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...

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...

All of us survived the Oscars Marathon. Olaina and I actually stayed for all five. There was a good 45 minutes break between Ben Button and Slumdog Millionaire. We all had a wonderful time. I still like Slumdog Millionaire best. An FB friend raised a question of Slumdog being overrated and that there are better screenplays out there that should win. I agree with him on that. Lord knows how the Academy votes this year. Are they looking at the craftsmanship? That case, Benjamin Button should take the cake for the epic scale. Screenplay and directing? Perhaps Frost/Nixon should win...

I technically haven’t been “home” since Monday. Work has been driving me bonkers with how crazy busy it’s been. I got home on Monday for 5 minutes and Brandon whisked me off to see “Taken”. Holy crap, Liam Neeson is scary. He really did carry the movie. If it was somebody else, that movie would not have been that good. But I digress. Tuesday was Spamalot night. I didn’t get home until 8 p.m. Brandon was nursing a stress/sinus headache when I got home so we just went to bed. Wednesday was yoga night. Brandon finally was available to go...

My week came at me fast and left just as quickly. It seems like yesterday when I was just here, happily typing away, telling you guys about our hike at Holy Jim trail. Here we are, a week after. Went by me in a blink. Inauguration Day was also our 7th wedding anniversary. It was a new beginning for the country I live in and quite a momentous moment in my marriage. Last year, people said that America would rather elect a woman than a black man as president. Here stands Barrack Obama in front of millions, the day after...

Hey, you. Yeah, YOU! De-lurk. Now! Delurking Day is when you, my readers, reveal yourself. Leave a comment here to say hello to the world. Some of you are here all the time but never left a comment. Some just dropped in on accident, you too can show yourself. This would be the day to do that and show the blogosphere–and yours truly–some love. And thanks to Rude Cactus for letting me in on this great day! Now….a quick weekend recap. Friday party with Candice the Goodbye Girl. Tequila stained clothing included. Saturday at Slumdog Millionaire with the girls. Sunday...
