because i'm now at home i won't be updating much wit pictures, but give it a month and i'll be back wit pictures again. so for now it'll mainly be quotes and links of things (but not 'funny' links like in my musings. more... beautiful or thought provoking stuff.)
frozen garden. really quite amazing. reminds me of the girls from the city of gold and lead book, how they were chosen as the most beautiful and then preserved in that 'gallery'. altho this is in no way as creepy.
In 1920, 57% of Hollywood movies billed the female star above the leading man. In 1990, only 18% had the leading lady given top billing.
Canada declared national beauty contests canceled as of 1992, claiming they were degrading to women.
A healthy man who is good physical shape has about 12 to 15 percent body fat. A woman in good shape has between 15 to 18 percent. The models used in most of the advertising for abdominal machines, on the other hand, have less than 10 percent body fat.
in the spirit of christmas i post this crazyness. it's freakin incredible the effort some go thru wit their christmas lights. oh, and don't forget to turn up your volume. (thanks thy!) now can you imagine if you were the neighbor across the street? you would go nuts wit all the damn lights and music! so perhaps you'd rather look at this? jack black (lol, open this! just one picture) for his new movie. and perfectly sized for your desktop i might add. ah, now you can't get enough of the funny pictures? well here are some of figure skaters looking not too graceful. :)
(eesh, every time i gotta recap!) so after teaching a few of us went on a seperate trip to the city of chengdu in the sichuan province in china, home of really spicy chinese food. while we were there we visted people's park (like every city in china has a people's park) and took those sticker pictures that were really popular years ago over here? anyway, perfectly it was a sheet of 16 so each of chose our four backgrounds. here are mine!
i got two hello kitties! haha! the third is cause of my dragon boat team name: yo mama's party cow (no kidding!). and the moon one? i dunno. thought it was pretty i guess. lol. btw? i love that shot of emily in the last one. (she's the one looking at the screen)
shanghai. awesome place. and i've absolutely no shortage of pictures. so here're some of the sunset in shanghai.
first thru third pictures taken from people's square, where the museum, grand theatre and such are located. don't really kno wat the buildings in the pictures are tho... in the first picture, the main building is this beautiful silvery building. the top of it has these waves so the refelction of light is spectacular. behind that, which you can see, altho not well, is this gold building. and together, during the day, it's an awesome sight. silver and gold against this great blue sky. some of the bluest skies i saw in china were in shanghai. in picture two the building to the left, wit the curved 'hande' coming off it, is the museum i think? and picture four is just some random street i thought looked cool in the darkening sunset.
dennis rodman (basketball player, remember?) has always been a little strange. but lately he's gotten even weirder. publicity stunt anyone? well watever it is, it doesn't seem to be working. or that dress, hair, or makeup... guy really should just stick to buzz cuts and chapstick. speaking of which... reepal has long since been telling me that he gets hooked onto chapstick. i guess it works so well that when he doesn't use it his lips go to hell? and appt it's true. lips (and people) can develope an addiction to lipbalm. i think i might have a bit of a problem myself. but have no fear, there's a wonder 12 step program outlined for you. and so while you're busily applying your next coat of chapstick, go watch this weird bunny vs crow video.
