what a wondrous eve.

kazu and amy treated myself, david and chris to some delicious home-cooked korean barbeque which i've never had before. its pretty fun to wrap some garlic, spicy sauce, meat and rice in a piece of lettuce and munch it down. top it off with some asian pear and you have yourself a deal.

earlier, on the drive back from santa barbara, i kept seeing brighter and brighter flashes of light as i neared LA, but for some reason it didn't seem like lightning. it was definitely lightning, and its been getting closer as the night rolls on. apparently a bolt hit a tree right by kazu's house after i left and set it on fire, and fire trucks had to come put it out. madness! the last crack was so loud and powerful, i decided i had to record these booms. i just got out some recording gear, and waited. and waited. of course, no more thunder. i am managing to pick up some japanese radio stations while touching the cables though, pretty weird. i'm gonna stick it out for a while longer to try and capture that thunder...

it is raining though, and i love sleeping to the sound of rain.
