Day 3358 - Led Zeppelin "In Through The Out Door" - 07.31.20

Today I listened to "In Through The Out Door."  It was something I saw today.

Day 3357 - Lesley Gore "The Golden Hits Of Lesley Gore" - 07.30.20

Today I listened to some Lesley Gore.  I listened to side two twice because it kicks off with "You Don't Own Me" which is an awesome track.  The opening piano riff is super dramatic and sort of ominous.  I love it.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3356 - The Grassroots "Let's Live For Today" - 07.29.20

I picked this record up off the shelf this afternoon.  I wasn't sure if I had every really listened to it.  Chances are I popped it on whenever I bought it, but I couldn't remember.  As it turns out it is a decent record.  The track "Let's Live For Today" I did know and it a stand out track.  Yet another record I'd like to digitize and have on my computer as well.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3355 - Baja Marimba Band "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?" - 07.28.20

This morning I listened to this record twice.  There is a track on side two called "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" that caught me off guard.  It starts off very much how you'd expect a track from The Baja Marimba Band, but somewhere in the middle or back half of the song all these trippy sounds start to infect the song.  I sat there listening thinking "what is going on?" in the best possible way.  After listening to side two I had to relisten again just for that track.  I then listened to side one again.  I need to get this record into the computer.  I really would like to put that track into a mix somewhere.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3354 - 1500 Piece Lego Set - 07.27.20

Today when my wife went shopping at Costco she and my son decided it would be fun to have some Legos around to play with to pass the time.  They were actually pretty cheap.  It is amazing how inexpensive they can be when they aren't some licensed them set like Star Wars.  I think these will be fun.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3353 - Son Of Godzilla - 07.26.20

This evening was a very lazy day with lots of movie watching.  After watching "M*A*S*H", "The Clock" and "Judy" we ended the day with some absolute cinematic joy, "Son Of Godzilla."  This is something I saw today.

Day 3352 - Star Wars Puzzle - 07.25.20

Today we went to Target in search of Diet Dr. Pepper.  It was a bust.  We can't find it anywhere.  While we were there at Target we did pick up a Star Wars puzzle, which seems like it will be fun.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3351 - Vallarta Taqueria Panderia Tortilleria - 07.24.20

Today at lunch we went to Vallarta to pick up some fresh tortillas and a few other supplies.  We had chicken mole this evening.  This is a cart return in the parking lot.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3350 - Dracula Card - 07.23.20

I love that Dracula exists in the Marvel Universe.  I have a bunch of the old Tomb Of Dracula issues and I have the 4 volumes of Essential Tomb of Dracula that collect all of the old issues.  This is s trading card from 1992.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3349 - Coriky LP - 07.22.20

My Coriky record arrived in the mail yesterday and I instantly put it on and listened to it a couple times.  It was still on the turntable this morning.  I like the nice note that came with the record.  They are so nice over at Dischord.  By the way, if anyone is looking for some music with some substance to it, I can't recommend this record highly enough.  Good stuff.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3348 - Criterion Godzilla Blu-ray Collection The Showa Era Films, 1954-1975 - 07.21.20

This weekend while I was watching Godzilla movies I looked up the Criterion collection on Amazon and saw that it was half off.  I immediately ordered it and it arrived today.  The packaging in glorious.  It comes as a nice coffee table book.  I was so giddy with excitement as I thumbed through it today.  "Godzilla Vs. Mothra" is first up from the collection.  It is one of my favorites, and could actually be my favorite.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3347 - King Kong The Original Motion Picture Score - 07.20.20

Yesterday I watched "King Kong Vs. Godzilla" and so when I was looking for a record to play this morning, this one stood out as a must listen.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3346 - Koyaanisqatsi Life Out Of Balance LP - 07.19.20

Today I thew on the score to "Koyaanisqatsi" while I read Stephen King's "The Dead Zone."  It was a nice combination.  This is something I saw today.

