Feverish.

My new mission:

Take more polaroids & have more fun doing it.

Since I'm unable to return to my day job for at least 10 more days,

I will have plenty of time to gets some killer shots.

{Stay tuned}

Prime.

Long Beach, Queen Mary, modern/deco hotel, hot tub, fluffy pillows, Disneyland, double-scoop ice cream cones, tea cups, burritos, Manhattan beach, bike ride, sunburn, waves, seafood, sunset, photos, blue berry muffins, shopping, & great company.

Greetings bloggers!

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I did.

My parents & little sister came to CA to visit.

We had a ton of fun.

Everything is better when they're around.

Absent.

Oh my goodness!

I cannot believe that I haven't blogged in almost 2 weeks.

Crazy considering I blog almost everyday.

To catch all of you up on my whereabouts...

I've been in MEXICO! Cancun to be exact.

Now I know what you're thinking but because I am a pathetic excuse for a young adult, there was zero partying for me.

I enjoyed a couple strawberry daiquiris on the beach and by the pool but that was the extent of it.

Here are a few pictures of what we DID do...

Sombreros, white sand, authentic tacos, SPF 100, petting dolphins, Spanglish, over priced ice cream, submarine scooters, diarrhea, overly excited waiters, American Network, hammocks & Coca-Cola Light.

All-in-all it was a great time.

Current.

chirp, chirp.

Thunderstruck.

Jennifer Lopez premiered the music video for her new single "On The Floor" tonight at The Grove.

& guess who was there...

Yep, those are my moccasins.

(on J-Lo's red carpet!)

Not only did my friends & I get to stand 10 feet away from Mrs. Anthony,

but we got to dance in a surprise flash mob.

Yeah.

(Watch Extra tomorrow night to see the show)

SoCal is fun.

Infatuated.

Day trip to Duluth:

Call me crazy but I prefer snow to sand.

Native.

I love powwows.

Nerdier.

Today was another museum day.

The LA County Museum to be specific.

A combination of classic and contemporary art.

It's a place of wonder.

This took my breath away...

Cupid playing with a butterfly, 1802

Antoine-Denis Chaudet

Gorgeous.

Nerdy.

Elephants, sparkly gems, and dinosaur bones.

The Museum of Natural History is a good time.

;)

New crush.

Yum.

Loopy.

I want a perm. A spiral one.

I have the straightest hair on the planet and I've always envied people with crazy curly hair.

I'm totally going to try it, I just have to wait for my hair to grow about a foot...

:)

Bliss.

Another fabulous California weekend.

Friday:

After art history, I took the bus to The Grove. I got a cute dress on sale and talked to a cute boy on the bus. Then got dressed up went out with a couple of NSE girls to a restaurant called Ketchup on Sunset Blvd. It's owned by Ashton Kutcher.

We had a good time.

Saturday:

Went to the mall in Topanga with my friend Caroline. Stacey London was there. To say I was excited would be an understatement. I worship her. It was really fun to listen to her talk. We also got our makeup done for free. Airbrush foundation is one of the greatest inventions ever. [Too bad there is no way I can afford it.]

It was a good day.

Unfortunately my Sunday plans include cleaning and studying. I guess vacation can't last forever...

Star-struck.

Yesterday was probably the best Monday of my life.

Not only did my class only last an hour but I went to Hollywood with my friend Caroline to see Jimmy Kimmel Live!

And guess what?!

WE SAT FRONT ROW!

When Jimmy came out for the first time; I got to shake his hand.

It was amazing.

He asked if anyone was here from out of town and my hand shot in the air.

He asked me where I was from and began to make fun of me for being from Minnesota.

It was so fun!

MGMT was the musical guest and they were truly amazing live.

I wish I had pictures but the security guards took my camera before the show started and gave it back after.

Lame, but I guess rules are rules.

It was an amazing start to my week.

Here's the link to a part of the taping we were at:

If you look carefully, at 2:06, in the bottom left corner, you can see my hands clapping.

Yeah, I was that close.

(front row in off white jacket = me)

Revived.

I had a great day in the darkroom today.

No necessarily because I produced anything spectacular but it was great because I practically had the place to myself.

My assignment 2 (contrast) is due in one week but I haven't decided which photo I want to use.

Here are a few of my photos:

[WARNING: images lose detail in scanner]

(tree trunk)

(lamp)

(my feet in some leaves)

(palm tree)

(my feet [again] in some greenery)

Film is fun.

Torn.

I can't decide between them.

I guess I will just have to love them both.

:)

(Pee Ess - I realize that some of you are rolling your eyes as you read this post but I don't care.)

Happy Holidays!

Tired.

Today my sister and I were invited to take a trip to Como Zoo with my friend and her little sister. It was really fun, but a little exhausting.

Lauren came home with a decorated face. It is ADORABLE!
