Armageddon

It looks like Armageddon out there! That sunset is amazing; too bad you can't look directly at it.

Chatsworth Fire on Steroids

This fire has clearly become uncontrollable. The flames have spread all the way toward Simi Valley and it's raining ashes outside. The air quality is disgusting as you can see from the picture above.

Chatsworth Fire

Looks like the brush fire flames are spreading in Porter Ranch. I took this picture from the Best Buy/Wal-Mart/Toys-R-Us shopping center. Those poor houses out there are real close to the flames and the fact that winds are still pretty strong is not helping matters.

Good Day

Today was a good day, not only was the sunset amazing, but I also accepted a job offer as a Human Factors Engineer. Yay! It's going to be sad leaving DL but I guess all good things must come to an end.

Vasquez, CA

Brian and I went on a photo shoot to Vasquez today and got some awesome shots. It was a real beautiful day for taking pictures since the sky was so clear.

Nishaat's Surprise Party

We had a surprise "Happy Brithday/Wedding Shower/Going Away" party for Nishaat today at work. It was cool because we were able to plan it and put it all together without her having a clue about it. It was the least we could do to show Nishaat how much she's meant to us. That girl has helped with EVERYTHING, it's going to be a big loss when she's gone. I wish her the all the best in the future. Seen above: Tiff, Janice, Nishaat, Shabnam, and Joy.

We're not in Kansas anymore

Pablo and Myriam are back from Kansas and they brought back these yummy candies for all of us to enjoy. A special thanks to Myriam for putting up with Pablo for the past week.

Kids Rave

Another Henna Mission accomplished. Yesterday I worked another Henna party out in L.A. This party was a bit different from those I've done so far since this one was held outdoors. Their theme was "Rave" so there were plenty of glow-in-the-dark accessories and the kids seems to enjoy themselves a lot.

Y-Que

I've found another Tee website to start ordering from [Y-Que]. They've got some hilarious prints to choose from, not to mention the great selection of refrigerator magnets like those found in the picture above.
Special thanks to Dave "The Lawn Inspector."

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Wow this movie was freaky! It doesn't help that it's based on a real story. It's best to watch this in the theatre since the sound quality is so great. That's what really made this movie...music and sound effects. I must admit it's going to be difficult not be paranoid about 3 am for a while.

Magnum

Someone's a big "Zoolander" fan! We had the biggest laugh with this picture when Joel-the-male-model showed us his "Magnum."

Lights, Camera, Action!

So now that we have the green screen all set up we could start recording our video shots at work. The new software we got is great since it's got a teleprompter function as well. The video/recording studio is turning out nicely. I sure wish the "video queens" were here to see it, they'd be proud.

Drive Thru Design

Well this was interesting to see. Whoever designed the Taco Bell drive thru wasn't very bright. Not only do you have to reach passed the passengers seat to get your food but you also have to look out for crossing pedestrians as you drive off. This design is hilarious!

Banana Tee

This is why we love Threadless.com. Here's Lemonhead with his nifty banana tee.

Contains 0% Juice

Ok so I'm at McD's getting a "healthy" McBreakfast when I notice the label on the Hi-C orange drink. Who in their right mind would put something like this on their label?? It just doesn't seem very smart. Must be the result of yet another legal battle.

SUV Maniacs

There are way too many bad drivers in L.A.! Yesterday a girl was hit by an SUV right in front of school while she was crossing the street using a crosswalk. That's sad! I hope she made it. There are way too many idiots driving SUVs these days! I myself almost got whipped out by an SUV while walking home one day last year.

Cool Night

The heat has finally clamed a bit and the night was just gorgeous; I just had to take this nifty picture of the moon and 2 stars.

Tank Movers

After a long weekend of moving my brother and Rose are finally in their new place. I think the toughest part was my brother's salt water aquarium and coral tank. I think it'll be a while before all components of the aquarium are plugged in. They're beautiful aquariums though!

Super Loco Gas Prices

This is the only good thing about not having a car at the moment. This is the cheapest gas price I saw yesterday.

Ana's Computer Desk

I finally went out and got a new computer desk at Ikea. Yay!

New Place

Rose and my bro are moving into their new place this week so we've been helping out in the afternoons. It's really starting to shape up. Moving is always a drag but once things have found their place it's a good feeling.

Disaster in New Orleans

I can't believe what's happened to New Orleans the past few days. It's so difficult to see how much people there are suffering especially since I was there only a year ago. I wish there was something I could do to help. I wish I could take time to volunteer. I guess the only thing I could do from here is make a donation.
