super quints

professor willoughby showed us a clip of these cuties as a lesson on the unexpected blessings of fertility treatment.

i'm a sucker for multiples. plus, i wanted to know if the family was mormon (they are)



and they can sing!

jaw dropping

oh my goodness. i did not even think about exposing kids on facebook. when dr. coyne made that comment, about her creepy high-school friend now having access to pictures of her kids, my jaw just about hit the floor. i just never thought of that!

now i feel so guilty for posting pictures of my pseudo-nieces on my facebook page. the twinners are just so cute, and i innocently assume that other people would love to see pictures of my cute pseudo-nieces. i didn't even think about these random people that i add having access to these cute twinners in a less than lovely way!

another day down, another lesson learned!

post 14: emails

this past week while listening to an episode of the podcast "how stuff works: stuff you should know", the topic of folklore was addressed. the hosts talked about how back in the day, as urban legends were passed on, each storyteller added his or her own spice to the story. but now, with the wonderfulness of the world-wide-interweb, we can just click 'send' an an urban legend is on it's way around the globe.

here are a few images from a hilarious email mass forward that my mom sent me.

hope you enjoyed them as much as i did :)

post 13: mash up

i must admit. i love mash-up songs.

you know, like blue october/imogen heap's "congratulations" or kanye west/chris martin's "homecoming".

two radically different artists in the same song. lovely synthesis of creativity.

glee puts a lovely spin on it.

it's my life/confessions


halo/walkin'on sunshine


excuse me while i go sing and dance.

favorite books

Mini-me loved Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins.

The main character's name was Karana and she had long dark hair.

Karana's best friend was a wild dog.

She fended for herself in nature.

She lived on an island which may or may not have been shaped like a (blue) dolphin.

My name started with a 'K'.

My best friend was a dog, with a tendency to act wild.

I liked to play outside.

I lived by the beach.

The similarities were endless, you see.

My favorite adult-book was definitely Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.

This book opened my eyes to the way I perceived crime.

You should read it sometime!

eleven: sharing time

i feel like those mass joke emails have now been transformed into websites. quite lovely and hilarious. plus great for procrastination or insomnia. or whenever you need a good laugh.
