" I think that's what they did back then, err, in the future"

euclidean geometry

"mm! it's good"

"what do you think of this yoga mat?"
"I think it can be easily chewed"

“When the light turns green, you go.
When the light turns red, you stop.
But what do you do when the light turns
blue with orange and lavender spots?”

Why, gloom?
Sun come back soon.

It kind of resembles the moon
(when its big and yellow)
If you squint your eyes,
it can be easily mistaken for a lunar phase
when the geocentric apparent longitudes
of the sun and moon differ by 180 degrees.

we like to go to the sea
just you and me.

There they laid in incubators.
Tiny, helpless, and fragile.
One struggled to yawn (or breathe).
Most had deflated paper thin chests
and looked like they would tear if you touched them.
One opened her day-old eyes
and the black marbles stared curiously at me.
.
how lucky we all are
(to live)
.
welcome to the world;
day #1 of your itty bitty lives.

every time you close your eyes.

thank you for the lovely lovely lovely past 365 days.
happy one year :)

I like your apartment, view, roof,
and the Tibetan temple behind the forest of bamboo

Our own senior activity day.
Educational marine exhibits, touching starfish,
sea anemone, sharks, and string rays >
a "magic" mt.

a very playful seal

his navigational ability > GPS (tis true)

I looked so hard for Picasso..but :(

A flock of Kindergarteners chanted with increasing riot volume for nemo.
One kiddie even observed and announced there was a "black nemo"

..then off to sit in a car for 7 hours to visit mah sista..

things make more sense
when you stop trying to make them make sense.

I don't think the neighbors
appreciate you picking their flowers.
But it's okay, I don't mind.
They make lava-ly marks for books.

The world "ticklish" made me flinch. I let out a nervous laugh."'

AQUATIC ADVENTURES

(good thing he pays attention in that class)

snail boy holds sea snail

he was shy ;)

pelicans!

another "vignette"

Michelangelo would be pleased

ps: squirrels are indeed carnivores..
try throwing a piece of chicken at it!
It'll snatch it, stand on its feet, and nibble it up.

We sit on the stairs,
stare at our reflection,
lick popsicles printed with jokes,
and attempt to make green.

This must be somewhat what Meredith felt like on day 1.
Except to a much lesser extent.

the sleeping serpent

The soft melody of the unknown violinist occurred once more today.
I sat on my balcony and listened,
hoping again their parents were strict,
and would force them to practice for hours.

A very peculiar looking moth fluttered past and landed on
my mom's flowers.
It was black with white criss crossing patterns
and had one of those long things
sticking from its mouth(a proboscis).
It feasted on flower nectar and looked quite content,
then floated away into the sky.

"Inertia oozed like molasses through Elaine's limbs.
That's what it must feel like to have malaria, she thought"

this heat is smothering
-but in the good way.

Deer, banana slugs, giant moths, and gold beetles!

Northern California has much more interesting creatures.
I feel like I'm going on a four year camping trip!

I step out of the car on campus and this is the first thing I see:

woods are everywhere

reminded me of climbing through a clubhouse

orange-y greenness

I gasped when I spotted it.
It was HUGE.

what friendly koi

downtown by the warf
