State of Emergency
Good day. Good week. The post holidays blahs don’t seem that bad this year. The fact that is was 80° the day after Christmas probably helped, LOL. We’re actually in a “cold” snap now though. On the way over to Atwater Village tonight I heard that our “esteemed” governor has declared a “Cold Weather Emergency“. I almost had to pull over I was laughing so hard!
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today declared a state of emergency throughout California because of the cold snap gripping the state. “I have directed state agencies to activate the extreme temperature protocols established last year to assist the most vulnerable populations in the state and asked local governments and the people of California to take common sense precautions in the unseasonably cold weather,” Schwarzenegger said in his declaration.
“Extreme temperature protocols”??? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. It was about 60° F (16° C) today! Granted it was colder up north and in the mountains, but geez louise, they’re used to it. This state does crack me up sometime. Arnold’s from Austria. I’m from Chicago. Newsflash: This ain’t cold!
“It was so cold in LA today the people were huddled around the remains of Suzanne Somers smoldering house just to stay warm” Jimmy Kimmell
Skyped and webcam’d with Daniel in Germany for a while tonight. He’s really doing well in his internship, and I’m so proud of him. It’s like my little brother’s growing up. He was mixing a new song tonight. It’s all in German, but it’s quite catchy. Check it out:

After that I went to Seth & Jessica’s house for dinner. We had a really nice time. Hannah’s walking all over the place now (and has the vocabulary of a 10 year old!), and the dogs get so jealous when I pay her any attention! Take a look:
After the baby went to bed we had a great dinner: Rosemary chicken, wild rice and zucchini. After dinner the conversation turned to the whole nature/nurture, doctor vs. ditchdigger discussion. Seth seemed to side with Eva’s position, while Jessica and I were more in synch (as usual). We also watched some of Tyson’s and Macky’s videos, because Seth got a Rubik’s cube for Christmas. They couldn’t believe their eyes! I told Seth about Tyson’s tutorial, but he had the right idea already, and wanted to see if he could do it on his own.

I discovered that website today after writing a response on Tyson’s blog. To be such an amazing photographer at such a young age is quite impressive. Lots of props to him! He’s got a great eye (like Matthias and Perry). I’m curious to know what kind of SLR he uses. His twin brother is a photographer too. Speaking of Perry (my college roommate), check out the new Hasselblad. WOW.
It’s as cool looking as the iPhone…and it’s digital!
And finally: The Human Clock
