Narrot's News

Who knew a refrigerator could bring so much joy! When the compressor on our first refrigerator failed, we had to make the decision to repair or replace. A service call from the local Refrigerator Rob said it would cost more to repair it than it was worth. Figures. Visits to Sears, Home Depot and Best Buy land us a new LG icebox. No, we did not get the one with the television in the door. But we did get a beauty. Get this ... it actually freezes the ice cream. And it's got ice and water in the door! And, and it keeps veggies fresh for more than two days. And, and, AND it came with a humor magazine (sometimes known as the owners manual).

Sometimes I'm so simple-minded it's laughable. Which is why I like this Corral Quartet.

Another entry from "Eye Drops". And one that should not be missed. We have both DVDs and share them with anyone who will sit down to watch. People like them for different reasons. My nephews think the robots are "totally cool". Some appreciate the work behind the scenes. Some like the music. I like the whole package. Buy a copy or two or three. "Pipe Dream" is probably their most famous animation.

Mentos Fountain
Yes, it works! We had reasonable success with our experiment during our visit to NC.

It's the only reason you should buy Mentos...

Someday, one day, my friend Jack will make me a wind chime out of old Dr Pepper bottles. I have to stay his friend until I get them. Maybe he will never make them, and that would be okay, too.

Every once in a while someone sends me a link worth keeping. This one comes in handy whenever I need a good laugh. I would love to try it, but my cats have enough issues as it is.

Back when G4 TV was TechTV and a real network, they had a show called "Eye Drops". It featured animated shorts and highlighted the latest advances in the animation industry. My senior technical research paper was on fractals and computer animation. Before Steve and Ellen became a couple, Steve helped Ellen with her paper by sharing a VHS of some animation. When shown during the oral review, it thankfully took up valuable presentation time. In some former version of myself, I considered going to graduate school to study computer animation. Thank goodness that never happened. Now I just enjoy the animation.

Here's one that made me laugh... The Battle Concerto for Two Ninjas
