Toys R Us Circa 2001

"Excuse me miss. Can you help me?"

Since then I am careful not to let my hair grow too long. Also I make it a point not to wear oversized smocks and handle dolls... in public. 

Buddy

I saw this dog when I was walking the streets of Alameda.

Two Times Too Many

One time at Calarts I had a bunch of charcoal on me from life drawing class.


I went to the bathroom to wash my hands.
As I was drying my hands...

there was an awkward moment.

Just a few weeks ago at the airport I was going to the bathroom.

Washed my hands.

And as I was drying them...

there was an awkward moment.

After that I realized something had to be done.

Now when I go to the bathroom I'll do a mental check list.

#1 Check the sign on the front door. If the sign has the symbol of a man, proceed.

#2 Urinals are found in the mens restroom, not the womens. If you see wall toilets you're on the right path.

#3 The third and final check that will dispel all worry... OTHER MEN! If you see men going to the bathroom, chances are you're in the mens bathroom and you will be ...

ready to go!

This checklist can also help women. Just substitute men for women and urinals for a clean floor.

LOTR BABIES

I am a fan of the Lord of the Rings series. I watched the first two when I was feeling under the weather. My health can let me down but those movies never do!  My dream would be to one day direct a prequel. I know Del Toro is handling The Hobbit, which is fine, because I wanted to do one a little further back... when they were all BABIES!

Think Muppet Babies but with your favorite Lord of the Rings characters! The movie would be full of origin stories. You would get to see Aragorn and Legolas at Rivendale Grammar School, see how Gandalf got his wizard powers, and did you know LOTR wasn't the first time Golem and Sam met! 

Currently looking for a storyboard artist to draft the first 90 minutes. No pay, but credit on a legitimate production and all you can eat graham crackers (half a box)!

HAWAII

Hawaii is super nice! It was just how I pictured. On Saturday the weather was beautiful and sunny, I found this awesome cove with crashing waves and beautiful views so I proposed to Lindsay!

Here is how it happened:

Walking down the rocks I checked my pocket to make sure the ring was still there.

I was a bit nervous. I grabbed her hand and said my thoughts and heart feelings.

She realized what was happening.
I pulled out a ring pop.
We had a good laugh.
Then I got serious...

and pulled out the real one...
and asked her to marry me.
She said yes! And then this dolphin scooped us from the rocks and we rode him towards a beautiful ocean sunset.
Part of this story is fiction. I leave it to you to decide which part that is.

Lost in Hawaii

I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow for a sweet vacation. When I get there I will find the castaways of Lost and tell them what life is like off the island...

"And then we said see ya later friendster, hello myspace, but then I was like, is myspace lame? Everyone was like, yea totally lame, so we went to facebook, it was like a myspace but for adults, but then it got totally lame times ten, twitter is where its at. Now, I only tweet." 

I SAW YOU...

The old guy in the grocery store, who thought he'd eat a few chocolate covered peanuts from the candy bin. Did you think you got away with it? I betcha  thought the small boy with quiet features, and the weird sunburn was just shopping for melons... wrong!! I saw the whole thing. I would've taken you down myself, but your black fingerless gloves spooked me. 

Instead I have decided to post your picture on this blog, so me and the four and a half visitors that come here might join together for a little mob justice. Be on your toes candy thief, your day of reckoning will come!

Sweet Tan

I went to the A's game on Sunday and I got a little bit of a sunburn. Here is what I look like now...

so I think I'm in store for a sexy looking tan this summer...

Bunch of Babies

I was on the way home from a record store and walked past a college flag football game. I sat down and watched for a bit. I noticed all of the players had these baby faces. Coincidentally they loved to call each other baby...

At one point they had too many players on the field and this guy had to sit out. He slammed the ball down and tore off his flags in protest...

 

Invention Tuesday

I would like to see these inventions in the near future. 

The first is a fridge with a handle that can read what nutrients your body needs and lets you know what you should eat to stay healthy.

The second is one that might need some real geniuses to figure out. It is a machine that records our dreams so we can watch them the next morning.

If we just took some of the scientists working on hybrid technology and put them on these projects, I think it would be worth it.

Frost/Skeletor

The 1987 film Masters of the Universe has several great performances, see below:

But you'll agree, the one that steals the show is definitely Skeletor. I was captivated as a kid and still captivated now by his performance. Turns out, there is a reason I'm so moved by that guy...it's because he's this guy.

If Frost knew he was up against Skeletor, I don't think he would've continued the interviews. I'm glad he did though. Frank Langella is great in Masters of the Universe and Frost/Nixon. I recommend both!

I had to include this He-man Cosplay .I love how the photos start out awesome, but by the third one it takes a terrible turn.

Majestic Views

Last weekend I drove down the 5 freeway to see my family in So Cal. California has some wonderful landscapes. Here is one of scenes I saw out my car window...
