Flowers and the Social Network

"You're not an asshole, Mark. You're just trying so hard to be." - The Social Network

Good movie, wise words.

Completely unrelated, but recent photos from the de Young museum in San Fran:

Sunday


It's Sunday, and I just slept for a good 11 hours. I'm feeling pretty happy about that, except for the fact that I missed the morning rain. And that I have so much to do in what is a pretty short day now. I want to go out and explore and capture the world. I want to go back to the midwest (where this was taken), not stay in my dorm room and study.

Why is Break So Short?


It really isn't that short when you think about it, 3 weeks is a long time. However, I'm still working on reading only my third book, out of so many that I still want to read! I haven't watched all of the movies on my list of movies to watch, and I haven't gotten to see everyone that I want to see. So clearly, 3 weeks is a little too short. Especially when it comes right after the roughest quarter I've had at UCLA academically. I'm just not ready to jump into battle again in just one week. I haven't missed having an alarm clock wake me up early, the dining hall food that pretty much tastes the same to me now, or the insane amounts of exams with their very confusing curves. Why does time fly by so fast, when I need more of it?

Looking Through Old Photographs at 2:36 AM

I think I am naturally nocturnal and am only forced into "normal" sleep patterns by society. I mean why else is it so easy for me to stay up until 3 am, and why do I do my best work in the middle of the night? Sometimes I can't write at all unless I do it at nighttime. And, why else is it so difficult for me to get up in the mornings? Even when I go to sleep early, I still have trouble getting up for those 8 am classes (which I've learned to try to avoid from now on).
Anyway, in my sleepless daze I was looking through some of my old photography, and this shot really caught my eye. It was taken through a moving car window, which made it blur. I think I was just randomly snapping photos to pass the time in the car, and somehow got this shot which has a non-random quality to it. Simply put, I like it.

Cat Meets Fish


I've had my pet fish for over a year now. His name is Sushi, as named by my coworkers at google last summer, and he has been a trusty companion and friend. He lived at my work desk all summer last year, and even survived my freshman year of college with me at UCLA. Now that I'm home again for the summer, and I am not working at google, he has taken up residence at my house. Here, as everywhere, he is very popular. He has met my 4 dogs, and here he is meeting my cat. So far so good, no eating incidents with his fellow pets. Not that Sushi would eat them or anything, but I keep an eye on him nevertheless. =)

Angry Stork


Wouldn't want this stork to be in charge of bringing my baby. He definitely looks like he's plotting something.
