Learning to swim

Yesterday Moonlet reached an important milestone in my book.  Always loving the water, it was sort of a key point to me that he learn how to swim and enjoy the water as much as I have.  For several years we took all the baby steps to getting there.  Playing in baby pools, playing in wave pools, throwing him in… (more…)

Wall e

Amazon.com Widgets Last night we went to see Walle.  We actually had a little more fun than usual and went to the drive-in to see it.  It was a curious movie.  They do an excellent job of building personalities around what should be emotionless non-personal things such as a garbage collecting bot and a bot that incenerates whatever distracts it.  If… (more…)

What Mensa Peeps do for fun

Got this via email: The Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year’s winners. Read them carefully. Each is an actual word with only one letter altered to form a new word.  Some are terrifically… (more…)

Sneezing is still free

“The only truly pleasurable thing you can do that is still free is sneezing.” — Paul Burton I thought that was a true epiphany. And, although I try to argue every point, on this one, I could not. I can think of one other thing, but depending on where you do it, it could get expensive.

Get Smart

Took most of the Moon family to see Get Smart today. For the most part, I liked.  I liked it a lot.  In fact, given some of the reviews I’ve read, I should be embarassed by how much I liked it.  It was almost all upbeat with no extensive drawn-out scenes.  That made for fun not for adults, but didn’t… (more…)

Jessica Simpson eats her meat

Now, THIS is dead-sexy! Supposedly it’s Jessica’s jab at Carrie Underwood, former girlfriend of Jessica’s current boyfriend.  Apparently she got tired of hearing what a wonderful vegetarian Carrie is.  PETA is not amused.  They therefore dug as deep inside their souls as possible and put together the wittiest reply they could.  Here’s a synopsis: Meat increases the risk of breast… (more…)

The foot bone is connected to the ankle bone…..

I love stuff like this.  In Britney Spears’ lawsuit involving a paparazzi who’s foot she ran over, her lawyer made this assertion: “….only way the victim’s foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location.” Now, the sheer brilliance of this insight is further magnified because we are talking… (more…)

Study confirms my Pavlov thread, hint of sex makes men drool more

Foxnews ran this incredibly insightful headline: Study: Women in Bikinis Make Men More Impulsive Of course, in order to get men to read it, they ran this pic: Naturally, I came runnin to the story.  The gyst is Bram Van Den Bergh of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium has figured out that when viewing ads and stuff of women in… (more…)

Kung Fu Panda

Most of the family took in Kung Fu Panda over the weekend.  It’s safe.  Very safe.  However, it was kinda fun.  There is nothing particularly unusual, or memorable, about this movie two or three days after I’ve seen it.  However, the Moonlet liked it, and I didn’t fall asleep.  That’s two thumbs up for me. That’s all I have to say… (more…)

Unintentionally Creepy songs from long, long, ago

Back in the old days, music was a lot more fun.  Censorship still lasted probably sort of into the late 70′s or so, so people had to work around the obvious.  The result then was sometimes you really didn’t know if a song was supposed to be creepy or not.  Nowadays, they just blurt it out.  You’d have to be… (more…)
