I love my neighborhood. Almost everything is within walking distance. Or if I dare, I can bike there as well. Mission Hills is centrally located in San Diego: downtown is only three miles away and it takes me 15 minutes to get to work.Recently, Mission Hills has been hosting Mission Nights every third Wednesday of...

Following the scent of tacos
One of the best things about Twitter is following the random thoughts of people on the 'net. Whether it be the latest rant, promoting so-and-so or what someone is doing, I find it an interesting way to fill up my day. Despite the majority of mundane information, I like Twitter and I like it better... Continue Reading →
Font-explosion at the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market
In my day job, I am surrounded by fonts. There are the fonts we use at work: a sans serif (Helvetica) and a serif font (Times New Roman). Pretty boring, but it does the job for what I do which is present information.Then there are the fonts I use in ads. It runs the gamut... Continue Reading →
And then there was this time I was sick where I stayed in and watched True Blood all weekend…
Summer colds are the worst. But luckily I convinced Paul that we absolutely had to have HBO for a few months or for as long as True Blood Season 2 was on.So staying indoors for almost three days catching up on the episodes wasn't so bad. I was living the vampire life. We even made... Continue Reading →
Cool stuff at SDCCI and a giveaway
I didn't wander as much as I wanted to the few days I was at the San Diego Comic-Con. The sheer amount of people threatened to keep me at the Cool Jerk table or, at least, another table of friends. I did manage to deal with the crowds to get some free swag but I... Continue Reading →
It’s not all about comics
This year many people stopped at the Paul's booth in small press asking where I was -- specifically because I was featured in this strip. It left me a bit uneasy because the booth is all about Cool Jerk. I really don't have anything to do with it except occasionally making change out of large... Continue Reading →
It’s here once again…
In the spirit of the Comic Con invading my hometown, I've posted a page from The Mighty Marvel Superhero's Cookbook -- it's the only cookbook I have in my possession that I never plan to cook a recipe from.My husband, Paul will be at his usually spot that he is every year promoting his comic...

Meat dreams are made of these
I'm predicting this fad with all things bacon will end soon. The bacon suit is ridiculous. While the bacon bomb will cause your arteries to explode. It has to end and I'm predicting that after the 2010, it will be only a memory.But being the hypocrite I am, I rushed over to The Linkery one... Continue Reading →
Supertaster Test Results
Results? I'm a middle of the road taster (detect a mildly bitter or bland taster) and Paul is non-taster (will taste nothing). No super tasters in this household and no song can be written about me. Unfortunately this test only confirms that Paul is a picky eater (onions be damned) and I just dislike feta... Continue Reading →
Without ice cream, life and fame are meaningless
I've forgotten what real ice cream tastes like. I've been lured from the full cream stuff to visiting one of the hyper trendy frozen yogurt shops, my favorite being Yogurtland. I can't resist their rotating flavors (root beer float, tiramisu, orange cream, etc) and their especially alluring topping bar (vanilla wafers and mochi!). Going to... Continue Reading →
