Blogger Mom… “Rise and shine to another day of adventure – on our way to Warwick Castle! Looking out our window from Wyckhillhouse a white frosty morn awaits us! Is actually quite lovely with a light layer of white covering the landscape. Roads are dry so that is good. Slight problem getting ready to leave. […]
I’m going to let Mom take the next two as she wrote up the days quite nicely… and I’m feeling really far behind on this whole thing. “After a good night’s sleep, headed out to explore more Cotswold villages. The weather is cooperating as it is clear and sunny, however, COLD! Emily was once again […]
Yes! Today we achieved the goal of scone nirvana in the Cotswolds! First back to Stratford. We got up, went to Costa coffee. Because it *Cost a* lot! Get it?!? Ha, I kill! Costa is the english version of *$ for those not having visited the England. We’re off to a little village called Stow-on-the-wold […]
Had to say goodbye to London early this morning and hop the train to Stratford-upon-Bill. We’re now graduating to the big trains from the light rail lines. The trip is only a couple of hours and we got to watch the countryside go by fairly quickly. See your favorite countryside stereotype… baas, moos, whinnies, greens, […]
Sunday morning and up very very early. We have to catch the bus to finish off the city tour and to get to The Tower at a decent time to see everything there. We hit the streets at 7:30 and walked down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the streets […]
Got up at 3:00am this morning to start the super tourist day. Oh, I mean 11:00am local time! Yikes! Black out curtains work way to well when on holiday, I suggest not using them. Today looks like a rain day so how about a tour of the city by open top bus? Sounds good huh? […]
And off we go… Mom and I on a grand tour of the England before I stay on with Liza for a bit. We left Thursday evening and got in Friday afternoon. British Airways, not a bad flight, it’s always long but was smooth and uneventful. It was pretty out as we circled London and […]
After co-opting the name of a friends party we shifted the annual September get together to a “Fall Gathering of the Nuts”. The usuals were there, and my sister got to fly in this time. Also Liza got to partake but unfortunately I have to take her to the airport tomorrow. We *thought* it was […]
We’re saying goodbye to Casa de San Franfrisco today and heading back south. We stopped at Casa de Beach Cafe for some Casa de Breakfast. Have to say, pretty damn good. A bit spendy, but very good, and the weather was nice and blue. We took the 280 south to hit Casa de Apple Headquarters […]
Today we had lunch plans to meet up with Jill at ILM. Also to say hi to Yoda, R2, 3P0 and Han Solo in Carbonite. Imageworks is fun and all, but there’s no Stormtrooper in the lobby, hallway of matte paintings, or Star Trek ships hanging from the ceiling. We’ve got Stuart Little’s boat sitting […]
Today was tourist day. Tried to get in some of the classic sights; Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point, Twin Peaks, etc. After a day of sight seeing we headed over to the Mission for dinner at my favorite burrito place, La Cumbre. Me loves me a deluxe steak burrito. Liza, once again, was not […]
Yesterday we left on the road trip up the coast to San Francisco. I’m pretty sick so we didn’t leave until the afternoon. We stopped briefly in San Luis Obispo to get a bite to eat and I couldn’t stop shaking I was so cold. Ugh, feeling awful. We got up to Cambria late and […]
[Beowulf World Premiere Video] I can’t even begin to explain last night. Craaaaaaazy. I spent the last year and a half working on Beowulf so of course I felt it my civic duty to go see the stars walk down the red carpet at the world premiere! Right?! No? I really had no idea what […]
[London’s Halloween Party Video] A fowl beast I was. Left to right… Chris E., Chris C., and Chris G. No matter what party we’re always herded together for the 3 Chris’s photo.
[Picture Gallery][Video] Ah, the dearly departed. And a whole day, eh hem, deadicated to them! So you have a cemetery, people in skeletony things, cool arty magical goods, and tasty food stands full of all you can pay for taquitos. Not that I had any of those tasty tasty taquitos. Or the huge pina colada […]
[October 27th 1993 Laguna Fires Video] Parents evacuated out of Fallbrook. Homes destroyed. Choking smoke. Red polluted sunsets. Hey, just another day in paradise! The sun through the clouds and on the water was so saturated my camera just gave up and put flourescent orange in. While I was sitting inside playing the Wii to […]
Out the window at work. They’ve been shooting the show Las Vegas out back this week. Lots of trucks, dressing rooms, catering, porta-pottys, and directors chairs. Just slap some duct tape on the chair… Insta-movie star! Although I haven’t actually seen any talent sit in the chair. And who designed that Star Waggons logo? Grab […]
So, I’ve been thinking about something. I see two things differently than most others, and the other I had believed I was in the majority until I did a one person study at lunch and found out he differs with me on that. So I don’t know what to think. I noticed this when my […]

Click Picture for Gallery Wednesday Aug. 1st: Invasion begins. Fortunately we’ve spent the past month planning and preparing for the onslaught. They’re a wiley lot these visitors. First attempt at contact is made at DMZ LAX. A peace offering is made with brightly colored plant life. Seems to have worked. The visitor is soft and […]
