Have you ever had those things that grate on you a little? I’m talking about things that don’t exactly make you angry, but your day would have been better off without. Here’s mine:
1. Taylor Swift is really pretty ugly. Looks like a frail specter about to keel over. And she's got that weird bucked-tooth smile. She's been talking smack about Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Not cool, Taylor. Not cool at all.
2. Lady Gaga is too weird. I don't like her. One thing that bothers me is how she preaches to her fans or little monsters or whatever that they need to "be themselves", when she herself is anything but. Being yourself is overrated, as Gaga well knows. If she's so into being herself, why hide behind all the masks and stupid outfits?
I know techno is not everybody's thing. But if it is up your alley, here is a free album from I guy a know. He is really nice. I asked him if I could share it and he said sure.
His band's name is Wormsign (a Dune reference there for the sci-fi geeks!). It sounds really cool to me. But I like all his music. He's got a lot of other albums available for free on his website. That's located here:
I live in Ohio and lately, my 8-year-old has been getting super interested in water birds. Well, we found this one bird the other day, and it has got us really stumped. We are having a super hard time trying to identify it! We've gone to whatbird.com, and it looks like it is either a Grebe or a Merganser, but the color pattern doesn't look quite right. I took a few blurry pictures. The bird won't let us get much closer without flying away. Here are a few things I noticed about it:

I had heard good things about this movie. I wanted to like it, but in the end, it just didn't do much for me.
It's not that it was a bad movie. It just seemed a little overblown, overcomplicated, and overdramatic for what was actually going on.
You know the plot. Good ol' Leo enters people's minds, sneaks around there, and steals (or perhaps plants) information. Sounds like a decent enough sci-fi yarn, doesn't it? I love themes like that, in themselves. Sort of a Dreamscape meets The Matrix, all focusing on the question: "What is real?"
