gemma's diary for sept. 18

check out gemma correll’s daily diaries!

Jula, Elaine and I went to Disneyland for the day! It was a lot hotter than last time, but the rides (the ones that weren’t shut down) had short lines and we had an excellent lunch at Café Orleans – gumbo, delicious salads, Mickey-shaped beignets!

Terry, Jula, Tiffani, Alex and I hit the LA County Fair and had a good time – except for the 100 degree heat. Spent a lot of time in the exhibition halls looking at ‘as seen on tv’ products, and stumbled across an animatronic dinosaur exhibit.

see alex’s video of fair highlights.

At Warwick, right around the corner from Jula’s house. After this we hit Barrigan’s for the $2.50 margaritas and giant tamales.

friends, take notice.

i was going back and looking through my favorite’d photos on flickr, and found this photo from olivia leigh:

The Return of the Pink

it is the third photo i ever marked as a favorite on flickr, back when i joined in summer 2005. i loved the symmetry, the texture of the ceiling, and the different light temperatures. i was surprised to see this in my favorites – it was so long ago i didn’t remember marking it, and i took some similar photos of the DC metro myself (it’s a big draw for photographers, i think!):
