Much merriment was had today starting with an excellent breakfast at the resort, followed by tennis playing, kite flying, bocce balling and walks along the beach. There was some Starbucks and donuts thrown in there somewhere for good measure. ( p i c s )

I Am Now Spotifying
Created a Spotify account to listen to full tracks of music before deciding whether I should buy them, or if I even need to since the service streams the tracks. It also imports all my iTunes playlists. This fantastic service has been available in Europe for a while now and only recently finally came over …

OK-Go Does It Again For Weirdness
OK-Go combined their imaginative talents with the dance company Pilobolus to create another totally bizarre but entertaining interactive music video. (Only works in the Google Chrome browser.) This is my personal message.

Comic Con 2011: Day Four
For the last day of Comic Con there were noticeably fewer celebrities and costumes. Started off great with going to the Conan Art Museum with Randy. We got free t-shirts, poster and pin, plus we got our photo taken and superimposed in a Flaming C scene that we could post online and also had printed …

Comic Con 2011: Day One
Started out the day meandering through the streets of downtown San Diego looking for off-site Comic Con venues. Then met up with Lisa at the SyFy Channel’s Café Diem on Fifth Street for breakfast. We got lucky and we were able to sit outside and people watch as we ate. Spent the entire rest of …

Comic Con 2011: Preview Night
Starting with badge pick-up this afternoon, this Preview Night was well-run, no-pressure, smooth and ultimately very satisfying for me. Already took plenty of photos, had a chance to have decent conversations with artists J. Scott Campbell and William Stout as well as actor Peter Mayhew and even got to see Stan Lee already signing autographs. …

Disappointing Defeat For One, Joyous Celebration For Another
Picked up some really delicious pizza, chicken, pasta and salad from Pat & Oscar’s for lunch and watched the women’s 2011 World Cup soccer finals between the United States and Japan. After blowing two leads in the game, the first in the closing minutes of regulation, the other in the closing minutes of the second …

Walking Embarcadero With Fireworks
After enjoying a really good Papa John’s pizza I had a great night walk with the Tapias along Seaport Village ending with watching some fantastic, close-up fireworks from the San Diego Symphony’s Summer Pops at the Embarcadero Marina Park North next to the Convention Center (home to Comic Con in two weeks).

Sucker Punched Again
While having a really good Papa John’s pizza, I watched Sucker Punch with Sylvia and Rodrigo, my second time, their first. I don’t think I’ve ever liked such a dark, depressing movie as much as this one. Still find the imagery and cinematography to be absolutely stunning.

Got My D23 Expo Pass!
Bought my three-day pass today for the upcoming D23 Expo in August. If it’s anything like the one from two years ago I will have a great time. Not nearly as crowded or stressful as Comic Con, but also not nearly as many programs or panels. But this time I’m going for all three days …