This afternoon I threw on a few records from the eighties.  Some John Waite which for some reason made me want to listen to some Night Ranger.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3343 - The Honeymooners Game - 07.16.20

Can't remember If I have photographed this game before.  There is a good chance that I have.  I saw it in the closet today and thought it was worthy of a picture today even if I have done it before.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3342 - More Of The Monkees - 07.15.20

Today I listened to some Monkees.  I haven't listened to any of their music in a long time.  They sounded great.  This record has "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" which is one of my favorite Monkees songs.  It also has a few other great tracks featuring Mickey Dolenz like "She", "Mary, Mary" and "I'm A Believer"  This is something I saw today.

This is Alice in paper form.  This is something I saw today.

I listened to this record one and a half times today.  I listened to side one twice.  "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" kicks off side one and it sounds great.  I had to listen to it twice.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3339 - Big Cute Eyes - 07.12.20

Baby Yoda's eyes are so big and cute.  We rewatched the first six episodes of The Mandalorian today.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3338 - Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" - 07.11.20

Today I threw Black Sabbath on the old record player.  Nothing like some dark and scary music on a Saturday afternoon.

Day 3337 - Masks - 07.10.20

Here are a bunch of my masks next to the window so they can sit in the sun.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3335 - Svengoolie - 07.08.20

I ordered this Svengoolie doll for father's day.  It came while I was out of town.  He looks great, with the exception of his hat which is too small for his head.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3334 - Retro Doritos Bag - 07.07.20

I bought this bag in Arizona.  I lived the retro bag and especially the old Doritos logo.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3333 - Clint Eastwood Mural In Banning - 07.06.20

This morning while waiting for our car to be fixed we waled over to a great restaurant called Gramma's Country Kitchen.  It was excellent and I highly recommend it.  Along the way I spotted this mural on the side of a barber shop.  I took note and once the car was fixed I drove back over so I could take this photo.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3332 - Baby Yoda And A Bag Of Ice - 07.05.20

Today when traveling back to California we did our usual stop at the Flying J for gas.  I was taking some photos of Baby Yoda and the ice delivery guy asked me if I wanted to take a photo of Baby Yoda with a bag of ice.  Of course I said yes.  So we took this photo on the back of his truck.  And then the nice guy gave us the bag of ice.  We put is in our cooler.  This was handy because a couple hours later our car broke down.  After a couple hours in the desert heat our car was towed into Banning, California.  We ended up having to get a motel room to stay the night because our car cant' be fixed until tomorrow.  Once we finally settled in, it was nice to have some very cold drink all thanks to this bag of ice.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3331 - Gaetano - 07.04.20

This is my nephew's son again.  He new sits still and so capturing a photo that is crisp and in focus has been a challenge.  This one the focus on his eye is rock solid and looks great.  I also like the bounced light from underneath. This is something I saw today.

Day 3330 - Please No Photos - 07.03.20

This is my nephew's wife.  She asked me to take some photos for her for her instagram account.  At the very end I had this idea for a this photo as if she didn't want her photo taken, but where you could still see her eyes.  I am really happy with the way it came out.  This is something I saw today.

Here is the painted rabbit at my mom's house again.  I know I just had him in a photo, but I really liked this one.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3324 - Baby Yoda At Zuma Beach - 06.27.20

This morning we got up early and drove out to Zuma just so that we could walk on the beach for a few hours.  My wife and I usually walk around the neighborhood, but we thought we'd get a change of scenery and the beach is also very soothing.  We went early enough that it was not very crowded.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3323 - Different Seasons By Stephen King - 06.26.20

This is one of four Stephen King books I bought about a year and a half ago.  They were each fifty cents.  I finished "Christine" earlier this year (I'm a slow reader) and now I am working my way through these four stories.  I've read "Rita Hayworth And Shawshank Redemption" and "Apt Pupil" and I'm in the middle of "The Body."  This is something I saw today.
