all alive and being responsible. Well…actually we were were jumping off of the top bridge of the boat yesterday, and Ryan did fall out of the dingy all on his own (funny to watch as he slowly reclined back and slid into the water), but yeah. I’ll post up many images once I’m back, but here’s one of us chilling on the boat:
