and just in time for hunting season. go figure.

i just wanted to let all the people who have been thinking about me and my family know that my dad passed away this morning. i am sad, but feel relieved that his suffering is finally over. i really feel so very lucky to have had such a wonderful father. he was the most patient, understanding, fun, communicative, and loving man. i love you dad. i will miss you. pop in that willie nelson cd, crack open a beer, hit the open road in old betsy, and have fun hunting. here's to you, double d :)

as of 5:30 this evening, i will officially be a resident of willow glen i'm droping off the first rent check, picking up the key, and hauling the first of my belongings up to the apartment. My new roomie is a good friend, and I know we are going to have awesome time. Although I wasn't as prepared as I would have liked, and it will be a few weeks before I'm truly settled, I still couldn't be more excited.

It's going to be a nice break, and a chance to catch up with some old friends.

self-portrait tuesday: funny face

it's self-portrait tuesday santa cruz beach boardwalk. february 11th, 2006 i haven't done this in awhile, but i thought the photo booth picture was worth a submission. i looooooooove photo booths. i love it when you try to jam 10 people into 1 small booth. i love it when unexpected moments happen between shots and they get captured. i love the linear design. i love the fact that you have 4 chances to get it right. basically i'm obsessed with photobooths. i'm totally going to get one for my "mtv cribs" house. ps. just note to all of my friends: if you come visit me, one of the stops on our tour will most definitely be the santa cruz beach boardwalk. their arcade has like, 20 photobooths, not to mention the best roller coaster in the world.
