As Independence Approaches
So it has been a little while since I have blogged. Well, maybe not, but it seems like ages. Life down here in San Clemente is nice. The weather is getting nicer and even warmer. My coworkers and I go running everyday at lunch, so my fitness level has increased and I have had more energy, which is nice.
Work is going well. Some people will be leaving work because their contracts are up. There will have to be a lot of changes made because of these people leaving, but I think we will be able to manage. Animation ended last week, so the second floor of building 204 is pretty empty, but as people are getting shifted around and moved into other departments that space is getting filled up. The TD department will soon be moved into the MOCAP stage. I think that will be a really cool place to work. We will have to be careful that we don't knock any cameras over. What I am really hoping for is some time to play with the cameras ourselves.
Last weekend I took another trip to Joshua Tree. The first time was pretty spontaneous, so there was not a lot of time to prepare and I didn't plan on spending the night, so I went by myself. The following Monday Helge saw the photo I took from Joshua Tree on my desktop. I felt bad because He, Adam and I were planning on going another day, but we didn't. So I planned another trip to go, this time we would spend a night. It was a really fun trip. We spent the first day climbing around the rocks. Graham was pretty crazy and followed me up most of the routes I went up. I was all ready with my climbing shoes and chalk and he was wearing a long sleeve shirt and some old sneakers. I couldn't believe he actually followed my up a lot of the routes I was going.
After we climbed around the rocks for a while we went back into town bought some firewood and then had dinner. After dinner we headed back to Ryan Mountain Campground. Once we got there we started off our hike to watch the sun set. We climbed up a rock formation at one end of the valley, so we had a sweet view from where we were sitting.
After watching the sunset we set up the camp and got a fire going. Then it was time to sit around and relax. I distinctly remember people saying things about "querying the fire for logs with the latest modified date" to find the last log put in. I think some people have what they call in Chinese a 职业病 (zhiyebing) ... an occupational disease. After sitting around the fire it was time to head to bed. Adam, Helge and I shared his tent, but Aaron and Graham were crazy enough to climb on some of the rocks in the camp and sleep on them. Those nutty guys were up there all night. Luckily none of the lizards or snakes came out to eat their faces off. The weather was nice enough
