So apparently, this is what happens when you put two hopkins students together in a room and they can't figure out how to get a semi-broken dual layer burner in a macbook pro (not mine... mine works) to actually burn a dual layer Snow Leopard disk:


You pose for odd/disturbing pictures with my pet iguana!

So Freddy (full name Alfred McFreddlesworth), my baby Red Iguanna, gave me a bit of a scare the other day... He jumped from my shoulder to the lid of his cage, which isn't particularly out of the ordinary. He likes lounging on top of his cage at times, as he enjoys the height of that vantage point. Anyway, he never poops on me or on my bed, and up until that morning, he had never pooed on the lid of his cage...

I was safe, or so I thought. Moments later, I hear a faint sizzle sound and then--BOOOOOM!!!

The water from his poo shatters his heat lamp! Luckily poor little Freddy was safe. Severely shaken, but ok... I guess you could say he has some truly explosive diahhrea.

Anyway, what kind of photo blogger would I be if I didn't post any pictures along with this graphic explanation? Here are some pics of my little angel (Yes, I know they're noisy, but they were all shot at high ISO):

No. I won't post any pics of the actual happenings...

Here's a picture that I took with my friend Richard last night... I should really start posting more, since I have tons and tons of pictures that I haven't processed yet!

Edit: So I reprocessed it. I think it needed a little bit of highlight refinement and some punched up colors. What do you think?

Here's the old version.

So I went cruising around San Diego with John, Hoang, Garrick, and Henry today. We hit up the best pizza place ever, and then after that hit up a few places before going to the beach, where I decided to relax a little on a bench and look at the water...

This is another shot from that same night that I took the previous post's picture. Hope you like!

Here's a shot I took back in 2005 only a few months after I got my (now-replaced) Rebel XT. My dad and I decided to go around San Diego shooting and we ended the night at La Jolla Shores.

Wow, that was a long time ago. I can't believe that I left this shot unprocessed for so long! I hope you guys like it!

Every once in a while, you just feel a little drained, no matter how hard you try to feel like you're on top of your game. How do you bring back your lost motivation?

One old, one young. One Yin, the other Yang. One who has seen and felt it all, and one who has yet to feel a thing.
Where do you think you lie?

I present you all with incredibly cute pictures today of my and my roomates' cat Ezekiel [full name: Ezekiel Meowmer II, C.O.P. (Cat of Perfection)].

Here's a more natural looking picture, but still Mac-processed, as it should be...
