Orange you having fun?

A few pictures from my visit to la-la land, courtesy of Elizabeth. These were taken in Orange, CA (get the title? hah :). Matt was walking around us and randomly taking pictures like a paparazzi, and then we had this “photo shoot”. In the middle of the mall. There will be more once Matt uploads his photos.

I guess only one of us was really ready for this, but it's still fun. That's Matt and Elizabeth. Possible album cover?

photo
Matt animates things and drors things. He was taking pictures from different angles, ergo sitting on the ground. We had just bought candy and it was about this time that I think he said “I squished my jelly bellies” or “I sat on my jelly bellies”, which was quite humorous.

This is pretty awesome, for reasons I don't fully know. I think I said “Stop taking pictures of my bald spot” and he said “which one?”

Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Matt with a camera!

When I saw this, my caption comment was “What is that strange Matt person doing?” because, well, she had said things along those lines that day. But Elizabeth assures me that she was giving me this look. Huh, well that's a first.

Bonfire
The bonfire Saturday night. I think this looks really good full-size.

The Cool Kids
Myssi, Laura, and me. Cool kids? Well... 2 out of 3.

Touchdown?
Doug was excited to be burning stuff. Who wouldn't be?

Sunday I went to Brown County with Myssi, Laura, Jon, Eric, and David [reverse alphabetical order this time, kids. Chill out.] We ate lunch in town and proceeded to the state park, where we did the first thing you should always do after eating: ran around and played ultimate frisbee. It was fun, but after sitting down and catching my breath, I started to feel nauseous.

Crushing headache
Laura decided to add insult to... nausea, by crushing my head. It hurt. The nausea passed and I was ok, thankfully. The headache remained, though.

BeaTwin halves
The BeaTwins hijacked my camera (a few times) and had a self-picture accident. They were cut in half, as you can see.

BeaTwins
We were able to sew them back together, though. They're still photogenic; you can hardly notice the scars.

Eric
Eric doesn't like his photograph being taken, so we take what we can get. He loves to take photographs, though.

On the trail
Some of the group walking around the lake. Eric took the lead and pointed out these things called “trees” to us. He's a smart guy.

Incredible Strength
These rocks almost crushed us on the trail, until the BeaTwins jumped in there and saved us with their incredible strength.

Lakeside
The lakeside.

David aka Bigfoot
This is David but... he's blurry and doesn't like his picture being taken, so I think that makes him Bigfoot, doesn't it?

Swings!
Preparing for a swing race...

Swings!
...somebody needed a push.

Laura and Eric

Whittling
David demonstrates how not to whittle a hot dog stick.

Myssi demonstrates how to whittle a hot dog stick. She does it professionally.

Laura and me
Laura: *skurred* Me: “What's your deal, Laura?”

Jon and me
Jon and me on self-timer, waiting for the self-timer on the other camera for the group shot.

Interesting photos

I found a very interesting photo set (via Lew Rockwell Blog) of an abandoned city in Russia:

When the Soviet Union collapsed, government didn't have much funds to support some small cities around strategically import objects. People of these cities were left all by themselves. Nobody could support them because any communication with this places terminated after the army decided that they now don't have money to support those objects.
