This must be the place.: Yeah, yeah, you know I'm always on that cool shit.

Here we go with another semi-mega catchin' up post. These are from May-July 2010.

Me grubbin' on some elote at the Laney College Swap Meet, Oakland.

4th St. Bowl! This is my neighbor, Sondra.

Rubes! Too good, I am still waiting for the Mahoney vs. Rubes showdown.

Sondra & I.

Peacock! This was either at the LA Arboretum or Botanical Gardens. (This is what happens when I wait a year to blog things.)

They were having a little bonsai exhibition/sale. So cute. These were some of my favorites.

Artichokes!

Heart shaped leaf <3!

Deal with all these cheesy flower pictures. I love orchids.

Apparently a Beyonce video was shot here.

Me & a view of some LA mountains

POPPIES! My favorite.

Saw this weird thing at the San Jose First Fridays, where they have all the gallery openings and lots of vendors & such. Apparently this weird little dude travels all over the country!

Daniella & Ethan at their Engagement party in Los Angeles.

All of us!

LAKERS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 24 years old I am happy to say I finally got to go to my first Lakers parade. I know there are a lot of bullshit bandwagon fans out there, but this was such an amazing and special experience for me. I've been a Lakers fan as long as I can remember, growing up I had pictures of Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Kobe, & Shaq plastered on all my walls. Still don't know why I never made it to a championship parade before this. The fact that this was Phil's last championship with the Lakers makes it all the more important that I was able to go this time around. It was really hard to contain my excitement, it was seriously the equivalent to a kid going to Disneyland for the first time. Being in such close proximity to the players & coaches was magical to me. It really felt like a dream. It was also great to see such unity within the Lakers nation. Living in Norcal I don't get a lot of that, so it's always cool to be able to bond with strangers over something so silly. Lakers baby!!!!!

LAKER FANS!

Got to see Yo La Tengo at some festival in Downtown San Jo.

Human Mouse Trap. Literally. Trippy.

Dark pic of the tiki bar set-up at this Fourth of July camping trip we went on last year. EPIC! The trip was with my friend Annelise's scooter gang. I guess they do it every year & they go big. They roasted a pig in the sand & built a sweat lodge!

FIRE

Seriously where we camped out was a dream. In the middle of nowhere in Willits (way north of SF.) Such pristine river water to swim around/lounge in ALL DAY.
