Christmas trip to L.A

L.A is always a great time. I love visiting there. Always good to see my sister and brother n law. We always take lots of pictures and get outside and enjoy the great weather of southern cali. I look forward to going there a couple times every year. We did a lot of playing around with long exposures on the cameras. It's very interesting to see how we all take the same picture with the different settings we individually like. The same picture is quite different from each persons perspective and settings.
We went and bought some cheap neon glow sticks, setting up the tripod and held the shutter open for long periods of time. So cool what you can do with some simple things. That's how we came up with our christmas card. Went with the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil theme. Turned out wonderfully.

So I was watching an episode of Man Vs. Food. And the episode I watched was in L.A. He challenge for that show was the Special #2. There is this great place called Orochon Ramen. I high a high tolerance for spicy food so I thought, this can't be that bad. You get served a huge bowl of simmering hot Ramen noodles. Mostly broth though. You get 30 minutes to eat and drink all the broth. I figured if Adam Richman could do it, I could. HA!! boy was I wrong. The biggest problem was the temperature of it. Yeah it was spicy, but I could bear it. And it was a lot of broth to drink. So filling. I would have to say I ate all the noodles and drank about 1/4 of the broth before i called it quits. My lips were on fire, sweating beading down my cheeks and the urge to vomit was persistent. Now that I think about it, probably would have been better throwing it back up. We did this early in the day. My sis and Eli planned well. I'm somewhat ADHD and always need to be doing something. Well after doing this, I was out for the count for 24 hours. Probably more painful that when I broke my ankles. EEEK. But it was all in good fun and i'm glad i tried it. Never again though.

Hopefully I can continue to put new/cool pictures and video of my adventures. I plan on having a lot of fun this year. As I always do. Enjoy and if anyone wants to ever come out to this great state of Colorado and play, let me know. Great times to be had here.
