You can always tell motorcycle cops from their distinctive blue lights. Panda and I saw one late last night that prompted a whole discussion about how you don’t really see them out after dark (and therefore don’t see those blue lights much). Well, one time I saw this chain of five!

At first glance, this random pile of shells look kind of cool. Then when they move, it’s even cooler. 😛 Ever want a pet hermit crab? Why not try 20!

At Underwater World on Sentosa Island, we were told there was a great white shark there. I suppose it was true, but what a joke…

The most adorable little baby sheep at the LA County Fair last year. The umbilical cord is still hanging on him!

Yesterday I actually meant to post a video, but Vimeo was doing maintenance and I couldn’t upload the videos of this little mouse, mousing around. So here you go, an encore presentation:

The first finals week after Undie Run at UCLA was cancelled, one of the many ways that students chose to rebel included this performance:

With 4th of July celebrations coming up, I thought that this would be a cool way to celebrate holidays too. Too bad you can’t always get a band together!
Early in the year, an electrical explosion underground rocked Westwood and created quite a mess when much of the neighborhood was blacked out to fix the issue. Here it is minutes after the explosion.
Maybe it’s just me, but I always love plane rides and it was fascinating when one of my flights had a camera installed underneath the plane. Here’s what it looks like to take off from LAX and land in Narita as I did on my way to Singapore over a year ago.

Funny, I was just thinking about how I always seem to be the exception and never quite fit into a category. One such case is in eating habits – I’m not a “true” vegetarian, but practically am most of the time. Then I come across this video, talking about breaking down the idea that you either have to be a vegetarian/vegan or a crazy carnivore. I consider myself neither, really. In fact, I like to say I’m a pseudo-vegetarian. I don’t eat meat much but I do have some periodically. And so now, a new breed of vegetarians can emerge, treating their eating habits sort of like a job… meanwhile, I think I’ll stick to my own brand of “vegetarianism.”
