Not sure why the guitar guy thought that dressing like a geography post-grad was the way to go for the band's live tv appearance.

I've just noticed that it's Terry Christian from The Word who's uploaded this on his own channel along with loads of other 'Word' clips. A funny mixture of quite big names and some very small ones.

I think he has steve in the kitchen for jerk chicken.

I sooo want an Surface 3 and the newest Adobe shit...

^ I saw that the other day! Pissed in my pants on that new tech! Xmas is coming up!

You guys know that all these are concepts, and not real things, right ?

Bringing the beats since 2005?

Might have wanted to fact check that one before printing...

Lo-res, it's hard to tell, but even if that said 1995 they'd still be off by 3 years!

I'd go for one with the Surrender jesus-in-the-crowd centered on the case. Hell I'll make one, you can probably have those printed up at whim.

I hope you folks had a way warmer morning, I was visiting few cemeteries for All Saints' day, as it is custom here, to lay down flowers and light some candles, and froze my balls off.
Do people do that elsewhere?

yes, it's also common here in germany - but here our balls don't went inside because we have around twenty degrees (celsius).

So glad I won't have to worry about shriveling, inverted, or frozen body parts, hahaha!!

The city I live is is predominantly Hispanic. They have a similar day of respect here called Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). People set up beautiful altars to their deceased loved ones all throughout downtown. The altars have candles, food, art - offerings that please the souls of the dead. There is a solemn touch to the event but it is also a celebration of life. There's music, food, dancing - it's a massive community event here that drives thousands of people to see and participate each year. The artistry devoted to these shrines and the warmth and level of engagement people are willing to extend in the memory of their loved ones is enduring, and the festival itself is pretty freakin cool. The day is not part of my culture, nor my husband's, but we've been checking out this festival for a number of years now and it is one of the many reasons we gravitated here to live. It also makes sense since we couldn't have lived here if not for family - both deceased and living.

So today marks the one year anniversary of moving into our home, and we're having a belated housewarming party / stroll down to the Dia de Los Muertos event. I really should be preparing the house and setting up, but I'm here on the interwebz instead.

Ah, that sounds like a sweet place to live and raise or entertain a family. And it's great to see you guys have so much fun even though it's not "your" culture. It also brings back some fond memories when I lived in Vienna, near DC, almost 3 years ago. I mean, they didn't have those religious festivals but they had a pretty entertaining Halloween Parade with decorated cars, kiddos showing off their handmade costumes and lots of lots of people gathering on the sidewalks and cheering. It was kinda cool and loved the vibe.

Regarding Amercian housewarming parties, do you guys have any certain rituals for these kind of things? We in Germany usually bring salt 'n pepper as a gift (among other useful and less useful things... like booze ).

Halloween is a big deal here in the States. We live in a great neighborhood that has a lot of spirit. We had well over 100 kids trick-or-treating and my neighbors built a haunted maze that managed to scare the bejesus out of everyone. Lots of screaming well into the night!

For housewarming parties, the proper thing for guests to do is bring a gift of some sort - usually flowers or a houseplant, or a bottle of wine. I didn't want anyone to bring anything. I just wanted people to bring themselves but one of my friends and my cousin insisted on bearing gifts. I got some orchids and a bottle of wine - the wine's good and hopefully these orchids want fall victim to my unintended orchid slaying ways.

ESA (European Space Agency) has launched a probe that should land tomorrow on a comet.
Watch it here http://www.esa.int/ESA

Last night Rosetta, after 10 years of traveling to meet comet 67P, separated from Philae lander, which, after some serious trouble, landed on comet surface.
In link below you can find first pictures of comet as Rosetta approached it some 100 days ago and it's surface on page 4, that were taken last night.
Imagine that, people, we now have first surface pictures of an object that is moving through solar system at 130000 km/h (about 80000 miles per hour) and hopefully soon, we'll know composition of it and it's internal structure.

Not to bore you any further with this, I hope you will find it interesting.
