Baby Panda. That is all.
Okay, so as a reward for (finally) having a functional (and neatly organized) closet again, I got myself up earlyish today and went to the San Diego Zoo during the morning BABY PANDA viewing. I’ll just leave this here… I would say that I could just quit the internet for today… but I really ought […]

September rains
Well, I’m sitting in a coffee shop to access wifi and generally realizing that during moves I drink way too much coffee and tea and whatever else I get at coffee shops. Probably not great, but wifi is awfully helpful. We got places to stay lined up in California (including four nights in Anaheim!!) until […]

Days downtown: week 20 of 2012 in photos
I spent a lot of time downtown this week, especially at the zoo, so most of this weeks’ photos are from that. This was the Coke display at the grocery store on Monday. I thought it was cool. They do some really clever things with the boxes of soda. It never makes me want to […]

And then I went to the beach: week 16 of 2012 in photos
I couldn’t think of a clever theme for the 3rd week of April, except that most of my photos were from the zoo, and I ended the week at the beach. This is the tiny chocolate rabbit from my Easter basket that was (almost) too pretty to eat… until Monday the 16th, anyway.

Thoughts on Chimpanzee (the movie, not the animal)
As this weekend was Earth Day, it was also the opening weekend for the new Disneynature movie, Chimpanzee. And as I have every year, I went with a group from the zoo to go see it. It’s always interesting to go see an animal movie w/ zoo people because we see things with that perspective. So […]

I realized today that I have learned several important Life Lessons from my time spent at various zoo and animal-related places. Here are some of them. Easy humor is not the same as smart humor and usually not clever or original. Put some thought into it. (Just today I got the oh-so-clever line, “And what […]

Takin’ care of business: Week 9 of 2012 in photos
This week has been one in which I accomplished a lot and worked very hard on several projects. My photos are mostly of things related to them, with a handful of other randomness. Monday I cleaned the bedroom and started getting things together to make a deployment shadowbox and scrapbook for J. He collected some […]

Strange Self-Portraits: Week 6 of 2012 in photos
This week I seemed to take a few random self-portraits that kind of capture what I was doing better than anything else. So here we go! 2/6 On Monday I got my hair done, and this was one of my retouching-highlights appointments so I had lots of foil on my head. I kept wondering if […]

The places my feet take me: Week 4 of 2012 in photos
I did a lot of walking in the past week and had many encounters with wildlife, some nice and some not so nice. Here are the photos that document my week. 1/23/2012 Last Monday was the start of the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese calendar. This was the first year since moving here […]

A handful of zoo photos from today
I don’t have anything much to write about today, but I did have a few minutes to walk around the zoo this afternoon and I took these photos. ^_^ Here is one of the many feral peacocks. He was showing off for a good twenty minutes. One of the elephants gave herself a dust bath. […]
