Weatherlicious

Flipping through the channels recently, I found myself watching My Fox News at 11. Normally I get my news from other sources, but I tuned in during a car chase recap which caught my attention. Just as I was about to change the channel, Weatherman Mark Thompson took the stage and began gyrating and shaking it to Nelly's "Pimp Juice" while giving the weather report.

After the first taste of Mark's kick ass weather reporting I did some research. Turns out Thompson has won an Emmy and a Golden Mike award for his weatherlicious moves!

Enjoy the clip below of Mark getting his weather on to Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous Girl.

Well Hello There!

Meet Huell Howser। Host of California's Gold, explorer, adventurer, life enthusiast and my current spiritual guru. Those of you who watch KCET know that Huell has been a staple of Southern California public television for over 25 years, bringing us mountains of hidden historic, unique and interesting gems from every corner of this great state. Armed with a microphone, a cameraman, wide-eyed curiosity, and plenty of southern charm, Huell easily gains amazing interviews from small business owners, park rangers, docents, and random people on the street.

In the thousands of episodes of California's Gold, California's Green, California's Water, California's Golden Parks, Cal Communities, Road Trip, and Visiting, Huell shows us that a positive attitude, enthusiasm and passion for learning new things can lead to all kinds of nerdy fun.

I'm a transplant to Southern California, but I have taken to Huell's teachings with an eagerness that some people might say borders on cultish devotion. Before you judge, let me say that I have visited many of the places Huell has covered and my experiences on these Huellventures have enriched my life beyond belief.

So that being said, this blog will serve as a place to share my past and future adventures, laced with other enjoyable items that make living in Los Angeles fun and fulfilling.
