Whatever. It will always be a singing cartoon duck to me.

I was doing some periodic maintenance and general sprucing
up on a few things today including some of my favorite badges
and I took this picture of them. There are a few badges that I
would love to have that have so far eluded me and I really
doubt that I will ever find or be able to afford them,

but I still think about it.

These are of course reproductions. Not real, but real well made.

 

I'ma baaaaaaaad girl.

I bought these Chocolate Easter Egg candies a week

or two ago and I opened them.

Hey, these are good! I didn't expect them to be wrapped

individually. I had the two strawberry marshmallow flavored

ones. I know we all like specialty shop chocolate, but if you like

some cheap $1 Walmart Easter candy, I totally can recommend

these. And now I will just have to buy more I suppose.

*sigh*

I most certainly will not.

Wait.

I found something really cool at Fry's Electronics. I had

no idea that these things or even this type of thing existed.

It is a Joby Gorillapod Micro250 tripod for point

and shoot cameras.

This tripod will hook up to your camera in seconds. It has rubber

footpads and a ball joint that will allow you to tilt your camera

in any direction up to 36 degrees. It is advertised as something

that you can keep attached to your camera full time so you can

just whip it out at a moment's notice to catch those great shots. 

However, I don't think it fits that bill which is okay because it

just takes seconds to attach anyway.

I paid $19.95 for it, but check out Amazon because I think you

can get it for less than $15.00. I love this thing. It is awesome.

Hey!

Whatever could this movie be about?!

Yummy yummy goodness!

Crystal Lake Memories, The Complete History

of Friday the 13th! Be still my heart.

Today's post isn't a photo I took. Instead it is a postcard that my

cousin sent to me when he went to boot camp (I think it's called

boot camp) for the Air Force in 1980. It shows how the guys get

all their hair cut off when they first check in. It's kind of weird

that they have postcards like this. I wouldn't like this very much.

 

This is an amateur music concert at The Spreckels Organ

Pavilion in Balboa Park, San Diego, California.

This is a real amateur short video of the above.

Everybody roll your eyes,

it's another pizza post.

And all the way from Mars.

This is one of those "things" that you see mixed in with a lot of

other items on a store's shelf. You usually don't really notice stuff

like this. But if you did stop to look at it, you would know that it

was an experiment (quite possibly involving a fly, an avocado
and a football) that went horribly wrong.

When I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean they were

giving out these nifty POTC temporary tattoos. This is

of course a scan of the sheet. I never did use them as

I was afraid of being mistaken for a hooligan.

I decided to take a walk around Rancho De La Tex after

the rains. I don't know how accurate these rain gauges are

but this one says close to nine inches. It has been raining a

lot, I'm just not sure if it is just this much a lot.

So much rain coming down and all this guy collected was a

rock. We should form a club. The fawn makes a

guest appearance.

It looks like my old chair of seventeen years or so has seen

it's last days. This was my old "sit outside and smoke" chair.

I bought it strictly for that purpose. I haven't used it for that

reason for ten years last June. Anyway, I guess it has

held it's last backside.

Think you used enough mousetraps there, Butch?

There aren't a whole lot of oranges there right now, but the

ones that are there are pretty doggoned.... orangy.

Last one for today is a flower.

 Just a short video of some So Cal rain (finally)

while sitting in the car at In N Out.

 

No wonder my foot kept getting caught on the clutch.

 

"Chewie? Chewie, is that you?"

I'd seen this movie with the Black Friday "PROMO"

sticker on it in the $7.88 bin for at least a month. It was

the only one with that sticker in the entire bin. I never

thought the promotion would still work, but I finally decided

to take it to the price checker thing. $3.88. Huzzah!

Yeeeees...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss...

Yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssss...

YES!

We tried a new Tom's restaurant. The burger above was

not mine. This one was a double cheeseburger with bacon

and pastrami on top. And to be honest (blush), mine was

just about as big. Yuhhhhh-MEE.

Just saw this sitting in the house. I have no idea who bought

Richard Simmons stuff. All I know about Richard Simmons

is that he seems to be an okay guy. He has been helping people

for years and years and you never hear anything bad about him.

And if you never saw him guest on a show called "Who's Line Is

It Anyway", you should do yourself a favor and look it up on

YouTube. I've seen it more than once and I rarely laugh that hard.

Especially for repeat viewings.

I'm excited about this. I got my Gravity Blu-ray. This one stars Sandra

Bullock and George Clooney and is outstanding. I saw it in the theater

and I can't wait to see it again. I just wish they would have done a better

job with the Blu-ray artwork. This is the first time I've ever felt that way.

The movie is just epic, but the cover is so blah.

I could not get a good picture of it.

Stand and Deliver!

I just ran across my Adam Ant poster from back in the

day. Adam Ant was thee dude. I liked his music a lot (strings

and marching drums ala' 1700's). With songs like Strip, Friend

or Foe and Dog Eat Dog, Ant Music was hot in the early 80's.

 Adam has quite a background and has had his share of problems,

but he keeps coming back.

And here is something that I didn't really know I had. My

3 Dog Night ticket. I don't want to say how long ago this was,

but look at the price of the ticket. This was my first more or

less "on my own" rock concert and was at The Great Western

Forum in Inglewood, California.

The Forum was one of the former homes to the Los

Angeles Lakers basketball team. I hate basketball.
