I just encountered a new word

I just say someone talk about having a staycation. I've never seen this word before. I assume this means taking time off from work without doing any traveling. Quite a few people have been staycationing these days. I thought it was a good word, and I wanted to pass it on.

Carolina found Waldo

On Fathers Day, we were eating with my parents at one of those yuppie downtown bistro places for lunch...I think it was called "Sky Blue"...and this guy walked in looking at first like Bob Dylan, but when he put on his regular glasses, Carolina leaned over and told me excitedly, "I just found Waldo!"

M.C. Rove is following me

Even though I can see that I'm merely one of many, I still feel quite flattered.

Slugs and Drugs

I saw this advertisement in a comic book last week while I was studying at my short course. I thought it was really well done. I hate that the picture didn't turn out better.

Not to make light of the situation...

...but I saw this and thought it was sort of humorous. I'm wondering what the eulogy song for M.J. is going to be, and who it will be by, and I sure hope it isn't Elton John.

China's Block On Google

I found this link very fascinating. As much as we want to talk about China being backwards and oppressive, I admire their willingness to make such a tough stance on the issue of pornography. As I understand it, they also still refer to homosexuality as a mental illness. Very interesting.

Starcraft Cake

So if you're as nerdy as I am, you might have an appreciation for this. I don't remember where I found it, but it's incredible. I can't wait for the new Starcraft coming out. Great game!

...and this afternoon I stopped by all the festivities and got a closer look.

I saw a new Camaro

Right now is a very busy time in Tennessee with the Bonnaroo music festival, as well as the CMA awards happening. Today, when I dropped off Carolina down town I got to see the new Camaro model. Yes, it's a tiny yellow dot in the picture, but I still saw it, and it looked awesome. Maybe this will help get GM back on track a little.

Have you tried the Bible?

I thought this was an interesting clip. I have not read the guy's book, but through his study, he has reached some conclusions that I reached a long time ago. Namely, the Bible is a fascinating book. People who say it's a big boring tome full of rules and genealogies couldn't have possibly read most of it.

As I understand it, this guy decided to read the entire Bible just to see what he was missing out on. His conclusion is that he was missing out on a lot! He tells the story of the beginning of his quest here in the video.
