The Journey North

Chicago is home anew now. I managed to both come home and come to a new and magical land.
My excuse for not writing recently is that I moved in last week to my new home on Webster Ave. in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Lincoln Park, for those of you who don’t know, is one [...]

The True Meaning of Thanksgiving

When I was really little my mom started a tradition that carried on all through my childhood.  Conventional Christmas pageants bored the heck out of her, so when she finally got her hands on running the thing she let the youth group do a skit before the normal pageant started.  It really was the most [...]

Muppet Love

I have a slew of procrastination sites I frequent, and one of them is Today’s Biggest Thing.  Every day there is a new video and most of them are pretty hilarious.  Today’s was no exception.
Get this:  Muppet…BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!  I knew in an instant my day was about to get a whole lot better.  I thought [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

And what are we all thankful for today?  We should ask ourselves that every day, not just today.  Because, for goodness sake, we got plenty to be thankful for:

The Best Fortune Ever!

I just opened up a fortune cookie expecting the usual disappointing piece of paper stating something useless and lacking in pith.  Oh how wrong I was to underestimate the fortune cookie! Check it out!
“You are the crispy noodle in the vegetarian salad of life.”
Score!  But what does it mean??? Why is it just a [...]

Slow Motion Wonders

My sister showed me this amazing clip of slow motion spectacles and now I simply must see the whole Discovery series.

It reminded me of that famous Planet Earth Shark footage since it is likely very similar if not the same technology.

Man.  I gotta go practice my photography [...]

I love the internet

Sometimes the internet fills me with wonder and a deep love of humanity.  Here are some videos that show you why:
Bunnies relieve stress in Japan, BBC reports…
The Onion on Disney Child Stars
Kittens inspired by kittens

The Giant Water Slide (I can’t see how it’s real, but watch anyway…)
