FacebookLeave our kids alone!
This is not a happy post. Remember how this past March, I wrote about how one of the Horses, Hope & Healing kids was hit by a car, and the driver took off? Well, crap has happened yet again with another HH&H kid, and I'm so sick and angry over the whole thing. Remember Rudy? He's the kid I wrote briefly about →
Tomb of the Unknowns
I took this picture during the sunset changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery, a couple of years ago when I went to Washington, D.C. As that trip was before I started blogging, I'm pretty sure I never posted it here. It's a good one for Memorial Day. For all of you who serve and who have served, including my →
Full of light
'Tis the season for senior pictures, so y'all are going to see a few of those in the next week. :-) Let me just say how much fun I had taking these. Taisa is at once quiet and effervescent, and I feel like I managed to catch her being both, and I love the results. In fact, I could only bear →
Posting this from heaven
I forgot to tell you all this yesterday, but I was raptured on Saturday. Grad school's done until the end of August, and now there's less than two weeks of school, and I will be free for the summer! I can't wait. I plan to spend lots of time at the barn, lots of time in the pool, and lots of →
Modern-day Titanic
Let me start off by saying that not only is this not my video, but it's not my music, and it's not even my idea. John saw this first-person video taken during the tornado in Joplin, MO yesterday, and he had the bright idea of setting it to "Nearer My God To Thee", which is in the annals of history →
Taiko!
Yesterday I rode my bike down to Old Sac with John and Mike for the Asian Pacific Rim Festival. Mike wanted to have some good Asian food, I wanted to see the taiko drummers, and John got dragged along for the ride. Now, if you've never seen taiko (link goes to the Wikipedia article) I really think it's one of those →
Yaay summertime!!
Ok, so it's not summer quite yet. I still have three more weeks of work (two with students, and one to get everything on my to-do list done that hasn't gotten done in the past few months.) But I'm done with grad school until August, and I feel so infinitely more relaxed already. It's not that it's that difficult, it →
Damn cat… we’ll miss you
Yesterday (well, in relative terms -- depends on what time zone you're in, I guess) I was getting ready to leave the hostel for the airport, and I signed online to check in for my flight, and there was an email from John saying that our cat Scout had gotten out and had been hit by a car, and he →
Singapore Day 5: That crashing sound you heard was me crashing
I've never had very healthy sleep habits, but for at least three weeks now, I've been averaging about four hours of sleep per night. Generally I've been able to somewhat catch up on weekends (I know, this isn't really catching up) but things have been so insane lately that I haven't been able to. It finally caught up with me today. →
Singapore Trip Day 4: Nocturnal Edition
A little preface to my post -- if you're in Sacramento, head on down to Mondo Bizzaro (on 19th and I St. next to Ace Hardware) for Second Saturday. I'm (obviously) not going to be there, but five of my photos will be!! My most awesome boyfriend John took them over and helped hang them on Thursday, and took this →
Singapore Trip Day 3: City Lights
(As always, click here for the set with all of my Singapore pictures.) This is going to be a bit of a random post, since yesterday was somewhat fragmented. So bear with me here. I've been trying to get better with using photo filters for a while, at least with my cameraphone. I like how they look on other people's pictures, but →
Singapore Trip Day 2: Malaysia
This is going to be more or less a photo dump like my previous post, because I'm meeting up with Joel and Ting at noon, and I have to get some homework done before then. I, ummm, kind of have a term paper (mostly done) and electronic portfolio (ummmm... yeah, about that) due for grad school tomorrow, and, well, let's →
Singapore Day 1, Part 2: Pictures that didn’t make the 10 on 10 cut but I wanted to blog a bit about anyway
This is day 2 of being wide awake at 5AM. I can't blame anyone for snoring this time... I just couldn't sleep. Oh well -- in a couple of hours I'll be catching a bus to Malacca, Malaysia, and it's a 4 hour ride, so I can sleep then if I feel the need. So instead of working on my grad →
Singapore Trip Day 1: May 10 on 10, Singapore edition
Since this seems as good a place to pitch it as any (don't think I've mentioned it on here before) go vote for me for Best Local Blogger in the A-List competition on one of our local news stations. :-) I know I won't win, but it'd be fun to get some points on the board at least... ;-) Ok, so →
Singapore Trip Day 0: Trains, Planes, and Shuttle Buses
Hello from Singapore!! Even though I've only slept about 15 hours in the past four days, my body is convinced it's 10:30 AM (California time) so despite the fact that it's 1:35 AM Tuesday here, I'm wide awake. Oh well. I take hought I'd post this really quickly and then go try to sleep -- between the time difference and →
Excuse me, I have a plane to catch; or, please don’t laugh at high school me
So this coming Monday is 10 on 10, and for once I'm not going to have to think about how to creatively shoot my stapler on my desk at work, because I'm actually going to be somewhere fun and interesting and different; somewhere that involves a long plane flight (hence my blog header for this month.) How fun and interesting and →
Some Cinco de Mayo-appropriate Halloween outtakes
I vacillated between capitalizing cinco de mayo or not in my post title. These are the things that keep English majors awake at night, people. See, in Spanish, you don't capitalize months. But it's a holiday, so shouldn't that be capitalized? I should go look, but I'm too tired. I was up until 3AM finishing the Prom pics (FINALLY) and →
Welcome to Kari’s blog of horses and cute children
First off, happy birthday to me! Since that's how I roll, I'm asking people for a bale of hay. Not for me, silly (John wouldn't be very happy if I stored it in our apartment) but for the horses at Horses, Hope & Healing. If you're fresh out of a bale of hay, or just don't have enough wrapping paper, you →
Soaking in the color
I think I set a record with these pics for the shortest it's ever taken me to post-process a session. Ok, I kind of lied... I'm not done with the session. But it's the fastest I've ever pulled out this many, anyway. On Saturday after work, I took some pictures of my coworker Kim's (of Yep They Are All Mine fame) →
