My brothers and I always stayed up late to watch Late Night with Conan O’Brien. We’ve always loved him. There is no one funnier than he. And luckily, the husband has good taste in comedians, too, and he prefers Conan to all the rest. I’m sure you’ve heard the latest news about Jay Leno (UGH) trying to take the Tonight Show back from Conan. But have you seen this video, where Jimmy Kimmel cracks on Leno during his interview? Love it!
Also, I’m sure you’re aware of the playoffs for the Superbowl. Well, I’ve always been a Packers fan, mostly because of Brett Favre. But now, he plays for the Vikings, so I’m cheering for them. Below is a video of him leading his team in “Pants on the Ground.”
Ever since I got pregnant again, I’ve been watching Abigail and wishing that she wouldn’t grow up. I hate to think that I might be “replacing” her baby time with a new baby. I know she’s becoming an awesome toddler, but I wish she could still be “little.”
If you like Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (as I do), you’ll need to check this out. It’s the song played with computer hardware.
The maker of the video says,
No effects or sampling were used. What you see is what you hear (does that even make sense?)
Atari 800XL - piano
Texas Instruments TI-99/4a - electric guitar
8 Inch Floppy Disk - bass
3.5 inch Harddrive - gong
HP ScanJet 3C - all vocals
In honor of the king of pop who was probably the greatest dancer ever, here’s a Walrus dancing to MJ’s song, “Smooth Criminal.”
I so want to go to Sea World or somewhere to see marine animals doing stuff like this. Anyone ever been to Sea World? What state? Or is there some other place like Sea World that you’d recommend?
Why didn’t I think to do this for my wedding. It would’ve been awesome. I’ve never heard this song, which is weird because I LOVE Queen! Anyway, such a neat video:

Susan Boyle is 48 years old and has always dreamed of becoming a professional singer. Boyle has said that lives alone with only her cat, she’s never had a boyfriend, and she’s never been kissed. So no one expected her to shine like she did. But, I’m so glad she did. This proves that you can’t always bet on first impressions.
Since she has become popular from Britain’s Got Talent, people have searched for more of her singing. This recording of Cry Me a River by Boyle was made back in 1999
Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place? . . . Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? . . . Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? . . . Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail? . . . What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? . . .Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? – Job 38:12-32
The following song “Indescribable” is by my favorite Christian artist Chris Tomlin. It speaks of God’s awesome power with nature.
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
“Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens; your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains; your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. . . .Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.” –Psalm 36:5-11
