Einstein...Yarn Bombed?

Although I didn't take this photo (I work about 3 blocks from this statue), I wanted to share this "yarnbombing." Einstein usually looks like the photo above..but for a few hours he was yarnbombed. I told my best friend about it and the next thing I know she wanted (me) to knit Einstein a hat with earflaps.

A look into a Toddler's Brain....

Earlier this week I shared the image below with my sister in law. My two year old niece saw the image and immediately reacted by saying, "ELMO ELMO ELMO LOOK MOM ELMO ELMO ELMO LETS DRAW ELMO ELMO"
I think the image is pretty accurate. 

E.T.

While in Seattle/Tacoma this Spring I had the opportunity to watch the walruses at the aquarium/zoo there. I remember this guy and after this video I'm guessing you will too.

Book #45--Stealing Trinity

I don't usually read thrillers, but this book grabbed my attention. The author spins a tale about why the U.S.S. Indianapolis was sunk immediately after delivering one of the nuclear bombs. This story involves an american born German spy who was recruited to unite with a Nazi Scientist who was working at Los Alamos on the Manhattan Project. I found the story to be fast paced fun, but the one qualm I had was I wasn't sure if the characters were sufficiently motivated. That being said, if you want a quick, fast, enjoyable read, this is the novel for you.

Quite Possibly the Best Fishing Video Ever

I don't normally like amateur fishing videos, but this is amazing. Keep watching, the beginning is slow but this video is great. Oh and keeping with the same thing, this article is incredible. 

Call me Cookie..

So, that Carly Rae Jepsen song? The unofficial song of Summer 2012?  Catchy, inoffensive pop. From Colin Powell, Jimmy Powell and Carly performing the song with The Roots on class room instruments, the song has grabbed onto it's hold in pop culture. Well, now the folks from Sesame Street created a likable, cute parody of the song.
