Hooo....Hoooo

I love Owls!

Me Quiero Las Lechuzas!

I like owl jewlery......but I never knew that there was so much mythology related to owls......several websites actually, check out a few.....

(Notice, there seems to be some connection between owls and nudity.....my kind of animal!)

U.S.A: if you hear an Owl-cry you must return the call, or else take off an item of clothing and put it on again inside-out.

Transylvania: farmers used to scare away Owls by walking round their fields naked.

Mongolia, Inner: Owls enter the house by night to gather human fingernails.

Lorraine: spinsters go to the woods and call to the Owl to help them find a husband.

Luxembourg: Owls spy treasures, steal them and hoard them.

Madagascar: Owls join witches to dance on the graves of the dead.

Malawi: the Owl carries messages for witches.

Malaya: Owls eat new-born babies.

Babylon: Owl amulets protected women during childbirth.

Wales: an Owl heard among houses means an unmarried girl has lost her virginity.
If a woman is pregnant and she alone hears an owl hoot outside her house at night then her child will be blessed.

Goodbye Hair o' Mine

Hair grows,......and apparently it is my duty to cut it.
Now I had all the best intentions of letting my hair grow long and wild, but I'm a weak, weak girl, and nothing feels more satisfying then slowly slicing through a thick chunk of messy hair.
-and lord knows that I'm a sucker for messy hair.....and instant gratification.

Now bring on summer!

One More Week, Or Two Actually

I have to finish my paper......

but Sondre is playing and I'm getting flashbacks of driving around in "Karen Labaron" (wow, remember her?) my first year of college and singing along to "Faces Down" at the top of my lungs.............
and I wonder why I didn't make any friends that year....

I know.....

THe worst part about the show "the Swan" (to expand on Tina's entry) is that after these women are all made over, and they look at themselves in the mirror for the first time and they think, "this is it, I'm finally beautiful, I'm finally good enough"....one of them is picked to be in the pageant and the other is sent packing. Basically told "yep we did absolutley everything that we could to you and you are still not pretty enough"....There's no end to it.....you're never pretty enough, that's just the way it is.........
Makes me feel like tuning in next week (actually in some masochistic way it does) Cause who doesn't enjoy an affirmation of their insecurities....in front of millions

Who would have thought?.......

Take a close look at this picture.....

Specifically at the gentleman on the right.....
Look vaguely familiar?......

Now remove the mustache and take off about ten years.......

Here's a clue: "Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories, by the Lake of Onawana...."

That's right, "Salute Your Shorts"'s very own Pinskey.....all grown up...
and he's in a band (well two bands actually), both of which rock.

Sure, he may not have been as endearing as the original camp stud "Mikey" (we all remember the episode where Mikey left and Pinskey appeared....chaos ensued)....but he was cooler....and lord knows that is an important quality when starting a band. Talent is fine but "coolness" is where it's at.

SO check out "Rilo Kiley" (on "Takeoffs and Landings" the hidden track is called "Salute My Shorts"), and his new band "The Elected" (the best of the two in my opinion).......I think you'll dig the music, but if you don't at least you can be one step ahead of the "Where Are They Now"-Salute Your Shorts episode!
