Everyone here is sick and it’s been a heck of a day. Go figure how a little bitty chihuahua can break thick glass on a coffee table rendering it a piece of crap is beyond me. At least no one was hurt, and Wanwan didn’t lose a leg.
So after napping for several hours on the couch, I’m playing around with textures from Totally Rad, simply because I don’t feel like doing anything else. So check this out…
Original frame straight from the camera:
Totally Rad filters that make the subject look like he’s in an Abercrombie & Fitch ad except he’s wearing clothes and you can’t see his bare chest:
I like plain ole’ photos best most of the time; however, when I take a photo that I’m not crazy about and transform it with some photo bling and it totally changes the ‘feel’, I’m pretty happy (but still feel sick).

I read an article in the local Tribune today about a couple who had a crook come to their wedding reception just to rip them off. I can’t remember a reception that I’ve ever attended where there wasn’t a special spot for you to put envelopes filled with money or gift cards, and this event was no exception. An estimated $5k in loot was carried out of the American Legion in Seymour, Indiana, in a wire bird cage by an uninvited guest.
The police have a description! A skinny white male wearing a dark t-shirt and a ball cap.
Waaaah? You have enough people gathered to estimate $5k in gift cash and cards and that’s the best description anyone could provide? No matter how much I had to drink, I think that I would notice a skinny dude in a hat lurking around a bird cage — like how many dudes wear ball caps to a wedding reception? And what color was the hat? Did it have the Ohio State logo on it? Did anyone notice?
Are thieves getting braver? I seriously wonder how desperate you have to be to parade around in front of a bunch of people, and then leave with their loot in a bird cage.

A best friend is a sister destiny forgot to give you.
Gracie: Libby, you’re my bestest friend on the planet.
Libby: Don’t be touchin’ me. You have cooties. I’m sure of it.

If you know me, then you know that I’m a huge football fan, both college and pro.
Growing up in Cincinnati, I split my devotion between the University of Cincinnati and The Ohio State University, with Ohio State holding a majority. I love their tradition and history and faithfully stuck with them through good times and bad. However, something sent to me recently has changed my mind. Something so sinister that every fan should stop and consider their loyalty to the Buckeyes.
This is what I received:
Looks like UC is going to get my complete loyalty from now on – hey, at least they’re undefeated right?

So you know how Google changes up its logo on holidays, world, historical and other key events? Like on Christmas they make the name look like gifts or ornaments, and on Easter the O’s are colored eggs? Have you been watching the recent Google mystery logo doodle changes?
So I search on Google to see what holiday this is supposed to represent. Tomorrow, September 22nd is Elephant Appreciation Day. Today, September 21st is Miniature Golf Day. The Bloggress (one of the BLOGS I frequent — and you should too) said the logo, “looks exactly like what I threw up this weekend. Is it International Vomit Day?”
I thought maybe Google knew the burg was about to get invaded by aliens! But no! The mystery was revealed to be a big ole’ happy birthday to H.G. Wells, the famous science fiction author who would’ve been 143 today.
