Star Wars + Disney Character = Nifty Artwork

For Your Eyes Only...

Here is a Wired.com photography piece about America's Best Kept Secrets by Taryn Simon.

1. Polly want a Cracker?
2. Don't let Homer Simpson near this site.
3. Ew... Where do they come from? Do families have to sign their love ones over or what?
4. Poor kitty-cat.
5. Free Playboy from the Government -- who knew!
6. Walt Disney's final resting place?
7. That's what I take on an International flight -- raw, uncooked meat!
8. It's alive...hard to believe from the photo, doesn't look very dangerous.
9. Wonder what the square footage is? It doesn't look very big.
10. Thousands of miles...
11. CIA...quick where's Sydney?

Tornado Watch #11

Currently we are under Tornado Watch #11 here in T-town until 1:00 AM!

Good thing I got my super fabulous weather radio for Christmas so that if I am sleeping it can alert me.

I'm not entirely sure where I would go as every room in my apt has windows. I guess a closet or my bathtub!


Christmas was grand!
The travel surrounding it was not. There were many delays and a missed flight.

Going home for Christmas I ended up in Cleveland and my luggage went to Pittsburgh.

Then on the way back to T-town every flight was delayed and we had a stop that was not listed on our tickets.


Needless to say after all that I am not feeling the Southwest "Luv" so much.

El Gato Guapo aka Max the Wondercat got a bath and his teeth brushed yesterday.

Have you ever tried to brush a cat's teeth?
It was an interesting experience let me tell you.

I now have several battle scars from both experiences.
