The husband and I think maybe we ought to move to Singapore because apparently they know how to have fun there. Well…at the airport at least.

At Singapore’s Changi Airport they recently unveiled their latest addition to a menagerie of crazy airport attractions* a 40 feet tall gargantuan twisty slide for adults.

*Other attractions include a rooftop pool, movie theater, and butterfly/carnivorous plant garden.

Double backflip…oh yeah and it’s in a wheelchair…

I am guessing had his mom knew what he was up to BEFORE he tried it she might have stopped the insanity. But more power to you Aaron. Impressive! :-)

This incredibly awesome vintage picture of my parents just surfaced (holding my screaming older brother). How great is that??!! Wow…loving it.

Gerrit picked up Montreal’s Alex Zhang Hungtai (aka Dirty Beaches) single True Blue on a whim…based solely on the vintage picture awesomeness of the album cover….when pre-ordering another record. He just tossed it on the turntable and I’m in instant obsessive love in a way that only I know how to be.

It’s like listening to some ghost from my never-lived past, singing eerie gritty doo-wop into my ear. Yup, I’m digging the dirtier-than-it-ever-was throwback groove. Dirty Beaches indeed.

And the photo from the album cover that brought Alex into my life:

Time lapse-elicious eat it up yumm…

What’s not to like here?

We have time lapse video (awesome), beautiful light and colors (lovely), and a quirky and awesome Indian-ized (yeah I made up the term…it was needed) version of Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire performed by Ramesh Weeratunga (fun).

The video was shot in Tamil Nadu in Indian.

[And see? Like I promised...no more dog videos....for now.]
[Oh and Vimeo what's up with that crappy new iframe embed code? Sheesh..shaking head.]

Pup is top notch pool player…

Seems to be a lot of funny, cute, and crazy dogs gracing my pages this last week or so. Not sure what that’s about. I’ll try to expand my horizons from here on out. (yeah…right…ha.) But for now here’s just one more….a pool playing Chihuahua. I mean how could I resist sharing? :-)

Clothes? We don’t need no stinkin’ clothes…

…cause this is just how we roll here in BMore. Just give us a pair of tennis shoes and it’s all good. Baltimore…”Get in on it.”

Ah despite myself I just gotta love this city sometimes.

PS – No I did not take the pic. But the “incident” did occur across the street from one of our (work) buildings in Mt. Vernon.

When given a choice English Bulls prefer cartoons…

Boxers, of course, are more of the science channel type. But that’s another subject.

I hate it when my back leg tries to steal my stuff…
