Ode to Alameda

You may remember a little video Bret made one night when I went to bed early.

We felt it was time for a second edition dedicated to our hometown... The Island City of Alameda (and by we, I mean Bret, he's the one with the skillz).

Some Really Great People

I promise this willl not become a birthday post only type blog, but I have put everything on hold in life until March 31st, including this blog. Why? Nothing exciting, just busy-ness.

But I have not put birthdays on hold and on March 15th, two very important birthdays take place.

I'm usually a birthday fanatic, I LOVE holidays, especially the personal type but like I said before I put most things on hold, so this year bret got a hatchet for his birthday. Happy Birhday Bret, you're my favorite human being on the planet. Enjoy your hatchet/tomahawk

And Lindsay Lark, your present will be coming a week late. You're really great. I wish you were here so we could play dodgeball with juggling hacky-sacks and you could beat me at board games.

The way my heart races it's like I'm competing in the games

I think Shaun White should have to compete against animals or some kind of extra terrestrial being because no human can match his awesomeness.

I'm Alright Lee Carter!


Whatever you're doing you should stop right now and watch Son of Rambo. Twice. I think it came out awhile ago so maybe everyone has already seen it, but no one told me about it. It's adorable. Any other good movies I should be aware of?

Important Things

Sometimes I wish I could just have a real quick conversation with my sister so I could ask her questions like, "How do you grow your hair out from a pixie?" Because right now i have a mullet.
anyone have any suggestions? Oh and the reason I look pregnant in this picture is because uh?? I don't know why.

Spoiler Alert

Somehow I went 24 years without ever seeing any Star Wars films or Gone With the Wind. However, this has been fixed. What is SO COMPLETELY baffling to me is that Luke and Leia are siblings? How did that never leak out to me. What was even more shocking was that Scarlett O'Hara is pretty much the worst human ever.

I went into Star Wars thinking Luke and Leia were totally going to hook it up and I thought Scarlette O'Hara was going to be a loving, powerful woman. I can't imagine what surprises Lord of the Rings has in store for me.

Everything is funnier while wearing a mustache

Looking back on these pictures, I realize that I probably felt nauseous at the Mystery Spot because I ate a glazed twist and a 2 lb burrito before 1:00pm.

So Mysterious


I have been seeing this bumper sticker my entire life so Bret and I decided to go to Santa Cruz and see what it was all about. The most shocking thing is that when you step inside you feel really nauseous all of a sudden. But despite the nausea, we really enjoyed it. I also liked how it was ran completely by teenagers and two men that stood in the parking lot arguing with each other for the entire 1.5 hours we were there, mysterious indeed.
