day 70: Today after work we headed out to happy hour with some friends from Ben’s office… happy hour turned into dinner and dinner turned into after dinner drinks and before we knew it it was after midnight. I love an unplanned evening out. Here are Laura and Alicia at dinner… after seeing my camera they exclaimed “We pose really well together… wanna see?” Here they are… an excellent pose indeed.

day 69: Thursdays are always hectic (at least for a couple more weeks… class is almost out!) and I always end up at home at the end of the day wondering what to post or what to take a picture of. I was putting away dishes when I got the idea for this one… oh the beige-ness of it all.

day 68: I posted a while ago about a creepy haunted house I’m working on at the office. The only thing creepier than a haunted house is the basement or attic of said house. I went to measure both today. Here is a shot of the attic.

day 67: I’m not sure why I’m on a France nostalgia post kick but here goes another one… one of my favorite things about Paris is that we would always walk by at least 3 grocery stores on the way home, making shopping for dinner an enjoyable daily activity. And while we were cooking we always had on hand a baguette and a wedge of brie to nibble on. The bread in LA is not as good, and neither is the brie… but I still love it.

day 66: Not much to say about this one. It’s on the Santa Monica promenade. It was definitely a monday today…

day 65: I don’t know what it is about claw machines that lures people in. It can’t be the thrill of winning a cheap stuffed animal. Maybe it’s just possibility of beating impossible odds. Allison, Mark, Ben and I tried one today while we were out to dinner… and lost. At least we got a good photo out of it. Happy birthday Dad, Happy mothers’ day Mom!

day 64: If you don’t know what phoon means, you clearly haven’t looked at the phoon website. Once you’ve checked it out you’ll appreciate this photo. This is my favorite phoon of the day.

day 63: Ben and I lived in France for about 6 months and while we were there we played a LOT of boules. We used to walk to the neighborhood boulodrome (yes, they really do call them that) and play with all of our friends on warm afternoons. We just got a new set of boules so we decided to head to the park for a game this evening. The only thing missing was… well… France. We are planning a trip back but for now this will have to do.

day 62: I had a busy day today without much time for taking photos. Luckily I’ve gotten in the habit of having my camera in hand at all times and my eyes on the lookout for nice patterns or textures. I grabbed this shot on campus while running to to my night class.

day 61: When we saw Ben’s brother Sam last night sporting a pink mohawk, we asked him if he was going to buzz it off before attending tonight’s USC architectural guild annual dinner. In true Sam fashion he said “No, why?”. Not only did he not shave the mohawk, he also matched it to his shirt and glasses. Now that’s classy. Way to be Sam.
