The Weirdest Thing

Monday while at lunch Twitter blew up because of the attack at the Boston Marathon. Simultaneously, next to the McDonald's where I was eating EMS vehicles were roaring into the Marathon gas station next door. It was a little surreal. Tragedy at the Marathon.

Smaller Films

I like it when a thread starts flying around Twitter and people spend an hour trying to impress others with the wittiness. It's a fun part of Twitter. They often take the form of the one I participated in last night. I saw a few people I follow were posting and using the tag #smallerfilms and making up funny fake film titles that riff on existing films. Good times.

Here is a few I came up with:

A Barred Owl

Yesterday Melanie heard an owl calling in our neighborhood. She has eagle eyes and spotted this beauty in a tree in our neighbor's backyard.





If you have never heard one of these owls calling, it's beautiful. (Not my video)
