Penguin glasses? Yes please.
I’m not going to lie, I have an Ikea problem. I really like Ikea, I like that their stuff is cheap mostly I think. But I really truly thought I had struck the jackpot when I ran into these beauties :
I mean, they have elephants, and mushrooms, and penguins, and flowers, and bugs, and are just all around awesome. Oh and they only cost me $6/6, but they were on sale then and they’re still only $9.00 at regular prices.
They can be found on the Ikea site here :
Why am I writing about my water glasses you ask? Because I like them that much.

Watch out Vulcan
I once again have failed myself and fallen behind on my posts. Don’t worry I can assure you I’ve already given myself a mental beating. And for those ten of you who read my blog on a consist basis, I’m sorry and I love you.
Anyways, on with the good stuff.
A few weekends ago I wasn’t feeling so great and was in a BLAH mood. So me and Mr. Stebe hopped into the car with the intention of going out to find sticks so I could build a lattice for my pea’s to grow (more on this later 
) Needless to say, we never found any sticks because we magically found outselves driving out across the prairie towards the little town of Vulcan.
Now Vulcan is a little town situated exactly in Middle of Nowhere, Alberta, and as you can tell it has a somewhat famous name. Vulcan is the center stage for a yearly Trekkie event called Spock Days, and we just so happened to decide to take our drive on the weekend that it was occuring. Sadly by the time we arrived in the late afternoon on Sunday most of the hardcore fan’s had left. Highly disappointing, I know. We did some quick running around and took some photo’s of the landmarks, sadly no one dressed in full on costume was around so it’s just us and our geeky mugs. In fairness though there was some guy in the tourist information center – which is really neat by the way – with a lizard sitting on his shoulder like it was perfectly normal to bring your lizard to the trekkie convention and walk around with it. That’s cool though, whatever floats his boat. I wonder if he thought it was like his little alien or something though? Lord only knows.
On with the geekiry
Captain Jean Luc-Picard of the USS Enterprise is all I can hear in my head, ala : http://picard.ytmnd.com/
There were plaques in each language underneath the Ship, Vulcan looks pretty but I bet you’d get one bitch of a hand cramp writing it.
Vrrrrooooooooom.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am. And yes, that is the ever so charming Brit that lives in my house, aka Stebe.
I only know who one of these people are, I fail at Trekkie.
On a side note, this year the little itty bitty town of Vulcan petitioned to have the priemier of the new Star Trek in their town, and they almost got it with the help of some very important people. More info here :
