Squinkies with Hair!
OK, Kids, make you're I-REALLY-REALLY-LOVE-MY-NEW-SQUINKIES-FACE to thank your Auntie Carriane:
Hmmm...well maybe you should just make your I-KINDA-LOVE-THESE-NEW-SQUINKIES face:
Netflix Movies Worth Watching
Jodhaa Akbar [Bollywood]:
Castaway on the Moon [Korean]:
Inside Man:
Dear Zachary:
This is the best and worst documentary I have ever seen because I still can't really say that I can forget it, and I am not quite sure I would have ever watched it had I seen it before. Yet, it is very worth watching.

Mommy Did Something Quite Questionable
Firstly, I once, and only once, played Laser Tag at an arcade at a time in my life when everything was falling apart around me and I found so much healing enjoyment in it, that there is, and probably always will be, a fond place in my heart for running around and "shooting" things with extremely non-lethal extreme weaponry.
Secondly, my youngest has a fond place in her heart for Iron Man.
Thirdly, my oldest is getting of an age where her friends are always in the mood for a good game of chase.
Fourth and finally Fifth, my godmother gave me my very own money for Xmas (I really don't know why she's so nice to me), and Amazon had these Iron Man 2 Water Blasters on clearance only slightly more expensive than I was willing to pay for plain ole' water pistols, AND with free shipping.
So, taking these idea threads into account, I did a very bad thing and bought a few of these very evil violent WATER BLASTERS for my peace-loving kids for their summer birthday parties. I can't wait to hand these out and watch the mayhem.
Here's somebody's Youtube demo videos of what they look like when these dual-nozzle pump-action (no batteries, yay!) bad boys shoot.

Random Discovery
Randy discovered that Emelina won first prize for an art contest while reading the local newspaper this morning: --
The paper has a really bad copy. And we were quite thrown by her winning because we really didn't think this was one of her best kind of drawings. We think there will be an award ceremony for the school district so that she can receive a commendation, but as of now we haven't heard anything. You would think at the very least, the newspaper would have spelled her name right.
