It’s Wednesday and changes are afoot. Things are coming up milhouse. Not really ready to reveal anything yet, so instead, let me distract you with pictures of cats.

Photographic spring cleaning.
I’ve been sitting on quite a few photos from various trips, etc. that I never got around to posting because it was just too painful to process them with an ancient Mac mini G4 with a mere 1GB of RAM.
Old Lijiang city in China was one of the best [...]

This is what I feel like after this particular week of employment. On the other hand, if my facial hair looks that amazing some day, sign me up. I may have to stop shaving for the rest of my life beginning… now.

If only he were puking Sour Patch Kids.
Torre Agbar and La Sagrada Familia
This lizard is everywhere. Personally, I found it a little underwhelming. Love the argyle though!
This is probably what I look like all the time. Except I’m, you know, Asian, so I’ve got that sweet stereotype going for me, which is nice.
Sorry Joey, I [...]
Math turns me on too.
We spent a half day wandering around la Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi.
One of the cooler cathedrals I’ve ever been to, and it’s not even completed yet. I loved how much Gaudi borrowed from nature in his designs, from plant morphology to placing fruits on top of the spires to [...]

Back for a few days and I’m already missing eating tapas for every meal.

Not my favourite shot; the b&w treatment was a crutch to try and distract you from the poor lighting and unfocused composition. Left it uncropped on purpose to demonstrate how not to fill a frame. Also, I need some adult diapers to handle all that blowout.
Actually, neither of these were taken with the 10-22. But [...]
Why haven’t rent-a-bikes caught on in the US yet?
38 and 39 are what people look and feel like after trying to keep up with Grace on a full day of tourism. She draws energy from the space-time continuum itself and gets stronger with every sight she sees. I never thought keeping up with a 60-year [...]
Grace loves Steve Ricks. Or was it Rick Stevens?
Avast! Leonard smiles!
Teaching my mom how to tighten up a portrait, by running towards the lens.
“Mom, you’re standing too far away. You gotta stand closer. Closer! CLOSER! Forget it, I’m coming to you!”
Only a few hours from the new year here in Granada and everything is [...]
