The plan for today was to go to the Mitsuwa Marketplace for lunch and shopping and then a Padres game in the evening. I found Mitsuwa a few years back when I was just looking for a Japanese bookstore in town, and ended up finding a place that I have to go at least once [...]
Apparently, I survived my first earthquake. According to this Yahoo News report:
**********
The strongest earthquake to strike a populated area of Southern California in more than a decade rattled windows and chandeliers, made buildings sway and sent people running into the streets on Tuesday. But there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage.

We were talking about going to the San Diego Zoo the other night and Becky’s grandma was saying that she hadn’t been in a long time because it is difficult for her to get around now. I told her that we had three guys that would be willing to push her around in a wheel [...]
Today, we decided to go to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Here are the photos…
Here’s an interim update post of the original commissions/sketches that I was able to pick up during this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, they’re small, digital pics and not nice, big, flatbed scans, but I’ll get those done once we’re back in Austin. For now, this will have to do. I’ll start with one [...]

It’s late again and this time I’m really going to try to limit my text and not have too much description. I had a request for more photos of toys, so I tried to shoot as much toy related stuff as I saw that I found interesting. There’s more that missed the cut because of [...]
It’s really late…after midnight here which means after 2am central. I’m still not fully adjusted, so I’m getting tired. Have to get up early for another day at Comic Con. Tonight’s post will be mostly photos with very little text, but there are LOTS of photos, so I wanted to do this now instead of [...]
Today was Preview Night at Comic Con. If you have a full con pass, you get the opportunity to get your pass a day early and they also open the doors for 3 bonus hours so that you can preview all of the excitement before everyone else. Basically, an extra 3 hours of insanity before [...]
