Bizarre: Updated

And now something truly bizarre. I don't know how people think of this stuff.

Click on the number above to see. I don't think I could adequately describe the weirdness of this, but I promise it won't hack your computer or anything like that.


UPDATE:
Apparently, this is a website where people post pictures of themselves with their head in a freezer. Super weird.

Here's the information that explains (somewhat) 241543903:

ABOUT 241543903

Nobody knows when and where 241543903 started.

From a quick Google search, the when can be determined to be within the past few weeks. The oldest 241543903 on record with Flickr is 241543903 by san pedro glue stick . There’s a twist to the meme, sakebalboa’s 241543903 also shows someone with his head into the freezer (incidentally the same freezer, fridge, room as san pedro glue stick), alas the title of the entry is it’s cold, head in the fridge, and it is only tagged 241543903.

The blog entries with instructions do not appear on the blogosphere till much later, on April 10, 2009 and April 13, 2009: both stating the same text:

TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOUR HEAD

INSIDE A FREEZER. UPLOAD THIS PHOTO

TO THE INTERNET (LIKE FLICKR). TAG THE

FILE WITH: 241543903. THE IDEA IS THAT IF

YOU SEARCH FOR THIS CRYPTIC TAG, ALL

THE PHOTOS OF HEADS IN FREEZERS

WILL APPEAR. I JUST DID ONE.

Pretty clear, pretty easy, pretty flexible.

Where’s your 241543903? Life is not a spectator’s sport, participate, have some fun.

Movie Advice

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.

My favorite advice from a movie.

Do you have any advice from a movie that you keep in mind?

Movie Quote 92

Bakc again, after a fully day of movies on the couch, you know I have something to share. So, here's Movie Quote 92:

Christ, is that blue soup?

I seriously love this movie. And I can get Chuck to watch it without any arm-twisting at all.

Lazy Day

Aside from taking my two precious dogs to the vet (and spending close to $500 on vet bills), I spent the entire day on the couch watching movies. Call me lazy; I'm just fine with it. I kept thinking that I should have been doing laundry, cleaning the kids rooms, wrapping up some loose ends at work, or any number of things that likely need doing. Still, a little R&R needed doing too. I think our big accomplishment of the day is going to be baths for the kids. Yay us. At least I have another day tomorrow to catch up with all the things that I let sit today.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day, enjoying the rain, loving your family, and making your life wonderful.

Much love to you all,
Me.

Picture day

Today is picture day for Luke and Evie's school. I'm pretty sure the kids didn't brush their teeth this morning.

Good thing these pictures aren't scratch-n-sniff.

Library Card

To earn a Cub Scout belt loop, Chuck took Luke to get his first library card. How exciting! He was sensitive enough to document the process for me while I was at Evie's soccer game. And here you go!

While I was watching this sweet girl ride the pine . . .


Chuck was watching Luke do this . . .





Chuck actually picked this book out. It is called Sammy in the Sky. He had Luke tell me about the story.

Chuck started it with, "Tell Mom what your book is about."

Luke responded with a brief answer, "It's about a boy and he has a dog named Sammy."

Chuck prompted him further, "What happens to the dog?"

Luke answered again, "He gets sick."

I groaned "uh oh" in my mind, and and responded with a dawning realization of doom, "Oh no. That's not good."

Chuck smiled with a wince, but continued to prompt Luke, "How is he sick?"

Luke's sweet voice said, "First he doesn't run as much as he used to. Then he can't walk."

My eyes widened at this part of the story, and I bore my eyes into Chuck.

Chuck shrugged his shoulders and laughed at the situation as he asked, "And then what happens?"

Luke spoke softly, "He dies." For all his craziness, he is a very sweet boy.

I gushed how sad it was and hit Chuck on the shoulder for obvious reasons. I mean, couldn't he have at least glanced at the book before they checked it out?

Soooo . . . my point is that I don't recommend "Sammy in the Sky" as a book unless you're trying to help your kids through the loss of your dog or pet. Geez. Way to go, Chuck.
