Down in town the sunset of this day has me looking forward to...

 

 

...Friday when IRON MAN 3 opens. I won a ticket at work to see

IRON MAN when it came out. And then against all odds I won a

ticket at work to see IRON MAN 2 when it came out. And believe

me, if I won a a ticket at work to see IRON MAN 3, it would be a real
miracle because they don't do things like that for us anymore.

 

Pictured above is my Marvel Iron Man 3 Titan Hero Series Avengers

Initiative Classic Series Iron Man Figure. Quick! Say that fast! Okay...

*deep breath* Marvelironman3titanheroseriesavengersinitiativeclassic-

seriesironmanfigure. That's right, I DID IT. It's my birthday! It's my birthday!

Woop woop!

 

Wo, I almost forgot to mention why I am so excited to see IM3.

Four words: Robert Freakin Downey Jr. You  are now
in the know.

If you were the band, would you have used this for your

CD cover? Yeah, me neither.

You're going to be so bored with me.

 

Because of where I went again today.

 

 

And what I ate again while I was there.

 

I've been very lucky to have been able to eat my all-time

favorite food quite a bit lately. I imagine that will

come to an end at any time for one reason or another.

Here is a street I pass by every once in a while.

Disney Lane. I wonder what the story behind it is.

In this area the folks who first lived here were

occasionally able to name their own roads.

"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"

A snake in the queue of the "Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of

the Forbidden Eye" ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

My son took this picture.

I passed by these awesome rocks today...

 

 

...to get to this place (Best Buy)...

 

 

...to buy this (Rob Zombie's Venomous Rat Regeneration

Vendor)...

 

 

... and then to this place (Fry's Electronics)...

 

 

...to buy this (Victorinox Classic Tiger Stripe Pattern knife).

 

Actually, I went to Fry's to pick up some more compressed air,

but I found the knife (and I need another knife to be certain) and

also the double feature Blu-ray of "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The

Golden Age" on sale so there ya go.

Na na na na, na na na na.
Hey hey hey, a belated Easter bunny present.

I think that there cow is ready to go to work.

Please forgive me, but...

 

...by the looks of the weather from this Kmart parking lot,

it's another beautiful day just perfect for...

 

 

...PIZZA!

Choo Choo! Here comes the pizza train!

 

Sometimes when I am sitting at my computer late at night

I revisit my pizza posts, just to fantasize.

I was at the mall and I did not eat at Panda Express even though

I didn't not want to. I didn't because I had Sbarro's Pizza. I just avoid

talking about it because I still can't pronounce it.

 

 

But I did go to the Target store were I took this lousy

picture with my (again) beloved iPod.

 

 

And I did get a good price on the new Total Recall movie that I've

been wanting to see and I got a great price on The Very Best of

The Eagles CD. Every song a hit on that one. You forget just how

many hits they have had until you go through them.

"MARINE WIFE. Toughest job in the corps."
I don't doubt it. Spotted on a car today.

Another of my cherished friends.

I don't like any of that stuff. Never been keen on shrimp
and anchovies are just too dern salty.

Tuesday was kind of a cloudy day as seen from our
Walmart parking lot.

I went to the movies again last night.

 

 

I really wanted to see the new Evil Dead remake and last night

was the only chance I would have to go for a while, I think. So

I went. My ticket is pictured above along with one of my NECA Evil

Dead 2 figures. This one is Hero Ash. The remake was okay. If you

go to see it, stay through the credits.

 

 

And of course I oinked out on popcorn. Last night was a rare if not

a totally one time occurrence for me. I was at the theater when three
movies I had seen were all playing. Oz The Great and Powerful, the

waste of space Olympus Has Fallen and now Evil Dead. And there are

still quite a few movies coming up that I want to see, and if I am lucky,

I will.

 

"Cinema 6" photo was taken with my lousy flip phone. The Snack Bar photo

was taken with my (again) beloved iPod which takes lousy pictures.

A picture at Pearl Harbor taken by my mom in April, 2012.

& Seafood.

