We went to Bass Lake and got wet and cold on a rope swing

this guy decided to try and add something to the rope, instead of doing the backflip he had intended, his leg got wrapped up in the extra rope, and he came sailing back to us on the bank

thats me!

it was a 6 mile round trip hike, but totally worth it. I am in Kansas right now, check back soon for some Kansas photos.

Paul took a lot of these pics

Train Station

2007-09-05T11:45:00.001-07:00

These are pics from a while ago, from way back before I even had a blog. I was riding around West Oakland looking for things to photograph when i stumbled upon the abandoned West Oakland Train Station. The security guard was the nicest guy Ive met in a long time, he showed me how to break in...

First Time Fremont

2007-08-29T16:11:00.000-07:00

This happened a couple weeks ago in Fremont. We went to the arts and wine festival for a bit, then ran away to Niles Canyon, where it was windy, cold, and the river produced fruit and hot dogs. I will definitely make a return trip to this oasis of the south bay. (all photos taken by Ryan Miller)

sick

2007-07-31T10:55:00.000-07:00

On Friday night I went to the Daft Punk concert at the Greek Theatre. It was the best show i have ever been to. However, the thousands of sweaty, stinky, mean raver kids that pushed me around and tried to start fights with Sarah have put me in bed for the past 2 days. I woke up Sunday with a horrible illness, and the only thing I can think to blame is the rolling youth. I havent been sick in about a year, which is a really long time. My immune system is pretty good, so for me to get sick it takes thousands of yucky germ infested children on e.

i got locked out today

coney island

2007-07-16T21:14:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I rode the subway forever and finally got to Coney Island. Ive heard about this place all my life, and recently read it was full of broken down carnival stuff, which happens to be super interesting to me. But something strange happened on the way, I was sitting on the train when this girl says to me,
"are you going to Coney Island?"
I respond, "Yes"
She says, "I hear there is going to be a giant lesbian party. This girl said she handed out 5000 flyers, they are going to take over the beach. Have you heard of it?"
"Um, no."
"Ive never been here before, have you?"
"No"
"Can I go with you? Are you meeting anyone?"
"Um"
"okay!"
So now I have this weird girl following me around. I mean, I didnt necessarily WANT to go to Coney Island by myself, but I didnt have a problem with it, especially when the other option was to go with this awkward girl I dont know.

I try to make the best of things, I try to be possitive about this, I try and make conversation, but it doesnt help. I am being followed by a completely boring, awkward, girl who looks like she is maybe 2o, but her social skills are giving me flash backs to when i was 6, "You wanna be my friend?"

Now I'm thinking of ways to get out of this. I know all I have to do is loose her, since there are tons of people out here, theres no way she will find me again. I feel a little bad about it though, I mean, it seems a little mean, but what else am I going to do? I tried being as boring as possible, we walked for about 15 minutes without a single word between us, I thought maybe she would leave, but it didnt work, then my chance for freedom arrived.
"I want to get some cotton candy, do you mind?" She asks me.
I perk up, "Thats fine, I have to go to the bathroom, I will meet you back here." and i take my chance, I start walking toward the biggest group of people I can find, and I dont stop, I just keep walking. My heart is pounding, I LOST HER!!!!

Thank god. anyway, after ditching the werido, I took these pics.

This roller coaster is the oldest wooden rollercoaster in the US. My problem was, it wasnt really wood. All the support beams were metal, and the track was metal. There were pieces of wood involved, but, I wouldnt really call it a wooden rollercoaster, Oh well.

When I got off, this is what my leg looked like. Its a really great rollercoaster, I would recommend it. I think this happened when I got in the car.

I'm having a good time

Something for everyone

2007-07-13T21:21:00.001-07:00

So, last night I was very tired, so no post, but I will make it up right now.

DAY ONE

2007-07-11T18:30:00.000-07:00

I made it to New York, but didnt feel like carrying my nice camera around and looking like a tourist, so today's photos are not very good quality. I bought a bag today, so tomorrow I will be using my good camera, until then, BLURRY

First stop was the Guggenheim museum. They are doing a massive rehabilitation of the exterior, so it was all covered, however the inside was nice to look at.

this is the Met

The Whitney

Part of "The Summer of Love" Exhibition

Inside Grand Central Station

and Times Square

I am pooped. I only slept 3 hours on the plane last night, walked from 86th to Times square, almost lost my life to a cab driver and now I'm posting a blog.

Check back soon for updates.
love
ashley

these things are GIANT

2007-06-16T19:29:00.000-07:00

My friend Peter brought me and our bikes to this cool park all the way at the west end of 7th street. I think this sign is supposed to say, "port of oakland port view park"

"the cranes are WAAAYYY bigger than i imagined!"

dont eat the fish

this park also has bbq grills and picnic tables...

florida update

2007-06-08T15:15:00.000-07:00

In the past 2 days i noticed that in the 5-10 minutes i spent outside going from the house to the car before going to the airport, i got 9 mosquito bites. NINE. Florida is dangerous.

the beginning of june

2007-06-06T10:34:00.002-07:00

This blog is about the trip that Michelle (my little sister) Paul (my boyfriend) and myself took to Florida to see my dad (Joe) and my aunt (Peg)

This picture happened at the Dallas/ Fort Worth airport during our 2 hour layover.

We found the longest tallest escalator i have ever seen

my lunch
(not that good)

When we arrived in Florida, i was greeted by a very cute and wonderful kitty (Missy)

(Michelle)

This picture isnt that great, i took it meaning it to be a picture of Paul and Dad, but it has turned into a picture illustrating how close the lake was to the house my aunt (Peg) lives in. We are standing in the garage.

this catfish made really weird noises, kind of like a guinea pig

the palm trees here have coconuts!

Boca Grande

We drove three hours to a place called Homestead, "the gateway to the Keys"

santa?

the next day we drove another 3 hours in the RAIN....:( thanks tropical storm Barry. This is what the keys look like during a storm

The highlight of that day was waffle house (not as good as you'd think)

It rained all day, we walked probably 5 miles looking for a beach, then spent the night watching all the drunk people on Key West. Turns out Key West is a small island with hundreds of bars and assorted other kinds of tourist traps. I would recommend this beach, which is at mile marker 37. It was voted the most beautiful beach in the united states. They say the water is usually crystal clear, but thanks to barry, it was cloudy. The sun came out for a little bit, and it only rained a minute or so.

if my aunt (Peg) had a moto, it would be, "ill smoke until i die!"

Sunset on our last day

(btw, i didnt take all of these pictures, Paul (my boyfriend) and Michelle (my sis) took some of them)

the begining of something

2007-05-18T11:11:00.000-07:00

its really too bad that im not feeling very bloggy right now. Ive been trying to post this blog for a couple days now, hopefully it works this time. In the future the words will be more intersting, this time, its mostly about the photos.

This is my friend nathan, we ate vegan that day

The seniors in the printmaking department at CCA put together a show at Redink gallery in SF. It was a pain in the ass, but overall a good time.

my partners in crime

we went to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. Talk about tourist trap. i couldnt really find the mystery, the tour guide wouldnt let me wander around. Everywhere she took us was really set up and painted and nice. It would have been 5000 times cooler if it was all dirty and dilapidated. whatev
this is my mommy
i think she is looking for the mystery too

they did have beautiful tiffany glass

after that we went to santa cruz for a mother's day beach frolic and lunch in the sun
