31 Days Of Halloween Kid Costumes - Day 1


Building My Rocketship Now


Do you think these CAT-WOMEN will dress up like the singers and dancers from the musical'CATS'? What if I ask politely? After all, I just built a rocket ship to travel to the moon - that get's me some respect, right?



What Would You Sing At Karaoke?

I am a pretty great singer (thanks for that Dad) and enjoyed a nice night out at the Karaoke bar when I actually had real, non feline friends. You may only see me as a delusional agoraphobic loner with a crippling fear of tentacles but I become a totally new person on stage.

It's the actor in me - the lights, the captive audiences, the applause that never stops until security rushes me from the building - that never grows tiresome.

Ask me to go singing with you anytime - unless you are part of the Sun City Resort in South Africa because as you know, "I ain't gonna play Sun City!"



I also do a wicked cool version of this Alan Jackson classic. The ladies swooooon when I do 'The Real World'.



Wonderful by Everclear is always a popular choice for me.



And the one that puts me over the top - Linkin Park - 'In the End'

Yeh, She Is Also A Great Singer.


Off to Karaoke!

He Still Bothers Me But What A Great Idea For A Date


Justin Bieber Rented Out The Staples Center to Watch Titanic

The major date was inspired by a scene in the Adam Sandler flick “Mr. Deeds,” in which Sandler’s character surprises his date, Winona Ryder, with a date for two at Madison Square Garden. After the superstar couple’s meal, things got even more romantic when “Titanic” began playing on a screen in the arena.

Way to go Bieber. Not exactly an original idea but impressive. He knew how to give the girl who has everything something she would never get for herself.

However, by being so over the top you just made an enemy of all the guys in the world that didn't already hate you. How can any guy get away with getting his girl a cheap gift now?

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is for me to love Selena as much as I do only to see her hang out with this numnut? I have really tried not to let him get to me but he is just such a goof. I have faith that my best girl knows what she is doing and she must see something in him that I do not. Their coupling has gone beyond being a stunt.

Thanks to Brother Mike D for inspiring this post.

Canadians Being Cool In Space



Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield is learning to fly a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and perform appendix surgery, as well as refreshing his spacewalking and robot-wrangling skills, before taking command of the International Space Station in 2013.

Hadfield, 52, will become the first Canadian commander of the space station during his third mission in space. He'll be the second Canadian astronaut to undertake a long-duration space mission, after Bob Thirsk.

My Vacations With Vladimir


Thanks to Dr. Goat for sending me the original image.

Quote of the Day - Project Runway

Bert - "I don't get his fabric choices. Everything looks like it's from the late 80s. They are all going to the Mall or to bury something in the woods."

That's pretty much how I remember the eighties. Time at the Mall split equally with time in the forest with my shovel. Good times.

I Could Watch This Pixie Play Her Violin All Day Long



Lindsey Stirling is a young and unique hip hop violinist that not only plays fun original music on the fiddle but also finds a way to control her bow while dancing, jumping, and performing impressive gymnastic moves.

Cute, talented and most importantly, ORIGINAL!

More Great Dune Images

I wish I knew who did these. They are fantastic and different than many other of the DUNE illustrations I have seen. The site I found these on didn't specify the artist.

I am a nut for anything DUNE related. I love the whole concept and how the story was executed over the first four novels. You can see the complete list HERE. Did your favorite make the top ten?
