the daily dub

Nothing can make a guy feel more isolated than being out of town, in a hotel room alone.

I’m down in Camarillo for Joel’s wedding (crazy, huh?), staying a smoking room (gah! it’s all they had left… to my dismay), and chillin’ out. I’m not surprised I’m not in the wedding party; I’m not surprised when Cuz dropped off the face of the Earth, that Joel didn’t ask me to take his place. I’m mostly wondering why I’m here.

I’ve always considered Joel to be a good friend, but we had a major falling out Sophomore year, and I know some people he was much better friends with from then on who didn’t even get invited. Was it that email I sent to him thanking him for challening my (at the time) skewed world view of Cal Poly?

I guess I just feel a bit awkward, not having really seen or hung out with Joel for a long time. Turns out, I miss it. We had a ton of fun last night, playing pool at Nicole’s Parents’ house, drinking beer, and generally being asses. A lot of our old, funny sayings came back.

So, Congratulations to Joel and Nicole! I wish you both all the best on your marriage (which I happened to mispell on your wedding gifts because I’m semi-retarded… sorry), and I hope you both live long and happy lives! Cheers!

I had the BEST breakfast burrito in the world that I’ve ever tasted in my life yesterday! Bobbi’s Mexican Food, in Camarillo, makes a “Jack’s” burrito that is the BEST thing to have in the morning when you want mexican food, or something hearty, especially when you’re a tad bit hung over.

So, if you’re in Camarillo, look up Bobbi’s and grab a Jack’s burrito, but know they only serve them until 12 noon.

Here’s my pre-plan for airfare around the globe on my treks.

My first roll of film ever came back today, and god damn must they have been confused about how to process it. I got some prints in matte, some glossy, and some had quadruple prints, others just one. How odd.

Anyway, at 25 out of 36 exposures worth of keepers (almost a 70% success rate for my first roll of film), I’d say it was a complete success. We’ll see how my color roll turns out. Not sure about the film I’m using (Fuji Superia 100), since I’ve never used it, but we’ll see.

One thing cool came out of the odd printing snafu: I learned that I like the matte finish better. At least for black and white.

w00t!

I made some kickass portraits of my family tonight. Let me know if you want one.

The dad unit.

The mom unit.
