Bigfoot sighting in Normal Heights

It would be remiss of me NOT to post this awesome find..

After leaving Blackmarket Bakery, KD needed to drop something off at a local Fed Ex and in doing so, we traversed down Felton Street to get back to the freeway...

The end of an era! New sign for KD's Donuts

It's the end of an era for an infamous South Bay donut shop sign.

From this...

(October 2010) - it had been like this for YEARS I tell you.

which morphed into..

Dessert at 85C, shenanigans @ Zion + more pastries at Paris Baguette with Astroboi

I know you've seen trays like this umpteen times in my previous posts on 85C...

This was Astroboi's inaugural visit. He wanted to see what the hype was about...

More scenes from OB...

Sometime last week, Bert took a day off (since he wasn't on fall break like TC and I)...

We took TC and a friend to OB to hang out...

and to enjoy our beautiful "Fall" weather...

The evolution of the KD's Nuts sign...

If you are from down south, then you know of this place...

Mainly because of their sign with the missing letters...

Photo medley - random meals, funny stuff and more...

It's time again for one of those posts where I compile the pics don't really warrant a full-on post, such as this bitch kickin' pair of purple patent fake Docs.

I don't remember what the brand was, but I know it definitely was NOT Doc Marten's, at only $24.99? Real Docs are $100 or more and better quality than these fake leather shoes. These boots will probably fall apart after two or three wears, but boy, I do like that eggplant shade!

Then again, it's not the 1990's and I'm not Daria Morgendorffer and can get away with wearing these....

Sigh...If only...

Food gifts

A few days ago when I met up with Cathy of mmm-yoso, we exchanged a few food gifts...

Wrapped in the wax paper was a baked delicacy I'd never had before...

Effin' What?

I didn't believe it until I saw it and heard it for myself.

Random stuff from the past few months

Another compendium of odds and ends from the past couple of months...

It took me about a year to finish the first damn book. I think I'm doing better with the second one, "Clash of Kings". Just a few more chapter to go then I can start on the third book and be caught up with the seasons for HBO's "Game of Thrones"!

I must confess, I "cheated" and read ahead on certain chapters in Book 3. Let's put it this way...for Season 3 and Book 3, Ygritte is TOTALLY wrong when she says, "You know nothing Jon Snow...."!

The Hot Seat...literally!

TC is so used to my wierd requests...Sometime last week while on the freeway, I spotted this truck with  a rather curious image from afar...

Me to TC: "Hurry, get the camera from my bag and take a picture of THAT please!!!!"...

((Sigh))...."Okay....mom", fumble, grumble, snap snap....

I mean, this had to be seen to be believed...

Happy Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day people!

"I Got You Babe!"

I think Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today because even though the day started off sunny and slightly warm, it got ugly and cloudy by the early afternoon and stayed that way!

"How It Should Have Ended" - TSBD-Part 2

This is TOTALLY how the movie should have ended!


Errrmahgaaaaad!

Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas!!!

And now a little something from Mr. Billy Idol:

Talk about preserved, but not in a good way????

WTH....

THIS classic song that's more suited to Burl Ives or Brenda  Lee is given the "holiday treatment" from the guy that did "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding?".  Oh Billy, what happened to you?

The Mayans couldn't have prevented this Christmas song disaster!

Funny shirts...

I was recently at a Filipino event and saw these shirts at the LagulaBeach table. Joe Lagula, a local Pinoy, who owns the t-shirt company can be found selling the shirts at the Seafood City parking lot and various Filipino events all over California. I thought this was pretty funny, but vulgar!

For those of you that don't know Tagalog, "dalawang itlog" means "two eggs".  Longanisa are pork sausages.

Yeahhh...

Return to the FreakybutTrue Peculiarium

We tried going here a few days earlier but it was closed, dagnabbit.






























It's a goal of mine to find at least one place like this every time we visit a city. How can ANYBODY pass up this eye catching sign?!

AMF Pro 300 Lanes

After our lunch at Hot Lips (gotta love that name!), we headed over to...

the lanes at AMF Pro 300 on SE Powell...

Awww yeah...

SD Fair 2012 - The Exhibits and more...

As mentioned in the previous post, the theme was "Out of This World".

 Lots of aliens, space ships, Star Trek, and Star Wars stuff going on...

More shops at the Holly Building

A few steps down from Mignon Chocolates was this enticing sign at Tibet Nepal House(see my previous posts here and here)...

Too bad we were still full from our meal at Vien Dong. One day I swear I'll try this....

Can you spot the difference?

Before:

(photo circa December 2010 and current up to maybe one month ago or even less)

After:

(photo taken today!)

SOFA KING HILARIOUS!

For those of you that don't know where this is, it's the corner of Third and Palomar in the western side of Chula Vista.

It was only a matter of time before someone messed with the sign and took off the "K"!

It's the end of an era...

ABC Music Humpday Posts 2.0 - "D" is for...

I must really like this year, because here's another song from 1979.

Let me give you a hint.

This popular rock band appeared on an episode of "What's Happening!!" and it was through this episode that my siblings and I first learned the meaning of the word "bootleg".

As Dwayne would say, "Hey, HEY, hey!" (not to be confused with Fat Albert's "Hey Hey HEY!"
