Yesterday was a whirlwind. 6:30 wake up call. Mall to Mall walk with about 10,000 other people for Breast Cancer Awareness. It was amazing seeing so many people dressed in pink and supporting a cause, being a part of something. It was also pretty cool to walk down davis in the middle of the street and see traffic stopped. Afterwards, saw a very cool volleyball game! I've never seen one in person before. Still makes me wince every time they hit the ball. I'm just fragile like that. Then it was into costume and off to work. I didn't go all out, just a black scorpion on my face, black lipstick, black clothes. I was trying to pull of being goth. I wasn't even planning on dressing up but was asked by my manager, so that a fellow coworker wouldn't feel so alone. I hope I didn't look like too much of a dork. Sucks to work on Halloween, just gotta say!

The trees rocked a light like a baby born new Glimpsed through glass, fleeting, passed beyond the moon, a stranger in the skies.

I've finally finished editing all of my trip pictures. It totaled 176 keepers and about 30 I'm willing to share. Most are the same things, just different views. Not missing much. I finally got my hands on Elisa's album Heart. It's Amazing! I've also procured Linkin Park's newest. I can tell they are really trying new things. Some work for me, some don't. But I think they are a great group. Lyrics speak volumes. Progress on the drawing I've been dawdling on all summer. It's about time.

At first glance I thought that this formation looked like a camel. Upon further inspection, however, it is obviously an elephant, or ... Mammoth. It doesn't look like it in this photograph, but this arch is huge. Easily the size of a 3 story building. They called this patch of Arches National Park the Garden of Eden. Hilarious conversation that took place with my mother while we were in the car. ( I was driving.) Her: That light was so red! (As I was driving under it) Me: Yeah, but it had just turned red. Her: That doesn't matter, it's red. Me: -Silence- Me: Yeah... but it had JUST turned red. Her: Doesn't make it less red! It's a for real phobia! --> ANGROPHOBIA
