Danish Homes & Dubai Women

Danish homes are futuristic but also a little wacky. Kids' rooms don't have doors! The beds don't look very comfortable. Would you like to take a shower in a bathroom with only a glass door? I wouldn't! There aren't many decorations or unneccesary furnishings. This particular home was very white. It was characterized by the neatness and organization.

The women in Dubai have maids. The homes are big and the layout is very open. This particular woman's mother-in-law sends her 3 meals a day. They have chefs, helpers, and drivers. All the families are very connected and live close. Basically, many people in Dubai live in what we in America would consider mini mansions.

TMNT

Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello - classically the best...ninja turtles! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were introduced in a 3 issue mini series in 1988. After it was widely accepted, a regular series was launched. Soon many mutants and other characters were created.
The 4 main turtles had characteristics like a typical teenager. They were always willing to help in a mischevious, funny way. If there was an adventure to be experienced, they were your turtles for the job! The story lines were deep, although sometimes cheesy (like Caleb..he just hissed). Sometimes the theme seemed more like preaching than informing of the ecological idea based around the comic.
Unfortunately, in 1995 after 7 years of running, the series started slowing down. This just emphasizes how huge this series became, because in the late 1990s, the TMNT still seemed very popular. Do you remember the theme song? I don't. But really people, reflect for a moment. Think about it. Is it starting to drift back into your memory...
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

Media Crossing Line

The balloon hoax was so stupid. One has to know from the very first minute of hearing of the "Balloon Boy" that it is not true. The only people who legitimately believed it was true were those who wanted to believe it. People who have no lives and no goals and love to just sit around and believe that a boy was floating through the atmosphere in a balloon.

Swine Flu - way to make everyone freak out. Overrated, exaggerrated, and stupid. The news overplayed this flu by making it seem like the bubonic plague.

D.O.I.

1. life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, common good, justice, equality, diversity, truth, popular sovereignty, patriotism

2. The government must abide by these rights or else! The people must keep their rights by holding the government responsible and standing their own if their rights are violated.

3. The value of liberty protects our right of freedom of the press.

4. The value of liberty expresses our right to a free flow of information and ideas.

5. They have the responsibility to put out truthful press because of the value put on truth in the D.O.I.

Barnes & Noble

First of all, may I say, Barnes and Noble smells really good. I absolutely love the smell of new books. Crisp paper mixed with fresh brewed coffee aroma equals mmmm. Anyways, I got my picture. The staff there didn't kill me, because they didn't see. Hehe.

The store is divided up into many sections. The gifts, calendars, journals, etc are to the left when you first walk in. You'll find the magazines to the right. The music section is in the back right, and the DVD section is in the back left. Audiobooks can be found to the middle right. All books are in between those perimeters.

You can read, buy books, sample music and DVDs, sip Starbucks, or people watch at Barnes and Noble. Donkey Kong Jenga, Killer Bunnies, Life: Wizard of Oz edition, and Star Trek Monopoly are just a few games you can find there. The children's area is, well, childlike. It has a scene from Winnie the Pooh and a shelf dedicated to Dr. Seuss.

The Music and DVD section has two flatscreen TVs with featured titles. All around are headphones and stations where you can sample music or get info on DVDs. The cafe is quite nice. There are plenty of chairs and tables for everyone. The magazine section is highly organized. There are a few chairs to look at them if you wish.

The discount card program gives you 40% off hardcover bestseller, 20% off all adult hardcovers, and 10% on bargain books, music, DVD, cafe purchases and already discounted items. Seems like a good deal to me.

You see a wide range of people there. From nerdy, tree huggers to tough LSU dads whose wife dragged them there. Many are sitting in the cafe, chatting it up or reading some good literature. I like Barnes and Noble. Like I said, it smells good, but I don't go there on a regular basis because it's so far away.
