Now's a good a time as any

Revive blog. Go!

I dabbled around wordpress and tumblr, but realized that I settled in nicely chez blogspot, so I'm stickin' with it. I've grown accustomed to it's face and options and html-ness.

But! I bought a flickrpro account….last week. Surprise, I actually did take pictures while I was studying abroad in London, and with pop's fancy DSLR. The art of photogr—picture taking has always been more is more with me. Can’t help it. Ever since I was a youngin’, I’d always take the arts & craft project one bottle of glitter glue too far, one sticker too many…on the tv. On my ten day East Coast trip in eighth grade I took a whopping 600. So you can only imagine how many I took on my ten-day trip to France in high school.

Bit difficult to explain the reasoning behind such excessive snappage. It lies in a sense of fear and urgency, the what-if worries that “I’ll never come here ever again. Every single thing/moment here needs to be captured”, plus that strange bit of me that finds something worth capturing in the most ordinary, uninteresting things. I'd like to think that over the years I’ve refined and edited my eye and judgment for what’s worth capturing. Still, I took a crapload of photos in London, some in raw the rest still in high pixels so it’s taking forever and a day to upload these. Top and bottom player images are a sneak peek. You’ll just have to wait an indefinite amount of time for the rest.

In regular news, I'm still maintaining the world's fastest-way-to-premature-heart-failure diet, aka the Reptar. It's got a nice ring to it like Atkins or South Beach, except with entirely opposite effects.

I've also kept my insomnia in perfect condition, accomplishing the following in a series of all-nighters and sunrises:
--Weeding out the recyclable pages from my Sunday LA Times
--Cutting and saving coupons from redplum and saver inserts. I'm practicing for when I turn 85 in a few years.
--Hulu-ing the first season of Arrested Development for old time’s sake, then
--Engaging in a Tobias quotes-filled twitterstream with @neochoa
--Updating my iCal
--Going through my monthly “If-I-had-a-buttload-of-money-I’d-go-to-these-20some-concerts-which-I’ve-opened-up-in-my-tabs” thing
--Revamping this thing
--Being the ultimate human gmail
--Living and breathing CEC 24/7
--Living and breathing
--Freaking out after PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and FOURTH KIND and after educating myself too much about 2012. Damn Mayans.

The sun and I should be greeting each other shortly.
'Til the next post, hasta.
