Sometimes I wish life had “Mute” button… I would press it a lot!

Tried doing an HDR without a tripod haha with a 100-400… crazy.

Hoisin Chicken Salad Sandwich!

This has been my lunch for a few days out of the past week!

It’s basically a char-siu-esqe sandwich and the chips have a little bite to them. 711 rules!

Lightning Pics

Most of these were shot at f/2.8, 1/6th, ISO 100. The buildings were getting overexposed with the long exposure times, so I just went to fast drive mode (hahaha “fast” on the 5d) and got lucky! Took about 350 pictures, majority which were black, and these 12 came out nice.

I guess I want to become a photographer because I keep getting more camera gear. It’s pretty fun and something I’d like to get better at. So much to learn…

Anyways, here’s some pics from Chinatown last night.

The Veggie Grill

I think everyone should eat here at least once in their life. Everything is vegetarian – mock chicken, beef, etc. – but everything is amazing and good! Best Mac n Cheese ever.

I had a chipotle burger and it was so freakin good!

I’m in LA!

It’s NAMM time again, and I just landed at LAX. Heading to Anaheim tonight to get some nice rest I hope, then a workshop all day tomorrow, then the actual show from Thursday through Sunday. I’ll be taking lots of pictures and hopefully I can get to upload them this time. Networks here are so overloaded since there’s many people. Alrighty, till next time!

Holy Reese’s, Batman!

Wow! Saw this at Walmart in November and I just had to get it! Only took a few bites of one so far… these are huge! Definitely a month’s supply of Reese’s. Awesome!

Ugh, horrible day…

Well, yesterday was cool. But today sucked. Tried to clean the house, but didn’t get too far on that. Then taking the dogs for a walk, Katsu’s leash came off of her collar and she started running in the streets almost getting hit by a car… I went after her, and luckily something made her lie down. I scooped her up and realized the leash had been attached to her dog tag, not her collar. So the little stupid key ring came undone and she was free. I pocketed the dog tag that fell off then walked home. At home, emptying my pockets did not yield the dog tag… I went searching for it, and it is not to be found.

So, great. Now it’s off to work to fix the networking problems at one of the stores. Ridiculous.

Computers breaking on Xmas Eve? OF COURSE!

I never thought I’d see it, but yes, those are Macs at our register. They always save the day when something goes wrong with our computer systems here…

I first took out my 27″ iMac to help, and my Macbook Air, then got the back up Mac Mini with Windows on it in place, and finally the store’s 24″ iMac.

Oh well, not the reason I wanted to put macs at the reg, but when the hardwired network went down, they were the only things with wifi built in that I had. YAY FOR APPLE!
