Now, Back to the Lecture at Hand....

Okay, I've realized that I officially SUCK at this blogging thing. I don't post enough, and far too much runs through my head for me to form solid entries on a regular basis, and I can't really find my focus, or so that will serve as my excuse. Yet I forge on, and that should count for something.

I am an Angeleno and am attempting to blog as one, so let's do this thing, yes? After hearing about the devastating earthquake in Chile that registered as one of the largest the world has ever seen at a magnitude 8.8, and after hearing that tsunami effects were going to hit the Southern California coast, I decided it would be a nice day to have lunch at the Sidewalk Cafe on the Venice Beach boardwalk. Granted, it was a rainy day, but the showers were sporadic and I just had to see these larger than normal waves. Well, lunch was excellent as can be expected from the Sidewalk Cafe, especially when coupled with their '405 Freeway' found on the California Natural Disasters drink menu, but the tsunami effects on the swell totally ruined the buzz.

Here's a clip of the surf at Venice Beach, taken during the advisory for tsunami effects on the coast. Breathtaking...*Yawn*





But I did get a nice shot of Santa Monica and the mountain range from the skate park...
