Today's Memes

Happy Halloween!

We are dressing up at work, and I came up with the idea a few days ago for a costume. I printed out some of my favorite animal memes and strung them together to hang around my neck. I'm going as "I Can Haz Cheeseburger"

Happy National Cat Day!

I'm marking my calendar so I don't get caught unawares next year!

Wes Anderson Spoof on SNL

I caught this online from Saturday Night Live last night. It was hosted by Edward Norton who was in "Moonrise Kingdom" by West Anderson. If you are a fan of Anderson's, you'll get a kick out of it.

 

The Coolest National Anthem You Will Ever Hear

This was on the L.A. Times website. A sophomore at a area high school playing the national anthem before a football game, on the violin. And he plays the shit out of it, check it out.

Today's Funny Stuff

Brian Williams Has Apple Down to a Science

I laughed when he said this on the broadcast last night. I love how less than 24 hours later someone made a meme out of it!

The caption said "They Rock & Roll All Night with Wine and Cheese". I love I Can Has Cheezburger, there is something every day to make me laugh.

'The Deep' a stop-motion short from PES

American director and stop-motion animator PES released this stop motion short on his official YouTube channel recently.

I saw it tonight on www.thisiscolossal.com. Check it out it, it is really cool. There is also another feature on the same website on Anthony Howe who makes kinetic sculptures, and is located on Orcas Island here in Washington state. I have a link to his website in my favorites.

 

Fog

Foggy, foggy night. Okay, this is not Don McLean. But it is foggy. Again.

It has been nice that it has been mild and dry for the last almost two weeks, but the trade off is that each night the fog seems to be rolling in earlier and earlier. The sun was completely blocked out by the fog by about 5:45 p.m.

Not that I'm saying I want it to start raining.....

Cats, Candy and a GIF for Good Measure

Th Cadbury letter was pretty funny; there are a lot of people out there way more clever than I am, Thank goodness for the internet!

The GIF at the bottom was part of a gallery of Zach Dougherty's digital work on Colossal.com. There are some pretty cool ones, you should check it out.

My Little Love Bugs

Munchkin loves to crawl up onto my shoulder after I pick him up for a hug. He settled in while I was making my Chicken and Dumplings.

I decided to try and take a few "selfies" while he was up there. Mind you my phone doesn't have a front facing camera, hence the interesting angles.

He finally jumped down onto the bed to have a face and ear washing session with Boo. That ended like it always does with him getting sassy and biting her and she runs off.

This 'n That

He's Calling The Loch Ness Monster's Pager

Today turned out beautiful and sunny, it's supposed to be like this all week through Saturday.

Tonight is the last episode of "Last Tango in Halifax" on PBS. I've really enjoyed it, but haven't found a single other person who has been watching it to swap stories with.

I'm excited, I was researching a little, and there will be a new season of "Doc Martin". It looks like it already aired in the U.K. so who knows how long it will take to reach us on this side of the pond.

A new season of "Republic of Doyle" started two weeks ago on CBC, so I'm happy. For the most part I only watch TV when there is something on I specifically want to watch, and I'm trying to be productive in the evenings, but it is harder for me when it's pitch black by 7 pm. I'm close to finishing the dress I started sewing a month ago, and not sure what I will work on next, but I want to keep the momentum going.....

Government - Why Does It Have to Be More Hate Than Love?

So this was on Fail Blog yesterday, I suppose this would be funny if Stephen Colbert was saying it with a straight face. Not so much with this guy. Who in the world elects idiots like this to an energy committee?

And the shutdown continues.......

Government Shut Down - Part II

I couldn't resist this one tonight ☺

Malala Yousafzai in Parade Magazine

Malala Yousafzai

The cover story in today's Parade magazine was about Malala Yousafzai; the girl from Pakistan that was targeted and shot by the Taliban a year ago. She is a remarkable young woman, and an inspiration to young and old alike for her determination and generosity of spirit.

Government Shutdown

My favorite memes so far this week poking fun at the federal government shutdown. The whole thing is so ridiculous. 

The most ridiculous moment of the week for me, was when the Congressman from somewhere back east was caught on film chastising a park ranger at one of the monuments in Washington D.C. and telling her she should be ashamed of herself for not allowing the public in. I could not flipping believe it. As if she had anything at all to do with the park being closed, and here she was being ridiculed by someone who directly had something to do with it.
