Dustin Shuler Dies at 61

I blogged about this artist Dustin Shuler last year, but I just learned that he passed away a few weeks ago on May 4. The above piece is titled “Death of an era.” His best known sculpture, “Spindle” had a cameo in “Wayne’s World.” It was dismantled in 2008 to make room for a Walgreens.

Weekend Update

A couple weeks ago I went to visit some old friends from college now living in San Diego. I flew over with my buddy Stan. Here are a few photos from the trip.

We stayed with Allan and Liz. I lived on the same floor my freshman year with these two, and lived with Allan during our senior year. I then handed Allan off to Stan, and they were roommates throughout medical school. Allan and Liz started dating at the beginning of our senior year and got married a couple years ago. They now live in San Diego with Sienna, a super sweet with her own self-portrait, who also enjoyed chewing on Stan’s arm.

Taking Sienna for a walk on an “average” weather day for San Diego. The weather is just too nice in that city. They need to start sharing it with the rest of the country.

I love dogs and taking them for walks, but I let Allan do the dirty work. Stan enjoyed this action photo. One observation about La Jolla: there are no public trash cans.

Sienna doing an upward facing dog yoga pose near the beach.

Stan surfed everyday. This is him after day 1.

The most meaning beer cap ever.

We passed by a legal medical marijuana distribution center. If the legalize marijuana community want to be taken a bit more seriously by the establishment, they need to not make these medical weed places look like a rasta day care center. Seriously.

Allan’s friend Buckley (guy in hat) took us out sailing, which was a quite a lot of fun. I enjoyed pulling the ropes and stuff. I’m sure there is a technical sailing word for all the stuff we did, but whatev.

Allan enjoying his beer. He seems a bit confused about which state he wants to associate himself with.

Ahoy! Land!

Nope, just seals. Chillin. Asking us what we up to. Nothing much, we said. Just sailing.

And I hate to say it, but those are all the pictures I took! I basically just rested on the beach and when not doing that, I ate. A lot. It was also awesome seeing the Winers (SHOUT OUT JESSE) in LA.

Movie Round-Up

I’ve started packing for my move to my new apartment and I came across some old movie theater ticket stubs from the past couple years. In no particular order and my brief thoughts or what I recall most about each film:

• Valentino – Visually stunning.
• Darjeeling Limited – Louis Vuitton luggage set.
• Blood Diamond – Worst date movie ever.
• Year One – Forgot initially what this film was
• Good Hair – I SAW CHRIS ROCK IN PERSON AFTER THE MOVIE.
• Mary and Max – I think I fell asleep during this at Sundance Festival.
• Exit Gift Shop – Banksy = Funny sense of humor.
• Hangover -
• Terminator – A Terminator could walk through all the plot holes.
• Pan’s Labyrinth – Trailers lied. This is NOT a fairy tale for the children.
• Watchmen – I can’t believe some geeks took a vacation day to see this (terrible ) film in IMAX.
• Coraline 3D – Coolest 3D effects ever.
• Wall E – Awwwww.

Reasons to Visit Japan

17) Zombie meat. Apparently it tastes like beef jerky and you can purchase it in select shops for about 399 yen or $4.99 per zombie pack. It’s eat or be eaten in a zombie gone mad world.
