You Are Flexible |
 You crave human connection. You're ready to deepen your existing relationships and develop new ones. You are working on following your gut. Your intuition is usually right, and you know you should listen to it more. Your past has motivated you to work as hard as you can right now. You are staying focused. The key to improving your life right now is taking risks. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. |

You Are Somewhat Self Actualized |
 Your awareness is medium. You pay close attention, but you sometimes miss certain details. Your honesty is medium. You're somewhat open, but there are a few secrets you keep to yourself. Your freedom is medium. You need a creative outlet occasionally, but you don't always need to be original. Your trust is medium. You can trust others, but it takes a while for that trust to be earned. |

Stuff
My dear friend Priscilla Sister Wolf has a new website, check it out if you have time. I am sure there will be more to come in the future.
Lastly, this forum has a whole Giorgio Tsoukalos meme going on and it is hilarious! Don't worry about Giorgio being upset by it, he is how I found out about it. It is one of the very cool things about Giorgio, he can take a joke and doesn't get all bent out of shape like many (or most) people in UFOlogy. That is why he is mega awesome rather than just plain awesome! And yes, that is my own Giorgio meme graphic at the top of this post.

2010: A Big Year for UFOs
Once again, the 1957 Holloman photo is shown and reported as being from a 1964 incident. Impossible, as my post here shows.

You Are Brilliant |
 You are a complex thinker, and you're good at creating elaborate theories and projects. You tend to have a lot of technical knowledge. You love to learn how to do things. You are innovative and competent. You can often see where others have gone wrong. You are also a bit of a skeptic. You aren't going to believe anything until you've investigated it yourself. |
Thanks Blogthings!

The Odor of the Owl
The Orange Orb: The Odor of the Owl
This is creepy to me for so many reasons. You all know I hate clowns, but I don't really care for mascots in costumes of any kind.
Then there is the Victorian version of Man in Black clothing. Oh, they try to lighten it up a bit with the Burberry scarf, but it is still very MIBish.
And why of all things would they choose an owl to advertise perfume? We all know the owl is the most esoteric creature around, associated with alien abduction, bad omens, Bohemian Grove and so much more.
Googling the subject, the owl seems to be a very bad choice for a perfume mascot:
Owls generally have a limited sense of smell, but their existence depends upon their hearing
and their site. Their sense of smell can be illustrated by the fact that Great Horned Owls
(Bubo v.) enjoy wallowing in the perfume of skunks. Every GHO I have encountered smelled like skunk. They have been observed rubbing themselves in the skunks carcasses and their behavior has been described as appearing that the owl was enjoying the experience. Anthropomorphized? Possibly.
OK, possibly a good choice if the perfume you are selling smells like a skunk. :-D

You Are Peaceful |
 You love the holidays, and you don't get too hung up on how they should or shouldn't be. You go with the flow, and you try to appreciate every nice little thing that happens. You are open to new holiday experiences. You like traditions, but they certainly aren't set in stone. Unlike most people, you rarely feel lonely during the holidays. You can always stay occupied with something! |

Merry Christmas!
Wishing everyone a great holiday, no matter what you are celebrating!
To those of you that sent me cards - thanks so much! You are obviously way more organized than I am because I never got around to it, but know that I love you!

Sort of on vacation
We have decided to stay home for Christmas this year. It was an easy decision because we were going to go to Durango. There is a huge storm hitting there and if I heard the weather channel right, there was 38 inches of snow in Silverton over the past 24 hours. Silverton is quite a bit higher than Durango, but that is still not a good sign, especially given my understanding that the worst part of the storm hasn't even hit yet.
That said, I still think I will take a short vacation from the bloggie here. Oh, if I come across something that seems interesting I will post it, but otherwise I will be on a blog vacation. Things will return to normal next Monday.

You Are Happy New Year |
 You aren't really that big on the holidays, but they do mark a milestone each year. You're a big fan of "out with the old and in with the new." You look forward to a fresh start. You anticipate the clock rolling over to 12:01 and the new year beginning. You try to create your own beginning along with it. And even if you're not sure if any of your resolutions will stick, you're happy to wish everyone "Happy New Year!" |

Happy Solstice!
I had thought that I would be able to view the eclipse, but sadly thick clouds prevented that. :-( I did watch the live feed for a while, but it just wasn't that same.
Happy Winter Solstice to all!

You Are an iPad |
 You love to read, but sometimes reading is just not interactive enough for you. You are very curious about the world. You've got to be able to surf the web, play games, and chat with your friends. You need a device that can do everything! You tend to be an early adopter of new technologies, especially gadgets that are slick and well designed. You don't mind spending a little extra to buy a device that you'll love - and that will be the envy of your friends! |

You Are a Paperback Book |
 You are an avid reader, and you probably buy a lot of books. And nothing beats an inexpensive paperback you can carry around. You read whatever you feel like reading. You aren't a snob, and you aren't ashamed of your tastes. You always have a stack of books to get through, and it seems to be constantly multiplying. You don't mind waiting for a book you want to come out in paperback. You have plenty to read in the meantime! |

Just a little quote
Jonathan Carroll just posted this, a quote by another of my favorite authors and one of my favorite quotes from him:
We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they're good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort.

You Are Three French Hens |
 For you, the holidays are a time to take care of those you're close to. You love that it's the season of giving. You are generous all times of the year, but you definitely step it up during the holidays. Your holiday wish is for everyone to have a safe and happy holiday. It breaks your heart to think of anyone in pain during this time. You wish that you could take care of everyone in the world, but at least you're able to look after everyone you love! |
Rare Cosmic Event to Transpire Tuesday Morning
I am very much looking forward to this!

I am not convinced that is a baboon. One man's baboon is another man's space brother. :-D

You Are Snowshoeing |
 You like your thrills as much as the next person, but your thrills tend to be more mental than physical. You find thinking and playing with ideas to be exciting enough. And you don't have to risk injury to do it. You aren't afraid of hard work. In fact, you know that doing your absolute best has its rewards. You take good care of yourself and those you love. You value your health and stability. |
