Pictures and Studies

Some pictures of the frog pond by us.







More "duh" studies I ran into today;
"Study finds young women's satisfaction with own body image suffers after viewing ultra-thin TV characters."
"Research shows temptation more powerful than individuals realize."

Evil Peaches

Food and Skulls

Last night Edwin and I visited our friend Scott, only to find out that Sunday night is also neighbor night and they all bring food. After a meal of steak, bacon wrapped pork loin, rabbit spaghetti, chinese salad and corn on the cob, I was pretty much in a food coma. It was great. I also got to try the infamous Crystal Head Vodka that Dan Aykroid sells. I want the bottle!

Today I found out that peaches are now on the list of things I can't eat. It's sad, but swollen eyelids are not pretty. And I'm still trying to get my energy back. They pack a mean punch.

The Death of a Fantasy

I have this fantasy about living in Montana, far away from civilization. I'm sitting in a rocking chair on the porch of my house holding a shotgun in my hands, yelling,

"Get the hell off my property!"

This is the fantasy I have for those times when I'm sick of the human race, all the bills to pay and the kids screaming "Go poopy!" in the house behind this one. I realize now that that fantasy has been shot to hell, never to be used again. I hate living outside of the city. It's not that I don't like to go camping and hang out in the wilderness for a while, I really like that, but living out here for two months has brought on a new kind of isolation that I can't wait to get away from. And this is only the suburbs. Could you see me in Montana? There'd be no shotgun and tough guy attitude. It would just be me on my hands and knees begging someone to get me the hell out of there.

I want a Holodeck

I want a Holodeck. You know, the thing on Star Trek where you get to create your own fantasies in a room via holo-technology. The only thing I want more than that (of fantasy items) is a Transporter. Minnesota winters wouldn't have a chance to freeze me to the bone. I'd just step into the Transporter and I'd be whisked to wherever I wanted to go. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for science to catch up with my needs. Lucky for me I just might get to see something like a Holodeck in my lifetime. Check out the video below.



Can you imagine what shooting zombies on the Wii will be like? Oh, happy me. I wonder how much it will cost. Hmmm. I better get to work and start saving.

Edwin and Stuff

Here's a small bit of Edwin's current play, and a review here.




And just for some fun, here's more of those expensive "Duh" studies.

"Mother's mental condition affects teenagers"

"More leisure time means more health and happiness"


Here's one for the Dune fans. I LOVE this t-shirt. Wish I would have thought of it.

Quilts

I'm trying out the embed feature for online magazines here. The magazine below features my cousin, Holly's quilts. I love them!
