I wonder what will happen when they get older? Will they tear each other to pieces? Hope not!

Anyway,this appeals to the 5th grade girl in me! Loves it!

I have been lucky enough to go to a "bird nerd" lecture with Dr. Irene Pepperberg, who has done amazing studies with African Grey Parrots.

She has done a 30- year plus study with the parrots. She tried to teach them to distinguish between different sorts of matter, different colors and shapes. Alex could say the answer to her questions most of the time...it was pretty cool.

Check it out if you are interested. Click away: http://www.alexfoundation.org/

If you are interested let me know and I'll post video.

It is pretty amazing but I don't want to bore the non-animal people.

Thanks for breaking the news to me, Getflix

Latest News & Gossip - AP

Welcome, Suri...so suri your parents couldn't come up with a better name!

Cruise, Holmes Have Baby Girl Named Suri
Tue Apr 18, 6:51 PM ET

The Tomkitten has arrived. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the high-profile pair dubbed TomKat by the media, had a baby girl Tuesday, said Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson. The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," Robinson said in a prepared statement.

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said.

The baby was born in Los Angeles but the exact location was not disclosed.

It's the first child for Holmes, 27. Cruise, 43, has an adopted daughter and son from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren't disclosed.

Outside the Beverly Hills home where Cruise and Holmes live, about a dozen reporters and photographers stood by. Security officers inside the compound videotaped the journalists.

A security guard at the gate which was shrouded in black to prevent anyone from seeing in refused to release any information. A few cars did arrive and were allowed into the estate. A police motorcycle officer stopped by around 4 p.m. and sat watching the goings-on.

The patrolman, who identified himself as Officer Chase, said he was just making a routine check, since activity around the area had been heightened for some time. He asked if the baby had been born, was told yes, and drove off.

It was just about a year ago that Cruise's romance with Holmes became a world sensation.

Cruise hopped up and down on a couch during an interview with Oprah Winfrey as he professed his love.

"I can't be cool. I can't be laid-back," Cruise declared at the time. "Something happened and I want to celebrate it."

The antics were widely mocked but Cruise was unfazed and continued to avow his affection for Holmes.

He and Holmes, a star of TV's "Dawson's Creek," had been first photographed together in Rome in April 2005.

She had previously been engaged to actor Chris Klein; Cruise had been married to Mimi Rogers as well as Kidman, and had dated Penelope Cruz for several years.

In June, Cruise announced to a Paris press conference that he had proposed to Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower.

"Today is a magnificent day for me, I'm engaged to a magnificent woman," he said.

No wedding date has been disclosed.

This is Cherie Currie from the Runaways (anyone old enough to remember them? If not, Joan Jett and Lita Ford came out of that group)

She is now a chainsaw artist (whatever the F*ck that is) and is speaking at my husband's woodworking club this month.
This makes me laugh, all these old guys and then, this rocker chick coming to carve with chainsaws.

Well, maybe I should attend this meeting...she is still pretty hot!

Canada Goose

They are so sweet and I love the way that they fly in V formation.
The reason that they do this is to cut the wind resistance. They switch off the lead so that everyone has it hard for awhile and then get to take it easy for a bit. They migrate very long distances.
Very democratic, no?

I Heart Infomercials

2006-03-22T15:52:00.000-08:00

Infomercials are so odd.
I mean who watches a 30 minute commercial for crap you never knew you needed.
But sometimes you get sucked in and can't look away. At least I do.
Have you ever bought anything off of one?
I am embarrassed to say that I have!
The SpinSpa! It seemed like a cool skin exfoliator!
But it was cheaply made and ended up being a money-taker :(

I especially like to watch the Magic Bullit chopper, the spacebag, the Gazelle (strictly for laughs), and the Bare Essentials makeup.

Damn, I have no life!

Ambien Makes You Act the Fool

2006-03-18T01:38:00.000-08:00

Ambien May Prompt Sleep-Eating

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, March 15, 2006
(CBS/The Early Show)

Quote:

"I would wake up in the morning and there would be candy wrappers all around the bed. There would be crumbs in the bed. There would be all kinds of evidence that someone had been eating in the bed. But I had absolutely no recollection of it."
Brenda Pobre, who says Ambien caused her to eat while sleeping. She says she gain more than 100 pounds as a result.

(CBS) Some people don't just walk in their sleep, they eat as well.

