Turns out I left off of the La Jolla photoblogging a little prematurely last year; I still had a handful of photos left. And since I’m flying back out there tomorrow, it seemed like this would be a good time to get them out of the way…

This week’s quote is from the Kurt Russell classic, Big Trouble In Little China:
We take what we want and leave the rest – just like your salad bar.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s wild dogs…
They look like sweethearts.

This week’s quote is from the Iranian film, A Taste Of Cherry:
God entrusts Man’s body to him. Man must not torment that body.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s restlessly pacing jaguars…
I was tracking the jaguar with the camera, which is why the vertical bars are all blurry.

This week’s quote is from Gunfighter’s Moon, starring Lance Henriksen, which… I saw, apparently:

And, of course, there’ll be other people’s leopards…
Leopardy!

This week’s quote is from Talking Heads pseudodocumentary True Stories:
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities. But I’ve forgotten what it is.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s wee baby pandas…
Yes, I like pandas.

This week’s quote is from a strange, underrated little film called Six-String Samurai. I’m not sure I can even begin to explain it…
Last kid that crossed that line, I had to summon up the spinach monster with my rock ‘n’ roll magic. Spinach monster grabbed him, pulled him underground, made him eat spinach all day. Rumor has it, kid… he’s still there.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s wee baby pandas…
There’s more where that came from.

This week’s quote is from Her Alibi, with Tom Selleck and Paulina Porizkova:
There’s no such thing as accidents – only things other people plan and don’t tell you about.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s pandas…
Peekaboo!

This week’s quote is the introductory narration from the inimitable Ninja Vengeance, which would perhaps be more accurately titled Inept Fugitive With Some Ninja Training:
Like the fathers of your grandfathers, it was your destiny to become a ninja. From the teachers of far-off lands, your ancestors discovered the secrets of the universe, and the means to complete joy in existence. For this, they were hunted down in their mountain homes by religionists who feared the potential of enlightened common men. Thus was born the legend of The Invisible Warriors – mountain mystics who guided their powers into ways of protecting the innocents that they loved, and the truths that they sheltered.
Yours is a legacy of service to those in need, protection to those in distress, and strength to those who are overpowered. Your art is Ninjitsu, The Way Of Stealth – silent means of working your will without action. Your reward is spiritual growth, the opportunity to be a conscious part of the scheme of totality. Welcome… to the family.
Did I mention that almost every single cast member never appeared in any other movie? And for good reason.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s pandas…
Awww.

This week’s quote is once again from the incomparable Lockjaw: Rise Of The Kulev Serpent:
No, listen, I am sorry about your wife, but that was an accident. You drew us to death. That sucks. YOU suck.
(Believe me, you don’t want to know)
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s pandas…
Aww.

This week’s quote is from the cheesy SyFy horror movie Lockjaw: Rise Of The Kulev Serpent, featuring DMX:
Once this picture’s drawn, the deed is done. And the only thing you have to look forward to… is the stomach acid.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s crocodiles…
Crockey!

This week’s quote is from Otto Preminger’s incomparably, psychedelically mad Skidoo:
The results of our anti-ugliness drive were less than satisfactory.
And, of course, there’ll be other people’s hippos…

The last of the Torrey Pines photos, taken at what looks like a graveyard for branches, and the scary dinosaur-skeleton-looking bluff above it.

I particularly like how the tree in the second photo looks like it’s walking down the hill.

This week’s quote is from Fellini’s La Strada, starring Anthony Quinn as a traveling circus performer:
This piece of stuff is not to protect me, but to shield you from my blood if I get hurt.

The shadowy & mysterious Codename V loves bees!!!

Yes, even La Jolla has grungy stuff like manhole covers – it even has manhole covers within manhole covers! Awesome.

Okay, I think I have maybe one more post worth of surfer photos after this one, if that. I really need to get back to work on processing the Torrey Pines shots now…
