Interesting Pic of the Day™: Kurtz's Compound or Disney's Animal Kingdom?

It's getting close to vacation time, so how about a photo from somewhere that looks like it's either part of Kurtz's compound in Cambodia (Apocalypse Now) or maybe Disney-world's Animal Kingdom? ... Disney, you say? Ok, here it is!

Roadside Pic of the Day™: Chinese Fu Lion, It's What You Want to Guard Your Buffet

People know you're not messing around when you have a pair of these Chinese Foo (or "Fu") lions guarding your front door. According to Wikipedia, these guardian lions are always created in pairs: a male and a female. How to tell them apart? The male lion has some sort of ball depicted under a paw while the female lion will have a little cub instead.

Interesting Pic of the Day™: MELTDOWN!

According to this device, I was having a "MELTDOWN!" at the Pensacola Circle of Life: Body, Mind, Spirit and Paranormal Expo this weekend.. maybe that's because I was told the on-site ATM machine was charging a $5 fee for withdrawals!

Interesting Pic of the Day™: Are Dire Wolves Cooler Than You?


Short answer: yes. Dire Wolves lived during the Quaternary Glaciation, also known as the "Ice Age" - how cool is that? You want to know what's slightly less cool? You're, technically, sort-of living in the same period since the Quaternary Glaciation hasn't really ended yet (technically, we're in an interglacial period, which marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch - which, coincidentally, is my favorite epoch). How's that for your global warming? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation

Interesting Pic of the Day™: Reading is Good for You, Most Likely

It's been awhile..! Where have I been? Busy. That's right - I've been busy reading.

Here's the proof: a picture of me reading a book about dogs or something.

Or is that a magazine? Ahh, it doesn't matter, I'm reading, right? Reading is good for you. I should've worn my glasses so I'd look like I'm hard-core reading, but on second thought, I'm probably just looking at the photos..

Ok, I've read enough. I'm going to play some videogames now!

Interesting Pic of the Day™: Enter the Dragon!

For only $29.99 (according to that little price tag), you too can own your very own Chinese Dragon that brings fear to politicians and the little kids next door!

Game Pic of the Day™: There's a Dragon on my 360 Controller!

Now this is cool and unexpected. I was at Walmart looking for Doritos when I stumbled upon this Xbox 360 controller. It's black and white and actually has art on it: something that looks like hair on the left, an eye, lips, an old school phone... and on the right side a Dragon! Yes, a Dragon. Sold. Ok, I'm female and I don't need pretty art to make me buy something, but it helps in this case - after all, who wants a boring controller that costs the same anyway?

Ahh yes, the price. The best part, it came with a matching black and white headset and all for $39.99. That's the price at some places for the plain old controller without cool art and without a matching headphone. Schweet!

Interesting Pic of the Day™: Trapped in an Underground Subterranean Cave with 50 People!

This photo was taken at DeSoto Caverns - a big, big cave: 100 yards long, 12 stories high. Really neat place.. but we only came because we thought there would be orcs to slay and treasures to plunder. We were wrong. All the orcs were already dead and the only plundering that occurred happened to us at their overpriced gift shop!

If you've never had the pleasure of watching the Navy's Blue Angels, do yourself a favor and check them out next time they're in your neighborhood. I missed them at Pensacola Beach this year, but have seen them many times - always an amazing show.

In the mean time, here's an awesome YouTube video of what these heroes do for a living - Happy Independence Day!! :
