Cute erasers!

Look! A little bento box full of mistake-eradicating goodness.

Just don't eat it.

(On display in a shop in Little Tokyo, L.A.)

The side of the Wiltern Theater in L.A., an Art Deco landmark. This doesn't really show the building, of course, but I think it's interesting how, on the right, vintage neon contrasts with modern (and some might say tacky) neon.

(*Don't try this at home. Or rather...at car.)

Peeking Dog

This little guy was in a friend's bag, without any of us knowing it, even after we'd stood there talking for like 15 minutes.

The world must be very big for him.

You're so nauti...cal.

I drove past this place yesterday, and though I think I've seen it before, it was obvious that this was my picture for the day.

Methinks somebody read a little too much Mark Twain growing up, and then decided to be an architect. The windows are portholes. WITH bars on them--personally, I think you could ditch that feature. Dude, if anybody could even FIT through that tiny round space to get into your house, they'd deserve whatever they came to steal. God knows the residents must not be getting much light as it is, without adding the extra hardware.

I tried Googling this place before I posted, but amazingly, found nothing. I put in "boat," "house," "weird," "architecture," "los angeles," "silverlake," and the names of the streets on whose corner it is. Nuthin'. Somebody has to have said something about this place previously, and darn it, I want some history.

But for now, I guess we'll just have to settle for looking at it, and pretending we're at Tom Sawyer's island at Disneyland.

All aboard.

You heard me, everything.

The very existence of The Everything Store fills me with giggly joy.

It's certainly not the best picture ever taken, but I don't think I have another I enjoy more.
