Self Portrait (and other misc.)

I know I haven't blogged our vacation road trip yet, but that would take too much effort, and I've been sick all week, so here are some random thoughts instead.

I've been checking out the Brain Age programs that came with the Nintendo DS.  They're supposed to "exercise" your brain, working towards a goal of achieving a 20 year old brain (meaning younger is better -- although who on earth thinks a 20-year-old has the optimal amount of intelligence and/or wisdom????).  

Anyhooo...the program first asked for my birthdate, and then wanted to take a picture of me for my file (the DS has a camera in it).  I said no to the photo, so it asked me to draw a picture of myself.  I drew a quick sketch, and then took the first test. 

So I guess if you tell it you're 53 years old, but then you draw like a 5-year-old, it averages the two and thinks you're 29.   Works for me!

I was amused at the Eugene Public Library's acknowledgment of the quirkiness of living in Eugene (see bottom of sign).  If you're not from around here, you can Google "Eugene Celebration" for an explanation.

And finally, oh the indignity of being the object of Danica's experimentation with fashion.  Meet "Tigger-ella" --

 

Actually, he looks pretty good in a dress.  And so does she!
