Video Vriday

Instead of photos, this Friday I’m posting some short videos I made with my cellphone camera. These were all taken in downtown San Luis Obispo. They’re short, and the quality’s not the best. But I think they’re perfect for Flickr’s new video sharing service. Hope you enjoy them.

Photo Friday

There was no Photo Friday last week. As I posted, it was Halo’s fault. But Photo Friday is back (for now).

We recently stopped into Leon’s Bookstore here in SLO. I snapped a few photos of the place as it’s due to close forever at the end of the month. Like many of the older businesses downtown, Leon’s has to close while its building receives an earthquake retrofit. And like many businesses, it won’t be returning after the retrofit is completed.

Construction is omnipresent around here these days. This electronic sign states that our road will be closed from April 18th through May 2nd for construction. (Jen is very frustrated over this closure, as it’ll cause her to have to take an alternate route to work.)

Food review: Louisa’s Place

A few weeks back, I stopped into Louisa’s Place, a restaurant in downtown San Luis Obispo. Like with my previous food review, I was placing an order to go. I took a seat at the restaurant’s lunch counter:

I had looked at a menu outside, and I knew what I wanted to get. I placed my order with the cashier, and after a short wait received my food. The cashier said she couldn’t find any bags, so I wound up cradling this collection of containers out the door:

It’s all Halo’s fault

I haven’t been updating much because I’ve been dedicating most of my free time to Halo. I’m pretty sure I’m almost at the end of the game, so I should be adding more to this site soon. In the meantime, here’s a Monty Python/Halo mashup video that I didn’t make:

UPDATE: I finished the game about an hour after I posted this.
