Seventh in the series of the self-isolation media consumption catch up.. When I first heard that they were doing a new animated Star Trek series titled Star Trek: Lower Decks that was a comedy, I wasn’t two excited at the idea. I have a strong nostalgic relationship with the original 1970’s animated series and would have preferred a more straightforward series than a comedy one.…

Time keeps going. Sometimes it seems a week can last a whole month and other times I am like has it already been a month since the last time I wrote an update? Time does not really have meaning anymore. Home life continues its routine of laundry, YouTube, and chatting with relatives and friends. Thankfully, people are generating plenty of content and I am discovering…

A quick hike near Heisler Park in Laguna Beach during Daniel’s scavenger photo hunt to clear the mind. Still wearing a face mask and social distancing, but good to feel the sun and sea spray.

Sixth in the series of the self-isolation media consumption catch up.. We have tried to stay in touch with our friends and at the same time try and keep our sanity. One of the things we have been doing is a regular Friday night Zoom call with our friends. A lot of people at work starting doing this back in March when we started to…

It’s been awhile since I have posted. Not sure if its because I overdid it working on the 25th Anniversary, but here we are. It is September already and I didn’t post much in August. I’d like to think I was super busy doing something, but in reality, I was doing nothing of importance – just as I have been doing since mid April. We…

Daniel and I finally decided to venture away from SoCal for the first time since the pandemic began back in March. It was not something we took lightly and we planned according to the best practices for leaving the house. It was the annual Perseid meteor shower peak this week so we decided to head up to Death Valley to try and get the darkest…

Just needed to get out of the house late at night to get some sea breeze. Dana Point isn’t too far and is nice to photo at night.

Fifth in the series of the self-isolation media consumption catch up.. It’s taken me longer than anticipated to recap this era of Godzilla movies. I finished them a couple of weeks ago, but time really has no meaning anymore. What really was surprising to me about the Millennium Era was how jarring it was going to be compared to the Heisei era. The Heisei era…

As Comet NEOWISE (C2020F3) starts to depart back out into the darkness of space to begin its 6,766 year journey out and back again, it moved from the pre-dawn skies to the evening skies. I was able to spot the comet through my binoculars outside the house, but didn’t have any luck with my iPhone except for one last shot that included the street which…

For our second trip to try and see Comet NEOWISE (C2020F3), Daniel and I ventured out to the city of Pearblossom, CA near Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area as recommended by one of Daniel’s friends. The sky was much darker than last week’s Banning trip so we were rewarded with some great shots of the comet. This past week, I also purchased a pair of 10×50…
