College Art

Sometime last week Mckenzie and I got the pictures that we had been waiting for. 

We were super excited when they came.

Mostly because they were pictures of our faces. TONS of pictures of our faces.

Backstory: A while ago Mckenzie apparently did a cool art project with her church group or something and, seeing as how she also had 75 free prints from Shutterfly, we decided to recreate this project.

It's called modern art people. Get some culture.

It's also called not doing homework for the day.

Pretty cool right? I thought so. This still isn't the full project by the way, I added some more. And guess where we hung them up? Our window. Guess what floor we're on? The 1st floor aka EVERYONE who walks by our can see this. It is awesome. We were going to hang it in our hall but really, how boring would that be? And we're all about excitement here at Gordon.

Fall Colors 3.1

As thankful as I am to be home - and I am oh so thankful - Santa Barbara is looking a little dry compared to this...

Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

Fall Colors 3.0

More leaves are falling today due to a very cold wind. I mean, it's cold people. I am excited for warm SB this Thanksgiving. Even though it's supposed to be cold. Dang it. Anyways, I came across the country to find seasons and I found them - enjoy these pictures from yet another walk in the woods. 

Have I already mentioned that this feels like a story book?

Maria, Young, & Ingrid

No comment.

Okay, in real life I think she likes me. Maybe?

Lord of the Rings reenactment?

Catching the leaves!

Little Mermaid?

Boston

Did I already blog about this? I don't think so. Well, if I did, I probably have different pictures right? Let's hope so.

So a couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of going into Boston for the afternoon with a couple of fantastic people. You can probably tell how fantastic they are by these pictures. Enjoy and have a relaxing Saturday. :)

This is Will. And some famous hockey player who did something great. I mean, as far as hockey goes.

This is Maria. She is planking. If you don't know what it is... well, she's doing it.

This is Ingrid and Jenn. And Will in the background.

We got to go to Quincy Market Square and watch a talented street performer from Australia. It was pretty legit.

Sometimes, when Ingrid and Krystal try to take good pictures, Will ruins them. But then we end up with a funny picture. So, really there's no problem.

Especially in this digital age where you can take a gazillion pictures on one camera. Okay, like 800.

Then, at some point in the day, we found Little Italy. Umm, cannoles? Yes please! Giant ones? Even better. I also got a lobster tail. (The pastry, not an actual lobster tail - even though it is New England so I guess a real lobster tail would not be surprising.)

And then there's just Boston at night. 

Bat Day

Yesterday I rather unexpectedly went to Disneyland. Did you know that May 8th is Bat Day at Disneyland?

Not going to lie. It was one of the more interesting days I've spent there. Just imagine tons of people dressed up like this parading around the park. No but actually, parading. And no exaggeration there was hundreds of them. Young adults, children, grandma's. Everyone. 

So what is Bat Day? Not entirely sure but it seemed like a cross between goth and anime. So let's go with that. Oh, and add super tall combat boots and parasols. 

Needless to say, it was one of the better days to go to Disneyland.

Adventures

You know what's the best part of being a student on Friday nights? You can go on completely random adventures because you know you have Saturdays to recover.

Last night all started when I way carrying my dog and sliced my toe open. With a staple. From our really old couch. Not that it hurt that much, but there was blood everywhere. I think it's time for a new couch dad. Not to mention bandaids. You think with how prepared I am for everything and how accident prone I am we would have bandaids in the house. Nope. So I had to settle for pre-wrap my entire foot. Typical.

Thankfully the evening went up from there. Creeping out the waiters at Pizza Mizza and coloring their kids menus was only half of it. It was Whole Foods for dessert and then off to my high school to ride Razor scooters in the dark. Do you know how much fun it is to ride scooters at a deserted high school trying to avoid janitors? And then we went off to this one cool kids house to throw axes, shoot bee-be guns, and zip-line in the dark... what? To top it all of the entire night we crammed 4 people in the smallest car ever that just happened to be stick shift. You never really realize how tall you are until you have to sit sideways with you head touching the ceiling while zipping over speed bumps trying not to get a concussion. That's a joke people. I'm like 5'6".
