i found a lighthouse!

i’m so classy

happy hour at some local bar

look who i found!

some golf

my shoe fell apart : (

nice scenery…from a sand trap -_-

dinner up north (where lost is filmed!)

yay my laptop is back up and running.  its been dead for a little over a week due to my lovely fried motherboard.  this dell xps customer service is really great though, they sent a guy out to replace my motherboard in a couple days and now everything is back to normal! guess having the 2 year warranty on this thing has really paid off.  my next laptop will probably be an apple -_-

ANYWHO, i’ve been in SD the past couple weeks.  this whole not working in an office everyday, writing and recording music thing has really been nice.  i love being down here too, annie’s apartment is so nice and comfortable.  between recording our new album and eating some really delicious food, i’ve decided to start buying up some new things…you know, things that are super useful in our daily lives….like these:

meet optimus and rampage

sooo cooool

i know i really should be saving my money but they just look so damn cool.
