I am in love with this little guy.  Go see John Carter and find out why.  I will call him Bruno.

It will also make you love Lake Powell just a little bit more.  Its a little bit of Shrek I, and III meets Princess Bride meets Jar Jar Binks.  But when you think that Edgar Rice Burrows is the father of  Sci Fi  --  and that this was penned 100 years ago  -- it is truly the beginning.  Sadly, attendance needs to pick up since it was #2 at the box office for opening weekend.  

"A Princess of Mars" was originally published as "Under the Moons of Mars" by Norman Bean (Edgar Rice Burroughs' pseudonym) in The All-Story (six pulp magazine issues February - July, 1912). Burroughs was originally afraid that he might be ridiculed for writing such a tale, so he decided to use a pen name. The pseudonym was supposed to be a pun "Normal Bean" (as in "I'm a normal being") to reassure people, but the man who typeset the text thought it was a mistake, so he changed it to "Norman". However, Burroughs' fears turned out to be unfounded: the story and its sequels, collectively known as the "Barsoom series", were almost as popular (and arguably more influential) as those of his most famous creation, Tarzan. - sourced from IMDB.com  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401729/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr0738847

Porcelain Unicorn

British film director Sir Ridley Scott launched a global film making contest for aspiring directors. It's titled "Tell It Your Way."

There were over 600 entries.

The film could be no longer than three minutes, contain only 6 lines of narrative & be a compelling story.

The winner was "Porcelain Unicorn" from American director Keegan Wilcox.

It's a story of the lifetimes of two people who are totally opposite… yet, very much the same - all told in less than 3 minutes.

You'll see why it won

November to February

Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom, Orlando


 We past by Cape Canaveral

  On the deck of the Carnival Miracle

We went from the #2 beach in the country - Coronado Island in San Diego on the West Coast to the one of the prettiest beaches I have ever been to- #1 on the country Siesta Key on the gulf side of Florida and then to Cable Beach in the Bahamas.
Siesta Key (thank you Dr. Paxton for the idea!)It was amazing to be sitting on sand the texture of baby powder and watch dolphins frolic in the surf.
Before snorkeling and then  trying Conch Salad at Cable Beach near Nassau, Bahamas

(check out Rod's sunburn from Siesta Beach day)

 

And finally..... 
  
(I have never even tried on $475 shoes let alone >$1000 shoes.  Too bad.  There was no room in my suitcase.  It was full of Honey Mustard and Mr Potato Head pieces)

TEA CUPS!!

November feels like forever ago.  But I do feel truly blessed that I can have so many amazing experiences in my life over such a few short weeks.         

Happy Birthday to me & Julene -- Breaking Dawn Week

Julene received an invitation to the LA Premiere of Breaking Dawn AND the After Party.  Since it was both our birthdays we decided to treat ourselves.  It was a blast!!  Unfortunately I wasn't getting great shots with my phone.  But you might recognize a few of the stars....
