keepin' it cool

kiddie pool
zelda's calamari
kalidescope

i was able to escape the heat for awhile and join my family at the coast.

1. filling up the kiddie pool for my nephew zachary. of course it looked so inviting that i joined him. this is an excellent and cheap alternative to the real thing. my roommates in college often joked about getting one for the bottom of our driveway. we so should have done it.

2. calamari from capitola institution, zeldas. i hate zeldas. they are overpriced and have terrible service, but the calamari is super yummy, and since they are right across the street, i just ordered for takeout.

3. the front lawn through a kalidescope. i saw zack's little kalidescope sitting on the table, so i decided to experiment. this is the front lawn. i think they look like cucumber slices.

i ordered some 620 format film for my box camera. 2 rolls of color and 2 of black and white. they should come this week, and i can't wait to experiment!

We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
