new years

well...this year it Mel and me. We stayed home on New Years Eve. I took some amazing pictures of the moon rise above Pasadena and the mountains with me new camera. Pretty awesome looking wide open on the f-stop. Getting a Canon D7 that shoots HD video in a few weeks. I think the camcorder is dead. These new SLR's can do it all and you can use any lens you want.

Anyway, we made fondue and rum drinks. Built a fire and listened to music while we watched the city lights and the xmas tree. Went to bed at 10 o'clock. LOL. I set my alarm for 11:45 but my mom called first and woke me up. She was in Taos with brother Bob and sister Mary and all that bunch. They sang for us over the phone. Then it was time to rattle some pans as we watched the whole valley come to life with fireworks and noise. So many fireworks!

Friday was blackeyed peas and fried chicken day. Corn bread and greens too. Had some friends stop by and all was very relaxed. Watched the parade and the bowl game. Ha...next week all the Longhorns will be in town for the bcs championship game. I can practically see the Rose Bowl from house, well the lights and the fireworks for sure. Maybe I'll try and get a scalped ticket.

Saturday was 2010 rock festival down at Randalls. We had an all day jam session. I was hooking up all kinds of shit to the sound board. In search of new soundz, new stuff. I have been playing a keyboard off my iTouch. lol. It has some great sounds. Everyone thought I was texting at first. Been pulling audio from Youtube and all over the net and mixing it live. We are getting some crazy sonic shit going on.

Today I was on the hunt for some oil based clay. Gotta do the bronze piece I was supposed to do last fall. Found the place to get it but it was closed. Tomorrow. I want this bronze done by the end of the month.

School starts this week. Should be fun. UCLA here I come again.
