Another very random blog!

Hi all you bloggers out there in far off lands! How are you all? I'm sure everyone is doing something incredibly exciting. What is Juicebox doing you may ask? Well he's sleeping. He went to this very hip disco bar on State Street last night. He was hopping away and bounding about till five in the morning-I was beginning to get worried. Oh and I forgot to tell you-Tripp and him broke up! I know I was sad too. Tripp has to go back to his native country Bulgaria because his brother got in a very awul taffy incident (don't ask). Juicebox wanted to go with him for support but Tripp said he couldn't ask Juicebox to go to a country without a beach and they parted ways. He was crying for weeks eating Mac and Cheese. One day he actually wanted to go into the microwave. That's when I told him he had to leave the apartment. Initially he just would go out for five minutes around the neighborhood. And then a homeless person gave him a harmonica and he began to play that endlessly at the "Ralph's" store. (He had a sign that said "Please give me peaches to make peach iced tea but he never got any). And finally yesterday he went to a nightclub and danced the night away. I think he's happy although he is in dreamland so he could be having some strange dream about Tripp.
Other than that my people photography class is interesting. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. I like the projects we get to do but the teacher reminds me of Morley (she's even a folk singer who is anti-creationism). Actually this week I will be photographing a violinist and a harpist in the studio so I'm pretty excited for that-I just hope the images are in focus.
And I don't know if any of you want to know what's on my bookshelf, but I'm reading three right now to keep my mind extra busy. My favorite one is "Dead until dark." My friend recommended it to me because my guilty pleasure is the "True Blood" Series which is based on the books. So far I must give props to HBO (everything is somewhat accurate) but I'm only on Chapter two. The second book is because for some very odd reason I miss Monterey (I must be a massichist) so I thought I would give Steinbeck another try through reading "East of Eden." It's good so far but some of the things he says are really outlandish (hey that's what makes great literature!) And finally I am reading "Korea" because get this I am going there in less than a month! I'm trying to talk Juicebox into going with me but he's not a fan of dogs (sorry Abby) due to a terrible incident with a chihuahua.
I suppose another common theme in these blogs are movie reviews so here are two that I have recently seen and were impressed with. "Star Trek" was a great typical summer movie. I finally know who Scotty is! And now the saying "Live long and prosper makes sense." Although I sat in front of two Trekkies that hated the movie due to inaccuracies (Get a life guys!) The second movie I saw was "Angels and Demons." Even though they skipped half the book it was much better than the "Da Vinci code" although brace yourself for Tom Hanks in a Speedo (it still gives me chills). Of course it wasn't nearly as good as the amazing book but I still really liked it. I think I'm finally learning to look at movies and tv series independent of the books.
Alrighty-roo-that is everything! I know this was an incredibly long blog and if you've made it this far-congratulations you've completed your reading for the day. Well, I'm off. I still have to prepare for summer trip to Korea! Adios bloggers!

Santa Barbara's burning up!

Hey everyone!
How is everyone out there in those fun faroff places? Well I'm hot hot hot here in Santa Barbara. I'm not talking about this in the ego sense but the temperature sense. The hills of Santa Barbara are on fire-can you believe that? And I know what you are thinking-no I did not start it...I think. Juicebox certainly did not, although he is out now to check out the firefighters. I would've gone with him, but that might look a bit strange. He also thought I would not make a good wingman (or wingwoman if you are a feminist), can you imagine that? I did help him make peach smoothies to give to them, but I told him they'd melt by the time he got there. Darn that Juicebox, he didn't listen and came home in tears (and tons of sweat). The peach smoothies apparently became peach tea and nobody would even try it. It's alright though, I told him we could send the peach tea to Alaska where it's cold. He jumped up for joy. Although now I wonder if you could send liquids by mail.
So all you blog readers don't come to Santa Barbara now, the stop lights are not working at all. If you walk down State Street, you'll be inhaling ash. And I was thinking about it and maybe I could tell people that I tried smoking-jk. And not to mention you'll be drenched in head to toe with sweat-I know what a wonderful picture! Well I'm off to watch the mansions go up in flames!
