Things done since ever.

• Bought tickets for the NPL Convention in Providence. Will be flying into Boston on the 4th (5 p.m. EDT), looking to bum around before heading to the hotel on Wednesday afternoon, then flying out of Logan early on the 11th (7 a.m.). Who'll be around?
• I also said, "Screw it!" and asked for the rest of that week off from work, ( Read more... )

Last night, I discovered why I might not have been sleeping so well when I woke up gasping for breath and tasting stomach acid in my throat. Oddly, I think this may have been exacerbated by the new bedframe. I know the old one was a little messed up, maybe it was giving me that slope that's supposed to help keep that from happening ( Read more... )

With all the caching I've been doing, I thought I should spend some time getting reacquainted with Google Earth. And yet, I didn't get around to uploading any of the new stuff. Instead, I touched up some photos and made a map of a hike I made three years ago with

Because apparently my profile requires a login.

After almost seven years, I've now found over 200 geocaches. Here are pretty pictures with numbers about it, under a cut of course.

( Could there be something hiding underneath this? )

I went out on two abbreviated hikes (more like walks), one with

Some stuff from the past week.

• Hitched a ride out to Mission Viejo (inorite?) to go to Farrell's for wjukknibs's birthday party. W's on a quest to have birthday parties at locations when Angelenos our age would have had birthdays as children. We've done Chuck E Cheese's, and he's contemplating a McDonald's party.
• My role-playing group has been having a lot ( Read more... )

I knew it was going to be hot today, so I planned to get up early and take ojouchan to a job in Glendale. Then I could pick up a few caches in Glendale, La Cañada, or Tujunga.

What I didn't know last night, when I was making my plans, was that it was on fire. I'd known about the earlier Morris fire further east, but I hadn't paid close enough attention to ( Read more... )

I made a new icon for hiking posts. Having Photoshop and a paid Dreamwidth account is driving me a little icon happy, I guess.

It's taken from this photo, which is also my computer desktop at work.

On Friday, we were on a trip to get ojouchan to Michaels, so that she could buy some supplies. On our way out, I realized I'd forgotten which street it was on, and we spent a little time threading through Glendale, just missing the strip mall every time. Ojou said she wanted to stop at Linens N Things, and petite_ingenue was hungry, so eventually we just parked. We had ( Read more... )

I've been getting increasingly bugged by driving to one place for no other reason. So when ojouchan says she needs a ride, it's generally a signal that I'm going hiking. Since I was taking her into the center of the valley, it didn't seem right to then double back and do the Santa Monica Mountains. Instead, I geocached my way north through the valley to O ( Read more... )