As sleep disorders go, it's one of the more bizarre, observes CBS News Correspondent John Blackstone.

He says Dr. Mark Mahowald and other sleep researchers have discovered that nocturnal eating may be a side effect of the popular sleep medication, Ambien.

That comes on the heels of reports that some Ambien users may drive while sleeping.

Mahowald, who's medical director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center in Minneapolis, tells Blackstone, "We've had people eat very inappropriate things that they would never eat while awake. Some example would be buttered cigarettes, salt sandwiches, raw bacon."

And sleep-binging could leave its mark – on waistlines.

"I put on over 100 pounds since I've been on Ambien," says Brenda Pobre, who couldn't figure out why she was gaining so much weight.

Mahowald points out that, "Sleep and wakefulness can occur simultaneously. Everybody thinks the brain is either all awake or all asleep, and that's not true. The brain can be literally half awake and half asleep."

Ambien's maker issued a statement saying the side effect is known but rare, and that "when taken as prescribed, Ambien is a safe and effective treatment for insomnia." The side effect is disclosed in the product's labeling material.

This guy is sleep eating

I heard on the radio that one man caught his wife mowing the lawn at one am

Sleep driving scares me!

The culprit!

And one lady said she had the best sex with her husband while he was whacked on Ambien and he didn't even remember.

All this makes me laugh so hard,I don't know why! It is unreal.
It is freaky.
And I will never take Ambien..I know I will be the dork driving down the 405 , smoking a cig(I quit 8 years ago), eating a Double Cheeseburger with some guy on my lap! Oh and then I'll go home and mow the lawn! And I will sleep through the whole thing and not remember. HA!

Ambien lawyers:this is just a joke :)

I usually use a mac and use Safari as a browser and I like the look of the birdblog with all the sidebar stuff on the right side.

But when I view it on the Mac with Explorer it is all vertical with all the "sidebar" stuff at the bottom.I hate that.
How do you see it?

Sorry to bug y'all!

Muchas Gracias.

Who Remembers This?

2006-03-08T23:34:00.000-08:00

While taking my birdbath I kept singing " I'm Just a Bill" and "3 is the Magic Number"!

He dives in the water and gets fish. This type lives in my area. (West Coast)

Some Movies I Like

2006-02-20T23:59:00.000-08:00

Garden State= cute and funny

The Ice Storm= Fascinating. I have seen this a bunch of times.

Slacker (not Slackers)=This very unique and creative

The Usual Suspects= great suspense

Napoleon=Cult Hilarity...who doesn't love this movie?

Ghostworld = Very nice indie (and a young Scarlet Johanson who doesn't hold a candle to Thora Birch)

>

Requiem for a Dream = intense, very raw, painful study of different addictions

Fargo=Very good acting and cool plot (no pun intended)

They may not be everyone's cup of tea but I liked 'em
Input?

Ah Detective Stabler

He's so very nice!

Oh, and mindbendingly hot.
There is so something about him that I love.

Yes I'm married, I know.
So is he. I know.

Not Really!
But it feels like my house is amost in this shape.
We are remodeling a lot and doing it ourselves. Right now the entire kitchen is gone!
It's strange having a fridge in the dining room and bags of grout in the hallway.
I keep losing everything.
Glad I worked so hard this weekend. NOT!

I love Vitamin Water!

The green tea and dragonfruit are delicious!

They are all pretty tasty.

Who Should Paint You: Roy Lichtenstein

Larger than life, your personality overshadows everyone in the room
A painter would tend to portray you with a bit of added flair!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

I don't have a BIG personality.

Maybe a little flair :)

You Are an Old Soul

You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.

You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

This is soooooooo me.
My husband got: "Dreaming Soul"

I can't believe Wayne Gretzky's wife is a gamble-o-holic.

I loved Wayne when he was one of my LA Kings.
Work out the problems,kids.
Hope she didn't bet on the Canadian Olympic Hockey team winning gold!

Elephant Seals

2006-02-18T21:30:00.000-08:00

These are some Elephant Seals I photographed last winter.
They breed up by San Simeon (you know, near Hearst Castle).
I go see them annually.
It's awesome...They fight and yell and the babies are cute little blobs.

The mature males can kick your butt though.

Cute n Deadly Bird

This bird is called a shrike.
It is a small songbird who impales and eats rodents and other birds.
I love nature!
