Brian and I went to Joshua Tree National Park for our beginner rock climbing class. This was the final test of the day. I climbed to the anchor the yellow shirt guy is climbing too. My arms felt like hell the day after and I'm still sore.

Podcasting

I can't believe I didn't get into this sooner. It's awesome. I started a few weeks ago. I started with Diggnation, then to TWiT, tried a few of the top rated podcasts and now I can't keep up with all the podcasts. Here's a shot of what I've been listening to. Diggnation and TWiT are tech related. Coverville (eclectic) & Roadhouse (blues & jazz) were recommended by the guys on TWIT which I find pretty kewl. I stumbled onto PinkBeltRage through flickr. A girl named Joy goes through her eclectic choices. Definitely worth a listen.

Lost Mini Watch... only the beginning

I lost my Mini watch on Wednesday.

I was preparing to leave work when bossman asks me to take a look at a computer he brought from home. It was his daughter's computer and something fried and it kept on looping the reboot. So I hooked it up and powered it on just to show him but all in the mean time I kept thinking I was going to be late to my UCLA extension class (yeah, I'm taking a TCP/IP class).

So, I hurry home - park my car and started walking toward campus. That's when I realized my watch was missing. As late as I was, I turned around and retraced my steps back to my garage. Nothing. I hauled ass to school. Thought I could take a short cut through the Engineering building got lost, looped around everywhere and 15 minutes later exited the building only a few doors away from where I entered it. F'n Doh!!!!!

By now I'm sweating like a cow because I'm wearing the corrugated pants and long sleeve dress shirt (rolled up) that I wore to work. I took the longer way to class. I was late and see a girl in MY seat. Granted it was only the second meeting but the instructor had made a seating chart last week. Everybody in class saw him drawing it up. This girl... was messing up the whole system. Anyhow... I'm bright red and sweaty like a coke can and those who notice me look at me like a total goon.

I got home, opened ebay and ordered another mini watch. Can't wait 'til the blue one gets here.

got it on ebay

I recently got this on ebay. I absolutely love it. Wanna guess I won it for? Come on, guess. You'll never get it. I got this watch for around ten bucks. Yeah... it came straight from China. I was sure the watch would arrive and the battery would be dead or something. But it was still alive and I've been wearing it ever since. It's light-weight, then AND has the Mini logo on it. The face of the watch looks exactly like the steering wheel of the Mini. Maybe I'll take a photo of the steering wheel and post it to compare. But I liked the watch so much, I went back to the ebay seller and got another one. This time a Mini watch with a blue face. I'll post it as soon as it arrives.

Kayaking at La Jolla


family outing

Last Saturday, a couple of friends and I went to La Jolla to go kayaking. We launched right out to sea and it was awesome. We saw sharks and a huge jelly fish that we accompanied for 30 minutes. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of us kayaking because every part of me below my waist got wet. But afterwards we took a walk along the shore.
