Berkeley – HOME SWEET HOME

I love Berkeley.

I’m currently doing my take-home final. I had to stop by Blockbuster to rent a couple of films to watch for the final. The homeless guy, who I’ve seen standing at that same corner in front of Blockbsuter for the past 10 years, asked me for some change, but I promised him I’d give him dollar on the way out. But I forgot that I don’t carry cash on me anymore and I paid with ATM. Next time around, big guy.

I hate Berkeley.

Berkeley recently installed all of these roundabouts in the city to curb pedestrian accidents and improve road safety. What a hassle. I can see why roundabouts would be installed since there are so many bad drivers in the Bay Area, but damn. My short cuts through Berkeley are no longer short cuts because of the time it takes to get around these things that take up more than 50% of the intersection. Damn!

Yesterday, I drove by and saw this cute jogger. The only reason I’m pointing the jogger out is because I was impressed. This chick is hardcore because she was (1) jogging in a part of Berkeley I wouldn’t walk by myself at and she was (2) doing it at dusk. She has guts.

I must finish my final, so I can start doing other useless things. Expect a major D&L update. I’m fixing a lot of bugs in the WordPress themes I downloaded. It might take a while.

I think I’m gonna start a new D&L media page. I’m using Ourmedia to host the video files that D&L has made over the years. I’ll include more when the site is revamped. Here are the links to what I uploaded so far: Lake Tahoe, Prank On Brad
