Finally a relaxing day! Wonderful Saturday has arrived! Mondo, Ms. Kitty and I did the morning beach walk and got our daily exercise. The key point of exercise is to be able to eat more, so for today's lunch we decided to try the new Portuguese restaurant in OB. We wandered in and found the lunch prices reasonable, the decor inviting and the crowd non-existent. So far, so good. The waitress recommended the tuna steak or cod sandwiches. Mondo as usual stuck with beef, (good call) and I tried the tuna. I took a bite and yuck! I had to spit it out! It was a really poor quality probably old piece of tuna. The waitress seemed confused as to what to do or say, so I assume that my comments were disregarded. The owner didn't come over and they all just sort of stared at my plate of uneaten food as we left. Strange. Well in fairness the other two sandwiches weres good and the other diners appeared happy. Still, you just never know when you're serving someone food safety knowledgeable or a blogger. I my case both. I didn't bother to look at the restaurant's name but if you live in OB, you know it's the new one.

Afterwards we settled in for old Farscape viewing and Stella Artois. The food experience was so bad that I could only drink one beer! Luckily I found the cure in choc. chip ice cream just now. Time to watch the DVD of Empire.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
