Here we go again! San Diego Comic-Con arrives this week and while free snacks and drinks connected to various promotions might be flowing downtown, it doesn't match the wealth of great dining options in the area. Keeping in line with my post last year, here's a list of places to go for budget lunches, cocktails and... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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...

There's not much I can add about this year's Comic Con. The event took over downtown for a few days and luckily I didn't have to travel too far to help my fiance at his booth.There were no lack of pirates and the whole Lords of the Rings phase has died out due to the... Continue Reading →

I was planning to do a post about something comic-related but ran out of time. Instead, I'm linking... Continue Reading →
The past few days, I actually had a few food-related conversations among talk of pop culture and, egads, comics. Possibly the strangest and most surreal was with David Arquette, you know... Courtney Cox's (of Friends) husband. Why I was in line to meet him and Paul Reubens, I really don't know. It seemed to be... Continue Reading →
It's too late and my feet are barking at me for standing up all day: more than nine hours in all. I should have packed a healthier lunch. Convention food is a joke and pricy. But I have not wanted a bag/purse sooo bad. It's not for sale yet.One of two Gary Baseman designed Seatbelt... Continue Reading →
I didn't put much planning into this but somehow it worked out that the last few posts have been pop culture-related, starting with the Harry Potter celebration at Big Sugar Bakeshop to the Simpsons-inspired Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank.So in conjunction with the San Diego Comic-Con that will be invading my hometown this week, I'll keep up...

Downtown Gaslamp on Sunday.I'm back in Los Angeles, unfortunately returning to work today but looking forward to showing my brother and his girlfriend around the city. As for the convention, I had the most fun I had in a while. The Cool Jerk table was highly successful this year and I got to meet a... Continue Reading →
