down down down time

well, i have certainly been resting up the last few days here in B-town. the weather doesn't help any either. just when i thought i couldn't handle any more grayness, it started to rain today.

oh the upside, i have been able to catch up on a few season's of america's next top model. why i love that show so much, i really can't say, but it's v. addicting when vh1 shows episodes back to back. Here's a blog from one of the ex-contestants which is actually pretty entertaining: www.livejournal.com/users/elysesewell/

Which is why I went to the Mission 3X during my one week visit. mmmmmmm.

This clip is of Ann and Karl chatting during breakfast yesterday. Fascinating conversation! :) miss you.

yesterday, i wandered around la jolla most of the afternoon. the waves have been ridiculously huge this week, and although they were biggest on wednesday, i still went down to take a look. it was predictably overcast at the beach, and at least 20 degrees cooler than a few miles inland. the other pics in this clip are from the stephen birch aquarium.

be sure to turn your volume on before you hit play.

Grandma Alice - testing the vlog frontier

Kevin Wickham suggested I start video-blogging. I'm not really sure how this works, but I'm determined to figure it out.

This video I took yesterday when we were trimming my grandma's christmas tree. My grandma cracks me up. Actually, this video was a little bit longer and funnier, but i'm having technical difficulties. I'll work on this later. (Director's note: my voice is waaay louder than it should be in this b/c i was holding the camera. I will try to be quiter in the future.)

*influx*

After a week of feeling lost and aimless without the use of my computer (for the most part), I am happy to report that my power cord is functioning again. It is probably on its last leg, but at least it is working for now.

Right now I am at my fav coffee house in Golden Hill - influx. Here's a few pics. The reed looking things on the top are planted outside and are fun to pull apart and put back together. They are like nature's legos. okay...clearly, i don't have a lot to do right now.

i love snow.

it didn't stick though. just my luck. oh well.
I'm sure I'll get over my snow infatuation sometime, just not anytime soon.
