Well the festive season is nearly upon us, and my goose is getting nice and fat. We wanted to go on an old train ride through the woods, but that was off so we had to settle for this instead - the santa cruz holiday lights train!! So we rode on the train through the city streets (with a hundred kids and their parents!!), sipped our hot spiced apple juice, sang christmas carols, and I made a little video.
I was once humiliated by a primary school teacher for saying "turn on the lampshade" rather than "turn the lampshade on" (he thought the former implied rotating whilst on top of the lampshade), so to him I say this: "I am the moon", and this: "TURN ON YOUR SPEAKERS" ha ha ha ha! (*manic grin*). Anyway, apologies in advance - I'm busy so it's a little rough and ready, and goes on a bit, but you get the jist. Happy holidays!!!!!!!
Last weekend was spent sightseeing with my mum, who was visiting all the way from Londonengland. On Sunday, I got in my zipcar and drove us south on Highway 1 to Monterey. At the end of Cannery Row, and countless souvenir shops selling stacks of Harley-Davidson and John Steinbeck memorabilia, sits the best aquarium I have ever been to - well recommended and everything an aquarium should be. Here's a little video I made of some of the tanklife on offer, so turn your speakers up and enjoy the relaxing fish and, my personal favourite, jellies!
Look out for more vids and photos from my weekend ... coming soon!
Hey there, I worked out how to rip a video off youtube.com, and add your own soundtrack to it. Home karaoke!

I picked from the tree of life, and I picked a plum.
Since I've been in Santa Cruz, full-time, for a full week I thought I'd better snap to it and produce some sort of idea for you - in a manageable time - what the place is like, in the form of moving pictures. Usually these things involve edited footage with nice transitions, subtitles, titles, effects and a soundtrack...
... erm, well it has a soundtrack!
Sights recorded my me yesterday on my wander around town. Sounds recorded by Brothers and Sisters ('California (in the fall)'). Muxed by mencoder. Enjoy y'all!
See Mr Orange and Mr Brown (now famous) make their shapes on a sunny saturday in San Francisco. Enjoy!
