Came across this video today that must have been an enormous labor of love. I love that comfortable, so-many-possiblities feel of small bookstores. Wonderful music piece that accompanies this video.

Cats Screaming
Saw this today on one of the podcasts I subscribe to and it just had me giggling the whole time. Great distraction from daily serious stuff.

Christmas Dinner At Last!
Finally had our Christmas dinner with all the local family members together in one place. We had meat for protein, potatoes for starch, rice for carbs, salad for iron and beans for gas. After a delightful rendition of “Oh Holy Night” in eight part butt harmony, we all sat down for a game of “Apples …

Gaming At Billata’s
My mom, Kimi my niece and I drove over to my sister Beata’s house this afternoon for an hour of fun and frolic, post-Christmas style, with her, Bill and Aidan. We snacked on assorted nuts and orange slices while playing “Apples to Apples” with no real interest in who would win, but more as to …

New Mahjong High Score
After doing my citizenry dutieship with the SOPA petition, I gifted myself the opportunity to play the wonderful (and free) Moonlight Mahjong 3D game and came away achieving a new high score with the proud ranking of Gazelle. Tonight I have impressed myself, but it will not last for tomorrow reality, the lion to my …

Rose Floats #123
Started off my day by watching the 123rd Tournament of Roses Parade. Since from the very beginning it’s been a tournament rule to never have it held on a Sunday, it was moved to today. I kept flipping channels to either re-watch a particular float I liked, to avoid commercials or sometimes to view the floats instead …

So Long, 2011
So my last day of the year started out innocently enough, with me finishing up some uninteresting, non-blog-worthy tasks. That was until I went down to Sylvia and Rodrigo’s house in fog-encased Chula Vista. We watched a couple of episodes of “Mad Men,” and then had pizza for dinner while playing a few rounds of …

What Are You Doing New Years Eve?
A delightful duet posted by Zooey Deschanel on her YouTube channel. This is a perfect year-end two-part harmony with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Red Bull: New Year. No Limits.
On our walk from the Auto Show to Seaport Village, we passed by a huge ramp set up for a New Year’s Eve attempt at two simultaneous world-record jumps over water at the Embarcadero. Sponsored by Red Bull, one will be by Levi LaVallee on a snowmobile and the other by Robbie Maddison on a …

Annual International Auto Show
Enjoyed my annual attending of the San Diego International Auto Show at the Convention Center downtown by the bay. This year I was accompanied by my friends José, Rodrigo and Archie. All guys…huh. My focus, as usual, was not on the cars normal people would buy every day. That’s boring. I was aiming my camera …

Felicia In Belize
Watched Felicia Day’s self-shot, -edited and -presented travel video of her winter trip to Belize. This is how all people should show their trip videos. Be funny, interesting, with lots of quick cuts and seem genuinely interested. No lingering. Doesn’t hurt to be adorable.

Santa’s Village Revisited
In the spirit of the season, I scanned a bunch of slides today from our family visit to Santa’s Village back in 1963 and posted them on a Facebook page devoted to its history. I can see myself obviously having a ton of fun at such an exciting and memorable place for a young child. …

Birthday Movie and Lunch Wish Granted
Enjoyed a great day with my incredible friends Sylvia and Rodrigo, who took me not only to see “Sherlock Holmes: A Games of Shadows” (which I was dying to see) but also to lunch at In-N-Out (which I was dying to eat). I seem to be doing a lot of dying lately. The movie was …

Natural History Museum In One Hour
After leaving the Zoo I thought it would be fun to make a quick visit to the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park, next door to the Zoo. Walking first through Spanish Village, I stopped at The Village Grill for a spot of lunch. Had my regular tuna melt combo with chips and a drink. …
