No Home, Hotel Hopping

-
Time to explain the blogging gap. On February 18th, I essentially mopped myself out of the house and locked the door. After having the movers put items I wanted in storage, friends take away items for charity, and 800-Got Junk remove the rest, I was living on an air mattress and not much else was left. All that remained to be done was to move my personal stuff to OB's house and pack up what was needed for back to back work trips. From there it has been non-stop hotel hopping and I still haven't spent a night where my stuff is and I'm supposed to be living. Instead, it will be at Homer's house later this week to cat sit, then back to hotels for a couple more nights.

The house officially went on the market today.  The backyard was redone, the interior painted, and based on realtor preview, the price dropped slightly to match the market. Now it's a wait and see. In the meantime I'm mentally planning to do some airbnb stays in different neighborhoods to see what it's like to live there. Hotels are a bit too expensive full time and I don't like eating out all the time. Based on my schedule, that's at least a month away. I think it would be fun to live like a local in Laguna Beach or parts of LA, and even downtown SD during baseball season. 

But I miss the beach and my Carlsbad life so who knows, I might just buy there and stay put. I'll have to wait and see what awaits me.

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!
