Tecktonik Dynamite

This is a wacky dance craze that's spreading throughout France. It's called Tecktonik. It is pretty funny, but it gets even funnier when you realize they're just ripping off Napoleon Dynamite without knowing it. We watched some of the clips from youtube and this is as good as it gets. Actually pretty entertaining for 48 seconds.

wanna live 1,000 years?

I read this article today about curing the "disease" of aging.

“The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”

So then I found this website which forecasts how long you will live based on your responses to a few questions. According to this, I'll live to be 108. But if I turn on the "superlongevity factors" which account for all the technologies they expect to come out, I'll live to be 224. Sheesh. At that rate, I won't be in my childbearing years until I'm 60. Sweet, that means right now I'm, like, a teenager. Does that mean my car insurance is going up?

Danika is a lucky girl

In case you don't know, I am a person that keeps completely random stuff in my "scrapbook." When you read "scrapbook," don't think cute, artsy pages with stickers, ribbons and adorable lettering captioning photographs of fond memories. Think of 3-ring binders stuffed with old letters, notes, concert tickets, and boarding passes. I have an entire binder that is nothing but notes I passed in middle school and high school. Another binder is all mission letters, interspersed with the occassional wrapper from some Italian toilet paper (brand name: soffass) or a chunk of a license plate I found on the ground in Sicily.


So, the other night I was browsing through one of my binders full of letters & notes, laughing my ass off at how witty and clever my friends were (and probably still are), but also realizing what a total jack-ass I have always been (and still am). I'll probably eventually get my Masters degree in Jackassery.


Anyway, I came across this treasure from DHS circa 1993-ish:

Do you guys remember this? The reason I kept this lovely bit of history is unknown, but it probably had something to do with my love for ch-ch-ch-Chia. Let's all just have a moment of silence in respect for the radness of Matt Gunn.

Did anyone read?

Should I post some questions about My Sister's Keeper? Katie was the only one who said she was reading this month--did anyone else?

The Darjeeling Limited

Have you seen the trailer for the new Wes Anderson movie? Really excited for this one.

We were glad to finally Welcome Adan into our lives on Aug. 25 @ 11:59 am. He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. and was 19 in. long. The birth was uneventful as I had hoped, no horror stories to speak of. We sure do enjoy this little guy more than we ever thought possible.
