"So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always imagined it something more"
Happiness by the Kiilowatt by Alexisonfire
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, with the lake glistening in its light. A single duck with bright yellow eyes floats in the middle of the lake. Its webbed feet are softly paddling against the water, creating small ripples that spread out around it. The air is still and peaceful, and the sound of the ducks gentle paddling is the only thing that breaks the silence. The afternoon sun casts a beautiful golden hue over the lake.

Yesterday in the park :-).
One of many ladybird pictures, now I've enough for the next five years ;-)!
I'm not sure with the ID of the plant it doesn't look like lavender, possibly sage?

Cala Mitjana beach, Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
These boys were from the nearby villages. They were clearly used to jump and pose in mid-air. These is a sheltered cove in the beautiful island of Menorca with crystal clear waters and white sand.
Watch Cala Mitjana (Catalan meaning 'Middle Size Cove') in Google Earth. In the satellite picture, they are jumping from that projecting rock on the right hand.

Wake up, sleepyhead,
I think the sun's a little brighter today,
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away,
and see the waters rising,
Summer's here to stay and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever,
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, and dive the empty ocean ...
- DMB, Dive In
I'm working late tonight, so I let myself sleep in today. It was nice. In the morning and early afternoon, the sun shines in these windows, and it's just lovely.
It's not the most luxurious place in the world, but I do love our little duplex. So cozy, yet so many windows. Just feels like home.
Have a nice Wednesday, everyone! :)
Caramel Grunge texture by Pareeerica. My favorite texture ever. :)
Shot this from the dock two days ago. Looks like Spring is here to stay! And yes, I gave it the artsy look; it seemed appropriate with all the different shades of colors.

Randy's Donuts was built in 1953 as part of the Big Donut Drive-In chain. It was sold in 1976 to Robert Eskow who named it Randy's Donuts after his son. In 1978 brothers Ron and Larry Weintraub bought it and are the current owners.
I see this place almost every day from the 405. Chances are you have seen it in a movie or TV show, as it has appeared in many over the years. I have never seen it without a line of customers waiting.
The giant donut sign/sculpture is constructed with a steel rebar frame and covered with Gunnite, a spray on concrete often used for the sides of swimming pools.

What are you drinking during the game today?
If you are planning on watching the game, you will be one of more than 1 billion people world-wide that tune in. Today more than 140 million Americans are likely to leaver their homes to watch the game. That is more than 35 million MORE people than New Year's Eve.
Super Bowl Sunday is the 8th largest day for sales of beer in the United States. 49.3 million cases of brew are expected to be sold today. In case you are wondering, the 4th of July is the #1 day for beer sales in the USA.
Pizza Hut sold roughly 2 million pizzas during last year's Super Bowl. Papa Johns said they sold 1 million pies. Domino’s will about another 1 million as well. An estimated 1.25 billion wings will be consumed over the weekend. I don't know what a "normal" amount is for one weekend - but a billion is a lot!
If you're a gambling person - the line opened with New England favored by 3.5 in Las Vegas. On Monday, it fell to -3 and is -2.5 just before kick off. An estimated $10 billion dollars will be wagered on the Super Bowl this year. According to MGM - this is the most wagered event in Super Bowl history.
This little bit of advertising for Corona came to them for free - it was just something I played with last night for fun. If you wanted to really do some "real" advertising during the TV broadcast of the Super Bowl, a 30-second commercial would cost you $3.5 million (up $400,000 from last year (according to Superbowl-ads.com).

Special thanks to Clint Decker and his video showing the basics. I didn't follow it exactly, but it got me going. He's got an awesome flickr stream - check it out here: flickr
Lady diver preparing to enter the water at the 2007 Earth Day Cleanup Dive at Del Monte Beach in Monterey, CA.
Frazzled? No energy? No spark?
Just do the swimming pool thing:
Run down. Swim 10 times back and forth. Dry in sun. Do 4 sets of 15 push ups. Mix in sets of situps. Relax. Swim 5 more times. Dry in sun. If time read a magazine in the shade. Shower.
Only takes about 20 minutes and you feel revived and fresh.
...lucky me I can see the swimming pool from my desk!
