The Moon is Ridiculous

optimism running rampant (at some point)


Have you guys seen the moon the last few days driving to work? It's freaking ridiculous how beautiful it looks. I wish I was not driving to work as there are a dozen Kodak moments. Perhaps some day I'll get up on a Saturday at 6:00AM and take some shots.

Yea -THAT ain't gonna happen!! I'll have to settle for sunset photos.

BTW - American Indians call this the Worm Moon along with Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sugar Moon, Sap Moon and That Big Freaking White Orb In The Sky Moon.

'Public Enemies' Trailer Debuts to Big Buzz

This Friday, one of the year's most anticipated flicks, 'Watchmen,' hits theaters. Folks are pumped, but a hot new trailer is stealing some of the Watchmen's thunder. 'Public Enemies,' starring Johnny Depp, recently released its first preview on the Web, and queries on the clip are soaring.

The film, which co-stars temperamental thespian Christian Bale and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, focuses on the life of notorious gangster John Dillinger. It won't hit theaters until July, but queries on the movie's real-life characters are beginning their climb. "John dillinger mugshot," "dillinger body," and "john dillinger escape plan" all posted gains. Additionally, lookups for "dillinger movie" and "johnny depp gangster movie" shot up the Search box.

Blogs and news agencies quickly weighed in with their own take on the hugely popular trailer. BuzzSugar (no relation) wrote that the trailer got their blood pumping, while the New York Post calls the trailer "phenomenal." Based on its early Search numbers, 'Public Enemies,' unlike its doomed anti-hero, has a very promising future.

YOU DECIDE 2009!

The WeatherPixie

We all have watched the Columbus Weather Pixie every day working her little tail off telling people how it is outside and what you should wear. I noticed that today and yesterday she had to find her winter coat again. Poor poor Weather Pixie.

So -I was thinking. Perhaps we should send her on a little vacation, a road trip. I think she could use one. Can you do without her in Columbus for a couple weeks? Send her on a world tour? I could look for a stand in while she is gone.

Think of the adventures she could have.

The Columbus Weather Pixie's Spring Break is in your hands.
==============================

I was walking back to work yesterday and as normal had my camera. I snapped a few shots in RAW (not IN the raw) and started playing around. I believe this will enlarge if clicked upon - I'll have to try it

============================
This is a real interesting video. It is a real time and lasts for two minutes. The Miracle on the Hudson plane thingy including air traffic control and voice from the cockpit. It is amazing how fast 2 minutes can go.

One thing I remember in an interview was they asked Sully if everything was going in slow motion and he said no, everything was going pretty darn fast!


==================================

OH remember my rant about Customer Service? This appeared yesterday on MSNBC

CUSTOMER SERVICE OVERKILL CAN KILL YOU

I'm now pretty sure they read my blog as I was first. BEAT YA MSNBC!

And remember what I said Potbellies does? They ask you "What are you doing today" in a chipper I really really care way.

Here is going to be my defense.

"Hi, what are you having today"

"Roast Beef on Regular"

"mmmmmm that is one of my favorites. What are you doing this afternoon"

"I'm putting my dog down because I just found out I have cancer and have only 4 months to live an no one will take care of him. What are you doing"

Of course I would start laughing then.

that should shut them up for a while.

OH - don't get me started on the Common Council meeting I missed. That was Augies last free cheep shot at Main Street. It's sad how the Council can be bullied into voting like deer in headlights because they are afraid of confrontation. They voted AGAINST saving Columbus money.

I'm going to have to have TruthinessInColumbus Government look into this at some point.

  4. That video... words fail. I'm shivering.

    "Unable."

    I've heard that recording before, I'll hear it again, and I'll always have the exact same reaction.

    Love the ghost car in the photo. Looking at it, though, and the ones you've posted in previous days... they are stunningly beautiful, but-- do they uncannily resemble post-pepperoni-and-sport-pepper dreams, or is that just me?

    I still say the Weather Pixie couldn't look more like DJ if you drew her personally. I'll miss her, but spokesmodels do generally like to keep their tans current. Via Rio.
