  • Gots me new camera today. Of course they forgot to ship it with the memory card I had ordered. It comes with a 32MB one, but who seriously uses what it comes with? Will be taking lots o' pics this Saturday at the planetarium. )That's the entrance by the way in the profile pic.)

    Super smart reading baby. Gotta see it to believe that a year and half old child could be so talented, and she does cursive! I remember that I don't remember anything until I was around 5. I'm sure I was just pooping and eating at her age. I bet you she must have that genetic memory.  So cute you just wanna make her take your SAT's for you.

  • Pirates and Princesses

    Oh My!

    Only in NY can pirates ride the Q28 bus and fit right in during my rush hour commute home. Nobody seemed to give him a second look. A first look was enough. He had on a leather triangular pirate's hat shaped like the one pictured below, but no headband, instead he had a red bandana wrapped around his head.:


    He had the a single set of beads hanging from his head with a silver chain at the end of it. He also had the open shirt and vest. The difference from that example and him is he had a whole lotta hairy chest. *Grrrrrowl*
    Yep that was the manly man look. But from the waist down he it appeared he had on regular dress pants and black shoes.

    So was there some buccaneer's party that is going on today and I wasn't invited? Arrrrrr!


    In a totally unrelated story, I saw online this asian 'princess' went missing after she arrived in O'Hare airport last week after coming home from visiting her family and teenage daughter in China. I feel sorry for the poor sap in the video (external link. nts:capture encode). Clearly this poor fellow's mail-order 'wife' did some kind of disappearing act, and to paraphrase him, "doesn't care if she leaves him as long as he knows she is alive". Although they were married three years ago, this 38 year old woman who doesn't speak English managed to go missing for a week w/o contacting the authorities. Verrry suspicious. This sounds like a case for Scooby Doo or Nancy Drew.

  • Headaches

    Email forward:

    A woman comes home and tells her husband, 'Remember those headaches I've been having
    All these years? Well, they're gone.'
     
    'No more headaches?' the husband asks, 'What happened?'

    His wife replies, 'Margie referred me to a hypnotist & he told me to stand in front of a mirror,

    Stare
    at myself and repeat, ' I do not have a headache '', I do not have a
    headache'', " I do not have a headache." Well, it worked! The headaches
    are all gone.'

    Well, that is wonderful' proclaims the husband.

    His wife then says, 'You know, you haven't been exactly a ball of fire
    in the bedroom these last few years, why don't you go see the hypnotist
    and see if he can do anything for that? '

    Reluctantly, the husband agrees to try it.

    Following his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his
    clothes, picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom. He puts
    her on the bed and says, 'Don't move, I'll be right back.'

    He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later and jumps
    into bed and makes passionate love to his wife like never before.

    His wife says, 'WOW! - that was wonderful!'

    The husband says, 'Don't move! I will be right back.' He goes back into
    the bathroom, comes back and round two was even better than the first
    time.

    The wife sits up and her head is spinning ' OH MY GOD ' She proclaims.

    Her husband again says, 'Don't move, I'll be right back.' With that, he goes back in the bathroom.

    This time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the bathroom, she
    sees him standing at the mirror and saying. "She's not my wife " .
    "She's not my wife " . "She's not my wife " . "She's not my wife " .

    His funeral service will be held on Saturday.

  • Lunar Eclipse

     So they decided to block xanga at work, which is now classified as a dating site and something else. Imagine that. Perhaps it is all the lurid posts you guys are putting up there that is attracting unwanted attention of the filters. Could have at least shared them with me first. For shame [:
    Too much politics going on at the moment for me to bypass security. We'll just have to wait until it all dies down first before I attempt anything underhanded. I'm sure you all are dying for my wonderful work posts again. ya right!

    Anyway tonight is the lunar eclipse. Just look up at the moon. It starts at 8.43 pm. So that means the good stuff doesn't happen until much later. It should look something similar to this, which was from years ago.
    Enjoy!

  • blackout bathing

    Everyone should try the blackout bathing. It is a lot of fun. Bring a flashlight into the bathroom and take a shower by this sole source of light. Makes everything different. You can see the mist from the water, all the dust particles flying around the air and on the countertop.
    The room closes in and you can see all the creepy crawlies running around the floor. Oh wait, that's another movie. Anyway it shows how reliant on sight we are, and the senses gets confused but adjust rather quickly.

    Quadrantids

    Look east northeast Friday 1.40AM (EST) in the sky a quarter of the way up, to see the shower's radiant. Today is the best, but Jan 1-5 is okay.

    That means tonight early in the morning. The conditions would be ideal except for the cold, because the crescent moon won't be blocking out the light until after 4am. One or two per minute, long blue/silver trails.

    Brrrr cold!