Yesterday I wrote that I had gone to the hardware store to buy

a hex wrench for a new knife that I bought. The knife is a KA-BAR

Becker BK2.

 

This is kind of a poor person's heavy duty knife. There are people that

swear by the Becker BK line and think they are the best thing since

sliced bread. Then there are those that never eat bread, sliced or otherwise.

The jury is still out with me. I need to work on the edge a bit. The sheath

was so tight that I had to put the dang thing between my feet and pull with

two hands to get it out. I fixed that problem by leaving the knife half in

 and half out of the sheath for about 24 hours. The hex wrench is to tighten

the grip panels. I think I will do as suggested and Loctite Blue them. I'm not

posting the specs as they can be found all over the net.

 

If the story is true, this is why KA-BAR brand is called... KA-BAR. A long

time ago a fur trapper wrote a testimonial to the company. It was written in very

rough English. He had written that when his firearm failed him, he turned to his

knife to "kill a bar" that was wounded and attacking him. But the way he had

written it, it looked like "ka bar". And there ya go. The company had a name.

 

I would've been waiting for that guy back in the car. I ain't a bear person.

I don't go to hardware stores very often, but when I do I find them

fascinating. There's so much cool stuff that you don't see in a lot

of other stores. I went there today to find a hex wrench for a new

knife I bought. I'm going to post a photo of that knife here shortly.

 

 

When I do go to the hardware store I usually buy a little cactus or

succulent to have inside our house beneath our kitchen window.

I have quite a few of them that I have purchased over the years.

I can actually find a lot of them growing wild around here, but I

seldom take them out of the ground or take cuttings. Today I bought

this awesome aloe succulent. I can't wait to watch it grow.

~ Richard Brooker, 1954 - 2013 ~ 

Richard Brooker played Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 3D.

He was my all time favorite Jason by far. And Mr. Brooker was the

first Jason to wear the iconic hockey Mask.

Rest in Peace Richard Brooker.
 

 

Picture above are my copies of F13 3D on DVD and Blu-ray. Also

pictured is my NECA Series 2 Jason Voorhees 7" Figure.

~ Annette Funicello, 1942 - 2013 ~

Annette Funicello was a part of my life growing up. There is much

I could write here, too much, so I will leave it at

Rest in Peace, Annette.

I posted this picture on February 10, 2013. I had

written, "Think of it as art."

 

 

I took this picture tonight, now two months later.

I think we can think of it as litter now.

I'm not sure what that thing way up on the mountain is.

I'm a member of the Regal Crown Club and had earned a

free movie ticket. It was set to expire soon so I used it tonight.

There was absolutely nothing that I wanted to see so I just kind of

had to choose what I thought might be the lesser of all evils.

 

 

I went to see "Olympus Has Fallen". If your idea of a good "action

movie" involves seeing the White House destroyed, the Washington

Monument fall in a very Twin Tower like fashion and seeing an

older woman being brutally beaten by a terrorist in an effort to extract

a secret code from her, then this is your movie.

 

I cannot recommend this movie even slightly. It is a waste of space IMHO.

All I liked about the movie (however unredeemable) was Robert Forster

looking pretty darn sexy and Gerard Butler because I don't know why, I just

seem to like him.

 

 

But hey, I did score this G.I. Joe Retaliation poster. Another movie I have

no interest in, but I like movie posters. This was the first time in a while

that they have been handing posters out.

Now that I look at her, she does look a little

more oinkish than skullish.

Don't you just love See's Candies? See's Candies was founded in 1921

in Los Angeles, California by Charles See, his wife Florence and his

mother, Mary. They make many types of chocolate candies for all
occasions. The simple black and white motif of the See's stores
was an effort to resemble Mary See's own home kitchen.

 

I grew up going to See's in California. When you go into a See's store,

they always offer a free chocolate to sample. Today I was given a chocolate

truffle with walnut. I made that piece last about five bites. It was very

good. My reason for stopping in today was to pick up a belated Easter gift.

Above is the box of milk chocolates I purchased and my sample which you
can see I had taken a first bite of.

No fishing, no swimming, just play with the freakin' ducks.
