Off to see Putting It Together at South Coast Repertory.

How *dare* I try not to run over people!
Got honked at because I actually stopped before turning right at a red light & paused half a second to see if the pedestrian at the corner would step in front of me.
Eye See You
I think the picture says it all.
I took one other picture that’s framed better, but doesn’t have quite the same creepiness factor.
Starbuck(’)s Coffee
I found this sign on the day after National Punctuation Day. You can still see the residue from the adhesive where the extra apostrophe was attached.
Someone clearly got Starbucks Coffee confused with Starbuck’s coffee. Of course, in some cases, they could be the same thing:

Irvine Postcard
Would you believe I found a postcard for Irvine?
It’s a bunch of office buildings with mountains in the background. I guess it makes sense. I mean, what else would you put in an Irvine postcard?
Re-creating Ansel Adams’ UCI
Here’s a cool project: In Ansel Adams’ Footsteps, re-creating his photographs of UC Irvine from the 1960s. There are a lot more trees now. (Or, as a friend pointed out, the trees that were there are a lot taller!) It’s a really impressive look at how the campus has changed…plus it’s always fascinating to look at Ansel Adams’ photography. I remember when I was in college, prints of Adams’ photos lined the walls of one of the Student Center hallways.
A couple of years ago I did my own then and now project — well, less a project than a spur-of-the moment 2007 re-creation of a 1997 photo I took of the Student Center as seen from what was then the Humanities Office Building (now Murray Krieger Hall). In this case the trees hadn’t changed much in 10 years, but UCI had flattened the Student Center complex and built an entirely new one.
Venti Schmenti
So what do you think…
Would it be a bad idea to bring this travel mug to Starbucks?
