I almost literally slept through this week. Coming down with some kind of sickness, I was expecting that after 2 weekends of wind, sun, and mead. I just didn’t quite expect it to hit so hard. Wednesday morning, I woke up with a sore throat and zero energy. I called my boss and went back to sleep. I woke up for breakfast, made echinacea defense tea, and went back to sleep. I woke up to snack and shambled out to my cooking class with Aurora. (Link up soon.) I came home, watched LOST, took Tylenol PM and went to sleep....

A lot has happened since last weekend. But most of them captured in photos. First, last Saturday we had the photography meet up in Lancaster with #Phototwop (@captures) for the Poppy Reserve hike and the Poppy festival. Unfortunately, we were much too late for the poppies except for a few patches on the side of the road. We still had a great picnic and a maniacal hike up a VERY windy hill. The next day, Brandon and I and his friends hit the Renaissance Faire as civilians. Armed with our cameras, we got our Ren Faire photo bugs out of...

I have been submitting “Action Shots” to ThinkGeek.com for a while now. C.H.I.M.P. Bunny here and Expendable there. So when the final purchase of my shirt-tastic shopping spree came in (I mean, Rock – Paper – Scissors – Lizard – Spock!? How could you NOT buy?), it took all of 5 minutes for us to set up this shot Brandon took, and for me to submit with suggested caption of “You Spocking to me?” Ladies and gentlemen, you are now looking at the winning portrait of ThinkGeek.com’s Action Shot of April 2009. It didn’t take ThinkGeek team long to approve...

Funniest quote of the weekend: We rode the Passport bus to the Grand Prix and back from Alamitos Bay. Somewhere by the Bluff on our way back, we spotted a couple of ladies walking down the street holding hands. The woman in front of us turned her head completely, pointing at the couple, excitedly telling her friend, “Oh my GOD! Girl, look! Look! Lesbians holding hands!” The friend wore a Lakers hat and she didn’t really turn her head to look back, so I could only assume she’s local. I live in a diverse existance and I am an openminded...

Oh yeah. Friday was a HELL of a day. It actually started Thursday night. Thursday night We had dinner and sampled ridiculous variety of beer with Paul and Lupe at Beachwood Barbecue. I finally had my Mac and Cheese, the BEST I’ve had and lord knows how many sips of whats I had. Nice and buzzed, I got home to a monstrous task of trying to watch most DVR’ed shows as I can before we get the box replaced on Friday. And what a week to have the DVR taken away too! Since I haven’t been home all week, Brandon...

#1 first day in COW SCHOOL Found on Flickr by Wild*Dreams. We were watching a National Geographic documentary Stone Henge Decoded. There was a scene when the archeology team starts to dig around the outside of the Durrington Walls.  There was a shot of all these cows gathered by the fence, seemingly to gawk at the humans. Kind of like this. “How cute!” Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. “Look at all them lookymoos!” *** #2 Southern California finally returns to its natural state of sunny and warm this weekend. “I’m sooo glad we can be out and about...
