Cinco De Mayo In April

After the Art Walk in the morning, I went back to Old Town to walk around the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta celebration. Saw plenty of very colorful crafts being sold, some well done, others looking like the ones they sell at the border crossing in Tijuana. Got to meet 22-year old Sonya Quiroz, the first …

Art Walk In Little Italy

Took the trolley from Old Town and met Sylvia and Rodrigo in the Little Italy district of downtown San Diego for this year’s Art Walk. Talked to an artist acquaintance of ours (Scott Palmer) and met two new ones (Christopher M. and Pete Tillack), both of whose work we really liked. (pics blah blah blah…)

Awareness Test #2

This one’s really good, but just as much fun finding out what you missed as watching the video in the first place.

Awareness Test #1

Pretty amazing if you’ve never seen this done before.

Level One Complete

Absolutely insane first-hand view of a downhill mountain bike race in Chili. Totally video game-like with near crashes and a stray dog.

Monarch Larvae

Ok. I’ll admit to watching some of the ceremony recap on the news this morning. I can understand what he sees in her.

Does Eli Know He’s Black?

Watched “The Book of Eli” over at the Tapias’ house. Been wanting to watch that movie for a while and the it did not disappoint. Really good twist at the end. Mila Kunis is a doll.

Naturally Historic Visit To A San Diego Museum

After my Zoo visit I walked over to the Natural History Museum and spent a couple of hours there taking pictures and actually learning something. For example, did you know that Sun Chips have 30% less fat than regular chips? I got hungry. (pics…)

Alone Time With The Animals

Spent a couple of hours at the San Diego Zoo, walking around by myself, listening to to my iPod and taking pictures. Very relaxing. I focused my shots on primates, especially their feet and hands. (pics to come)

Reply-yay-yay

My friend Heather replied to a couple of comments I made about the pictures she posted on Facebook.

A Street Name Desired

While doing a usual search for our family name on Google I came across this street in the city of Szeged, appropriately in Hungary.  

Mouse House

Came home from lunch and had this little guy waiting for me by the front door. I think he was waiting for some lunch leftovers. Bummer for him that I didn’t have any. He hopped away. The end.

Rubyesque Melt (Sorry, Lisa)

For lunch today I went to Ruby’s in Mission Valley and had my usual Albacore Melt, but this time with my friend, Lannie. Walked around a bit afterwards and came across a blue puppy and some giant chess pieces. Normal, everyday stuff.

Another, Less Welcome, Native Visitor

Came across this juvenile Western Rattlesnake on our driveway while I was taking out the trash. Beautiful animals, but it does worry me a bit to wonder where the rest of the members of the nest are.

Beautiful Time-Lapse Photography

I absolutely love this kind of time-lapse photography accompanied by soothing music. (Thanks to a tweet by Stephen Fry.) The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.
