Behold the future of fortunetellers!

Cheley sent me an ecard that states it can read your mind
I must admit that it had pretty good odds with only one miss in about 25 tries with me (but then again maybe I don't know how to subtract)

Is it magic or math?!

Update: tsunami videos

I realized that the best vid (IMO) isn't even in the batch I linked to so here are a couple more direct links:

british tourist video of waves crashing into beach

A wall of water crashing into the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in India. Devastating power!





here are a few directories with direct links : 1. / 2. / 3.

If you still have any doubts about how destructive this was click the link below, but warning: graphic content

tsunami videos

With the tsunami so widespread, and unfortunately affecting so many people, there seems to be tons of video footage of it's awesome destruction. And it seems that everyone is searching the web for all of it. Here are a few direct links to save you some time:

inside a Thai cafe as a second wave comes in

on a beach in Kenya where the devastation was not as bad

upper story view of waves crashing onto shore

flooding into hotel pool and beyond

people slammed into rocks on the beach

flooding into hotel courtyard

I really don't have the time to direct link them all so here are some sites that are hosting more videos:

Wave of destruction (you will need Torrent to download the files. If you don't have it click here to download)

Media Bloggers Association Tsunami Video Hosting Initiative

Punditguy's blog

Cheese and Crackers

and finally, there is a blog setup specifically for posting info about the tsunami and relief effort:

The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami Blog

Jet Li's has finally been Unleashed upon us all

It looks like Luc Besson has had his hands in this one :)

I hope it's more along the lines of his earlier Directoral works and not so much an action flick (their previous combined efforts churned up the unoriginal Kiss of the Dragon which had it's highlights but was essentially nothing more than a decent ass kick film). If a trailer can be any indicator (I'm not saying it can) than this film should far surpass that one.

Enjoy :)

Morgan is super cool

"and the Academy Award goes to..." ;)

Bob Hoskins as a brutish British ass

only in Houston (well just about)

Mostly cloudy 68°F

We go from perfect snow to perfect weather in a matter of days. Actually, yesterday was sunny and bright, so really only two days between them. Today we've had a couple of small showers, but they were nice.

Today is Trish's 35th birthday so Happy Birthday big(little) sister!

while I'm at it...I may as well post the two Goblet of Fire pics recently released:

Harry and Hermione (i believe just before Harry faces the Hungarian Horntail...)



and Ronald's beautiful Yule Ball gown ;)



Can't wait!

and speaking of...




I'm just glad there's a little something called Star Wars to tidy me over until the book comes out ;)

Sin City

Sin City is here! (direct download link)

brandy can't spell christmas ;)

White Christmas in Houston!

Merry Christmas!

We recieved about two inches of snow on Christmas Eve and seeing how this was Rowan's first Christmas, he'll probably expect it every year from now on. ;)

Brandy loved it so much that she told everyone that we were moving. Maybe it won't be so hard to convince her five years down the road now. :)
