oatmeal, please.


Round two of midterms has officially ended. All I really have left to complete up until finals are my sociology papers. The papers don't look too bad, so I'm looking forward to a moderately "chiller" next couple of weeks.

I was craving oatmeal the other day so I bought a huge almost three pound carton/box to have on stock. We made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies last night (I made about two dozen and we've already finished them), and I just had oatmeal with bananas, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips for brunch. Delicious! Oatmeal phase, maybe?

our san francisco giants have won the world series!




"It was mass chaos. It was hysteria. It was, 'Throw the final pitch, see what the umpire calls, look around for any kind of emotion.' Then there was just dog-piling and punching each other. I was told I gave one of the guys a bloody nose. I just kind of lost myself there.”
— Brian Wilson, on the last out of the game

Well deserved, Giants. This was the season! I only wish I had been in San Francisco to celebrate with the rest of the city (:

I'm totally looking forward to seeing more of the Giants next season--especially Brian Wilson. He's such a G.

...Okay, now I can actually start my school work. Yay for having to study for midterms during the World Series!

Oswalt--you're funny.


Since my life has really just been ho-hum and routine, I haven't much to update or write. In any case, I just felt the need to post this hilarious .gif here. It cracks me up every time I see it. I promise this blog won't turn into a tumblr...I'm just slumping on interesting things to blog about.

The Giants in 2010



To be honest, I haven't really been flowing the Giants super closely for the past three years or so. Not having a tv around sorta discouraged me from following.

But I remember the glory of 2002. Let's see how 2010 plays out.

Anyway, check out this epicness.

just because i'm losing doesn't mean i'm lost.



When I'm feeling down, I try to cheer myself up. This Monday I decided to do three things I love: take long bus rides, go shopping, and get delicious food to eat. I had a 7.5 hour break in between my only two classes on Monday so I decided to take the BART to San Francisco to get some shopping done, and grab some delicious food--all while giving myself time to clear my head on the long BART ride there and back.

I was really craving cream puffs, and decided to get myself a half dozen Beard Papa's eclair cream puffs. These are my favorite (as is anything else chocolate covered). No worries, I didn't eat all six eclairs. I brought them back to share with my roomies. They were a hit!

Cheshire Mustache

I found a disposable camera in our pantry the other day. I vaguely remembered it being mine. It had a couple more exposures left, so I took it along with me this past week to take some final photos before I got the film developed. After seeing the developed photos, I remembered that the disposable camera was kinda weird in that it added a sort of decorative frame to each photo--like a heart or a mustache. Anyhow, seeing these photos sort of had me missing the good ol' days of big bulky film cameras and film photos. I had loved photography as a kid because I loved the thrill that came with waiting for photos to develop, and finally seeing how they turned out. Maybe I'll go back to film photography for a while. Maybe I'll ask daddy for his film-SLR to play with.

I do really like how some of these shots turned out. I wish the heart photo had come out a little better. It was supposed to be a shot of my awesome Geography professors.
