Another evening in Old Town, San Diego
Since I was running low on tea, J and I headed to the coffee and tea shop in Old Town this afternoon. I found some other random things while we were there, including a small tin shop with these gorgeous tin stars. They remind me of Moravian stars from back home in North Carolina, and…

Doctor Who Commentary: Thoughts on the Cold War
Now that I’ve seen the Doctor Who episode called “The Cold War,” I have some observations. They are below the cut because SPOILERS, sweetie.

Wizardly Commentary: Thoughts on Oz, the Great and Powerful
((SPOILER WARNING)) Tonight we saw Oz, the Great and Powerful, the new movie from Disney that is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz. Strange, perhaps, to release a prequel 74 years after the original movie, but maybe we needed this long for Oz to permeate our pop culture, and for us to be ready for another…

Southwestern Wildlife Spotting: Volume 1
The following are some accounts of wildlife I’ve seen since moving to California. This isn’t an exhaustive list, mostly just of those animals I’ve photographed, but there are a few I’ve ID’ed with no photo (which makes me sad… but still happy I saw them). Not all of the photos are fantastic, but they “work”…

Thoughts on Jurassic Park, 3D.
Last night I saw Jurassic Park in 3D. The interesting thing (to me) about this movie is that I remember when it came out in theaters, but I never went to see it. Maybe because I wasn’t quite 11 and the movie was PG-13 (though, seeing it now, it’s a very tame PG-13 compared to current…

Hiking in Blue Sky: aka The Lake is a Lie
Maybe instead I should say the lake was not what we expected. At any rate, the other day, J and I broke out my (until then) unused Hikes of Southern California book and picked one that was relatively close to home. It was in the eastern part of the county, at a place called Blue Sky…

United Against a Common Enemy: the vacuum
Not often to the kitties sit together on any piece of furniture, let alone the cat climber. But sometimes they STAND UNITED against a COMMON ENEMY: the VACUUM. (Neither is actually afraid of the vacuum, but it is noisy and tends to be cleaning places they usually sit, so retreating to the cat climber is only…

Joshua Tree National Park, revisited
As it is springtime (and as he hadn’t been), I took J to Joshua Tree National Park in search of wildflowers. We seem to have arrived about a week (or maybe two) too early, but it was still beautiful and the afternoon sunlight stretching across the desert made the colors all the more vivid. The…
