macarthur park

as we were riding the subway on tuesday, brian noticed there was a stop for MacArthur Park, which triggered a Donna Summer song in his head. so that night, we looked up the song and sure enough, it was talking about the MacArthur Park that's in LA. so we went back the next day and spent almost two hours taking photos. brian than turned those photos into the video above.

yes, we might be the biggest nerds ever. we flew a thousand miles to go on a vacation where we went spent a chunk of our afternoon photographing a cupcake in a park. but you know what? we had so much fun. :)

LA: Day One

while the three-hour time difference currently has me wide awake at 3am, day one of our trip has been wildly successful. :)

because some things just make me happy. :)

pros & cons

i re-read and re-read typed conversations. i love that facebook archives messages indefinitely, as i go back days, weeks, months later to re-read what was said. there have been e-mails that i've forced myself to trash so that i would stop re-reading them.

phone conversations do not allow the same revisiting ... but i think that's fairly replaced with instantaneous responses that haven't been written and re-written before being sent. i don't generally like phones, but tonight was good. i'm heading to bed with a million conversation snippets running through my mind, a smile on my face and warmth in my heart.

his cap is so tall. like he's pulled it down over his eyes, allowing him to hide from the world.
