christmas 2009

december 25, 2009

i’ve been meaning to write something for months, but once you’re out of rhythm, you’re out of rhythm and it’s hard to get back. again, it’s hard to track everything thats happened in the second half of 2009, so i’ll just start anew with christmas.

having used up most of my vacation days, i decided to stay close to home and drive up to the redwoods national park. i used to go on annual camping trips back in michigan, and although this wasn’t necessarily camping per se, it was nice to go to a park, away from busy streets and city lights.

can you see how old it is?

shrooms!

agate beach

yes, i know what you’re thinking. you can probably make an entire house with just one log!

here you go, just wish IIII thought of this!

this tree was said to be 5,000 years old! 3/4 dead, 1/4 alive. and yes, i drove my car thru it! well worth the $6, haha.

quick shout out to the lost whale inn, you guys were awesome!

aimee visits!

december 19, 2009

aimee made a short visit to SF on her way home from korea, so the local SF’ers and aaron + urim caught a quick dinner together @delarosa. the place was surprisingly good, and enough room to seat everybody and more. seeing her reminded me of how so much has changed since i’ve moved to SF… with aaron & paul moving… aimee, jannet and phil coming and g0ing… etc…

the han’s and i

the girls’ beer all came out in tall glasses, while mine came out in a small cup

but it was nothing compared to aaron’s tiny drink. nice scarf aaron, ho ho ho.

food was delicious! and they gave us an extra pizza for free because they made it by mistake!

after dropping aaron + urim… uron? aarim?… we headed back to my place for a quick game of speed scrabble and then out to bubble lounge for some drinks.
