Santa Barbara Trip
Last week Danny, Jamie and I took a day trip up to Santa Barbara. Obligatory actions involved: consuming Woodstocks and Blenders, taking ridiculous photos on the beach, meeting up with some co-workers, catching up with Karen, Michelle, Anne and garlic balls at Palazzio, and purchasing a:

Roland V Drum Set
Oh man. It is fun.

Dusty
We went up to the roof of the parking structure to take some Nucleus T-Shirt photos, and Dusty made my day:


The Darjeeling Limited
I thought it was good, but the more I thought about it later, the more I liked it. It made me want to hang out with my brother more.

Leopard
Who knew an operating system could be so exciting? I installed it, and it rocks on many levels (aside from broken mysql support). Time Machine is just so elegant in it's simplicity, and Quick Look is a blessing. Go Apple engineers!

Halloween Haunt
A pack of us went to Universal Studios' Halloween Haunt for, um, Halloween, and it was cool! The environment reminded me of the Biff-run Hill Valley in Back to the Future, with smoke/fog everywhere, lots of lawlessness and crazy creatures of the night on the prowl. It wasn't really scary, but it was exciting and full of energy. The haunted mazes were so well done and they even had smells (like cooked meat in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre "kitchen"). Jurassic Park was so impressive in the dark! I think Clio summed up the night best with her sketch.

Japan
Finally, I'm going. December 1st - 16th. Can't. Wait.
