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 ever Miss Cinco de Mayo.  There was a lot of live music including some amazing guitar playing by Mario Olivares at the Corona Main Stage. There even was a Mexican wrestling ring set up right in front of the Immaculate Conception church.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easter Dinner

Had nine people around our table tonight for an almost impromptu Easter dinner. Was only planned since yesterday afternoon. It was nice to have family, friends and one rambunctious little puppy adding much needed energy and frolic to the house. At least temporarily. The peace and quiet that followed was nice, too.

Baby Squirrels Own Our Backyard

Watched four baby squirrels, two adults and one teenager running rampant around our backyard, eating birdseed and weeds in the grass. What I suppose must have been the mother sat on the fence for a while watching it all.

Gaga No, Yankovic Yes

I am not a Lady Gaga fan, but I am a big Weird Al Yankovic fan, and I really like this new song parody of her.
