Cabo!

Yowza... this might be a long post since lots has happened...

First up...Dave's Christmas present to me.

Cabo.

These were taken at Lover's Beach (the locals pronounce it lauffer's bitch) in Cabo. It was so gorgeous and there weren't that many people there which was really nice!
Do you see me in the shades? He thought I was taking pictures of him hahhaha!

have I mentioned how much I love my Ray Ban Cats? I got them at the Pasadena swapmeet and they've rarely left my face since. I La La Laff my shades...

Next up....the wildlife in Cabo.

We took a boat trip and went snorkling and even saw whales and dolphins!

please ignore the burrito that is still lingering in my gut in this picture...
Do you see the dolphins in my pictures?

There were lots of fishermen...

Watching this fisherman pull this blue marlin out of his ice box and chuck it to the rocks to another fisherman really took the fanciness out of seafood. It was pretty barbaric and I was pretty horrified, but it didn't stop me from eating fish!
I'm sorry, I just realized how gross this all is, but I really love seafood!
We snuck into a resort and posed as guests so that we could use their super fab facilities. Check it out!




Alrightie, that's it for now, but I have a lot more to record on my blog!

Misc

I haven't blogged in a while...Mostly because I'm totally lame at taking pictures and I always intend to, but never do!

Anywhoo....That's one of my new year's resolutions...blog more.

This past weekend was one of the best weekends EVER! On Friday, we went to D-Land (will post pics). Saturday, I met my "little sis" of the "Big Brothers Big Sisters" organization and on Sunday, I went to trapeze lessons with my real "little sis" and also had a holiday dinner at home!

I will post pictures asap because frankly, the trapeze lesson pictures are too amazing NOT to share! Just a taste...
I have to steal the jump drive from my sister to get more of the pictures, but yes, that is me. It was my Christmas present to my sister (and myself) and it was totally worth it! If you're interested in going, the website is flytrapeze.com and the guy, Richie Gaona was formerly a circus performer and now has this crazy, intensely awesome setup in his back yard in Woodland Hills. Gah, anyway, more about that when I have pictures!

I basically just wanted to write something, just to write something...and marvel at my awesome accomplishments this weekend.

1. got on a trapeze
2. roasted a WHOLE chicken perfectly!
3. enrolled myself in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program and sucessfully acquired myself a "Little Sister."
4. finished Christmas shopping and wrapping over 30 presents. (I can't really count how many, it takes too much effort)

More to come later!

Museum of Jurassic Technology

I was introduced to this museum by my friend Alli. We went here one afternoon and I just fell in love with it. It's the most randomly awesome place EVER. It's in Culver City and it is, if I'm not mistaken, an art project by a former student at CalArts. It contains a lot of pretty random exhibitions that occasionally change.


Dave's not so skilled in the jumping pictures category.


Some of my fave stuff there include a story about a bat that flies through walls by some crazy freakish flying ability. The scientists eventually build a wall thick enough so that he can't fly through it and they trap him in there and have the piece of the wall on display. Whether this is a true story is questionable, but interesting nonetheless. A gallery with portraits of dogs from the former Soviet Union that have gone into space. A section that teaches you about the history of cat's cradle and strings for you to practice with.

Tea room with the brothers horsing around.

Truly one of my favorite places in this city that I love so much.

and...just for today's cuteness...
and in case you haven't already seen this....a live feed of 6 shiba inu puppies in San Francisco. everyone at work has it going on in the background while they work on some super high brow art history stuff....aaah! too much cute!

I voted!

This will probably go down as one of the most memorable days in my life (history-wise). This and 9-11, thus far....
Because we live in the super coolest 'hood ever, we got to vote at the fire station! How cute is that?


I voted! and wore patriotic clothes! This was also the first election I could vote in because I, fobby as I am, only became a citizen in 2006, despite the fact that I've lived in Ca since I was 10!

the Brewery Art Walk

Twice a year, a little artists' community called the Brewery holds an art walk. Formerly the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer brewery, it is now a collection of living and working spaces for Los Angeles artists.


From what I hear, it's not so easy to get a place there because the digs are so highly coveted! Chloe has gone every single time since she's been with me and people are beginning to recognize me/us..made me/us feel very special.

Just some girl and her pitbull.....

And..because Dave's awesome parents were in town, they came too!!!
