I have a bit of a packrat tendancy sometimes. As such, I have kept my vouchers from every day I did extra work here in LA. Here are my first 228 days of extra work, over a four year period.

Been going through the archive of “almost-blogged” videos from before I actually started editing and posting stuff. Posting it now and starting a project I’ve had in my head for a while: Retrovlogging!

I took me a while to post, but here we go with March’s 12 of 12.

IMG_2507
11:10 am - The clock says 10:10, but this clock still hasn’t been set forward for Daylight Savings Time. I’m thinking of not setting it forward so I can have just one clock that doesn’t buy into this ridiculous Spring Forward business.

IMG_2509
11:29 am - Walking up the hill to the observatory.
IMG_2511
1:03 pm - Local Noon at the Gottlieb Transit Corridor at Griffith Observatory. At local noon, when the sun reaches it’s highest point in the sky, it’s light is focused through a lens onto the Meridian Arc (pictured here) when it crosses the center of the arc, we can tell from the gradated marks what time of year it is.
IMG_2515
3:37 pm - The big screen in the Depths of Space has the live NASA feed from the current shuttle mission, STS-123. The Space Shuttle Endeavor is bringing a new Japanese module and a new Canadian robot to the International Space Station.
IMG_2516
5:30 pm - A fairly hazy day, obstructing the normally spectacular views.
IMG_2518
6:01 pm - Heading home.
IMG_2519
6:38 pm - I get home and add to the large pile of mostly my shoes.
IMG_2520
7:29 pm - Dishes drying.
IMG_2521
8:17 pm - I FINALLY got Cyndi to agree to watch Firefly. We’re on disc 2. Damn you FOX for cancelling Firefly. I loved that show, even though I almost died of heat exhaustion on that set. I’ll have to tell that story some day.
IMG_2524
9:36 pm - Cyndi made rice crispy treats for work tomorrow.
IMG_2525
10:03 pm - Watching South Park.
IMG_2527
10:36 pm - I realized that I didn’t have any actual pictures of me today. Here I am, wrapping up the day at the computer.
