Point Loma

I finally went on a new San Diego adventure this weekend. I decided to venture out to find the Real World San Diego House after a blog comment by Carsen. It took me at least an hour to find it once I got to the neighborhood. Its really hidden and you can only access the side and rear of the house. I walked 50 yds down an alley and decided it wasn't down it because it looked like a fish processing warehouse strip, but later found it another 50 yds down that alley.




The best picture I could get. The RW paint was a brighter blue with a yellowish door. Not quite the same as it's Boom- Bazooka Joe days.


next door in the same alley. This ended up being some sort of mostly abandoned store fronts.


The view from the docks.


Zoomed in from across the harbor

Other pics of Point Loma. I hope you wnat to see boat pics
















I will post more pics later this week of another section of the city that I visited. That way I have more frequent blog posts.

Bad Blogger :(

I'm a little slow on posting lately, sorry.

First and foremost, I must say:

YAY STEELERS!



One of my coworkers had a Superbowl party at his house that I attended. It was fun. I of course, was the only Steeler fan there. I took the same custom iced "Go Steelers" brownies that I posted pictures of after the Charger game. The Ravens Fan coworker was there and now routing for the Cardinals out of bitterness for losing to me on the last playoff game. He rearranged the brownies to say "To Loser" and I bet him that the losing team had to eat those brownies. When the Steelers won, I made him eat his words, literally. Not so bad for him though, they were pretty good brownies. Special thanks to Aiton, Hilly, Carsen and Yuki for my awesome pre-Super Bowl Steeler Package! I got an awesome new Steeler Hoodie, Tee, Stickers, Temporary Tattoos, and last but not least, badass Polamalu jersey earrings!

It's been raining for the past two weekends in a row, which is rare for So Cal. I went to LA Sunday and Monday of President's Day weekend. Sunday was chilly, but mostly sunny and I forgot to take out my camera. But I didn't go anywhere new anyway. Monday was all rain. I mostly went shopping, LA is good for that!

Also, special thanks to my fairy godmother Joanne for my awesome V-day package! Much like my Steeler package, the contents were quickly put to use before I took my camera out, whoops. Yay Candy and Goodies! Thanks Joanne!

I don't have much for new pics...So here are some ones I took of Carlsbad Beach 3 weeks ago! I miss everyone!!!! Hugs :)

San Diego Pics

Before my Segway tour, I had about 20 minutes to take some pics of downtown SD from the Coronado shore. As I mentioned in a previous post, it is difficult to ride a Segway and use a camera at the same time, so I'm glad I took time beforehand to take take these.
















These last ones are testing the 10x zoom on my new camera.

Short Segway Videos

I bought a new digital camera 2 weeks ago. Here are my first short videos made on my new camera. I was trying to figure out video mode while trying to balance on a Segway. It was a challenge. I made the mistake of turning the camera sideways while shooting like I do when I take photos..oops.

San Diego by Segway

My bestest friend Janice got me a Segway tour of San Diego for Xmas. So Awesome! There were 3 other people on the tour. They were really nice. We took a hands-on 30 minute lesson on how to ride it and then started our tour. It was super easy to get the hang of and so much fun.

The tour was of a peninsula across from downtown San Diego called Coronado. It was a really cool place where apparently rich people live. All the houses are different, due to a building restriction code and they haven't been aloud to build anything over 4 stories tall in over 40 years. There are only about 4 buildings that are tall and even they are only 20 stories or less.

Here is round one of my pics. These are the ones I took while on the Segway. I will post a video I took while on it and some more pics of downtown later this week.

After my last post, you'd think I'd have the sense not to post a picture of myself on the internet. But apparently, I have no sense or shame. So here's me on my super fun segway, with a helmet nonetheless.


One thing about a tour on a segway is that it is really difficult to take picture while on it and stay balanced.


Our guide was a retired Navy guy who totally reminded me of Wilson the neighbor from Home Improvement. He was great...and he didn't have to wear a helmet.


Some of the areas we rode through we kinda crowded and people we passed stared and commented.

Go Steelers!

My coworker sent me a pic of himself to let me know who he is rooting for this Sunday.


But me and my friend Photoshop airbrushed some sense into him :)

Sweet Revenge

As the famous saying goes, Revenge is a dish best served as cold brownies with black and yellow icing....at least I think that's how the saying goes ;)


Yes, I did the icing myself ;)


My coworkers were greeted with this display by the front door.

Revenge while recycling








Since I won all my anti-Charger bets I didn't feel like I should be spending too much money to exact my revenge, so I took the liberty of recycling the items that were placed in my cubicle Friday such as streamers, balloons, and signs. Sharpies are so fun sometimes.





Since the Steelers won, our receptionist is now sporting a Hines Ward desktop wallpaper for the week and our sales guy has my nice terrible towel to stare at in his cubicle all week. I have a Ravens fan in the office for new bets this Sunday. Go Steelers!
