Zoom, Zoom, BOOM

So here's a picture of my pretty new car after the accident...yes, accident! I've only had it for 5 days and now it looks like this. Talk about bad luck! I ended up sandwiched between a Mercedes and a VW Bug. Turns out the Bug didn't notice the Mercedes and I were completely stopped so he rammed into the back of my car while going over 45mph. The impact caused my vehicle to hit the Mercedes in front. Thank god I was wearing my seat belt and was able to walk away alive. Tomorrow I see a doctor regarding the chest, neck and back pain I've developed as a result of the impact. *sigh*

Pablo in Seattle, WA

Pablo just returned from a trip to Seattle with my buddy Joel and his wife. It looks like he had tons of fun. Check out his travel blog for more pictures.

MY Car!

Today I became the owner of a brand new Mazda 3s and I'm lovin' it. Wow, talk about a great car! I'm excited! Here's a picture of Rose proving that the trunk is large enough to hold a body...lol.

Rock Stars

Went to another party today and saw that they had the kids recording their own music videos. That was pretty cool!

Chalk Shark

Looks like the Biology department at school was having fun with colored chalk. This is why I insist on carrying a camera everywhere I go...you never know what you're going to run into.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Today I test drove a Mazda 3 and fell in love with it. The worst part about checking out cars is dealing with the paperwork just to get a quote. I got so bored waiting to get information that I kept myself busy by photographing the reflection of my legs on the table mirror. The car was great though...I think we may have to get one.

Sure!

On our way back from visiting a friend I saw this license plate and just had to snap a photo. I wonder what the story behind this was.

Sky High

Today we saw "Sky High" since there was nothing else playing this weekend. It was an ok movie. I think the boys enjoyed the arcade a little more than the movie.

Victory is Mine!

Hip-Hip-Hooray! The thesis defense is over and I've passed! What a relief. Now all that's left is to revise my thesis and turn it in by Friday. Once that's done, I'm home free! Dang I'm feeling good right now! Big thanks to everyone at DL for taking me out to lunch, showering me with cute gifts, and for all of your support through this entire process. You guys are the greatest!

A complete Wreck!

So Dooms-Day is coming up...yes, that's right, my thesis defense. I'm so nervous! I can't wait until it's all over with! I swear I don't know how Jess kept it together through hers. I'm nauseous, and a complete wreck...and it's still 1.5 days away. Argh, I hate feeling like this.

The Place 2B

Everyone loves Janice's new place! It's just so inviting, comfortable, and gorgeous. It's the perfect place to just go hang out and relax.

Hard Rock Birthday

Happy 23rd to Rose! We took her to the Hard Rock Cafe', had a great dinner, enjoyed the Sound of Music, and did some shopping. I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did.

Housewarming

We had such an awesome time yesterday at Janice's housewarming party. She's got the loveliest home I've seen in a while, and the 50" TV isn't bad either. It was great seeing some old co-workers and just catching up on things. I can't wait until our next event. Thanks to Janice and her husband Andrew for inviting us into their lovely home.

Jason & Liz

Today we had lunch with Jason and his wife Liz. It was so great to see them again! Those two have got to be the most amazing people ever. After loosing almost everything they owned they still have a great positive outlook on life, it's really amazing. After attending a friend's wedding they'll be headed toward Connecticut. I wish them all the best!

Farmer's Market

So after being cooped up at home working on my thesis for the past 4 days, Rose finally got me out of the house. We went to the local farmer's market to get some yummy food and do a little shopping. It was nice to get some fresh air.

N.U.T.S.

This thesis is driving me CooCoo for Coa Coa Puffs!

Presenting....iClass

So the new GUI is finally done. Poor Lemonhead, he's slaved these past few months to get this done and now it is. Yay for him! Next week he's taking a well deserved vacation.

Attacks on London

This is just devastating!

No Dumping Zone

This reminds me that I need to make time this summer to volunteer with Heal the Bay. I volunteered once when I was younger and got a great feeling out of cleaning up those beaches. It's sad to see the beaches so polluted the way they are these days.

Americafest 2005

Thanks to Brian for suggesting the Rose Bowl for the 4th of July fireworks show. It was awesome! I've never seen so many fireworks at once before. Too bad the pre-show was a bore. It was still worth the $10/per person.
