wally's sandwich shop stopped offering QUITE POSSIBLY the BEST sandwich deal EVER. that's right, NO MORE five dollar subs on fridays. they still offer a competitive price on good subs with whatever you want on them for the same price, but their atmosphere hasn't gotten any better-in fact it's gotten worse. so if i go there again, it will be my stomach's decision, not my brain's or my wallet's.

{fighter maker}
this is a clip someone made using the old computer game "fighter maker", in which the player has to program all of their fighter's moves. totally worth it.

{morning adventure}
i didn't go to bed last night. at around 5:50am or so, i ate a piece of toast and walked outside in bare feet. the sunrise was so breathtaking. i mean, really stunning. i had to go back and get my camera. i also put on my flip flops as i didn't plan on talking a walk.
as i live at the top of a hill, however, i naturally made my way down to the waterfront at the bottom. the quality of light this morning made everything crisp and pop out like 3-D glasses. the clouds were perfect. the water was still and more clear than normal, and reflected the sky like a mural.
crossing the bridge to downtown, i spotted an otter reclining in a little cove separated by the old train tracks. then i saw two more swimming around the inlet. i kept walking downtown. a guy went by on his bmx bike and did a sweet jump right in front of me.
i began examining every storefront as though i had never seen them before. capital city guitars has some ridiculously nice fenders right now, and a gorgeous silvertone. i passed by new moon cafe at 6:30am; they open at 7:00am. i kept going down 4th ave, and made it to the artesian well. it still gets me every time; totally free water, flowing all the time out of a copper pipe in a parking lot that no one really uses for parking.
i walked by the free wall and checked out the latest coats of spray paint. a man walking his pug without a leash came by, and the dog barked like i had offended him. i made it back to new moon at 6:55am, waited around for 5 minutes, and was the first one inside. i got the halo sandwich (egg, tomato, avocado, ham --> english muffin) and a short stack of pancakes, which was way too much food, but i ate it all. had i know the special i would have ordered the black metal pancakes. i sat there for an hour, drawing, talking to the waitress a little, and just soaking in what a classic cafe scene the new moon became with each new customer.
i left at exactly 8:01am, and as i walked back across the bridge, i saw more great blue herons than i have fingers. then i stared at what i soon realized was an adult bald eagle perched atop a pole in the middle of the inlet. i skidded down an embankment in my sandals down under the bridge to the train tracks to get a better look. i met several homeless men, and told them about the eagle, which seemed to surprise them less than my being there. i got a little ways out towards the bird, and it flew off, revealing its white tail feathers and six-foot wingspan.
i kept walking since i had come that far. i ended up in a construction zone, and walked out of it and straight onto the garfield nature trail. it was actually a shortcut to my street. i got home at 8:52am, just in time to say hello to my roommate before he caught the bus to work.

{distortion}
none of these have been photoshoped. i own a haunted Canon PowerShot S410. sometimes, but not always, it distorts an image it captures, often beyond recognition, and completely leaves me out of the decision making process. but i love her so.
