Going to Prom!

Yes I am 23 years old and I am going to my first Prom. Don't worry it is not with highschool kids. Some friends of mine (Frisbee friends) are having an 80's Prom. I'll be big hair, funky ugly dresses, baby blue suits, 80's music and picture perfect memories. I can't wait. Plus it's my first prom ever (as I went to an all girls highschool that didn't have one..:( boo).

Art & History

I have created a new blog. One that is dedicated to my two greatest interest: art and history. I hope you will enjoy it.

I will still post here for the occasional comment, but most of my activity will now be at the new blog.

Hogan's Heroes

Ivan Dixon recently passed away. Ivan played Sgt. James Kinchloe in the 1960's tv comedy "Hogan's Heroes".



Rest in Peace.

Simon's Cat

This is Just like my cat. Trampies. Anyone who has a cat needs to see this video. I found it on Youtube.

Mummified Dinosaur!

In 1999 a mummified dinosaur was found in North Dakota. Over these past couple of years scientist have been extracting the mummified Edmontosaurus from the rock in which it is enclosed. The fossil has been nick named Dakota.

Dakota is about 30 feet from nose to tail. It is one of 4 mummified dinosaurs that have ever been found. Of the 4 Dakota has the most, and best preserved skin. This discovery has really helped scientist explore the question: "what did dinosaurs look like?"



I am very excited about this discovery. Dakota will be put on public display for the first time this summer. Road trip anyone?

National Geographic has been funding this excavation.

Banana

You may or may not remember, but a little while ago I read a book called "Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World." Apparently I was ahead of the curb with this book, as last Sunday the New York Times featured it in their weekly book review. Today, when searching for the review online I found Dan Koeppel's official blog/website for his book. It has some interesting stuff. Everything from science to the connection between Keira Knightley and our market banana.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Although I will not be able to celebrate, since I will be at work or in class until 11p.m. I wish everyone else a Happy St. Patty's day!
