Transit of Venus
Next week is a very important and rare scientific event: a transit of Venus. I first read about this phenomenon in Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything. Captain Cook’s first voyage was actually to Tahiti to observe and record the 1769 transit. After the transit, he opened his sealed orders and learned he was to try to find the rumoured “Terra Australis.” And here we are!

Frank Frazetta’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ Illustrations Make Middle Earth Metal – Hahahaha. Eowyn took on the Witch King with her ass hanging out like that??

Tiny Tack House – While I like the idea of living in a tiny house, I don’t know if I could live in one *that* small. I like to have my own separate space sometimes. (Not to mention the fact that the Snook is a certified pack rat…)

Isaac Surprises His Girlfriend Amy With a Wonderfully Choreographed Live Lip-Dub Marriage Proposal – This made me cry. So lovely and joyous!

A glimpse from one side of the dog fence – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) – Hey Dad! It’s an article with a picture of the dingo fence!

Call Me Maybe – THE SUPERCUT. This is awesome. I am such a sucker for catchy songs.

13 Untapped ’90s Fashion Trends – Oh good grief. I still sport an embarrassing number of these on a near daily basis.
