and that means a mega post. Thanksgiving is well behind us now, and Christmas is looming before us, yet I need to touch on both. My first major holidays away from home sans Donohoes, oh my goodness! Actually scratch that, Thanksgiving was Donohoe filled, with my cousin, and her mother and step-father. My cousin lives with four other roommates in a beautiful home in north Pacific Beach and we had a massive feast for about 20 people. Mary and Jim provided a wonderful feast from Vons for us in addition to many side dishes prepared by another girl plus many bottles of delicious vino. With any good festive occasion, many stories were shared, drinks were downed, and laughter filled moments abounded. Some pictures from the day:

typical boys on the holiday--watching football
megs and TC getting pumped about the food.
the other turkey was deep fried. what?!
catch phrase.
so a woman dressed as a turkey walks into a bar...
not as comfortable in front of the camera as i am behind it.
good friends and buddies. candid.
The day before the holiday I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Laguna Beach. Amy's flight to San Francisco was out of the John Wayne Airport in Orange County, and I figured I was already in the neighborhood, why not check it out? Of course any girl my age wants to visualize LC and Stephen and Kristen's home in real life, so thanks MTV. However early morning Laguna was visually stunning with an eerie quietness before traffic jams and holiday madness began. Laguna is really a tiny beach town, complete with a beach path, many hippies, and breathtaking sunshine. Some shots:
awesome store fronts in laguna
path along the beach.

ok, maybe 2 snapshots personify ca.
quiet Laguna
After the whirlwind day driving back to PB and the wonderful thanksgiving holiday, I worked and worked and worked some more. Currently getting really pumped for the Holiday Hootenanny concert on December 12th at UCSD which is featuring Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Spoon, Manchester Orchestra, and White Rabbits. Also, Amy's boyfriend Andy is coming out, which is really exciting because I haven't seen him since graduation and his personality is absolutely hilarious. Should be a great time. I'll finish this post with two things I have found on the Internet recently, both of which make me really smile.
Thing from the Internet part 1:
This website what-song.com goes through an entire movie and tells you what song is playing. You know how movie soundtracks include the big songs from the movie, but what if you like a song during a car ride or other random scene: those songs are never on the soundtracks. But now, behold a website filled with this wonderful information! Also, the screen shot that this is taken from is for the movie Adventureland, great quirky movie with fabulous music, especially this song by the Rolling Stones called "Tops". I love discovering old artists songs I have never heard before.
Thing from the Internet part 2:
Colby James West is not only a great skier, but also
one hilarious dude who is extremely skilled at voices. On his new website, he puts up a new video every week with new characters, old movie clips, and events in the ski industry. From "My Friend is a Pro" to MSP segments to after parties, it's like watching YouTube for ski nerds like myself.
Enjoy my new favorite song to belt out....peace.
