Shh...don't tell anyone but it's my first visit to the computer lab. I'm sitting here pretending I know what I'm doing. Besides the fact that I never logged into this computer, it was just on, there's also all these slots for cards...an id card, an info card, I didn't use any of them. It's strange to me you can just sit down and start typing, without logging in or anything. What if you did something evil? Isn't there no way of tracking? I can see other people's previous documents...

Class is about to start. Computer class today =)

Advent Children

Hey I finally saw Advent Children last night! Amazing hair animation. I'm not sure if it really resolved the FF7 storyline, or if its storyline alone even made sense. And I feel like in certain areas they cheated on the animation, I won't spoil it, but it's semi obvious. However it was a great trip down memory lane. And now I want a ring tone like the one in the movie. You'll know what I mean when you see it =) And ya, I stole some of the images above. I'll remove them whenever I get a chance to take my own screenshots.

Went to La Jolla!

Sorry, no pictures. Forgot camera =\ Good things that happened in La Jolla today.

1) Got this incredible parking spot in downtown, that was the envy of all the cars later that day.

2) Saw two beaches, La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Cove.

3) Went to Roppongi w/brothers. Fancy restaurant, completely empty, but hey they served us, and brothers didn't go completely nuts.

4) Was not one of the people snorkeling without wetsuits.


Oh, my place now smells strongly of muffy. Thick and brown.

At school I eat lunch on a stone bench overlooking Tecolate Canyon. I have my own bench. This old man tried to sit there the other day. I removed him by talking loudly on my cell phone. The view's worth it. Off in the distance you can see Mission Bay.

Football weekend

I spent the day watching football. I'm not a fan, but I've never lived so close to a stadium before, it's only 2 miles away. At the grocery store, I saw people filling their coolers with ice and beer, buying up hot dogs, beer, and more beer. 10am, chargers fans drinking beer and tossing footballs in the washington mutual parking lot. Even more chargers fans, I know because they have their jerseys on, walking along Friars road. I saw them in the restaurants, already full at midday. I felt obligated to watch a game. And so I did. I've also been to Seau's restaurant, I've driven by the stadium, and now I've seen a game. I feel like short of actually going to the game, my Chargers experience is complete. And yet the season's just begun.

Bar review's great for outsiders not familiar with the city. You get a chance to see different bars/clubs every week, ones that you may not ordinarily go into. Friday night we went to Canes, a place right on the beach at Mission Beach. The view from the rooftop bar is absolutely stunning, you can see the entire coastline for miles on each side. There's the blasting music and crowds of strangers on one side, and the cool ocean breeze and quiet lap of the sea on the other. It's definitely my kinda place, laid back, but a good bar and good tunes. Don't go on Thursday nights though, it's completely deserted.

I went to Tijuana!

On Saturday I went to Tijuana, first time since I was tiny. It wasn't a planned trip, we actually went to the Hotel del Coronado, then somehow ended up at the border parking lot, waiting for a bus into the city. It's a lot closer than I thought, you can see the arch and the Mexican flag from the parking lot. We didn't have a tour book so we just walked up and down the main streets. We ventured into their local mall, which I've gotta tell you, isn't worth your time. You don't shop for clothes in Mexico. What you can get, on the side streets, are entire pieces of animals. Cow heads, pork heads, entire cow legs, nothing like anything you'd see in the states.

Below is a shot from a bridge over a "river." We were intrigued by this man washing his hands in the disgusting river. Of course you can click on the pix to enlarge. I've resized them from their original 6mega pixel size.



Next we have the US-Mexico Border. It's behind the McDonalds, the thing that looks like the great wall of china. It's quite formidable.


Headed for Mission Beach on Sunday. Noticed this apartment, facing the beach. Lynched pigeon. Why??


Southern California has its beaches done right. Mission Beach has firepits, allows alcohol, has lifeguards with all sorts of vehicles, and there's fancy vacation rentals with people blasting loud music and drinking cheap beer.
