LACMA Lights

If you’re ever in Los Angeles at night, especially in the rain, have a drive by the L.A. Museum and look at the street light installation. You don’t even have to get out of the car, but if you do every photo you take of yourself you’ll look like a movie star. It’s a very flattering place to take pictures.

Arturo the Birthday Boy

This is Art. It’s his birthday. He loves this photo. Cake in the rollover. It says spanish stuff on it.

Luxos Held Hostage

Today at DreamWorks we rounded up all the Pixar Luxos and destroyed made them disappear. Don’t they looked frightened with their little environmental bulbs? One made a run for it. It wasn’t pretty. Oh, and this is a brand spankin’ new point and shoot Canon sd880! So I did a pano. Because I do that with any new camera I buy. For some reason.

Japanese Village

It was really nice and clear today but stormy looking! We headed downtown to go to the library. I know, right?! I have a library card. Apparantly, with the economy, library card applications are on the rise. Then we ended up in Japanese Village for dinner at Oomasa. After dinner we walked over to Yogurtland, which hasn’t gone out of business and as of this writing seems to be thriving.

Wastin’ Gas

We just drove around today. Until the sunset and then got yogurt. Red Mango. Which as of this late writing has gone out of business.

Long Beach Aquarium

After the Doo Dah Parade we headed down to Long Beach to go to the aquarium. To see the aquaria. They were reopening for the night between 5 and 9pm. From Pasadena we stopped by the house, then Yogurtland for a quick treat before heading down. We did a little tour of Long Beach then parked and bought our tickets. It wasn’t as crowded as I was thinking it might be so that was good and we could walk around easily.

I like the tanks where you can pet things. Like rays! Rays are cool. Unless your name is Steve. Then they’re so not cool. Sharks are ok, they’re just not rays. Sharks have bad connotations too. Such as “shark bite”. You don’t want one of those. A “ray bite” is not so bad. It’s more like a slobbery dog kiss. Calling someone a “shark” is bad. Such as “pool shark”. Again, “pool ray”, not as bad. Then there’s guys named Ray. They’re always nice. If I met a guy named Shark I’d hate him immediately. A ray of light is a good thing too. And don’t get me started how much I hate my Shark Hand Vac. It’s lame.

Anyway, I liked the rays, I liked the sea lions, I liked the puffins, I liked the sea dragons, I liked the jellyfish, but I didn’t like the caf?©. Lousy food. Liza was disappointed in the Liza fish. A genus of the mullet fish.
