Mount Hamilton

Another hike we started waaaay too late in the day. Though we were only there for twenty minutes, we encountered a bunch of herding cows, sweeping vistas of the green hills during sunset, and cold wind (the reason why we only hiked for a short while). And we managed to snap a few shots. Here's one...

Yosemite Winter 2008

I finally got to see Yosemite blanketed in a thin layer of snow. Though I wasn't able to experience it immediately after a storm, which I'm determined to do one of these days, it was still breathtaking. We were there for a weekend. We stayed in Curry Village overnight in a heated cabin. This was great because all food, toiletries, and anything with a scent didn't have to go in a bear locker! That made it extremely convenient! Well, don't want to bore you with little details, so real quick... We strolled down to Mirror Lake to find that there really isn't a lake there at this time and walking on snow without snowshoes or hiking poles is not easy. Had dinner that night at the Yosemite Lodge. Beautiful photographs of Yosemite are on display and are on sale. But beware! Some cost $2000+!! The next morning, went to the deli to get some lunch. Good sandwiches and coffee and hot chocolate! Drove to Mariposa Grove for some more hiking in the snow. Thank goodness we had poles with us this time, but without snowshoes, we fell into the knee-deep snow numerous times. It was particularly bad for Keith because of a recent back injury. Made a poor attempt of making a snow angel. OK! So here are some pics...

Say it Right

Nelly Furtado's "Say it Right" always makes me laugh. Not because it's funny, but it's because I can't make out the lyrics. And whatever I CAN make out, doesn't make any sense! I've been wanting to write about this for some time now, and finally managed to squeeze some time in to tell you what I hear. This is what I make of the lyrics:

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it on
Either you got it or you don't
If you stand on your phone
And your will is it broken
When you slip from my hand
And there is no time for joking
There is old in the can

Oh you don't need no nothing at all from me
Oh you don't need no nothing at all from me
Oh you don't want to take it sit for free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can say is that I mind that I'm lost on the phone
I can say that I don't love you like any guard
I can say that I don't know that I am alive
And I love what I feel I can show you my night (you my night)

Chorus

From my hands I could give you somethin' that I made
From my bowels I can sing you another Brit that I made
From my body I can show you a play God knows
You should no space is holding, do you really wanna go?
______________________________

Okay, now here are the real lyrics:

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
You either got it or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is all broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean no-nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean no-nothing at all to me
But, you got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean e-everything to me

I can't say that I’m not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don’t love the light and dark
I can't say that I don’t know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight

Chorus

From my hands I could give you, something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another bridge that I made
From my body I can show you a place
God knows
You should know this place is holy, do you really wannna go?

Wow!! I'm very surprised to find that some of the lyrics I thought I heard and thought are completely absurd is in fact... CORRECT!!! Wudduya know!! LOL!!

Dream 10 - Armpits and Vaginas

The other night, I had a really strange dream. I dreamed that I was plucking my armpit hairs. (That part is normal.) I finished the right side so proceeded to the left. When I lifted up my arm, I saw swollen red bumps in my armpit. Woah! What's that?! And then I saw a two chunks of skin sticking out above these bumps. They were long, like a canoe. They looked like lips of a vagina! EEWW!! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?! Curious to see if there's anything in the opening, I spread it apart with my thumb and index finger and could hear the rush of my blood inside. And I had TWO of these! Two vaginas in my armpit! This wasn't normal. "Hm... I should probably see the doctor."

No, I don't REALLY have vaginas or red bumps in my armpits. It was just a dream. Thank goodness! I can't even imagine...
