Absurd and Askew

You know how a brand new blog looks so empty and all? Since I just started this one yesterday, I'm currently just trying to fill in some blank space with stuff I come across while web surfing today. Bear with me while I make it look not quite so empty. :)

I stole the title of this post from one of the comments about this pup on the Daily Puppy, but I have to agree. His name is Otis and he's a Great Dane. I've always wanted a Great Dane, but I won't purchase one from a breeder or pet store and they're hard to come by in shelters. I had to post these pictures of him, though... he is about as precious as it gets!

I just came across this hotel, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, in my web surfing (always the way I find interesting things). It's considered the world's finest hotel, and 7-star rated. Found in Dubai, on the Arabian Peninsula, it was designed to look like the sail of a sailboat. The night picture of it is stunning. Follow this link for some interior pictures (this is the page where I originally came across this hotel).

This morning on NBC's Today Show, one of the reporters did an excellent job of explaining how the current economic crisis and not passing the $700 billion bail-out affects everyday Americans. To this point, I have not seen this explained (even the White House didn't bother to explain what effect not bailing out Wall Street would have on average Americans). This is a great piece... to the point and finally explaining to Main Street why it's important to us to get some bail-out package passed. Check it out...

Puppy bellies! Everything is all right with the world when you're in the presence of puppy bellies.



Pumpkin pie milkshakes! And yes, they taste just like pumpkin pie. Genius!
