It's That Way with Penguins

Above is the birthday gift I got from Joel & Ryan. Below is a box made up of renticular (false 3d) images that I bought in Taiwan - again of penguins!

And the other day I just watched Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa where the penguins were prominent again, as was in the first movie.

What is it with these guys?

Only Minimally Enchanting?

This is a scale model of Enchanted Kingdom presented at the Laguna Investment and Business Expo in SM Sta. Rosa last week, where exhibitors and participants were treated to free entrance to the park in the afternoon of Nov. 8. Sir Chris & I didn't go.

I thought that it would include new rides being planned, but it doesn't. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and visit again.

New Toy of the Week: Inexpensive Science

Ten experiments at around 7 pesos each! Hope to use this in the next Open Lab or Science & Math Week.

One of the advantages of being a lab rat is that you still get to play with cool stuff - and call it work!

Revenge of the Scary Clueless Blonde Movie

Anna Faris in The House Bunny doesn't stray much from the doe-eyed expression that shot her into fame in the Scary Movie series.

The plot about an unpopular sorority rising to greatness is borrowed from Revenge of the Nerds.

Glamorizing a female with no fashion sense is straight out of Clueless.

And the final monologue is in the same style as Reese Witherspoon had in the Legally Blonde films.

Overall does the merging of these concepts work? Except for the physical Cinderella transformations of the sorority members, which was also too quick (as was their change into vacuous vamps), it doesn't. The funny stuff was really too few and far between.
