Fun with Genetics

Worth1000 asks people to send in pictures of their pets.
All right, they're not their pets, it's their photoshop editing skills.
Or it just might be evolution.

Scooter's Speechless


And this video's had 2.5 million hits???

Happy Birthday, Babs!

Today is Ms. Streisand's birthday. What words to describe her?
Singer, Actress, Icon, Diva, Legend, Bitch, Mecha-Streisand, Outspoken, Campy?
Whichever you choose, sit back and enjoy some of my favorite Streisand moments.
"His Love Makes Me Beautiful" from Funny Girl

In 1984, she made this wonderfully campy video, "Emotion"

And from What's Up Doc? "As Time Goes By"

Happy Birthday, Babs. You take the cake.

Take that, foolish one.

Happy Birthday, John Waters

Happy Birthday to John Waters, one of the most brilliant and creative directors of our time!
If he had only created Serial Mom, he'd still be a God!
"You can't wear white shoes after Labor Day."

"Lick Mommy's feet!"

OMG, I love this movie!

I Love Potato Salad, Kids in the Hall Style


"Mix, Mix, Stir, Stir. Married young, it's all a blur!"

I Hate Potato Salad

I watched this video from the Ross Sisters with...uh...amazement.

It's very 1950's Cirque du Soleil. It's delightfully campy. But I still hate potato salad!

The Dog Got Grandpa

Happy Birthday, Ryan O'Neal

My all-time favorite movie is..."What's Up, Doc?" The entire movie can be found on YouTube. The banquet scene is, I think, the BEST part!

"You're upside down."

Happy Easter


April's 12 of 12, The Easter Edition

Today, Easter Sunday is the 12th of the month. That is when we celebrate Chad Darnell's 12 of 12, where bloggers all over the world share their day with pictures. Here are mine...

Every year, at the Seattle Garden Show, I get suckered into buying praying mantis egg sacks. They never hatch. Never...except this year, when I left them in the house. We have a room that we use to overwinter our tropical plants, plumeria, hibiscus, anthurium, etc. It's also where our box turtles and chinchilla are housed (not together). The other day, I went in to water the plants and was met with 100+ mantises. How cute, no?


We were invited to our neighbors' house. It was an Easter/Passover Potluck.
We brought Hawaiian Ham Surprise. It was either that or Peeps' Stir Fry.


In honor of Passover, we watched, or at least started watching The Ten Commandments. Such a feel good movie.


We leave our Chocolate Easter Bunny up all year. Matt made him a lovely cape of tulips.


Yesterday, I cut my hand while working in the garden. Matt takes such good care of me...he cleaned me up, bandaged me with Barbie, and sent me back to work with a kiss.


Our magnolias are blooming. So pretty.


It rained today. But my mom gave us this stained glass outdoor art thing to remind us of poppies.


We are thinking of taking a vacation to Molvania. I'm reading up so we'll know here NOT to go.


Easter is my favorite holiday. We always color eggs. But first we test them with the Fresh Lab Deluxe kit.


I am creative when I color eggs.


My teapot self picture.


We have finished coloring our eggs. Guess which row I colored.


Friday was one of my FAVORITE artist's birthday. Do you know who she is? Bonus points if you can guess the video whence I took this photo.


Have you done a 12 of 12??? No?
Well next month, I'll be checking in on you.

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Hmmmmm, what song would go well with Chris the Lord Is Risen Today?

A song about an eel???

At Least We Have Good Memories...

The Easter Bunny REVEALED!


Don't you just adore Monty Python?

Michael Ball's Gethsemane


Jesus!

Get Yours Today!!!


I love the kid's expression at 0:20!

BRB . . .

The Sound of God

This piece, The Miserere Mei, Deus is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard. For decades, it was only allowed to be played for Good Friday Services and only in the Sistine Chapel. Anyone who did otherwise, faced excommunication!
Many credit a 14-year-old Mozart for bringing it to the rest of us, when he secretly wrote it down on paper, note by note, while at a performance of this ethereal masterpiece.

I Love Rachel Maddow Take on NOM


When I first watched to original ad, my jaw dropped. (I still don't see how my relationship with Matt hurts the marriage of the couple down the street.)

These people hurt by my relationship in this hypocritical ad are less impressive when you see the actors' auditions, bloopers included. Watch part 1 and part 2.

Buffy's Puffy

Guess who's having a baby...

My Favorite Easter Song...

Always look on the bright side of life...

Happy Good Friday
