Oh hi there, epiphany

Today I decided that I am going to start focusing on my professional career in place of my social one.

There's nothing quite like a little female ambition.

"Resurrection" The Temper Trap ("Los Conciertos de Radio 3", 20-1-2010)

Such an awesome song!!!

The Temper Trap "Science of Fear"

Happy Thankgiving

so today, thanksgiving, was a good day. here are some things i am truly thankful for

  • zombies
  • tattoos
  • dutch apple pie
  • internet
  • ice water

also, margaritas and menthols. oh, and the temper trap, which is currently the only band i am religiously listening to.

here are some things i am not thankful for. . .

  • working the weekend
  • not physically being able to blog with gloves on
  • being broke
  • stupid men

so lets hope that 2011 omits the last four and is superfluous in the first five!

Tales of a Scout

Spread my metaphorical wings today and did a little scouting on my own (!) Can I getta what what? Ha.

Anyhows, all joking aside, I got some pretty good shots (if I don't say so myself). Tons of thanks to Bob at CalPoly Pomona for giving us the tour!

Usually I like to explore and get some novelty shots but it didn't quite work out that way today =/ better luck next time I guess..
