Seriously Yelling Bird, you can't get rid of him. It's impossible.
This week is going to be a bit of a potpourri as far as comics go- I might do some regular QCs, I might just do whatever I feel like as a sort of end-of-year gift to myself (and hopefully you?). We shall see!"

The night sky — Lake Tekapo, New Zealand

The night sky — Lake Tekapo, New Zealand: "
Lake Tekapo, New Zealand


Where I stayed

The Chalet Lake Tekapo


I have never seen such blue lakes in my life. After a great pit-stop at Poppies Café in the charmingly named town of Twizel we drove past Lake Pukaki and then arrived at our destination Lake Tekapo in the late afternoon. The blue colour of both lakes was simply gorgeous and was due to the rock flour suspended in the water which causes the light to be refracted in such a way that you get this simply stunning milky blue colour.

We only had one night in Lake Tekapo so I decided to take advantage of the fact that it has several observatories on the top of Mt. John and join a sky watch tour. This started at midnight and it was so cold they gave us old down jackets used by scientists in the Antarctic which was pretty cool but did their job of keeping us warmish in the windy conditions, apparently each jacket costs $1000 new. I wanted to see the Milky Way in the southern hemisphere along with some southern sky constellations, but I was a bit disappointed on both counts. The tour guides were pretty good, but not astronomers. They took us into a pit and used a laser pointer to show the Southern Cross and then Orion, Taurus and The Pleides. These last three are constellations that I know very well from the Northern hemisphere so I was enjoying seeing them upside down but didn't really learn anything new. They had some good telescopes, although only one had a go-to device so every so often they had to reposition the telescopes. I saw 'The Jewel Box’, ‘The Diamond cluster’ a globular cluster, Orion’s nebula (just) and the moon through the telescopes and it was nice to have someone else do the work of finding the objects. It being a full moon though meant that the sky wasn’t very dark so I didn’t get to see the Milky Way. It was also too windy to go to the top of Mt. John so we had to settle for a site at a much lower altitude, but the following day we drove to the top of Mt. John for some more stunning views."

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig Take Their Romance Public With a PDA-Filled Stroll in Snowy England!

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig only had eyes for each other Friday as they went for a walk in Somerset, England. Their stroll together confirmed rumors about their budding romance, which surfaced shortly after Rachel announced her Summer separation from long-term partner Darren Aronofsky. Daniel, meanwhile, broke off his engagement from fiancée Satsuki Mitchell. He and Rachel first became close while shooting 2004's Enduring Love, and reconnected earlier this year on the set of Dream House. Their mutual project is just one of many for the busy duo, as Rachel's also been occupied shooting The Deep Blue Sea and Daniel has Cowboys & Aliens on the way in addition to his remake of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

It's cookie time! Garrett has baked up some cinnamon cookies for us that are delightfully crispy. Enjoy! ~Elise
Back home in Southern California my family usually spends Christmas time around the fireplace with a large fire roaring. My brothers and I take turns bringing in more wood for the fire and my dad, who knows how to judge a fire, knows when to poke the logs to get a good blaze going. Then we all relax with a book and just enjoy the quiet of each other's company or simply watch the glowing embers and talk.

Astonishing Paper Sculptures from Jeff Nishinaka

Astonishing Paper Sculptures from Jeff Nishinaka: "

Los Angeles-based artist Jeff Nishinaka is a paper sculptor born in Los Angeles. He has gained international recognition in the past fifteen years through his unique representational art forms in 3-Dimension for both the fine and commercial arts. “Paper to me is a living breathing thing that has a life of its own. I just try to redirect that energy into something that feels animated and alive” said Nishinaka. Look at the vivid sculptures, don’t they really have lives now?
