welp, the sun's out and southern california has returned to its normal over-rated existance. time to wash the car (rather, get the car washed..), put away those jackets (which aren't really jackets; just stylish, trendy and overpriced 'windbreakers') and pull out the lawn chair out from the closet and put it back into the living room again.

and time to get ready for big bear. got a cabin and heading up with some friends for the weekend. looking forward to some boarding, cold nights that really are cold, and being away from urban sprawl for a bit. yeah, that's it. urban sprawl. all over.

oh, and that's a shot of hong kong over there. and there's me, trying to read a sign that's in cantonese. and some random guy on the phone behind me. that looks a little wierd. i'm not to sure how i feel about that. seems a little suspicious. anyway, nate wanted to get shots of cool toyota cars in hong kong, so we took a picture of this cool mini-van. and then we looked closer and noticed it was a mazda.

anyway, another great weekend. full of friends, dancing (well, i can sorta move around with the beat most of the time. it's a guy thing...), and ending with a trip out to The Biersch for a friends birthday. no, it's not an addiction. he suggested it. i promise. but i won't tell you how many times i've been there already this year...

oh, and i hope you don't have any nasdaq stocks right now. and if, by chance, you do, don't go and see how un-good they're doing.
