Cinematography

I added a new link in the side bar.  Whenever I have some time to kill, I visit this website.  Every week they upload new short films.  The majority of them are pretty fantastic.  It amazes me what some people's imaginations can do.  Check it out if you find you have some time to kill as well.

No Explanation

There are numerous sounds that have been recorded underwater that have never been explained.  How weird is that?

Here is one sound that HAS been explained:

Several of these took me a few moments to see the fail...

Daddy Blogger

Some people my find this blog offensive.  I find it hilarious.  It's a daddy blogger who has a new baby.  He writes about the problems he has to deal with as a parent, but he's a bit vulgar at times. 

Asshole Baby

Skeletal Love

Brenda is here until Sunday, so I'll get back into the groove of blogging next week hopefully.  Travis' dad is also popping in for dinner tonight.  He's on his way to North Carolina from west Texas, so he thought he'd drop in. 

We've got a fun weekend planned, including Halloween on Monday.

To kick off Halloween weekend, enjoy this animated short about two book covers that fall in love.

Fish Face

You have got to watch this video of the human face developing as an embryo. It's trippy.

FUNNY

I like finding entertaining websites. I usually check them daily for a while, then forget they exist. But check it out if you need some funny in your life. It has regular posts of text messages that have been altered by auto-correct.

Damn You Auto Correct!

Keenan Cahill

This kid makes me laugh. A lot.

He's Keenan Cahill, 15 years old and has a hundred million more videos if you'd like to check them out on YouTube. HILARIOUS.

It's reached the Danube

Did you guys hear about the toxic waste spill in Hungary? If not, look it up. The destruction is immense, and we haven't even found out what the long term effects of the toxins will be yet. A reservoir broke that was holding the toxic by-products of an alumina factory. The sludge that was left behind is clay red, making it very obvious what it has touched.

The photos of clean up workers standing next to buildings gives you a good idea of how high the toxic tidal wave was that rolled through the three neighboring villages. It looks to me that it was at least 5 feet high. The aftermath looks like an angry, red hurricane made it's way through the center of the continent.

Regrets on Etsy

You've probably heard of Etsy by this point. If not, then let me just tell you that it is an excellent place to find a huge array of homemade goodies. We got the wall decals for Aiden's room from there.

Apparently not everything is cute from is cute from there:

Thanks for the recommendation, Brenda!

Facebook Fails

Check out the two new websites I added to my sidebar. One is called Failbook, the other is Lamebook and they are awesome. People take screen shots of stupid things people say on Facebook (for those of you not educated in the ways of FB), or stupid photos they put up, then send it to these websites so we can all laugh at their stupidity. Same idea, two separate websites. It is divine.

Landry and Logan

This morning on my drive into work I noticed about 3 million grackles covering the power lines and trees. Creepy really. Not sure if it's supposed to mean anything, but I am glad they aren't crows! Do you see all the black specks on the tips of the branches in this pic? Those are all birds. I think you should be able to click on the photo to blow it up a little. I took it with my phone, so it's not of the best quality.

Since the Murano is back in the shop today, I had to drop Travis off at work. He goes to work at 7AM. I don't usually leave for work until 7:30AM. That equates to me arriving at work when the sun was coming up. It's a peaceful time really. Unless you take a million cackling grackles into consideration. Eesh.

So this past weekend Travis and I went to visit Landry (and of course Sara and JR) in the hospital. I cannot get over HOW TINY that little girl is. I know Aiden was not even a pound heavier that she is when he was born, but man I cannot believe he was that small!! After holding Landry, I went out to the waiting room to feed Aiden. When I picked him up out of his stroller I could not get over how absolutely monstrous he was compared to her. I might as well have been lifting a medicine ball out of that stroller.

Anyhoo, I'm an idiot and left the camera's memory card in my computer at home, which means I was unable to get any photos except for this one with my cell phone. I'm hoping to visit them soon at home and I will bring a fully functioning camera.

Landry looks SO MUCH like Sara. It's crazy. In the first photos I saw of her it seemed like her hair was more red than it was when I visited. Although, that could be because of the low lighting in the hospital room.

Maybe it's because she is still so tiny and I don't have a good photo with me of Logan when he was first born, but I expected Landry to look more like Logan. Maybe it's because she looks more like her mom and Logan looks more like his dad? At any rate, she is precious!

Side note: The spell check does not recognize Aiden's name, but it does accept Landry's. LOL!

PS - Happy Birthday Stephanie!!!

PPS - I threw up another website in the side bar I like to check occasionally. You may have heard of it: People of Walmart.

I almost forgot...

about the Babysite! I loaded some photos. I plan to get some more up there eventually and maybe a blog post. Oops!

Crazy $h!t

I saw the craziest thing on the ride home from work last night. I was following a pick-up truck going 60mph over the causeway (the bridge off the island). All of a sudden, the passenger side door opens up and a man proceeds to climb out the door and into the bed of the truck, where a nervous looking black lab awaits. !!! Holy crap man! That guy just pulled something straight out of a movie on a major road, during rush hour, going 60 miles per hour!! Scared the shit out of me. I was ready for him to fall and me to run over him - *BUMP, BUMP*. Ugh. I can't take that sort of stress.

I also wanted to point out that I added another blog in the side bar that I follow. For those of you interested in Mommy Blogs, you should check it out.

Introducing Lil Wodie's Blog!

I finally broke down and started a baby blog for Lil Wodie. I was having trouble trying to pick one out because most of them have cheesy backgrounds that I'm not very fond of. This one was the best I could find. For free anyway.

I know I talk a lot about baby stuff and pregnancy on here, and I'm not going to stop. But maybe having this other website will help me cut back on the amount of it. That way there is a sort of filter on this blog, for those non-baby-eccentric folks out there.
