Turkey Day

Favorite quote of the day: "Let's celebrate mass genocide and land theft by stuffing ourselves into a food coma". Oh yeah!

It's time to say goodbye to the beloved Twinkies

Dear Twinkies,

I know that Americans love you and, in the event of a nuclear holocaust, you and cockroaches would be the only thing left on earth. I even confess that there was a time when I felt a morbid curiosity and wanted to eat you. But after having tasted your "golden sponge cake with creamy filling" I must say... You will not be missed.

Sincerely,
An European


Europeans reaction to twinkies:


Baby Ostriches at the Museum

Posing for the picture, under some weird light that makes my camera take striped pictures. At the Academy of Sciences, where else?

Bonfire Rally

Roasting the duck at the Greek Theatre. With cheerleaders, band geeks and Oski the Bear.

GO BEARS!




Manifestação Lisboa 14 de Novembro de 2012



Isto está a ficar bonito... Eis algumas das reportagens e imagens em directo que passaram na TV e um excerto do programa "Opinião Pública" da SIC Notícias (os argumentos dados por alguns dos ouvintes, nomeadamente o segundo, são válidos, lógicos e muito interessantes):

The Wine Country

Napa Valley




The Petrified Forest




Calistoga


Old Faithful Geyser of California


Charcuterie for two

Napa sparkling wine, salumi, cheese, grapes, caramelized almonds and chocolates on a suite's jacuzzi tub. Because six years putting up with me is just an as good excuse to celebrate as any other.

New Hobby: drawing class

A paper bag, a bottle, two spheres, a cube, two prisms and a cone: pick 3-4 of these objects, begin by drawing its positive and negative space and then fill in the objects in order to create volume.


And from left to right... Can you guess which one is mine?
