Thanks to Brave New Traveler for the laugh today. I got a kick out of this and as much as it seems interesting, they are probably right, I don't want to see that sign.

Joaquin Phoenix and my confession that I do sometimes follow Hollywood gossip

I'm not normally one to go for celebrity or Hollywood gossip, and obviously this doesn't quite go along with the theme of this website, but seriously this whole Joaquin Phoenix thing is really intriguing to me. If you haven't heard about it, just do a couple of google searches and then come back.

So the theories circulating are that 1) he is having a breakdown of sorts and really thinks he is pursuing a career as a rapper or that 2) he is doing this all as a mockumentary about actors who lose it and go on a downward spiral and/or actors who try to make a transition into music.

I'm leading towards believing the second for several reasons. I've read about his total immersion acting techniques, and also his brother in law Casey Affleck has been there the whole time filming his antics. I would think that if he actually was losing it that Casey would maybe lend a hand rather than film the demise. And also, well, quite honestly I think acting crazy for a year in the name of making a documentary about acting crazy is far more more interesting than actors who really do go off the deep end. Those types already seem to be a dime a dozen in Hollywood.

Either way, it's been sort of interesting to follow the whole thing. I'll be curious what comes of it.

What do you think?

Thanks to Grace for alerting me to the fact that the Obamas are planting a vegetable garden at the White House!

I think this is great, it promotes self sustainability, local and healthy eating. Congrats to the Obama's for doing this and setting a good example for the rest of us.

I have been pretty slow in posting the photos and write ups from my vacation last fall, and since it won't happen this weekend since I'll be in Colorado, I'll leave you with a couple photos. See Cordoba, Spain and Tangier, Morocco below!

Vacation to Colorado

 #  posted by Russ,

Share > Reading @russkw Vacation to ColoradoTweet     Digg     Stumble     Del.icio.us     Reddit     Buzz     Facebook

I am leaving in the morning for Colorado. No, I don't snowboard or ski. I'm going with my girlfriend just for fun, we want to check out Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and basically just see what the area has to offer in case we ever want to relocate.

Though it will be hard leaving sunny San Diego for the cold Rocky Mountains, it should be a refreshing change, and hopefully it will be a good time.

Check back to my travel section soon for a write up and some photos. I'll be back next week.

Another blog update

I've updated my blog layout once more. These changes are more subtle that the last ones. I changed the width to maximize the screen more, now with two sidebars instead of just one. I feel like this way my previous posts, archives, links, etc are more accessible. Also added a "tag cloud" with my frequently updated topics and a search form. However I just realized the search form searches the web and not my site so I need to fix that.

Lastly, if you are a subscriber or a reader and want to be on my blogroll, just send me an email or comment here and I'll be happy to exchange links with you if you're interested...

Happy Sunday!
