Space Travel

You know, the Wright Brothers made their first flight in 1603. By the 1960's flight was pretty much a given. People made commercial flights like it was no big deal, and now they do it all the time. Over the course of 60 years flight went from something that was deemed impossible to something that was pretty ordinary. Space travel has been around for over 50 years now and I want to know when charter space flights will be cheap enough for people to afford on a regular basis! Surely it will happen before I die. I hope so, because I want to go to space, dang it! I understand that it's different because people had placed to go when flight became popular. I mean, if you wanted to fly somewhere, you could go have a legitimate reason to do so. You say, "Hey I need to go to California. Maybe I'll try one of those fancy new chartered flights!" You can't say "Hey I need to go to Mars, maybe I'll go on a chartered space flight." You don't have a reason to go to Mars. Or the moon. It would be fun, but it will be a long time until chartered space flight is a means to an end, rather than the end itself. I have no hope of being a NASA astronaut so the only way to realize my dream of space flight is to hope and pray that it will become affordable to civilians.

Library Trip

I realized today that once seminary starts I probably won't get much pleasure reading in, so I set up my Twitter and Facebook statuses to ask for book suggestions. After getting some good ones, I went over to the Jessamine County Public Library, which was fantastic! They have new movies, TV shoes, CD's, comic books, AND regular books that you can check out. It's fantastic, like I said. I got a book called A Confederacy of Dunces, which was recommended by my friend Will and it's good so far. I also got Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and it's awesome. I can't believe that they have comic TPB's that I can check out. It's a good chance to get Batman and Spider-man stories that I've always wanted to read, but couldn't afford to buy at a bookstore. I'm gonna try and read as much as I can from that library before I have to do all my reading in seminary courses. If there are more books that you've read and want to suggest to me, let me know. (By the way, sorry Daniel I already read Jurassic Park)

Funny Things I Saw In The Toy Department

Working in toys is ok, it's not the greatest job ever, but I do see some pretty funny toys that I make fun of in my mind while I'm at work, and try really hard to remember for when I get home so I can write about them on the internet.First, we have the Lots of Love Babies. They are baby dolls that are kind of fat. They have lots to love. I don't know if you can see from this picture, but I've tried to blow it up and sharpen it here.
Maybe you can see it and maybe you can't but the slogan fro Lots to Love Babies is "It's Just Baby Fat!" Don't worry parents, these Lots to Love babies won't cause your children to think obesity is cool, they will understand that it's just baby fat and it will go away and the babies will be skinny later. But now there is more of them to love than from other baby dolls. I think the fact that they made fatter baby dolls is cool. I think the baby fat disclaimer is unwarranted. Who cares if it's baby fat or regular fat? Stupid Hollywood body images.

This is kind of a cool game, and I would like to play it maybe. In case you can't see why I think this game is funny, I will isolate it for you.
Clearly, The Incredible Hulk is farting. And by the looks of that skull and crossbones, it is some pretty noxious gas. I would expect nothing less from Hulk, though. I hope Spider-man has something in his mask that keeps him from smelling, or he may just be unable to operate.
