2015 May 29 | Long Beach VB, dodgeball, West LA VB



For Memorial Day we went down to Long Beach to play volleyball. Normally we don't go there because it's farther and they're better players, so Ogii doesn't have anyone at her level to play with, but we were also going to dodgeball down there, so we figured we'd check it out. Here's me hitting the ball over the net.



And me bumping.

Fight at the next. Cool shot, even though the focus is on the pole, not the players.

Around noon we left volleyball and went to dodgeball. Before enough people showed up to play that, we played cornhole. Ogii throwing a bean bag.

We played the national anthem and used this guy's shorts as the flag.

The one guy is hiding behind the girl, ha.



Another tight grasp.



Two women in similar outfits.



Trying to listen to this podcast. I have to turn on bluetooth on the phone and on the car first; if I try to turn them on after this podcast has started, it will stop. Which makes no sense; they should have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but it does.



Hauling a palm tree.



Accident.



Hauling the car away.



Voodoo doll.



Interesting brake lights on this Jeep.



Shiny gold paint.



Cool statue.

The new Firefox update added all of these new crappy search engines to the fast search bar. First step of update: delete all of those.



The Cirque du Soleil show doesn't show up when you search for Mystere.



You have to have the little accent mark above the "e" for that. I don't even know how to do that with an American keyboard.



The ad for Marc Savard, a comedy hypnotist. Her eye is staring right at you, her lips are parted, and her breasts are emphasized. I guess it's an eye-catching ad, but it doesn't have much to do with his show.



"Do Tom, Reyes and company ever find their way out of the jail? You'll have to watch and see." Or you could have just told me right there, in text.



Free same-day for Amazon Prime in Los Angeles. That's cool.



The first appointment at the DMV is almost a month away. Uh, no; I think I'll try to walk in instead. When I tried to call them it was a 2-hour wait to get ahold of someone, too.
