Get Fuzzy: Bucky and Social Networks

He's not wrong, I think.

I enjoy how Get Fuzzy manages to be very funny in just one panel, and then get even funnier as you read on.

Here's the full comic. 

Guess how much this tiny amount of pine nuts cost?

I will give you a hint and clue you in that they are $39.99 per pound.

Three sentence movie reviews: Step Up 2: The Streets.

When watching the Step Up* movies, I find it best to turn off the racial filter because really, the mostly white kids are going to best the mostly of color kids at their own game, really?  That said, this is an enjoyable dance movie, which is to say that the plot is incredibly predictable, some of the acting is horrendous and it doesn't really matter because there is enough dance to make it fun.  The leads are fine with Robert Hoffman all wide-eyed and shiny and Briana Evans all snarly girl with a heart of gold.

Cost:  free from library
Where watched:  at home

*I enjoyed calling this movie, "Step Up Two Colon The Streets."

Channing Tatum report.  Indeed, he has a bit part, just as I assumed.  However!  Said bit part (about 5 minutes total) also consists of CT dancing!  Using trampolines.  Becuase all the cool clubs have trampolines.  I guess? His dance was total CT and had an ending that made me squeal with delight.  And yes, I actually squealed.

Confusing messages in packaging

I had a total impulse buying moment at Powell's today.  And all stuff for me.  It's the worst.

But anyway. I was seduced by this Tangle Art kit, inspired by Zentangle, which I learned about through Postcrossing.
 

On the front there is talk of a 40-page book!
 

On the back, it has become a 33 page book.  Plus 7 blank sketchbook pages.

Kittens!

It doesn't matter how cold it is outside when there are KITTENS to watch.  These guys are all up for adoption.
 

 

This fellow is my favorite.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold

Like I mentioned in the killing frost post, it's been cold here.  And it doesn't really get this cold here.  But temperatures insist on hovering in the 20s.  Here's the thing about unseasonably (I should be using a word that means weather-not-in-the-normal-temperature-range.  Is there such a word?) cold weather.  We don't have the proper wardrobe.  Pants are the big problem.  Normally, in Portland, I just wear the same kind of pants year round.  They serve me through the "heat" of summer and the "cold" of winter.  I've lived in places where it really does get cold and let me tell you, I had a separate part of my closet for winter pants.  But here it doesn't make sense to do so.  The result is that I walk around with very cold legs until things return to normal.

But look!
 

Winter weather is also quite pretty!
