For those fashionistas that read my blog, I know you’re familiar with The Sartorialist.  Today I bring to you the best spin-off ever – The CATORIALIST.  Fancy kitties from all over!  How cute!  Perfect!

Okay so I like kitties! And no I don’t have one, nor particularily want one – but they’re so fun to look at!  You should see my collection of ceramic kitties.

My Grandfather the WAR HERO!

Okay, maybe that’s being a bit dramatic, and a lot of the interview is just the life and times of Arnold Crump, but I’ve never heard him talk about his war experiences before now.

http://www.harrellshistory.org/ is cataloging the experiences of veterans from all wars, but appears to be focusing on WWII at the moment and my happened to meet up with my Grandfather Crump, T/Sgt. Arnold W., 706th Bomb Squadron, 446th Bomb Group, 8th AAF, ETO; Army Air Transport Command, India, CBI

I’ve loaded the videoes onto livestreaming for those interested

They are long interviews and he’s a bit hard to understand at times, but for me at least it was a very interesting interview and I can’t help but brag about him.  They’ve even posted some charming photographs!

That’s my studly grandpa

I don’t know who this guy is.. he doesn’t seem to have a professional web-site, but he’s got a lot of great stuff on his flickr.

iceland rocks!

If you’re planning on taking a trip overseas anytime soon I highly recommend Iceland Air.  Their prices are the same if not cheaper than just about anywhere else but all of their flights go through Reykjavik and you can take up to 7 days free stopover!   And stay for free with someone form couchsurfing.  Just like me!  They are even updating their seats right now so you get a fancy touch screen in front of you to watch movies on – which are expensive – but you can also watch a screen of where you are! Yay!

And Iceland is definitely somewhere you want to go.

If you are going alone, you’ll probably just want to use Reykjavik Excursions to get around.  I took them to the Blue Lagoon and I also took the Gullfoss Geysir Direct tour instead of the Golden Circle tour which worked out just fine since we stopped at Kerio Volcanic Crater and drove through Thingvellir anyway.  If you’re going with friends – it’s very worth it to rent a car and just go exploring.

Also, if you’re interested in Icelandic Horses – Eld-Hestar is the way to go!  They’ll come pick you up at your hotel and drive you out to their farm for free – they showed me a really good time and proved to have the best deal in town. I took the 3hour long Mountains and Meadows tour and was the only one one that tour that day so I got to bond with my tour guide – she was just the right amount of chatty and very sensitive to my skills as a rider keeping me going fast enough to not get bored and slow enough that I didn’t loose control.  The 5th gait RULES.

I mean with this guy at the head of your operation how could you go wrong Fantastic!

Christian The Lion

Okay so I’ve missed this “viral video” until today.. but I’ve just added about 18 views to the 6million others..

Yeah.. I laughed.. I cried.. love it.  AND I highly recommend watching the interview linked below on the today show with the two men, there are extra cute pictures of them with the cub.  Christian chillin’ in the back of their bently for one.  Oh. Yes.  One day I do hope to be fortunate enough to be able to donate to the George Adamson Trust. It seems they do amazing things.
