Just another cat video: Caspian chasing his tail
Yeah, I know the internet doesn’t NEED another cat video, but surely the internet WANTS another cat video, right? Caspian does this ALL THE TIME and no one ever gets to see, even when I try to cleverly flip a video-chat camera around. Tuesday I finally caught him on camera, so here you go. He’s […]

Some funny things from the zoo
This weekend J and I went to the zoo with some friends from out of town. Since you’ve been inundated with enough animal and nature photos lately, here are some just fun (or funny) ones. Maybe I’m the only one entertained by them, but hey, that’s all that matters! OH NO, there’s a GIANT HAND […]

Confessions of a PC owner
I’m sitting here waiting for some stuff to finish uninstalling from my computer (spring cleaning happens EVERYWHERE in this house), so I thought I’d make some observations about my almost six-year-old computer. In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that I’m not what you might call computer savvy. I’m very social-network-savvy (at least, […]

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 […]

Trailer park fun and vintage things older than me: Joshua Tree camping trip
I apologize for the break in daily posting. Last week J and I went camping (of a sort) with some friends in the Joshua Tree National Park area. We stayed in an artists’ retreat, of the sort that values their privacy (and so doesn’t give out an address, just directions a few days before you […]

Advertising: YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.
Well, doing it badly, in any case. I was going to write about our MUCH belated holiday party from this weekend today, but NO. If you know me well, you know I don’t think much of most ads, especially when I can tell I am the target audience and feel that THEY are pandering to […]

The Volavkas do L.A. Kind of.
Since our purpose in going to Los Angeles was to visit the La Brea tar pits, J and I didn’t really plan on doing much sight seeing. That was for another day, another trip. However… The two hour drive TO La Brea was over three hours BACK to San Diego (as we’d stayed at the […]

Marching on
Well, it’s been over a month and I’ve managed to THINK of a bunch of really good blog posts and then NOT WRITE THEM. It’s a good thing blogging isn’t my job. Anyway, this is to let you know I’m going to be catching up on things, and I’ve made a LIST of things I […]

Pop Quiz at the DMV
Today I went to get new license plates for my car. The old plates expired while the car was in storage, so when I got it back two weeks ago, I started the process of getting them. First I had to get it repaired; it needed a new belt and a new sensor, and that […]

A couple of random photos from my new camera
I got a new point and shoot camera for Christmas (sometimes it’s nice to just have one with you, so you don’t have to lug around a full size camera bag; this one fits nicely in my purse!), and pulled a few photos off of it. First, seeing The Hobbit in 3D with my sister: We were […]
