Ugh, this title makes me ill and I did not want to go there. But whatever; I mentioned this idea of remembering and sharing in regard to kids’ Must-See Places. Must See places are still trickling in (mostly East Coast) but I wanted to share this cool (and crafty…ugh) idea that my sister-in-law inadvertently gave me.
I love not telling my kids where we’re going if it’s someplace fun. Just sort of wake them up, give them breakfast and put them in whatever outfits they’re going to need for the event. My daughter doesn’t get it—to her clothes are clothes—but my son understands that swimming trunks serve a different function than ordinary shorts so he starts wondering. It’s great seeing the surprise when we finally get to wherever we’re going—but this post isn’t about mushy curt-like junk like that. It’s about lists.
Celebs: ::cue music:: Pretty Woman, oh no that’s Britney…Pretty woman…buying groceries. (some language in the first link)
Blogspotting: Janet went and committed the worst mistake in her life—she added me to her blogroll. Jerry went and got his wife pregnant. Curt has an odd sense of humor. MCF makes another list. Jim has the best picture on the web. Darrel has Mel’s apology (and acceptance).
Tek-Wars: Warner Home Movie Video releases the same movie (Training Day, Rumor Has It, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) on both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. Now people can really compare which is better.
iWorld: A team effort made up of Apple, Ford, GM and Mazda leads to iPod integration for cars. Once again, their iPod product line rocks—but their computers continue to stink…from burning (HT: Gizmodo).
Art: The Greek (buddy of ours) gained the title because he is Greek but also because he’s an awesome painter. With those two thoughts I decided to share the original The Greek, El Greco or Domenikos Theotocopoulos. Go see them in real life; El Greco’s paintings lose something on the web.
1. One book that changed your life:
To all you cheats, no…not the Bible. That’s an omnibus with sixty six (or so) volumes in one. That being said, I’ll have to go with Romans. It gave me a full picture of my depravity, the need of a savior, my inability to work to merit salvation, and the ultimate end of God keeping me to the end by the power of Jesus Christ through faith.
