A long weekend stands before me, for four days I have no work, and no repsonsibilities. Starting early tomorrow morning I set out on a long journey, a great adventure.
I venture forth to the uncharted north of the Republic of California, and into the wilds of Oregon. For during my time off I will visit the silent giants standing along the shores of the pacific, explore a cave, and visit an island of wizards.
I plan to document my adventures through pictures and text but it we shall see how things go. With that I shall head to rest before I begin my journey early on the morrow.

I just want you to know who I am
It's been a while since I made a post. Now where do I start. I've been both busy with work and yet had nothing to do while at work? Strange Huh?
Outside of work I've been busy as well. On the WoW front my guild has managed to make it to the final boss of Black Wing Lair, Nefarian. So far after about 5 tries we have him down to phase 2 so we're doing pretty well.
In the real world I've been to a few LAN parties, woke up at the crack of dawn to watch the world cup, and been to a concert in the last couple of weeks. Of those I have to say last night's concert was probably the most fun I've had in the last week or so. I went to the Goo Goo Dolls/Counting Crows summer tour concert held at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Of the two bands I enjoyed the Goo Goo Dolls the most. I'm just not as into the music of the Counting Crows. This was the first time I've seen either of these groups live and I have to say they have a totally different dynamic. During a live show the music has more more energy and yet many of the songs had a different slower pace.
Now I need to decide if I liked the music well enough to buy their latest CD. I almost did the night of the concert but the "merchant booth" was charing over $15 and I wasn't sure if the extra cost ws going to the band or some third party.
I'd upload a few pictures of the concert except I managed to leave my camera at work and so didn't take any :(. I tried to take some photos on my cellphone but it really doesn't work that well.

Uni-Man
On the way to work today I saw someone with a sweet ride on their way to work. It wasn't a ferrari, lotus, porsche, or maserati (those are a dime a dozen).
What I saw was a guy riding a unicycle.

Photo Time!
Today I have a bunch of pictures to post. First I have a bunch of pictures of the top of Donner Pass which is at about 7,000 feet. This pass is crossed by I-80 as you enter California from Nevada.
I have a few more pictures of the pass but I need to find a good place to host a photo album.
In addition to these last photos of my trip I have a few pictures of my apartment.
Finally I have a closeup of that set of Katana's you can see in the first photo. My Dad purchased these for me in Chinatown when he went in the San Francisco Tuesday. They look kinda cool and the whole set cost $26 after tax! If you pull them out the appear to be steal and a bit greasy. They really remind me of practice blades for Iaido but less practical.
