My nose is running

vv: I like this one! (referring to the photo on the right)
me: (looking at the display) I look deranged!

We had to take photos for work. VV took mine for me (I should have waited until my hair dried it's a hot mess and a half) and I stood on my couch so I'd be level with the camera. I was starting to laugh in that particular photo which is why I look kind of insane.

I like grain in b&w photos so I experimented a bit by adding some into these portraits. Not too bad. They totally look like yearbook photos but they're arguably better than my real yearbook photos (EEK!)

And now for some more random photos from last week. Also, in case you haven't noticed I include the date in the filename of each photo (it's the 6 digit number that prepends all of the filenames--yymmdd) if you're ever curious about when I took a photo.


mmm pesto hollandaise


don't you look familiar!


recipe from here. mine clearly didn't turn out as pretty/golden brown as the ones pictured

It seriously cold as monkey balls right now and it makes me not want to do anything that involves me not being wrapped up in blankets in bed. I hate it when the weather gets cold enough to make sitting on a toilet an ordeal (worst feeling ever is having to pee in the middle of the night and being shocked awake by an icy toilet seat AHHH). I don't know how I'd fare in a place that has real winters.

Sparkle motion

Thanksgiving is coming and I started my cooking last night. And I'm not even the one who's doing the actual dinner.

Anyway, more pictures because I really don't have that much to say anymore...which is kind of sad. I'm getting really boring.


i don't think the korean appreciated this "gift"


window washers are scary if you're not expecting them


finallyyyyy

I've been waiting forever for Smith's Rosebud Salve in a tube!

The sea would electrocute us all...!


i didn't go to this wedding


why hello there!

I had a nice dream that involved time travel and driving a car through buildings.

I want to travel somewhere.

It's Friday but it doesn't feel like it.

Have a good weekend everybody!

Bits from a week ago

And here are the wine bar photos I was talking about a couple of posts ago. I still have over $20 left on my tasting card which of course means I have to go back.

Convo from this afternoon whilst walking back from lunch (unrelated to the photos)...

me: Do you remember when we went to go see Cold Mountain or whatever that movie was?
Lina: Yeah I remember.
Leanne: (really loudly) ANUS??

GNO

The drive from Irvine to Glendale was hideous and I was ready to cut a bitch by the time I got there. Thankfully, there was a pot of gold (aka alcohol) to be found at the end of this shit rainbow (aka the 5 fwy on a Friday night).


employee: so how do you guys like our hot tub barbie? lina: uh its kind of weird... employee: oh...:(

It was a girls' night out--seven girls at a wine bar. We had flights of beer and wine and lots of marked up thin crust pizza from next door. And then we sobered up by running rampant through the wine store and loitering in the parking lot.

It was good times. And the drive back to Irvine was much better than the drive over.

(ps. LEENERS the sparkling wine was Monticelli Moscato d'Asti :))

Camera dump


I know you can't tell from the photo, but the little burger's mom is dressed like an In-n-Out employee


A little hoppier than I usually like my beer!


The crepe part was store-bought and ready-to-serve


RACCOONS. There were three of them. Not all pictured.

We got the beer from OC Wine Mart. I could have sworn I'd uploaded photos from the wine mart but maybe not. Huh.

I finally started xmas shopping sort of. Presents might suck this year y'all...I apologize in advance! I get stressed out easily and I somehow put off gift-buying too long for it to be not traumatic. One year I managed to get it all done before the end of October. That was awesome. And hasn't happened ever again.

Would it be terrible to just give everyone Amazon gift cards? Because I'm pretty sure that's all I want, haha.
