Things I haven't done yet

I've been wanting to go to Socrates Sculpture Park since I moved here almost 4 years ago. What's worse, I've lived just a couple miles downstream from the park for almost 2 years. They've got all sorts of crazy sculptures that come and go at the park, and it's right next to a Costco, which I've also been wanting to go to. Add them to my list.

let's go tiger!

i hope you give the whole world a 4-day long DP.

Kittens!

I found an ad for this exhibit when perusing the NYT. Looks fun.

nErD aLeRt!

I'm not so tech savvy and the Times does wonderful play-graphic-things that I do not know how to put in the blog. That being said, there is a story about an office rehab in Jersey (is this your building Kylie?) with a great slider rendering photo thingy. And the fancied up building has potential. Check it out here.

Who thought this was a good idea?

Just down the way from Kylie's apartment, you can go get your ass skin burned off. Designers of the recently opened B-Bridge Park threw in some scalding hot molten metal bubbles for children to play on. They have since posted some laminated flyers on a fence nearby warning of the dangers. They say that once the tree canopy fills in, they expect the problem to be alleviated, so only 10-15 years until you can play King of the Bubble on a sunny day!

UPDATE - The bubbles are getting play forts (cheap tents) to protect them from the sun (lawsuits).

I blame Australia

Last time I was locked in the hospital, I had to watch Titans games online, and to do so I streamed from an Australian Channel. They had a product that I found amusing, disgusting, and delicious looking at the same time. Well, don't fret my fellow Americans. We are just over 4 days away from that product (or something similar to it) being available on this side of the world. Introducing the KFC Double Down.

The gambling reference is a little 2005, but I'll still roll the dice on that heart attack.

more spring springing

a photo collection of some wonderful signs of spring from all over the world, including this cute one of some bear-babies playing in a PURBLIC BEAR PARK in switzerland!

thx susanne!

it's like...

...you have to wear fur for religious ceremonies, but you can't wear fur, because it's against your religion.

International animal-rights activists are campaigning for Israel to become the first country in the world to ban the sale of fur.

A bill to make Israel fur-free is being debated in the Knesset, pitting animal-rights campaigners against the lobbyists for the global fur industry and the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, which says the fur ban is an affront to its religious identity. (via)
