Gone Camping

i went camping with my coworkers. we go every year. last year was kern river camping ground and this year was san simeon creek in San Luis Obispo. it located near the hastle castle which i went last year with my BF.

one of my cowarker got lost for 5 - 6 hours because he was trying to get there with his motercycle without looking any maps. he said he drove LA to SLO through san jose. omg... well...i am glad he was OK.

since san simeon campground is located by the ocean, we went fishing which was fun even tho caught anything. we might have needed to start 5 o'clock in morning.

anyway, it was fun.

here are some pics :

OMG! I want this!

If Andy Warhol designed a HD case, it would probably be like that.

jyoji kubo-san exhibition

I went to the art exhibition, which is held by a japanese contemporary artist, Jyoji(George) Kubo at LA Artcore brewery annex. He is actually my coworkers' father. (She is a great designer too:)

He is an artist from Yamanashi prefecture in japan. He has been creating so many great sculptures and showing his stuff at many Yamanashi(mostly) galleries. It was his first time to have an art show in Los Angeles, USA. I guess just bringing his stuff to the US was a lots of work, but he's selling his stuff inexpensive price. wow I want one to my room tho :D

It was a pleasure to see his stuff and meet him and her wife(she is also an artist, such an artist family XD) the show is available until May, 29th at: LA Artcore brewery annex.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

i was not really a big game fan, but since i got the Nintendo DS, i became to love games.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is one of my favorite puzzle game; a combination of adventure storytelling which reminds of me miyazaiki hayao movies and over 120 puzzles. to me, the graphic, story, and all the puzzles(except few stupid questions) quality was awesome. but i am wondering if american ppl will like this game or not. well.... i looked at amazon.com, they gave this game 4-5 stars, so i guess they do.

anyway, i am definitely going to get all three Layton series!

chumby

my sis let me buy a Chumby which is a clock.

Chumby is not just a clock. connects to the internet over your wireless connection. you can watch video, listen to music, and so on.



so cute.







came with three charms, sweet. but i don't where to attach(*edited i know now) activating is not that difficult :

first, it asked you to calibrate touch screen like a PDA.



second, wifi setting. do as usual.

third, type where you live.

then, activate your chumby.
on your PC, access to Chumby.com and log-in. just follow the instructions. you are already ready to use.

there are already some software which are called "Widget" on your chumby as default. you can change the order or add more stuff from your PC :

opinion :

$160...that's too expensive for just a clock, but it's not just a clock so... actually japanese people love the design. even ipod/itouch dont have that cool features for free. i highly recommend for those people who can make flash widget on your own. well...only one thing that i dont like is it is not portable at all.

Downtown Art Walk

M had an art show at Downtown Art Walk.

The old Bank district became as the art district now, that is great idea. Some place looked like just abandoned buildings, but have turned into art.

There are many kinds of art today and all the art works are very unique.

Here are the photos:
