Quick weekend. Friday I went and saw "Darjeeling Limited," the new Wes Anderson Flick. Yes, I liked it. It has his signature feel, some funny bits and some things to think about. Later on I went over to Kelly's for drinks and finally met the infamous Beckerman. Totemo omoshirokatta. Kare ha honto ni kichigai desu ( Read more... )

So, I managed to get myself sent to morning watch also. It turns out I was next to get "bumped" off of my watch anyway so I just sped up the process. Morning watch is awesome because 1.

It is really amazing the things that you see in the ghetto. My partner Genaro and I were set to work a special detail for Rashoshana. There is a single synagogue in Foothill ( Read more... )

I can't keep my mind straight and keep fudging up at work. Well, I am amazingly far more lucid while working, but my tolerance for irritation is way, way down and I am fudging up ( Read more... )

I'm on my 3rd day off of 3 and then I go back to work. The past couple of days I have gotten some good art time in, something that hasn't happened in a while. Here is one of my creations:
