Look! A little bento box full of mistake-eradicating goodness.
Just don't eat it.

Blog Pause
Guys, I think I'm going to be taking a break from this here site for a bit--not sure how long, maybe about a month or so. I started doing another picture-a-day project and between that and some other side work, I'm pulling my hair out just a tad. So I figure--since no one on earth actually READS this--this might be the project to be put aside for a bit!
I guess I reserve the right to toss up a picture here and there if I take one I like, but more than likely, I'll just have to check in with my imaginary readers sometime this fall.
Ciao!

Sexaaaay
This is how sexy I can look using my new CPAP machine, should I choose to use the optional chin straps to keep my mouth firmly closed.
If it ever occurs that a man does see me in this, pray that afterward it won't be utterly impossible to ever get laid again.

Playing with fire... literally
I got a CPAP machine today; I had to go to this oxygen/medical supply place to pick it up and get oriented. In their office, in the midst of a big messy wall of framed photos, was this one: a guy from the 40's slinging a big oxygen tank around without a safety cap on it while smoking a cigarette. Too priceless.

Daily reminder to be a World Citizen
This is my new clock from Target, and I LUUURVE it. It's one of those ones where each face is labeled with a different city name--L.A., NYC, Buenos Aires, London, Berlin, etc. I set them all to the right times, and put it in my bathroom. Now as I brush my teeth or do my hair, I can look at it and think about all those different places, and what it might be like over in Tokyo when it's 4 in the morning or whatever, and be reminded that I am going to visit these places and as many others in the world as I possibly can.

Cat puddles
Is it me, or are my 10-yr-old cats starting to slow down from their once-kittenish pace? ;)

The vet provokes different reactions...
My cat Wallace doesn't like the vet. Not even for checkups like this one. Maybe it's because they always tell him he's fat. (18 lbs! Mother of God!) On the other hand...
Boo Bear, a 1yr old miniature English bulldog, doesn't seem to mind the vet so much. In fact, I doubt she minds anything. Her owner says she even loves going to the groomer. Maybe it's her pink nail polish that's cheering her up.

Marge moment
I didn't know this lady; she was posing for somebody else. But I did like the eye contact she was making. I don't think she trusts Marge...

Mmm...donuts.
Resting comfortably the Burbank Kwik-E-Mart, very big marketing ploy for the Simpson's movie! And also, somehow, the densest, heaviest baked good known to man!
If you want to see all my photos from the Kwik-E-Mart, go here.

My view on the way to San Diego Comic-Con
For four hours.
I hear San Diego is scenic, but sorry, I'm not seeing it. (Literally. )
Coincidentally, my friend Tom took this picture of himself driving the same route:
The pain of the 5 freeway, she is universal.

Sci Fi Channel booth at Comic Con 2007
It wasn't really a booth per se, because...nothing happened there. No one was manning it, they didn't sell or give anything out. It just had a few video screens showing their stuff (and the ambient color kept changing) and it just...existed. And apparently was a place to sit and hang out. And look like you were in an episode of "Laugh-In."

Cool booths
These were some cool booths in a San Diego restaurant. I felt like they were either giant wicker water drops, or birdcages with a cover charge.
Edited to add: Looks like the folks over at Apartment Therapy had their eyes on the same thing.

Darth Maul eats a pretzel
I'm at Comic-Con this weekend, watching fierce Sith warriors eat overpriced snack foods.
I like how Darth's fingernails are each painted a different color. Must be a Dexter fan.

Furry
Just trying a macro shot on something other than a flower, seeing if I could find some interesting texture. But I think my equipment is not quite up to achieving the effects I'd hoped. Plus, Wallace wouldn't hold still. He kept breathing. Selfish little bastard.
I didn't say it'd be a good picture a day.

Are you feeling gastronomically brave?
Franks Coffee Shop in Burbank is THE most hardcore, decades-old, time-machine, never-changed throwback diner EVER. It's one of the only places to eat within walking distance of my work, so even though you have to be feeling really brave to go in, occasionally we chance it. Even then it's best if you don't look too closely at how clean (or not) the place is kept.
Clearly, the ambiance is a powerful magnet that draws people irresistibly.
The interior. The window shade thingies (visible at top right) are astounding up close--they're plastic and interlocking and indescribable and so 70's Brady Bunch and AMAZING. I dearly wish someone would clean them up to their former orange-and-beige glory, but at the moment they're kind of in grungy tatters. If a decorator could somehow acquire them to put on the huge windows of someone's big modern loft apartment, that someone would have the grooviest pad in history.
Some locals share their views on undoubtedly important stuff.
And finally, the wait staff that makes it all happen. My friends swear they've actually ordered things here and had one of the waitresses tell them no, those things were too inconvenient for her, order something else.

Ball O' Hair
Returning to my promised Fly On The Wall photography style (I have the damndest time staying on topic), I present Ball O'Hair Lady.
I must say I do wish I could have sat at the table with her and done a real portrait. But I didn't see how, since my intro--were I truthful--would have been something like: "Hello, your hair is TOTALLY FREAKISH! Can I snap a picture so my friends and I can laugh?"
