I swear, at some point, I’ll actually finish editing the photos from his Birthday party…. :-/

And he said “of course, that’s how we make these things work…”

Rock on!

three rounds
buzzing down
the lights are on,
let’s hit the town

spinning ’round
and on the ground
now i think:
what’s this i’ve found?

on the wind
it rides away
caution rescinds
another day

and on the deck
i lie charred
ship wrecked
and laughing hard

the siren song
pulls me along
toward the goal
a teeming throng

and off i go
in a trance
to share the gift
of reckless dance

Consequently, I will be caravaning, instead of carpooling, with my buddy jake.

Plans are to depart for the playa 9am tomorrow morning (ish), and get there when we get there.

See you on the flip side…

I had plans to go camping with my family over the weekend, and although I invited her, she had other plans, so we met back up Sunday night for a date: coffee at Barefoot Coffee, then Italian at Frankie, Johnny, and Luigi’s. I love that place – very quiet at 10:30 Sunday night. After dinner, we drove up to Sky Line Blvd (and got lost along the way), and hung out at an abandoned vista point overlooking the city lights below.

Monday I worked from home. We hit up this Mediterranean place called Mediterranean Wraps on California Ave in Palo Alto – total Culinary Orgasm. The lamb shewarma wrap was excellent – very tender. I ordered it spicy, and apparently the clerk put a bit too much spice on it; the proprietor took him back to the kitchen and had the clerk demonstrate his technique – it was hilarious. The owner guy (who was running the grill in a nice shirt and slacks) kept coming out with free tea, felafal, and baklava. This was probably the best lunch/dinner I’ve had in a while, if only for the sheer entertainment of it all. Not to mention, it was the best lamb wrap I’ve had in ages.

I convinced her to stay Tuesday night, as well. We went out to BJs with our mutual friends (one of which was the girl who originally set us up).

Overall, It was an excellent weekend that spilled over into the week. It was great having her here, and I can’t wait to go see her new place in Los Angeles. I’m planning my sneak attack already! =)

I have a feeling I might be doing weekend photo gigs more often than I originally thought…

Their lawyers are stupid – the DMCA notice itself contains the key they want removed. Didn’t they realize that these types of letters become public record? The key is now pretty much public for anyone who happens to be interested enough to read the DMCA takedown letter.

dorks.

Who’d have thought a Sunnyvale Pub Crawl could kick so much ass??

photos to come.

However, in a series of landscape changing events, it has been cold, and even snowed on the hills above San Jose!! Therefore, strep be damned, I’m going skiing this weekend.

Tonight, assuming I have my car (which may or may not happen), I’m driving home to my dad’s place. Tomorrow morning, we’re heading up to Oregon to go SnowCat skiing – kind of like helicopter skiing, but immeasurably cheaper and a bit more ghetto.

I’m excited, but a bit worried – I don’t remember how to ski powder from 8 years ago. I’ve been snowboarding for 8 years, and I caught myself up on all the other types of skiing, just not powder (since we haven’t had any fresh powder… damnit!).
