Christmas Vacation

If you have been a long time regular of my blog you know that my favorite movie of all time is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.  My number one rule is I can't watch it til December 1st.  I love the movie so much that I watch it at least 15 times throughout December.  This way I save my relationship with my girlfriend, otherwise I would watch it more.  I wore out my VHS tape of it and the best thing that could ever happen was Jen (my girlfriend) bought me the DVD. (god bless her)  Hope you enjoy the clip.  It also contains my favorite Christmas song as well from Ray Charles.  Whats your favorite movie during Christmas time?

21 and paris...

So the 28th.. I turn 21... I'm really down at the fact that I wont be spending it home with my parents, but I've been blessed with great friends here in the city. A group of us will be getting together for Ice skating and dinner to ring in the day ( I wish I was a club person.. but it aint gona happen).  Since I've never been to Paris.. and don't see myself visiting anytime soon, I thought why not bring Paris here. I found out about this amazing spot through my neighbor who works for the hotel chain.. I also did some previous work photographing their doggies .. ladies and gentlemen .. The Grand Cafe:

I also came home to find a lovely bottle of 1997 wine on the table.. I wove my roomies

I'm excited.. lets be merry

Thanks have been given, the turkey's been eaten, so take a moment and tell us: What was the best part of your Thanksgiving this year? Bonus points if you share a photo!

I love the food, of course, and seeing family but the best part of Thanksgiving for me was the day before.  I went and helped my mom make some pies to take over to my sister-in-law's house.  Mom doesn't have the strength to make the pies and sometimes doesn't remember how much and what ingredients went into the process but between the two of us we managed and had some fun in the making.  I didn't make pretty, Betty Crocker pie crusts but they tasted just fine to me.

I found these ladies through a friend.. and they crack me up!!
happy Turkey day everyone!!

I've posted Ben Hecks creations many, many times and the man is just amazing.  Yea, he's the guy that created the Xbox 360 and PS3 laptops among tons of other awesome gadgets.  Thanks to The Engadget Show we learn a little more about the man.

David Levy thinks so.  He is the author of Love and Sex With Robots and he's all for it.  I'm not too sure about that, hmmm, well.......hmmmm....maybe not.

And yes, it does travel in time...or at least to another part of the Crysis world.  Mr geek, I salute you!

Using projectors of course....the folks at Urban Screen took an old building and had some crazy fun by turning it into an interactive pinball machine.  Be sure to check out some of the other crazy things they've done.
