After the Star Trek show, we walked around the Queen Mary area and stumbled upon the Scorpion Russian Submarine. It looked interesting and we decided to take a look inside.
Here’s the front torpedo bay.
The torpedos were surprisingly big.
The dining room is a bit cramped.
But still better than the toilet.
If things get bad, you can always put on the escape suit and climb through the torpedo tubes.
The rest of the pictures can be found the gallery.
Went to Star Trek the Tour this weekend with my friends Nick and Marcella. Here we are on the set on the original series bridge showing off our best Trek moves. The show had a lot of props and costumes from all the different Trek shows and movies. They even had a couple of simulator rides (think Star Tours) . Only odd thing was that the show was next to the Queen Mary in the dome that use to house the Spruce Goose.
So I’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight when New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle comes on. Can’t believe that New Order is now mainstream, easy listening, background music. Back in high school they were considered a cool band. Guess the 80s are now a novelty period just like we use to think of the 50s and 60s when I was younger.
Wow, Harrison Ford doesn’t look old at all. The trailer looks really good. Hopefully Shia LaBeouf as Indy’s son won’t be too annoying.
Check out the new Elmo toy. He sings, he dances, he sits, and he stands by himself. Watch the first video with Elmo rapping and doing jazz hands. Be sure to watch the video again but focus on the creepy actor dude behind Elmo. Thats one weird, nerdy dude with zero rhythm!
A friend and I got bored and decided to go on a walking tour of downtown LA. We got about halfway through before calling it quits due to possible rain. Yes we are wimps. All the pictures are in my gallery.
This is the Bradbury building used in Blade Runner, one of my favorite movies. Building was also used in a music video from Heart.
Here’s another movie location. This one is from the scene in Fight Club where the giant ball sculpture is blown off its base.
The LA Central Market where you can get all kinds of food and stuff.
The shiny Disney Concert Hall.
People like to leave their mark on the concert hall.
The Angels Flight Incline, its no longer in operation.
I wonder what it means if I’ve been dreaming of donuts. And I mean an intense desire for donuts as in Homer Simpson. In my dream I couldn’t get enough donuts and ate boxes of them, and all different kinds too.
I’m tired of being stalked by Priuses when I’m walking in parking lots. At low speeds they run completely on their electric motors and you can’t hear them until they are right on your butt or passing by. They should be required to install bells on their hoods (like cats) or the drivers should be required to roll down their windows and make car engine noises.
So this is what its like to sit and lounge in a cafe during the work week. As I sit here on a worn out sofa sipping on coffee and surfing the web on my iPhone I finally understand what its like to be a total slacker. I still haven’t figured out why there are always a bunch of people hanging out in cafes during the workday. Don’t these people work? If not, how do they afford the expensive coffee and MacBooks? And most importatntly, how do I get in on that deal?
