Highlights of the Zombie Walk

Misc. Photography Notes

I switched websites to display my photos. The new site is: HERE. This one is much cleaner, looks better and gives me more ability to move things around.

I decided to start a separate page for my photography. This way I can send strangers and random people to check it out and keep my random photography news separate. Here is the link if you want to become a fan: HERE

Tomorrow, I am taking pictures of the zombie walk in Fremont and they are going to announce the winners for the photography marathon. YAY! Wish me luck!

Superstar In the Making

My cousin, Mitch, has a daughter named Sammie. At her pre-school graduation, she got to sing a solo of "God Bless America." Here is the adorable video:



The look of "amateurs" while the guy fiddles with the microphone is classic.

This Week In Netflix

"The Rocker" (2008) Description from Netflix: When a washed-up drummer (Rainn Wilson) from an 1980s supergroup reluctantly accepts a gig on the skins in his nephew's high school band, he discovers that his dreams of rock 'n' roll stardom haven't completely died. Can he take his new band, A.D.D., all the way to the top? Directed by Peter Cattaneo, this lighthearted comedy also stars Christina Applegate, Josh Gad, Jane Lynch and Emma Stone.

This was surprisingly good. It has a lot of heart mixed in with the comedy. I would recommend this one. If it was on sale, I would probably even add this to my collection.

"New In Town" (2009) Description from Netflix: The weather isn't the only drastic change for high-paid consultant Lucy Hill (Renée Zellweger) when she's sent from her home base in South Beach, Fla., to a small Minnesota town to improve the productivity of a local manufacturing plant. The town's residents also take some getting used to, especially the ruggedly handsome union boss (Harry Connick Jr.) who's doing his darnedest to make sure that Lucy doesn't cut any jobs.

Renee Zellweger does her Sandra Bullock impersonation in the romantic comedy. Sandra Bullock does it better. Renee just isn't as likeable as Sandra in these type roles. This is just an okay movie that even if you don't like Tapioca, you will be craving it at the end of the movie.

"The Bank Job" (2008) Description from Netflix: Based on a true 1971 event, this thriller tells the story of Terry (Jason Statham), a car dealer who becomes involved in a London bank heist only to find that the contents of the bank vault will draw him deeply and irrevocably into the city's criminal underbelly. Murder and scandal abound in this tale of corruption populated with a surprising mix of offenders, from low-level thugs to government officials and all the way up to the royal family.

This was surprisingly good. Not like his more recent films at all. Very well done. I highly recommend!

Good Advice...

I came across this article called "How to Meet and Woo a Nerdy Girl" on a blogger site called "The Park Bench."

It's pretty accurate, although I think "geeky" is better word than "nerdy."

Here are the key points that the article outlines what to do. Read the article for more details:

Tip #1: Know where to look.
Tip #2: It helps to look like this guy: (Pictured is David Tennant)
Tip #3: Read lots of books.
Tip #4: Don’t slack off on your video game skills.
Tip #5: Listen to NPR.
Tip #6: Be interesting.
Tip #7: Know your pop culture references.
Tip #8: Compliment her by saying, “You remind me so much of Liz Lemon.”
Tip #9: Embrace her collectibles.
Tip #10: Be willing to go to conventions.
Tip #11: Know what to do in a zombie attack.

I think #11 is the most important because we don't want to have to come rescue your sorry butt. #8 doesn't mean as much to me, but all the rest are completely accurate.

I Was Interviewed

Here is the LINK to the actual website where itthe interview occurs. It also has links to my photos. For convenience sake, here is the interview:



As I say in the interview, I had been awake almost 24 hours at that point. I plead temporary insanity. Enjoy!
