Now vacation truly seems far away! It's already been over two weeks since I returned home and now work is threatening to override all that wonderful relaxation! To make matters worse, in the middle of this heat wave, the roofers have arrived to redo our condo roofs and hot tar is getting poured on the building. It's just to hot to concentrate or think clearly.

This is impacting my back to school strategy of writing all the rough draft essays this week so I can be ahead of schedule. It's just so hard to concentrate. I thought I would be all smart and take a test with only a half effort at studying and the results were not good! Luckily I get two more chances to take the test so I have been practicing.

Tomorrow I'm off to El Centro and visiting the land of sand dunes doesn't seem as appealing as it did a month ago. Oh well, work calls!

At the end of the week is San Diego's annual Street Scene, except 6 weeks early and in the stadium parking lot instead of the gaslamp. It may be better than previous years or this could be my last year. I'm looking forward to Black-eyed Peas, White Stripes, 311, and Flogging Molly!

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!
