I need to get back on the horse!

One thing that sucks about being the vocalist is that when everyone else is jammin'...

you're stuck staring at your feet waiting for practice to begin. :(

So in between practice, jammin', trying to get the printer to work, and chillin' out, Andy got a hold of my camera...

Self-portrait. He truly is Franklin the turtle.

Aha! Proof that I was there.

mic check

I had the privilege of serving on a praise team for a youth retreat. With the chaos of the holidays, we didn't have much chance to practice too much. During the retreat itself, we spent lots of time sound checking... So in between all the singing and playing, we sound checked (and waited). With really no instrument to check, I just snapped a few shots.

Mike's foot (and all those pedals) for his electric guitar and violin.

Dag's baby.

torrey pines for christmas

My family went down to San Diego for Christmas. We took a hike down at Torrey Pines, where we stopped by the shore for the great view and skipping stones.

This is my second cousin, Kathy. She's quite a character ;)

The sis and me during our hike.

clumsy

I dropped my eye shadow. Yes, the one I bought in vegas. Yes, the one I can't stop talking about.

After patting it down and trying to salvage as much as I can...

Oh, it's never going to be the same. :(

a belated celebration

for a post-finals birthday celebration, my thoughtful girlfriends took me to eat donut man, watch the light show at Griffith Park, planned to ice skate at LA's Pershing Square (but the rain got in the way!), eat MEAT at Barn Burner, and then prance around Old Town Pasadena. It was a wet but fun night!

Looks cool at first, but then wait a minute... Something's off.

Kindra in front of the rooster at Barn Burner.

something's missing

Music - check. PhD pencil - check. Tons of scratch paper - check.

Coffee - Check. It's what's getting me through the night.

Something's missing. But I don't know what it is ;) Haha.

(mini) man of the year

One of the men in my life. ;) Or boys. Hmm...
