It's been a very busy couple weeks. I'm back home in California and the weather has been great. I think (hope) this rainy season might finally be over and I can get back to the beach. I drove down PCH on my way to Long Beach yesterday afternoon and the waves were huge in HB. I almost cancelled my appointment so I could go ride but I think it can wait until tomorrow!
Balancing 6 classes (18 units) and work has been tough but it appears to be working out well. I'm really enjoying my classes and I'm actually a little sad that this is going to be my last semester at OCC.
I have some big work related news! In case you haven't heard, Honda partnered with Disney to be the official product of Disneyland (GM will continue it's sponsorship in Orlando). What does this mean for me? Well
ASIMO will have its own, permanent home in Tomorrowland @ Innovations. We're all very excited about this, even though it means much less traveling which I do enjoy quite a bit.
ASIMO made its way down the red carpet at the premiere of the Fox's new animated movie
Robots. It got to meet the amazing Drew Carey, the talented Greg Kinnear, the lovely Amanda Bynes, and everyones favorite MILF Jennifer Coolidge. Unfortunately Robin Williams, Ewan McGregor, and Halle Berry ran a little too long doing interviews for all the media and were unable to stop for photos. You can see photos from the shoot at

My favorite was taken by Shay though:
I also managed to finally go whale watching off the coast of Newport Beach. I've been trying to go for 6 weeks but the weather didn't allow it until now. You'll find a gallery of my shots in the photography gallery also. We saw a couple gray whales, a pod of dolphins, and some california sea lions. It was great!
I shot pics of
Gatsby's American Dream and
Circa Survive Wed night and those are up now so check them out.
