365

So unofficially since the new year I've been trying to do this photo-a-day kind of thing. A picture and a caption isn't terribly difficult so if anything the hard part will be being disciplined and taking my camera everywhere. It's not very thought out but eventually I'll try to be a little more creative with these daily captures.

Happy birthday mom!

My parents prefer to celebrate the Chinese or lunar version of their birthdays. So even though it was technically a couple months ago, any day will do fine for cake and excitement. Happy birthday mom.

Winter reading

Last week I found a gem at the Walnut public library where they have a little store for used and donated books. Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities for only $2! Last year I was able to score my film textbook for a few dollars (though it was an older edition) so I always like to go browse there whenever I'm back. Seeing as I don't do too much at home, putting some time into reading helps me feel more productive after starting my day at noon. My progress in The Fountainhead is a bit over halfway through but I decided I would start Jacobs' book as a little break from the action tonight.

Less sea monster, more dog

Perhaps the one who knows best what the days at home are like is Archie.

Stargazing

Health-wise, this year seems to be starting out as a dud.

No shrimp, no duck

Looking slightly bewildered due to being on too much Benadryl all morning and not shaving.

Spoons

I missed the going away party but got to see my buddy Ryan today before he leaves for Spain. Here's hoping you have a great trip. (photo via Liza)
