Penguins

I got to see penguins recently. Sadly I didn’t get to play with them. All in all a fun experience, but I wish there had been some actual penguin play time. Here’s the story in photos:

Math Penguin

So apparently some school in California has implemented a novel approach to raising test scores: a mute penguin.

Strange concept – the kids like it because it’s like a video game, but I guess this penguin jumps around to show linear equations and whatnot? I’m not sure what the world has come to that kids only learn when there are video games involved, but I guess this is better than nothing.

And it goes to show that penguins are in fact a cure-all :)

Animal Slippers

I just discovered bunnyslippers.com and have to say it might be time to get a new pair of (fun) slippers!!! Penguins for sure, or maybe the original bunny style? There’s even an option for microwavable slippers! “More than just ordinary slippers, these fuzzy cat slippers contain removable, microwaveable insoles that emit a soothing scent of lavender when heated.” WOW! I definitely think that’s a bit over the top, but I’m sure come winter-time it’s a welcome novelty for those who own them.

So many choices! lol

Dream Vacation

Just for shits and giggles I periodically look at cruise itineraries to Antarctica and South America. It’s my dream vacation, and I hope to actually book one of these trips some day. It’s a bit of a balancing act though: wait til I have enough money (these trips are usually $8,000+ per person!) but do it soon enough that the ice hasn’t melted. Anyway, the one itinerary that consistently wins for me is this one, on the Hurtigruten – MS Fram ship through the Cruise Norway line:

Day 1: Depart the US

Day 2: Arrive in Buenos Aires

Day 3: Buenos Aires/Ushuaia

Day 4: At sea

Day 5-6: Falkland Islands/Malvinas

Day 7-8: At Sea

Day 9-10: South Georgia

Day 11: At Sea

Day 12: South Orkneys

Day 13-16: Antarctica

Day 17-18: Drake Passage

Day 19: Ushuaia

Day 20: Buenos Aires

Basically I want this to be me: lim_penguinscl

In fact, I think I would shit a brick if I got to get that close to a bunch of penguins in real life!

Of course I would have to extend this trip to go sightseeing all around Buenos Aires and Chile. I mean, it’s not like I’m down in that region all that frequently! This vacation is seriously the vacation of a lifetime…does someone wanna book it for me?!
