ground it out

When I set the coffee timer and there's coffee made for me in the morning, it makes me feel like royalty? Do you ever get that feeling?

Year 3, Day 290

say hello to jack

We went to Disneyland the first night that The Haunted Mansion was done up for Halloween. Everything is Nightmare Before Christmas, and is infinitely cooler than the rest of the year.

This is a photo of a carved pumpkin that's sitting in front of The Haunted Mansion.

the cable guy

originally uploaded by billaday.

After several failed attempts, our cable was finally installed. This guy was awesome. He noticed the cable running into our house was old (and probably wouldn't work reliably), so he climbed up the pole and ran a new cable for us from across the street.

If you have a choice, never ever, ever choose TIme Warner Cable. Horrible customer service. Terrible. One small example... I'm talking with this guy (who actually came) and he said, "Yeah, this is a big job. Those other guys must have driven up, looked at the job, and left." Last I checked, the reason they call it "work" is that you have to work. Dude.

But at least now we have television and internet.

Next time, lock up the entire bike

originally uploaded by billaday.

On a bike rack, I typically expect to see the entire bike. I think that some people leave just a tire, but that seems strange. I know! The rest of the bike is invisible. Or, next time, this person should lock up the entire bike... and not just the wheel.

dinner guests

We had our first dinner guests over for dinner. Did I mention they were guests? Sorry this photo is uploaded a bit late. My new class at University of La Verne started up, and life is crazy. I know my photo-a-day is getting behind because Isabelle has new glasses now.

I am beginning to get a decent collection of interesting photos at my new house. I've been struggling, however, with capturing nice wide, establishing shots.

Chase this light

Yet another photo I never would have taken if I didn't bring my point-and-shoot with me everywhere I go. Here, I was stuck at a really long red light.
