Here is one of our Buddha head bathed in morning sunlight.  I like the blown out quality of this photo.   This is something I saw today.

Day 2108 - Portrait - 02.27.17

My daughter needed a portrait for some application.  Before getting to the photo for the application I snapped this of her sitting at our dining room table.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2107 - Nesting Doll - 02.26.17

I have photographed this nesting doll before.  Usually it is on the mantle near our front door, but it is on this end table these days.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2106 - Gladys Knight An the Pips "All Time Greatest Hits" - 02.25.17

Today I gave this record a spin.  In fact I gave "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" several spins.  Such a great track.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2105 - The Mattel Toy Store - 02.24.17

This morning I drove to El Segundo for a job interview at Mattel.  Before leaving I took this photo of the Toy Store they had on the first floor of the building.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2104 - Gobo Fraggle and The Poison Cackler - 02.23.17

This past summer a friend at work gave me this record.  I came across it again a couple weeks ago when I was cleaning up and organizing records before my daughter's birthday party.  I saw it on the shelf again this morning and decided it was worthy of a photo.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2103 - For Lease At Sunrise - 02.22.17

I got up early this morning and drove down to Costco to fill my gas tank.  On the way back I snapped this photo of a strip mall near my house.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2102 - One Armed Swordsman Double Feature - 02.21.17

It was another rainy morning here in Los Angeles when I took this photo of this evening's double feature at the New Beverly.  These two film's have been playing every Tuesday at the New Beverly this month.  Tonight I finally was able to attend.  They were super fun.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2101 - Nosferatu The Vampyre Soundtrack - 02.20.17

This album I borrowed from a friend over a year ago and I ripped the audio.  I have listened to those files so many times this past year.  It is a very realizing meditative soundtrack and is great on an early Saturday or Sunday morning.  Well I finally picked up an actual copy for myself so that I could spin the record instead of play off my ipod.  I'm really happy to have it in the collection.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2100 - John Carpenter's The Thing - 02.19.17

This past week I was in the mood for watching John Carpenter's The Thing.  I looked for my DVD and could not find it.  I went to my son to ask him, thinking that perhaps he had borrowed it.  He hadn't, but he did have a Blu-ray of his own that he lent me.  This is it.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2099 - SNDTRK - 02.18.17

I got this record in the mail this week.  It is a bunch of electronic music that sounds like scores to movies that don't exist.  It is pretty good.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2098 - Valley Girl and Say Anything - 02.17.17

I have been looking forward to this double feature for weeks.  Last time Valley Girl played it sold out and I didn't get tickets.  This time I did and I was joined by my wife and daughter.  They almost didn't come because the rain was so bad earlier in the day.  Things were flooding everywhere around Los Angeles.  By the evening things had calmed down and then drove over the hill and made it just in time.  Both movies were great.  The audiences were great too.  I really loved seeing Valley Girl on the big screen because the soundtrack is really great and it was great hearing that pumping out of a big sound system.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2097 - See's Candies General Offices - 02.16.17

This afternoon I drove over to Manhattan Beach for a job interview.  On my way back to the office I passed the See's Candies General Offices.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2096 - Tomb Of Dracula Vol. 2 - 02.15.17

I have been reading a lot of Tomb Of Dracula recently.  I have had this collection for a while now, but recently Blade was on my mind and so I watched some of Blade I and then have been reading a bunch of Tomb of Dracula issues with Blade.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2095 - Dead Or Alive "Brand New Lover" - 02.14.17

For Valentine's day I pulled Dead or Alive's "Brand New Lover" record off the shelf.  I almost played this this past weekend at the party, but it never actually made it to the turn table.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2094 - The Time - 02.13.17

This past weekend at my daughter's birthday party I spun a bunch of funk and dance records.  This debut record by The Time was one of them.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2093 - Vladimir Horowitz Record - 02.12.17

This morning I listened to a few classical records.  This Horowitz record was one of them.  Very relaxing.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2092 - Birthday Photos - 02.11.17

Even though my daughter's birthday was a couple weeks ago this evening we finally had the party with all of her friends.  The whole day was spent cleaning the house, shopping for food and  re-arranging furniture.  Everyone had a really good time.  This is her friends all with their cameras out before she blew out her candles.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2091 - Lego Warner Bros. TV - 02.10.17

This past week Warner Bros' revealed a whole bunch of new billboards outside the studio.  They replaced their usual TV show billboards with Lego versions.  They are absolutely great.  Here are two of them.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2090 - Gary Myrick and The Figures - 02.09.17

Today's record selection is "Gary Myrick and The Figures" which is a great 80's record that I picked up years and years ago.  This has the great song "She Talks In Stereo."  This is something I saw today.

Day 2089 - David Bowie "Scary Monsters" - 02.08.17

Today I am continuing my David Bowie odyssey with Bowie's "Scary Monsters" record.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2088 - David Bowie "Young Americans" - 02.07.17

This couple weeks I have been revisiting a bunch of David Bowie.  Last week I even watched "The Man Who Fell To Earth".  So since I've been listening to Bowie I pulled "Young Americans" off the shelf for a photo today.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2087 - Metallica "Ride The Lightning" - 02.06.17

Today I was thinking about some of the records I have in the collection and how crazy it is that just a few years ago before vinyl had its resurgence I found so many records for almost nothing in thrift stores or got for free from people giving them to me.  This Metallica record falls into the free category.  Hard to believe someone gave me this masterpiece.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2086 - Donavon Frankenreiter "Move By Yourself" - 02.05.17

This weekend I was browsing the record shelf looking for a Frankie Goes to Hollywood record and I came across my Donavon Frankenreiter record.  I hadn't listened to this in years so I pulled this out as well and gave it a spin instead.  It was like an old friend.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2085 - Dancer In The Alley - 02.04.17

This afternoon my daughter wanted to take some dance photos so we just went into the alley by our house and took some photos.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2084 - Tulip Chairs - 02.03.17

This evening when I got home from work I was met with a surprise gift from my parents.  My wife and I have been eyeing these red and white tulip chairs for a few years now, but have never been able to afford them.  Needless to say, I was thrilled.  It is nice to have chairs that actually go with the table.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2083 - The Changeling, Amityville II and The Evil - 02.02.17

This evening is a horror triple feature and it is going to be a long night.  I took this photo at the New Beverly this morning.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2082 - Darby Crash Photo - 02.01.17

This morning my friend at work brought in some pictures for his office wall.  When he told me that he brought in a Darby Crash photo I told him my son would go crazy if to see that.  And then to my surprise my friend got the photo and gave it to me to give to my son.  I quickly took a photo of the photo and sent it to my son.  He was super excited.  This is the photo on a wall in my record room.  I put it up in place of my Jay Reatard photo just for this photo.  The photo will go into my son's room.  After doing some research I have learned that the photo was taken by Ed Colver in 1980.  This is something I saw today.
