The Pasadena Museum of California Art has an odd sign composed of 25 smaller traffic signs, over the entrance to its parking garage on Union Street. The signs normally inform and warn drivers of upcoming hazards or things that may require a driver to be prepared for. I […]
Motion Picture Of The Day

These guys are absolutely crazy. And they have made an awesome video to prove it. And the music sucks.
[P.S. That’s Eaton Canyon, in case you were wondering. And we claim no responsibility for anyone who herniates while laughing at the comments the guys make at the beginning of the video–C]

No, I’m not advocating the destruction of the old Ambassador College Campus, just making a point.
Flame War!

First up, I deliver on what I promised: an overview of the wildfires we just had, along with my own personal story to go with it. […]
Last Meal of the Apocalypse
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008[Chantry Fire 4/26/08, Originally uploaded by ssladybug]
The Creature sat
upon an immense onyx throne
craving, waiting, lusting,
its stubby fingers clutching
at the arm rests.
The hour had come,
the meal arrived,
despite my protests,
the Creature
after countless eons
was finally served its long-awaited repast.
My Testament
Saturday, April 26th, 2008[210 east @ 6:30, Originally uploaded by rappensuncle]
When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper’s plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.
Old Timey Fun
Thursday, April 24th, 2008[Ian Whitcomb and his Bungalow Boys, Orignally uploaded by Fire Monkey Fish]
Here we see Ian Whitcomb and his Bungalow Boys, experts in ukulele and old-style tin pan alley music (think Roaring Twenties), playing on the porch of the Gamble House. I needn’t say that the wealthy Gamble family would not have ever had such […]
Special from the Desk(top) of the Photo Editor
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008To be perfectly honest, none of us contributors actually know anything about the owners of the FC Blog, Publius and Centinel. They stand in the tradition of a number of Americans, taking their very pseudonyms from the pen names of the writers of the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers. When the U.S. […]

Open Shutter in the Garden of Rocks

Julian, a skilled skater and local amateur photographer took this beauty one night. By shooting in very dark conditions and utilizing a small aperture, the camera only was able to record two things: bright lights and stationary objects. The car that sped through […]

[The corridor of light, Originally uploaded by faria!]
Hope that the recent spate of hot weather didn’t upset too many. I was able to get by without the AC (this time). I even crossed behind the Orange Curtain and went down to the beach (report: it sucked). Besides being a full 25 degrees […]

Those who do not believe that peacocks and peahens have the ability to fly take note: a peahen on the roof of a house in Monrovia.
