sigh. so here's some links to mah pics...but they're embedded within my dialogue for your viewing pleasure ;). oh, and the pics aren't necessarily in order of my stay there. :D

one of the first sites i see in california...i love rodeo drive...the sign i mean...So yah, there was also this kewl lookin house by the beach in LBC...And on one of the drives by the many hills of california, i decided to take a pic of some houses on a hill. i didn't mean to, but it actually turned out to be a pretty kewl photo. My friends took me to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach (that was recently featured in an episode of Alias) and outside, they have these tanks filled with actually sharks n other aquatic animals you can touch. and i think this tiny yet beautiful shark was one of them. I also took a cute pic of a lil boy petting a sting ray that was practically jumping out of the water to be petted...but it didn't scan too well...if i can fix it, i'll put it up. Oh yeah, and one of my friends got crabs in Long Beach. HAHAHAHA. yeaaaaaaaaaaaah... ;) aight, i was told to say that. :D all good cuz rusty can't hurt me ;). yah, and here we are, in front of the fountain after our fun fun dididy yum day at the aquarium. :D naw dudes, i really did have fun at the aquarium...if u kno me, u kno that i LOVE animals (though not the bugs really)...sometimes i prefer animals to people...they're alot more honest. but wut can ya do? people disappoint...it's human nature. oh, and here's a picture of some of my other friends in cali when we went to a sushi restaurant/club called Miyagi's on sunset blvd.

and tonite (rather this morning), i saved my best pic for last: Walking down Venice Beach, i was, dare i say...CAPtivated, by this beautiful rendition of van gogh's starry night... hey, i think its beautiful. man, and during this point of the trip i was still camera shy (well, maybe more anti-tourist), but i knew i had to take a picture of it...even tho i prolly coulda taken a better one if it wasn't for that stupid street sign. dammit. ;)

aight, well i'll have more like on wednesday or something...i still got like a couple more (that i think claudine will like) to show...plus formal pics...awwwwwwww! fun times mayn. wish they could last forever.
