Bounty hunter Boba Fett surfs in Leucadia!

Feared throughout a galaxy far, far away, relentless bounty hunter Boba Fett has mysteriously arrived on planet Earth and has been spotted surfing in Leucadia!

Perhaps Boba came in search of another boba, because there Boba is, now bonded with his boba and board in a BOBA BY THE BEACH mural!

This cool Star Wars mural is painted at Sip-N-Sea: Coffee + Açaí. The artist signature is @JM47ART.

Thought you’d enjoy it!

Do or donut. There is no try!

A little Star Wars wisdom on this May the Fourth: Do or donut. There is no try!

I was loathe to attack Yoda with my teeth, but–ah–how sweet! Perhaps I’m on the Dark Side.

My friends at the Donut Bar in downtown San Diego made these fun edible creations for May the Fourth!

Yum. Darth Vader isn’t so bad after all!

The Grinch invades San Diego at December Nights!

The grumpy, grouchy, grievous green Grinch has invaded San Diego this weekend during December Nights!

Happy people beware! I spotted the Grinch all over the place as I walked around Balboa Park during San Diego’s epic holiday event!

Several cynical Grinches view visitors to December Nights from a vendor’s booth.

Once again, the Grinch is trying to steal Christmas at the Old Globe theatre! He seems very persistent.

Oh, my! The Grinch is peering over the Old Globe’s gift shop!

Thank goodness! That’s just a watercolor painting by Spanish Village artist Gabriel Stockton!

Now a grinning green Grinch has invaded the Festival of Trees inside the Casa del Prado!

The sneaky Grinch has managed to hide inside a Christmas tree!

No Grinch hiding here that I can find.

The Grinch wouldn’t dare hang out around this big, happy Santa bear at the Japanese Friendship Garden!

Does the Grinch work for the City of San Diego? Once again, San Diego’s Community Christmas Tree in Balboa Park has been completely ignored or forgotten.

There’s so much joy and happiness at December Nights, I can’t imagine the Grinch would linger here.

Santa Claus at the International Cottages is working on expanding his jolly belly.

These merry Santa helpers are ready to fend off the Grinch with their sticks.

My heart skipped a beat when I thought this was a green Grinch. It’s actually a happy Christmas tree!

Happy Holidays in Balboa Park!

Don’t look so worried, Santa. I think you’re safe.

Oh, no!

A fun Friday stroll around Comic-Con!

If a traveler had arrived in San Diego today, not knowing our city is in the middle of Comic-Con, and if they were to walk anywhere downtown or near the San Diego Convention Center, they’d conclude people have gone completely nuts. And to a certain extent they’d be right! Nuts can be good!

Check out these photographs I took while strolling outside Comic-Con today. The crowds were enormous. Super creative cosplay was everywhere. Some silly, bizarre sights designed to attract attention certainly attracted my camera!

A throng of Deadpools riding unicorns? Marketing genius! Funny, too!

San Diego Comic-Con fans enter toxic spill site!

In San Diego, hundreds of Comic-Con fans walked through a toxic waste site today. A truck hauling biohazardous material overturned overnight, spilling a slime-like blue substance in a downtown parking lot. The toxic waste is thought to have mutagenic properties.

Workers in pink hazmat suits and gas masks proceeded to open the rear of the truck, allowing curious Comic-Con fans to walk through it. Inside the tanker truck fans discovered all sort of cool toys adhering to the gooey walls! With any luck, these happy visitors won’t mutate into some sort of horrible monster or beast!

Yes, you’ve realized by now that I’m kidding. The truck and the blue slime are actually part of a Comic-Con 2024 offsite activation produced by MrBeast Lab. They make all sorts of cool toys.

When I exited the offsite, I got free swag! A monstrous miniature figurine!

I believe the offsite will be open throughout Comic-Con during the day. Look for it north of MLK Promenade and east of First Avenue, on the back side of the Bathroom Battlestation!

SpongeBob greets hotel guests in San Diego!

SpongeBob SquarePants and his watery friends are now greeting guests inside San Diego’s Hard Rock Hotel!

Fun SpongeBob graphics can be spotted in the hotel’s lobby. They celebrate the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants during Comic-Con 2024. The Hard Rock Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter will be buzzing with activity once Comic-Con begins later this week!

The exterior of the hotel is now covered with colorful SpongeBob graphics, too! If you’d like to see photographs of the huge, very funny building wrap, click here!

Paramount+ is behind the hotel’s fun interior and exterior during Comic-Con. They encourage people to Stream Like a Sponge!

Sea monsters invade the Mile of Cars!

Several terrifying sea monsters have been observed invading the Mile of Cars in National City! A menacing octopus, a very toothy fish, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon have gathered next to Perry Ford!

I saw this fun street art during a long walk through National City this morning. My objective was to photograph the new Historic California US 101 Route street signs that were recently erected along National City Boulevard. (That post will be coming up shortly.)

Between my walks in National City and Balboa Park, I ended up taking lots of photos today!

Stay tuned!

Crazy ski competition in Balboa Park!

Balboa Park was the peculiar venue for a big ski competition today!

Who needs snow when the House of Finland holds its annual lawn program at the International Cottages and provides skis? Grass works fine!

The afternoon Hiihtokilpailu (which is Finnish for ski competition) saw several teams (four athletes each, sharing two long skis) racing cross-country style (without ski poles). I watched the crazy spectacle.

One team couldn’t get out of the starting gate, two had calamitous, spontaneous collapses, and the fourth had major trouble turning around. One machine-like team named the Engineers would go on to win the big Final. (Fortunately, all contestants were awarded cookies.)

These photos of the silly “skiing” contest might make you chuckle.

I probably would’ve fallen over, too!

Deadpool from Chile visits Balboa Park!

Deadpool has traveled from Chile in South America to San Diego, and I found him hanging out today in Balboa Park!

This young man with the cool Deadpool cosplay, posing for photographs on El Prado, didn’t speak much English. But I did ascertain he loves the Deadpool movies.

I don’t know if he’s in pursuit of any supervillains at the moment. Perhaps his buddy Wolverine was nearby, but I didn’t see him.

You never know what or who you’ll encounter in wonderful Balboa Park!

If you’re reading this on a serious San Diego newsfeed, sorry. I’m just a blogger who likes to walk around the city, and sometimes I post silly, fun things.

Perhaps you’ll enjoy a quick smile before returning to a world where depressing news is far too common.

Sheep attacked by wolf in La Jolla!

A pen full of vulnerable sheep was attacked today in La Jolla. A wolf somehow infiltrated the UC San Diego campus and made its way to the small sheep pen at Revelle Plaza, where the terrified, trembling sheep were saved by a shepherd, who chased the wolf away.

Onlookers clapped as the wolf slinked away. That’s because they’d just witnessed a unique, often funny performance of Les moutons by Canadian company CORPUS. The strange act was part of this weekend’s La Jolla Playhouse 2024 WOW Festival!

The sheep might have been sheepish, but they did entertain the crowd with their dull stares, herd mentality, their shearing, milking and feeding sessions, and a couple of natural but unspeakable animal behaviors!

Here comes a ram through the astonished crowd? What does it want?

A howl was heard in the distance. Then…

Panic! Chaos! (My camera wasn’t fast enough.)
