BRAIN DUMP: 50 things I remembered and wrote down this week. 1. In elementary school a kid won our school presidency by saying he’d get the drinking fountains to have soda rather than water. We all voted for him. 2. My Mom’s “I don’t have to time to prepare dinner” taco salad was made with […]
BRAIN DUMP: I have not seen any of the movies up for best picture. They all seem kinda, eh. Of 54 films nominated for anything, I’ve seen nine. Six of those are nominated in just one category. Neko Case is doing an in-store at Amoeba Records. I want to go to Japan. Kyoto specifically, and […]
[VIDEO LINK] It was a grey day down at the docks as the Queen Mary 2 rode out of the port to continue on its maiden voyage around the world. It stopped in Long Beach on Wednesday to pull up to the original Queen Mary to exchange greetings and whistle blows. It’s now off to […]
About 6 months ago Culver City unveiled this lion statue in the downtown area. Most of the reactions to it were a bit puzzled, but I totally love the statue. I think it’s rather nice that the lion could care less what’s going on around him while he shuts his eyes and dances around in […]
[PHOTO GALLERY OF SEXO Y VIOLENCIA!] She was definitely my favorite act of the night, Michelle Toots L’Amour. It was back to Lucha VaVoom for a Valentine’s Day show tonight. It’s soo fun. I corraled a group of people to go this time around and it was a blast! Everyone of them was a first […]
A test of the new camera. HD Baby! HDV-HC1 [LINK]. So let’s see… my cell phone fell in the toilet and died, the Canon G1 I lost in the mud while quadbiking in New Zealand, the iPod didn’t live after it’s tumble down the stairs in the parking structure and my DV camera decided jump […]
[NEW YEARS 2006 GALLERY – 1280 x 1024] Happy New Year, you’re about to get taken out by a wave. Ha ha ha. That’s not what you want to see when you’re looking through your viewfinder. I thought it would be nice to get a shot of the waves crashing along the rocks near Fort […]
Boise airport December 25th The holiday Bermuda Triangle. In L.A., will just be hangin’ out. Then to Idaho and doing nothin’, or shopping at one of their many strip malls. Then onto San Francisco for 4 days during the New Year! Woot! That all starts right… no, wait for it, right… one sec… now… chrisc@beyonce:chrisc […]
Photos from the kayaking trip to Fiji. It only took me a month this time rather than three years for the last trip. Unfortunately this time around I was hammered by mosquitos and came home with an unfortunate nightmare on my hands. I had an allergic reaction to the mosquito bites and they kept getting […]
I’m home and it’s back to a normal life again. For five of the days I was paddling and I feel pretty buff. Don’t look buff, just feel buff. So, instead of Oceanic Air flight 815, I was on Air Pacific flight 811. We didn’t crash, no one shot anyone, polar bears didn’t attack me, […]
I’m in a kayak floating on the blue seas of the South Pacific paddling from one white sandy beach to the next white sandy beach. The photo is of the northern coast of the island of Kadavu. Kadavu is an island about an hours flight south of the main island of Viti Levu. Basically picture […]
[IMAGEWORKS HALLOWEEN GALLERY] Damn, people done good with the creativity for Halloween. Some great pumpkins were made and some of the costumes were wicked good. The CSI:Pumpkin is awesome, and the motion capture pumpkin is probably only funny to a select few. It’s weird but I didn’t realize until today that I haven’t been home […]
[BIG PHOTO OF NICKY] Proof that the lens is the most important part of a camera. Then of course the tripod. Then maybe the camera body. Before the trip up to the San Juans I was trying to justify the cost of this lens. I’m not sure I actually justified it in any rational way […]
[PACIFIC NORTHWEST PHOTO GALLERY][PRETTY MUCH THE MOST BORING VIDEO OF MY SEAPLANE FLIGHT I COULD HAVE MADE]Woke up totally late this morning and had to rush to the airport to return the car. I was 1/2 an hour late but they didn’t dock me. Had they tried to charge me I would have just taken […]
I had to get up early this morning to pick up the car and head out to the Gorge for tonights concert. Can’t say much for the hotel I’m at but it’s home for the next three nights and it’s cheap. Just need a place to stay while I’m out site seeing. On the way […]
Special guest Mom The Blogger… Woke up to a few clouds which finally cleared to bright sunny skies! Had breakfast, chatted and decided we would take one last drive to “the other side” to look for — what else? WHALES! Stopped by Lime Kiln and Phil spotted them heading south!!! The whale boats hadn’t even […]
