More California Green

Me, realaxing at the West Coast Ocean. Looking out at the water. I miss it.



California, the world that Burns once a year, floods and shakes, and then grows back.
Chris and I took a 6 hour detour, as mentioned befor, and we got to drive through a very burned forest, that was just blooming with beautiful flowers.

Patrica Bowl!

This is just a smattering of some of the awesome climbing that I got to go and do while Chris and I were traveling down the East Side. Patrica Bowl is outside Mammoth. You shouldn't go......it sucks. No Really.

Phantom of Da Opera

So Drew and I went to go and attend the closing performance of Phantom of the Opera, San Diego on Sunday (8.10.08) and decided to make a day out of it. We got up, and went to brunch. It was great. We ate at a place called "Hash House a Go-Go." It may have been one of the best breakfasts that I have ever ordered out! The proportions we a little to big, but at least they were tasty! Whooohoooo.

Then we took a stroll out at Seaport Village near old town, people watched, and hung out shopside near the hammock store.

The show was good too...ha ha

She's a Rainbow

No really, ask Chris, the rainbow was coming OUT of my head. Serious. I can do that!
This happened on out drive home from Mammoth/Bishop to San Diego. We were taking a small detour and it turned into a SIX hour detour that ended us up in the fire lookout on Bald Mountian I think it was. The woman who was living up there was just getting ready to be relived from her 8 day post. There's a bad and a kitchen and stuff up there.....the top of the Mtn, no people and all four walls of the tower, glass.....quite the view to wake up to every morning. I can't imagine. She was living there with her dog.

Since the detour took us almost 6 hours out of our way.....we were about to be out of gas. So I made a rainbow come out of my head, for good luck, you know.



Then, i turned into a fish.....that happenes to me sometimes. As KT, or my parents.....it is tragic really.

RANT: A Novel by Chuck Palahniuk

So I just finished reading this book. I did enjoy it. But that is not why I am wrighting this........there is an awesome opening to a Chapter that really did it for me. So I am going to try and re:type it.....most likly butchering it along the was in a vocbulary spelling sense......but. I'll do my best. Copy-wrighting is hard for me.

"I consider myself to be enormously gifted with good fortune, but accidents do happen. Annually in this nation, approximately sixteen thousand people are murdered. During the same period of time, approximately forty-three thousand die in motor-vehicle accidents.

Every time I operate a motor vehicle, all of what I treasure can be taken. Stolen in an instant without due process. When you're aboard a motor vehicle, death passes within a finger's length every few moments. Anytime a vehicle passes mine in the oncoming lanes, I could be subjected to torture more violent and painful than anything the world's dictators would ever stoop to inflict. Perhaps another driver has eaten nothing but hamburgers his entire life, and as his car approaches mine on the freeway, his clogged heart fails. Blind with pain, he clutches his seizing chest. His automobile veers to one side, colloding with mine, and forcing me into another car, a gasoline tanker truck, a guardrail, over a cliff.

"Despite my lifetime of declining rich desserts, my evenings spent jogging, regardless of all my careful moderation and self-discipline–I'm trapped, wadded inside a shell of steel and aluminum. My body, violated in countless placed by fragments of broken glass. My low-cholesterol blood rushes to abandon me in hot, leaping spurts.

Despite all my care, the heart-attack victim and I will both be just as dead."

-RANT (pg 171)

AFTER THESE MESSAGES, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!

Will post soon.......but until then...

.....check out my AWESOME goat hat!

Climbing and Cake art.

So I have been bad about this blogging thing since my life has gotten a little busy. But here is a small snippit of things. I have been out and about, climbing, biking, and making CAKE ART! ha ha.



`mostly I have been climbing up in Idyllwild. The rock there is nice, tho the temps have been a bit warm. But that is not saying much, I DO live in So.Cal. Which is....well..... a desert. Hot, kinda dry, and no clouds or rain in sight.



Mostly, I just try and stay cool. The house has been quiet since Drew has been out on the ship, playing in Hawaii, and climbing and cycling in the near ideal weather on that island in the Pacific. And here I thought Navy life would be crap. I guess there are some perks eh? But I think he might be back on the ship now.




I had dinner at a friends house, no one was thrilled with the strange Green Tea cake that was achieved at RANCH 99, a asain supermarket.......so I built random shapes out of it. At least the frosting was tasty.



Also, I got inspired to make large sofa art. to replace other stuff that was on the wall that neither Drew nor I really liked.
