I photographed artist Dale Chihuly’s amazing glass sculpture exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix yesterday. The exhibit ends on May 31st and I wanted to see it before it left. I also got some good shots of the plants and surrounding landscape.

New music on a Sunday night

I just happened to stumble across this new single by Butterfly Boucher called Gun for a Tongue. You may recall that she did a duet of Changes with David Bowie on the Shrek 2 soundtrack a few years ago.

You know, I’m not surprised that someone would make a porno about the octomom, Nadya Suleman. What makes me gag is that they found someone who looks so much like her to star in the damn thing. I don’t even want to think about some greasy straight guy watching this.

I know everyone else is posting these guys. But, you have to watch this until the gal with the keyboard interviews Dick Cheney. It is the funnies thing I’ve seen in days.

A Flickr favorite

This is one of my favorite places in Monterey, El Estero Park. This is one of the spots that I’ll miss. It is a very quiet place to just sit and watch the birds in the water. I’m really not surprised that this is one of my most viewed Flickr photos.

I saw this over at Joe.My.God. yesterday. It is a spoof on those stupid commercials that promote high-fructose corn syrup as being “safe in moderation.”

I was inspired to make this after watching the following video from College Humor Orginials:

I made an xtranormal version of the Big Gay Collab video tonight. I know it isn’t better than the original. But, I figured it would lead xtranormal fans to the video on YouTube.

My friend Glen sent this to me. Of course, I just had to change it a bit. Anyway, I was one of those weird little boys who loved Winnie the Pooh. This made me laugh out loud.

Here’s an interesting photo I took last year in San Juan Bautista. It is the hood ornament on a Cadillac that I saw in a funeral procession at the Mission. I don’t know anything else about it.

Cadillac Hood Ornament
 

I do know that hood ornaments are collector’s items. I suppose that’s why this photo gets so many views. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing some artistic manipulation of this image in Photoshop.

This is NOT safe for work! If you don’t want your co-workers to hear the f-word sang over and over again in the infectiously happy voice of Lily Allen, wait until you get home to play this video.

I’ve only been in Phoenix for a few days and I already feel like a fish out of water. Living in such a conservative place is going to take a lot of getting used to — nevermind the hellish weather.  

fritz_arizona.jpg I have to face up to the fact that I’m living in a place that likes John McCain and lives off the oppression of immigrants. I paid the guys who unloaded my uHaul $100 and was told by a local that I shouldn’t have paid them more than $35. There were four men and it took them two hours. I think $100 was a bargain. If I’d paid them $35, that would have been about $4.38 an hour!

Also, I found out that Phoenix doesn’t have a Public Safety Department. If you see that a 30-foot wall is about to collapse or if children are playing on dangerous playground equipment, there isn’t anyone here who will take responsibility for it. The police and fire departments won’t come if you call. 

What kind of insane hellhole is this? This is the world that Republicans want all of us to live in, folks.

Movin’ to Phoenix

Ford F350 U-Haul truck in Hampton, VA.

Image via Wikipedia

I’m on the road to Phoenix with a uHaul packed with all my worldly goods. The trip got off to a horrible start this afternoon. A tour bus full of French tourists turned over on the overpass outside of Soledad and Cliff and I got stuck in a four-hour traffic jam.

The bus was a twisted mess. According to the news reports, several people were ejected from the bus when it hit the guardrail.

Later, an idiot pulled in front of me and STOPPED on the freeeway. I had to break hard and the uHaul is so loaded with furniture and stuff that it didn’t want to slow down. That was a close call!

Here is another of my most highly viewed Flickr photos. I took this one at a rally for marriage equality in Sacramento.
