Megan and I headed up to the Observatory on a chilly Saturday night to see the Super Perigee Moon – a full moon that appears to be 14% larger than normal due to it occuring when the moon is at the point in its orbit when it is closest to Earth. It was breathtaking, and my only regret was that I didn’t have a faster lens or a rock to brace my camera upon.

Slide the bar across the photo to see what these areas of Japan looked like before the earthquake and tidal wave, and what they look like now. Japan Before and After Tsunami

Now begins that curious month of my life when I know every record, seed, standing, and game time for a sport. Let the March Madness begin!

I just put this in my face and it was fantastic.

We flew to Sydney and checked into the InterContinental, which was extremely nice. We had a view of the Museum of Sydney and the Royal Botanic Gardens. At dinner time we ran into Hector and Heidi and we all walked through Circular Quay to the German restaurant at the Rocks. We had a great time drinking and singing and Heidi said the apfelstrudel was some of the best she’d ever had. After dinner we walked back at a leisurely pace and took photos of the bridge, Opera House and big Chinese New Year tigers. Then Mom and I wandered across towards the Gardens and I got a few photos of the Conservatorium of Music.

Saw her at Aroma Coffee & Tea Co in Studio City. I was there with a bunch of friends and she walked in looking very Penelope Garcia (and totally adorable) with a guy I didn’t recognize. I tried to play it cool and probably failed.
