oh i have quite a bit of catching up to do. and im in debts...but not financial debts. eventually ill get around to uploading last quarters pictures. in the meantime, heres some stuff from the summer. also uploaded some dc pictures on the other blog.

i went to a japanese season festival thingy with a bunch of asian kids. none of whom were japanese, which made for somewhat of a slightly odd experience. i also ran into the most intimidating woman ive met in my life. fortunately she didn't remember me. i concluded after awhile that this festival is only suitable if youre one or more of the following:

1) less than the age of 14 but greater than 60. unless you have children under the age of 14.
2) need a place to take a date to in fresno.
3) some sick japanophile.
4) enjoy really big cakewalks. cakewalks that make the elementary school carnivals cry.


jerry decided to throw a bbq at his place as a spur of the moment kind of thing. its what all the cool kids out on temperance in clovis do. so we went to food 4 less to buy meat. i did not take pictures of meat.

i didnt know sith lords began their training at such a young age. i could not stop laughing when i saw this. angel soft and md are desperate enough to latch on to the starwars franchise to try to sell their toilet paper. what creative genius decided to reject the name "hell's embers" for a toilet paper title.

road tripped with this guy and a few others to nerdfest in san diego. manuel wong's one of the most interesting characters er people ive met. more so for his pikachu collection. that pikachu on the left had a... massive back tumor. as for the rifle...i dont even understand. ash ketchup advocates weakening your pokemon by using other pokemon in a 1v1 battle royale, not by shooting it with a pellet gun.

i dont understand driving in socal. not because of the intricate freeway system, but because of signs like these. i spent roughly 11 minutes deciding whether i should pay toll OR...get this...pay toll!

nerdfest, from the inside and out. i didnt get as good a picture of the line for waiting as i wanted to. but if it weren't for poncho, we would have waited in line for 2-3 hours probably.

an ultra-rare moment: stormtroopers unmasked! apparently the imperial forces are also defenders of the doo-rag.


optimus prime and batman, my two childhood heroes. batman was really cool because he was built of legos.


my stuff took up about 1/1000 of the trunkspace.

beachside off the san diego campus.

sadly the monday after i had to go back to take a midterm. i stumbled upon this guy after getting out of the exam, which i thought was weird for multiple reasons because i never see bunnies on campus.


shop, shop de-dop shop de-dop-de-dop-dedop. i spent a lot of summer working here.
matt transforms into the punisher. pvc, lightpens, goggles and youre good to go.


a filipino ddr reunion. 6 of us went to a sushi restaurant dressed like this going for the dane look. crazy hernandez jean.

i thought this was totally disgusting. my aunt brought my mom back some sort of filipino santizing device used to restore the youth back to your skin. its like putting babies on your face...literally. also BEWARE OF FAKE. made with real placenta extract. i find it great how this product is both new and classic at the same time.
