The weekend wasn't too hectic, which was nice.  After I got home from doing my grocery shopping on Saturday morning, I thought I would spend some time video gaming.  When my Xbox couldn't even load up any games without freezing, I decided that I'd had enough of this slowly dying Xbox, so I went out looking for a replacement.  After shopping around ( Read more... )

Photos from Nisei Week are now up.

It's mostly coverage of the tanabata festival, parade, cosplay contest on the 2nd weekend, and taiko gathering.  I was able to make it to 3 days of Nisei Week and that more than usual.  It was a good time.  I now have no backlog but might have a shoot this weekend so ( Read more... )

Almost every week, I go to this event called South Bay Din Din a Go Go.  It's basically a bunch of food trucks, sometimes 10 or more, that park somewhere in the area.  Every week, there are some trucks that are always at the event and there are some that are there sometimes and there are also some that I've never seen before.  I guess I began going ( Read more... )

I hope everybody is doing well with this heat.  It was an amazing record-setting day.  It was the hottest day ever in Los Angeles for as long as they have been keeping records.  It wasn't just the hottest day for Sept. 21.  It was the hottest day.  Period.  Amazing.

First a few administrative things to take care of.  I'm canceling the Halloween maze ( Read more... )

You know, I work hard all week just to get to the weekend and perhaps try to do something fun.  For the past few months, the weather has been unstable.  We've had more rain than usual.  It rained Friday night, but I didn't feel like staying in on Saturday.  The morning news said that if it was going to rain, it was going to stop by noon.  I did a ( Read more... )

I woke up really early on Saturday morning because I had a lot to do.  I went to bed early so I didn't stay up to find out the first guest announcements for this year's Korean Music Festival.  One of the things I hate about this festival is that tickets go on sale before any guests are announced.  If you want the best seats, you basically take a ( Read more... )

First of all, Happy Halloween!  I hope everybody has a fun and safe time tonight whatever you're doing.  I also hope that everybody made it to Yaoi Con safely if you chose to go up to that convention ( Read more... )

This is a rather lengthy weekend recap. There was a lot of stuff going on this past weekend. I spent a lot of time in the OC. There was lots of fun and photos and surprises.

( Saturday )

The weekend was fairly busy.  I had a few errands to run on Saturday morning, including grocery shopping, going to the post office, paying a few bills, and having to get a smog check for my car.  The rest of the afternoon was spent going to a few camera shops.  I picked up a few things that might be useful.  I'll get a chance to try all of this ( Read more... )

The calendar officially calls today Patriot Day.  I don't know what the proper greeting is for Patriot Day.  It's not exactly a happy day in US history.  You don't say "Happy Patriot Day!"  That would be stupid.

Alright, it was nice to have a short week, but it was quite eventful.  I got The Beatles Rock Band on Wednesday.  I thought it would take ( Read more... )
