I am so ready for this!

There is a trailer out for X-Men Origins: Wolverine! Wolverine is my favorite characters from the movie and this movie has my other favorite character from the comic Gambit in it! Gambit hasn't been in a movie yet so I am super excited. This is when my inner geek comes out and giddily dances around.

Another Cute Baby

ZooBorns also has a section on pygmy Marmoset. How can anything be cuter or smaller than this? It is not possible!

Cutest Ugly Baby in the World!

Amani, the baby aardvark, was born December 8th at the Detroit Zoo. It is almost enough to make me want to go to Detroit!


The story is from ZooBorns which may be the cutest site in the world.

Some other cute babies:
Amur Leopard
Red Pandas
Snow Leopard and puppies she is being raised with

Light the Tree

For a little Christmas fun here is a game lighting a tree. This was the most lighting I have got in this year since I was a scrooge and didn't get around to a tree.

Light Up Christmas Tree

Cheyenne could be bear?!

At this point I would not be surprised after reading the two following stories.

Man's Pet Dog is Actually a Rare Arctic Fox

Pet Cats Turn out to be Leopards

Human Marvels

I ran across this today in one of those internet adventures where you follow a bunch of links and come across something unexpected, but wonderful! The site managed to draw me in and while creeping me out I couldn't stop reading the stories.

Festivus for the Rest of Us

I have been sadly lacking in holiday cheer this year and I am not sure why. I have been down town twice for fireworks and Christmas lights, but I guess I am just not ready. Although in a effort to get in the mood I am blogging about super cool gingerbread houses! The look better then most of the models from my architecture student days so it is kinda amazing.

As if there is no conquences to that

This is the weirdest video I have seen lately. It is Susan Powter (from "Stop the Insanity", shaved head, weightloss craze days) advocating eating organic pears. She nows has hair and tatts, but she still scares me!

Perfect Christmas Ornament!

How can you beat a turducken ornament! I forget sometimes that not everyone knows about weird Louisiana things. A turducken is a holiday (Cajun maybe?) treat. It is basically a a turkey stuffed with a duck that is stuffed with a chicken. The order gives you the name tur (turkey) duck (duck) en (chicken). We had one at our office holiday party a few years ago. The folks responsible for it went to riduculous lengths to get an authentic turducken. I was slightly unimpressed. It was the first time I could remember eating duck and it was not my favorite fowl. There is also some type of stuffing between each bird. We had broccoli and cheese or something similar to that to meet the dietary needs of another person in the office. I don't know if it made it better or worse since that is the only kind I have had.

Passive Agressive Notes

I know I have been responsible for probably more than one note in my lifetime, but I still find these funny! I think my favorites have to be the multiple notes that get more and more disturbing with each note or the random one that people put in public. It makes me sad to think that I did not get a picture of the crazy political guy on a street corner in San Antonio two years ago that was holding a sign that said "Feed Al Gore to the Polar Bears."
