Today we set out to see the steampunk exhibit at Muzeo in Anaheim. What we ran into first was a Black History Month parade. We saw bits of it while we walked to the museum, and then we got to see gears galore. Pieces ranged from walking sticks to weapons for hunting supernatural creatures courtesy of the League of S.T.E.A.M., who we had seen at Anime Expo 2010. There was also a section on fiction, including Jules Vernes, H. G. Wells, Sir Arthus Conan Doyle, and Mary Shelley. It made me want to go read some of these books!
There was also an exhibit on the bible. I looked at this too, but it was far, far less interesting than steampunk.
Then we checked out the street fair for Black History Month. It didn’t have any ethnic food. I wanted something out of the ordinary. Sadly, there wasn’t anything, so we went ahead with our original plan of having Indian food. And that was quite tasty!

Awesome Ghostbusters Painting by Sam Carter
Tokidoki 360
Today at Happy Six’s grand opening, Simone Legno, the artist behind
tokidoki, autographed my Xbox 360! He also drew Adios, my favorite
tokidoki character! I bet I’m the only person with a tokidoki
personalized 360! A photographer working for Happy Six took my picture
with the 360, and a lot of other guests were impressed and excited
about it, including men and women, young and my age.
William got a penguin drawn on his tablet PC. gem got a Godzilla
(which Simone was surprised she knew about because it’s new) on her
sushi themed tokidoki skateboard, and Gabby got a picture on her sushi
skateboard too!
Wall-E Art
Wall-E made out of canned food at South Coast Plaza on Saturday. It
was pretty cool. I’m not really sure why it was there, but I enjoyed
seeing it!
Can of Paint in Cans
At South Coast yesterday there was a display of an overflowing can of
red paint made out of canned foods.
Badly Drawn Sonic
There’s a superb thread at my favorite forum, SelectButton, in which people post their terrible Sonic the Hedgehog drawings. Some of them are so terrible that they’re amazing. I really think there’s a lot of quality art here. It takes a devout Internetatarian to consider MS Paint art a viable style of art.
Space Invaders Attack WTC (a.k.a. Oh God Comments War)
Joystiq has a piece up about a game made as artistic commentary on the events of 9/11 and America’s response. The game is based on Space Invaders with the aliens attacking the World Trade Center buildings.
Taito has since responded by saying that the work was unauthorized and threatened legal action.
Getty Museum, The Stinking Rose
gem and I went to the Getty Museum yesterday. It was really fun. I’d never been to a real museum before, and I really liked it. The religious art bored me a little, which is ironic because that’s what most of it is. Still, there were a lot of amazing things. I also grew to like impressionist paintings a lot more. And the marble and bronze statues were really cool, probably my favorite. But the architecture itself is simply beautiful too. It was designed by Richard Meier and is outstanding. It feels like a palace or something.
After the museum, the two of us went to the Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills. It’s a restaurant specializing in garlic. Their motto is “We season our garlic with food.” We had amazing garlic spread with bread for an appetizer. Then I had the rabbit and gem had the chicken. And for dessert, we had garlic ice cream. The ice cream sounded a bit weird but ended up being really good. It didn’t really taste garlicy. It was just… spicy. Anyways, delicious!
Nina, Anniversary, Apartment
I posted some new photos. Check them out (link is in the upper left). My anniversary and my apartment each have their own sections. A picture of Nina is in the Summer 2005 album.
New Photos
Posted some new photos in the album “Skyscapes,” one in “Fan Art,” and one in the summer 2004 album.
Also, I think “skyscape” should be a word.
And this is the 200th WebPageless entry.
