My sister went to a game or two and she said it was nuts, even outside the stadium. I believe it.

A long weekend of sun, swimming, cooking, drinking, and dancing did me well. Looking forward to posting more actively in June.

Also looking forward to watching more movies. Got off to a good start last night by finally catching up with Volver — more than five years after I rented the DVD from Blockbuster Video (February 11, 2009).

Silly question. How can i upload photos so they're small but when you click on them they change to their original size? Like Bondo's post here.

Code it like this: [img height=x]http://web address[/img]. You can also do width but just doing height adjusts the width accordingly too.

If you quote Bondo's post, you'll see he added "width=400" to adjust the size.

I quoted Bondo's post and saw the code he used. I can't get it to work though. It only makes it smaller. It doesn't get larger when i click on it.

Ah nevermind. It works. Just not in preview. Thanks for the help. I'll be uploading some Japan photos soon.

We'll be in San Diego for a week with a family friend from Germany. We're gonna do beach stuff and go to Disney.  :D

A lot of restaurants have plastic models out the front of their menu.



Kinkaku-ji temple. A cool gold temple.









Inside the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims.



The view from Osaka Castle.



Osaka Castle.



Sumida Sky building. The only way to get to the roof is to cross these escalator tubes.



The view from the roof of the sky building.



The view from our hotel room in Osaka. The garden rooftop is Namba Parks.







A place called Happo-en. A small garden in the city. We just missed a wedding.















My favourite restaurant from Tokyo/Japan. Negashi Cow Tongue. The grilled chicken was amazing.



The roof of the Ghibli Museum. A pretty lame museum overall.



We managed to catch one last cherry blossom tree.

Apologies for the long post. These are just a few of the couple thousand photos i have.  :D
