I love it the church looks surreal, anyone know where it is? via >
Do you know which other Prime Minister has a daughter who dresses weird?
There’s been some controversy over this photo of Spanish Prime Minister’s goth daughters on a political trip to the USA via gawker >
Kinda similar to someone else who else took their fashionably awkward daughter on a political trip to the USA recently….

I saw this ad in Hawaii, it was weird seeing ads on television as I watch all my news, tv series, movies and also advertising on computers these days. Unfortunately most of the ads which I saw in Hawaii were for constipation medication. This medical ad however caught my attention.
It’s easy for me to have very strong opinions about the medicare reform bill, when I have an interest in American politics and come from a country which is small enough to cover its citizens pretty well.
This ad tells it how it is; people with too much money and power are stopping every day people getting the medical attention they need. Americans with statuses about not wanting to pay for other people health insurance drive me crazy! Don’t they realise that they are the lower to middle class citizens that this bill will help? I don’t know all the answers to health insurance, but I do know that if you believe everything the insurance companies are saying, you should also watch Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko’… and then go out and find some real facts.
Looser of two evils
Two ads, only blocks away from each other in LA. Guess which one was taken down?

The second most awesome (this was the first >) part of our trip to Hawaii was going to Baskin & Robins, the icecream shop where President Obama used to work.
It was hard to imagine the grumpy lady working there that night would ever be the leader of the free world, but it made me a bit giddy to think if I had been a few years earlier Obama would have been standing behind that counter. Politics aside, I love that someone from such a rich history is in the Oval Office.

Today I met this weird creature, half bottle nose dolphin + half false killer whale aptly named a “wholphin”. I honestly didn’t know what to think when I saw it… how does something like this come into being?
Most hybrid animals are sterile but this girl gave birth to three pups, the latest of which is the only one to have survived. I got to jump in a pool and play with her, even ride on her tummy around the pool (holding onto her flippers). James wanted to do that as well but she wouldn’t pick him up until she got a kiss from me. It was pretty awesome. She chuckled heaps in a weird deeper than usual dolphin voice when James tried to give her a kiss. Apparently she’s a bit shy around boys.
