Sushi Land
We have all been eating at Sushi Land soo much lately. I even got an app for my phone that helps me identify the sushi and pronounce it correctly. Sushi is amazing. This video features Josh, Cassandra, Katrina, me, and her parents.

Sitting at work looking through my manager paperwork. I have been working on this notebook to keep all of my papers and things directly related to managing organized and neat for quick reference. It is looking pretty good. Just made little tabs for each divider. You may be wondering, among other things, why I am blogging at such an odd time. Well, I can’t really say why, but I can say that I will be here till 6am and I’m glad i bought a cookie and coffee drink to keep me awake.
In other news, I am blogging from my new phone. The iPhone 3G S. I am really digging this thing. So happy I switched over to AT&T for it. Pretty much in gadget heaven.
In other HUGE news, Katrina surprised me with a very special birthday gift……. 1st Class Tickets for her and I to fly down to LA next week for 5 days!!!!! I seriously can’t believe it. The excitement of visiting everyone is growing bigger and bigger everyday. I am so excited. I can’t wait to take her on the “Important Places in Brad’s Life” tour.
Here is a scene from my night. Adult Swim makes think of all the good times Omar and I had staying up too late and drinking IBC root beer.

Yosemite Valley
I finally got some film developed that I had sitting around. It had about 1 dozen photos on it from a trip to Yosemite I went on back in the fall of 2007. I think that is when it was. Tisa and Kevin were getting married, the leaves were changing into all sorts of amazing fall colors, the weather was perfect, a big group of our friends were all there together, and the only thing we had to do was enjoy hanging out and have a blast at their wedding. Such a good time. I wonder why I didn’t take more photos with this roll. Weird. There were two pictures that came out good enough to put on my Flickr. Click the photo to see the other one. This one is nice because it captures the feeling of that morning. The weather was cool and the mountains looked grey. Matt Pool and I climbed up a bunch of rocks and then I took this picture once we had climbed up pretty high. You can see half dome in the background. Yosemite is soo great.

Remember Me
A flower that we picked from Discovery Park. We had a nice picnic on a bridge that day.
Our collection of Hug Photos is growing more and more. Sometime soon there will be a collection posted somewhere online for all to see.
We went to Lush and met this really nice guy that showed us so many neat products. We went with this nice fresh feeling mask with crushed almonds in it. Not only did we wear it together and relax, but Katrina watched Seinfeld with me while we waited for the masks to dry. Amazing girl.
Tonight at Craft Night Amber baked a delicious Carrot Cake. Jonathan, Tai, Jenna and I all ate a lot of it. We did however remember to save some for Brian. I sewed two buttons back onto my comforter cover thing. Hopefully now my comforter won’t keep trying to fall out the bottom of the cover.
The biggest drywall repair job I have taken on since I started the job. I think it was about 43 inches by 23 inches. 1/2 thick drywall. I added extra 2×4s into the wall as sort of added support to the studs. I think this will help prevent future kicks and punches from actually breaking the wall. Fingers crossed.

This guy found this painting before I had a chance to buy it, but i had to take a picture because I liked it so much. Sometimes thrift stores have the coolest art.

Kenny and I met this guy Conner and went over to his house to jam a little. It was pretty cool. Kenny has gotten so good at piano it’s awesome. He has been making friends everywhere he goes. Seattle is welcoming him more and more each day.

La Pasadita truck inside the 76 station parking lot off the 5 freeway across from Northgate. They make a really good veggie taco for 1.20 each. I wish they sold Mexi-Coke. This is my current favorite place to get tacos. Open from 10am to 10pm

Skates
Last Tuesday Katrina and I had this whole day planned to drive down to Centralia. It was going to be great. We met up and began our drive down I-5, and we were about 15 minutes away from home when we heard a huge smash of some sort that also sounded super close. It was close. It was a piece of wood that the truck next to us didn’t tie down properly. It flew out and completely smashed and shattered my back windshield. We quickly pulled off the freeway and assessed the damage. We decided we had to drive back home, but instead we drove to her parent’s house because it was closer to where we were. They were also home and were a huge help. They had a friend that fixes wind shields, so I called my insurance and they had everything set up super quick. Connie and Dan Ong, Katrina’s parents, were a huge help and passed along blessings to me that I am very grateful for. I owe them one. Plus I owe them a trip to Sushi Land, where they took us for lunch after the car stuff. The sushi goes around the restaurant on a belt and you just grab what you want. It was really good.
Katrina and I decided to skip the drive to Centralia. Instead we got dropped off in Ballard and hung out here. We took a trip up to Lynnwood Skate and Bowl. My friend Damien had taken a picture of a photobooth up there that looked really promising, so we wanted to go check it out. It turned out to be one of the best ones I had ever seen. We took two sets of pictures and then some other fun photos around the inside of the roller rink. You click the picture above and it will take you to the rest of the set from our day there. I will scan some of them soon and post them here. The day turned out to be really fun, even though we didn’t go on our day trip. We are going to do a makeup day trip soon.
