A new video, featuring my awesome scraggly pottery.

Well, I finally figured out why my stuff wasn’t posting to ourmedia. My descriptions weren’t long enough; they have to be at least 5 words long. Anyway, now everything is fixed and I don’t have to worry about eating up bandwidth.

PS. I really like Josh Leo‘s video blog. His stuff is good.

More about Arizona; While I was in Arizona, my cousin and I ran a hash with a group of Hash House Harriers. It’s a trail run/walk where you try to nab the “hares” by following chalk marks they leave behind. However, sometimes the chalk marks lead to forks in the road, where you have to choose wisely, or you’ll be forced to backtrack.

I pretty much died in the cliffs of Arizona. I am wayyy out of shape, and was definitely at the back of the pack for the majority of the run. The scenery was really beautiful (we were at Coon Bluff in Mesa, AZ) but I could barely catch my breath, much less take pictures (or video).

After the run is over, there’s something called the Down-Down. It’s a ceremony where you basically toast each other (for really random reasons) just to toast each other. It is heaps of fun.

My cousin and I are going to try and find a hash out here in California to run.

This is a weak video summary of my trip. There were some good times but they were undocumented. I fail.

Check this out for more about the Painted Ladies. It was worse on the ride home: the ENTIRE windshield and front grill were plastered.

I’m in Arizona. The drive yesterday was semi-uneventful. Last night turned out to be a bit of a bust for me, because everyone went to a 21+ bar. Boo. Tonight should hopefully be better.

It’s been a good weekend so far; Friday night I went to see Canon play at the Roxy. They are a really nice and verrry talented band (and the guitarist is adorable). Check them out if you’re into Radiohead.

Saturday morning my sister’s boyfriend and I dropped my sister off at the airport. She’s gone to Japan for 10 days on vacation. I’m really excited for her. I gave her money to buy me heaps of cute Japanese stuff!

Saturday night we celebrated two of my friends’ birthdays. They’re sisters and they were born on the same day exactly 3 years apart, cool. We had dinner at BJ’s and then cruised over to Dave and Busters for drinking and good times. Really… it was good times. Um, there will be no pictures posted from last night. ;)

Friday and Saturday night involved meeting a lot of new kids and I am tired of reciting my phone number to people, especially when I know they will not remember my name, much less call me.
