View from a parking garage

I haven't updated in a while, other than this blog and the previous 2 posts...

I have a backlog of posts from various places. So when I post, there will be a shiteload of entries and pics. (update on 5/16 - I just posted a bunch; you'll have to scroll down)

These photos below were taken last week from the parking structure of the Otay Mesa Kaiser. I thought I had pinkeye last Monday. Thank goodness it was just an inflammation, not an infection! Yeah, what a relief that was...Ha. The doctor gave me some drops and I was fine.

It was wierd not being at work in the morning. I'm always cooped up in my office. Going to the doctor's was actually a treat for me that day. From my vantage point in the parking garage, you could see the lovely smog and Point Loma in the distance. In the foreground, the west side of the 805 (and some sort of churchlike building) off of Main Street.
Panning to the right...the 805 and the (fairly) new shopping center from the Main Street/Auto Park entrance. The stores include Kohl's, Baby's 'R Us (my co-worker spotted Gwen Stefani there with her baby and bodyguard a few weeks ago shopping!!!), Panda Express, Pier 1, Souplantation and one of those chain pet stores. This area used to be a junk yard!!! In the immediate foreground is a farm. No crops this time.
Another view east of the former junkyard. The land where Kaiser resides used to be called "Dirt Canyon" where the locals would ride their BMX's and ATV's or 4x's...
If you continue east, you'd hit the Coors Ampitheatre and the Knotts Soak City Water Park (not pictured). The mountain is Mount Miguel I believe.

I saw the left handed notebooks at the school bookstore... after buying it I realized that I could have bought a regular notebook and just turned it over... it sure would have been a lot cheaper :P

and Spider-Man 3... I don't know what to rate it since I got so distracted from people laughing at inappropriate times... but from what I saw I thought it was pretty good! A lot of my friends thinks so too. we're going to watch it again at the i-max theater at edwards so I think it's going to be good... I'd rate it... 7 because of the action and the goofy stuff they made Tobey do haha

hi elphie! thanks for visiting!

yeah, i liked the left handed notebooks. the wire part didn't get in my way! i remember there used to be a left handed store in seaport village. not sure if it's still there.

that sucks that those people ruined the movie for you guys. i'm sure bert will like the movie. we plan to see it but after the hype dies down. then he wants to see the new fantastic 4 movie (with the silver surfer) when that comes out...by the way, kirsten dunst has bad teeth.

chrissy
it's been pretty busy at work. i'm so tired when i get home! just one more month left!

I can't wait until they build a back road that will go from Main Street through the Ocean View Hills Community to Palm Ave.
