Bears For Barnes

March 11, 2010
Teddy likes shopping at Barnes & Noble in the Westside Pavilion because the staff is so friendly.


Plus there are many levels to check out. Teddy took the escalator.


They have a decent selection of DVDs and there are always enticing sales.


Teddy considered buying the Elizabeth DVD. She really liked the movie. Women in power, what's not to love about that?


Teddy ended up purchasing a fitness DVD for Nibs. He asked for it. Nibs said he wants to lose one pound by summer. That's a lot for a bear his size!

Teddy Recommends...

...The Ghost Writer. Starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan (and a surprisingly un-SATC turn from Kim Cattrall), this thriller directed by Roman Polanski is original, suspenseful and beautifully filmed in what's supposed to be Cape Cod, MA (though Teddy couldn't figure out how fugitive Polanski could step on US soil, but whatevs).


Teddy saw the film at The Landmark in West L.A.; Nibs went to the gym instead. He's really into getting fit lately. Teddy can't figure it out.


The theater was thankfully not crowded though a few teenage boys sat next to Teddy and kept looking at their iPhones. Teddy wanted to throw her popcorn on them.


Teddy gives The Ghost Writer two paws up. Check it out soon before it leaves theaters.

Jake and Vienna Next To Marry?

March 9, 2010
After Jason and Molly's wedding special Jake and Vienna from the last season of The Bachelor gave an interview. Jake said he is definitely marrying Vienna. Teddy was shocked! Isn't Jake a snake? Won't he dump Vienna soon?


Some of the wedding guests were also interviewed. Host Chris Harrison asked DeAnna if she was engaged to her boyfriend Stephen. She said no and that the question was making Stephen nervous. Awkward alert!


When Jillian and Ed were asked if wedding plans were underway for them, they said yes. Can you believe it? Another Bachelor wedding. Teddy can't wait!


No matter how corny these reality shows get, Teddy just eats them up. Nibs cannot understand her TV tastes.

Molly And Jason's Wedding--Yes, Teddy Watched!

March 9, 2010
Teddy loves a good wedding. She doesn't care if it's between two reality stars who are most likely paid to tie the knot. So last night she tuned in to see Jason from The Bachelor marry Molly.


Molly wore a $45,000 Monique Lhuillier gown. The wedding took place at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. Remember Teddy and Nibs went whale watching there several months ago?


Molly was dripping in Neil Lane diamonds. Teddy likes to see brides in bling.


It rained a lot during their ceremony. They got drenched! Teddy couldn't understand why they didn't move the wedding inside.


Afterwards, at the reception, everyone ate steak and cake and then danced. Very typical stuff.


Who's next?

The Road Home

Nibs was thrilled to get back to civilization! Getting lost in Temescal Park was scary. But as soon as Nibs came up on Brentwood, he hit traffic. Oh well. It's better than being coyote food.

Lost

March 8, 2010
Getting lost in the woods in a big city like Los Angeles may sound ridiculous but it's entirely possible. Good thing there was a giant map for Nibs to find his way around Temescal Park.


Nibs wasn't used to all this exercise. His legs started to ache.


He often stopped and admired the plants... and looked for lizards. His hike turned into a stroll, really.


At the end of the hike Nibs found a plush field. Awwww! Time to relax. What a workout! Nibs was ready for, well, a bear nap. Don't tell Teddy!

Nibs Takes A Hike!

March 8, 2010
Nibs hates the Oscar. HATES. So instead of watching all the corny Oscar pre-shows like Teddy did yesterday, Nibs headed into nature.


The Temescal Gateway Park on Sunset Blvd. in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood has a relatively challenging trail that is lined with indigenous fauna like this cactus that--ouch!--pricked Nibs' paw.


Teddy would have liked all the flowers like this purple thing... Nibs doesn't know the names of flowers. He just knows he likes them.


Nibs was sure Teddy was on her second bowl of popcorn as she watched Joan Rivers and the like talk fashion. Ick! Nibs sure was glad he did his own thing.
