Day 7

Waaaaaay too much forehead. It makes me wonder why I need a haircut.

I hate putting my cat into the cat carrier. I don't like fighting with her as she knows how to bite and still has rear claws. I also hate to have to squeeze her hard to keep her from squirming while I dump her into the carrier head first... rear legs flailing, claws out, trying to bite my hand, squirming, and white cat hair flying everywhere.

In less than 12 hours I'm off to Los Angeles. I was there in July 2008 and found what I saw to be a pretty cool city. I'm looking forward to going back. I have an aunt in Pasadena and another aunt, uncle, and cousins in Victorville, CA. I'm going to try to visit both this weekend. Besides, I think it would be rather cool to get some desert shots to add to my portfolio and my flickr page.

Speaking of pictures, I just realized I forgot to buy film for my film SLR. I use Kodak UC film in my 35mm, which is pro-level and not available at your local Walgreen's or CVS. I know there's a camera store chain in Los Angeles called Samy's. Perhaps I'll pick some up before we head to Victorville. I would love to take my Pentax 645, but that camera is heavy and not much fun for traveling.

Well, folks, I'm off to bed as I have to be up in about 5 hours for my trip. I'll continue to post what I can each as this is a project for the whole year. As for now I wish all of you a good night.

To all of my metalhead readers - pick up the new Cattle Decapitation when it comes out... this is some killer material.
