i met some fun friends for drinks and food at the harbor today, and i couldn't resist sticking around for some photos after the sunset. i just wish i could've stayed for s'mores by the bonfires!

and thus begins my weekend indoors.... since i started feeling quite under the weather, my weekend plans have suddenly all been canceled. sadly, that also means i'm pretty confined for the daily pics too. soooooooo here's a shot of a ceramic sun that i got in mexico forever ago and have had resting on my patio ever since. i liked the way the sun was hitting it and the wall :-)

for a while i'd been wanting to try multiple exposure shots, so here it is! the location's not the most exciting, but i'm happy with how it turned out. it definitely flexed my photoshop muscles! :-)

i like purple. i like orange. i do not like beige/yellow checkered patterns, but i didn't have a choice about that. considering that it's office furniture, though, it's not so bad...

What goes better with design lectures and beer than YODA?! I can't tell you what the point was to having Yoda on the slide, but at the time it made perfect sense. :-)

7:45pm on April 19, 2010 in La Jolla Shores, CA.

it started as a quick drive to watch the sunset and snap a few pics.... an hour later my feet were covered in sand, my jeans were soaked up to the knees, and i had a big smile on my face :-)

the "highlight" of my saturday was finding some water drops coming from the can light in my kitchen ceiling. turns out my upstairs neighbor had an overflowing toilet directly above the kitchen. great.

so last night i went to a concert.... had a few beers.... came home and felt like a midnight snack. so naturally i popped a pizza in the toaster oven! it was taking a bit longer than expected to cook, so i went to my room and sat down to watch tv for a few minutes while it finished. three hours later, i wake up and realize that the pizza is still in the toaster oven and i'm lucky the place hasn't caught on fire. i rush to turn off (and unplug) the oven before getting back to sleep.

today i got home from work and saw the burned pizza sitting on my counter. i expected to find a solid black disc, but was shocked to see that it wasn't all black! kinda made me think of a goth version of a pizza..... if you could find black tomatoes and black broccoli.

i went to a show at Belly Up Tavern tonight... the show was great, and i always like going there. the difference this time, though, was that i took my SLR with me instead of just my pocket camera. so i spent a good amount of time before (and during) the show playing with my camera. this shot is of part of the wall of poster art.

i LOVE yams. i got these at a small fruit/veggie stand on the side of the road while driving on highway 79 towards Julian, and they are the most orangest yams ever! i would've taken a picture of them after they were cooked too, but i was too busy eating them :)

you'd think that after 6 years of living in a city i would've gone to all the major monuments, but today was my first time going to see the lighthouse at the Cabrillo National Monument Park. it's small, but worth a look. and it totally put me in the mood for a trip to New England!!

i spent my afternoon with friends at a pub, watching a soccer game and then hanging around for more beer and food. at the end of the afternoon, i couldn't resist getting a picture of this barrel on the patio. i'm just a sucker for anything that looks old and beat up....

so i downloaded an application for my new phone. it's called "FxCamera" and it's super duper fun. my favorite setting is the "polaroid" setting, but this one is cool too, it's the "toy camera" setting :-)

ps: this is my hanging lamp.... gotta love ikea!
