The criss crossing creek
Gorgeous
Sunset casting a shadow on the creek
I tricked my iPhone into giving me better lighting 
More gravity propelled creek
A basin shaped fountain. Water drips down and flows down to the creek. Gravity powered fountain. 

How many museums are as beautiful as the art within them?

Photography exhibit 

Ansel Adams amazing "pure photography"

Sculptures outside the museum exhibits change regularly 
There are a lot of stairs, but even the stairs are beautiful 

Love the architecture

How did scribes have such neat handwriting and where have these skills gone in today's society?
Ancient music notes. Wow!

Beautiful view of the Los Angeles Skyline
Oh look there's the 5 freeway! It looks much better from far away then when you are stuck in its traffic.
Our study terrace
Pretty mountain view 
Love the pink border
Even the elevator is pretty 
So many great places to sit and chat

Sharp edges
Wide open spaces
And me
Quiet pool(e)

It's almost as if he's pointing the way as we head home.
I couldn't resist taking a picture of this cute couple trying to get a picture of themselves. I'm not a creeper!
People are beautiful too. 
Goodbye Getty!

The Matrix, Simulacra and Comedy?

I won't be modest, I think I'm freakin hillarious. On those magic moments when others agree with me, it does occur every so often, life is good. I love making people laugh. But sadly many of my jokes go unnoticed, or are misunderstood. Take this one in my Critical Theory class today. The class is a dull fest. Honestly intellectual discussions on the theories of critical theorists, theorizing how we best should theorize literature and literature theories. What? Yep that's what we discuss everyday. I did find one good use for the study of these theories though. They inspire great ideas for movies, and thats where my joke came from. For instance "The Matrix", pretty much the most awesome action sci-fi flick of our time, was based of Jean Baudrillard's writing on "Simulacra". Who knew these writers actually got their crazy ideas from their boring college classes? Mrs. Park if your reading this, I am sorry, it's not you, really it's not. I...

I'm an Adult! I'm Not Apart of Your System. I Don't Need a Credit Card!

I've been told by so many friends, family members and financial gurus about how we all need credit cards in order to get by these days. They say without a credit card we can't get an apartments, a house or other loans. More and more these days decisions seem to be based on your credit score. They say because of that we should get a few credit cards and just be very responsible with them. I respectfully disagree. I believe the system is designed to make you think you need a credit card to survive because they want you to get one and fail. It's a flawed system so I say let's boycott it. First, the whole credit score thing is a made number by the companies who give out credit. It's not even on your credit reports from transunion, experian and Equifax. Yes the score represents useful information such as whether you make payments on time, but all the checks and boxes that show whether you have good credit are designed by the credit card companies themselves. Think t...

My love/hate relationship with Hello Fresh, an honest review & why they're still worth a try!

By -

       Hello Fresh is a meal/cooking delivery kit that I was excited to try. It's one of those boxes where they send you pre-portioned ingredients, with recipe cards and you cook it yourself. I love these types of boxes because they are fun, help you learn cooking skills, let you try new recipes and usually taste amazing!      So why the love/hate relationship? Well, first let me say  this review though stated strongly will be my honest review including what is good, bad and ugly about this service. I actually have a lot of good things to say, which I think is why I sometimes feel like I hate them because some of their tactics and methods just have so much room for improvement that it makes it hard to continue a regularly monthly membership. They are more like a fling you try again every three months.       I have tried 3 separate subscription with them because over the years as I move houses they keep sending me discounts in t...
