July 30, 2008 creation

It’s been too long since I “discovered” another “creation”.  Here’s one of the “creations” posted by Yahoo from yesterday: A model displays a creation by Colombian designer Carmen Belisa during the Colombiamoda fashion show in Medellin July 30, 2008. REUTERS/Albeiro Opera (COLOMBIA) Now, myself, for all of my life I called this a “bikini”.    According to dictionary.com, a bikini is… (more…)

Moonlet and Elvis

Moonlet and I went to see an Elvis impersonator for an American Cancer Society fundraiser last night.  This guy was a blast.  Looked kinda like Elvis, sounded a LOT like Elvis, and bantered very well with the audience.  Totally enraptured by the presentation, my boy decided to park right in front of the stage.  “Elvis” asked him his name pretty close… (more…)

In essence, you never really know what to expect from one group to the next. Especially, if you’ve never heard of the performer before. Every… (more…)

Hancock

Me and Mrs. Moon decided to leave Moonlet at home and go do some adult thingies tonight.  We went out to eat at somewhere besides Hardees or Burger King.  We drank alocohol during said meal.  And then we went to see a movie not made by Pixar.  Given the limited viewing here, we saw Hancock.  Now, I had made the… (more…)

Is Lindsay Lohan gay?

There’s a lot of very depressing news going on in the world today.  In the midst of all that, there’s some fluff that is quite useless in every sense of the word.  The biggest of the big when it comes to complete uselessness is the evidence that Lindsay Lohan is lesbian. Outside of purely Pavlovian interests, I don’t think it… (more…)

Happy 4th!

Just a little celebration we have here every year:
