Things are brightening up!

Weather
Well, finally mother nature has brighten up her mood. As I posted on one of my statuses, "Goddamn, Mother Nature really needed or wanted a shower in April and wanted us as rubber duckies. At least we'll be smelling like flowers in May. Get it? No? Bazinga!!" Pure gold this coming weekend for us. 60s to even hitting 70s and well possibly 80s by next week. Hopefully this keeps up and stays!

Peoria, Illinois
So, this past weekend we had quite an adventure. Not only the road trip, but the view and heck an amazing show with tons of beautiful readings and messages! Yes, I did see Theresa Caputo from The Long Island Medium show on TLC. Sadly, I didn't get to meet her up close, but I did meet her husband Larry.

My sis, Larry Caputo, and me.

We got no readings, but I'm sure some were literally for us. Too many signs or short messages seemed like they were for us, but.. we let it slide due to other messages after the "main" ones. Before the show, we checked out the area and it was beautiful and it was a must to take photos.. especially me. Check them out on my Digital Blu Facebook Page and yes, they are marked and very noticeable. Alas, it might've been a long drive, but it was a fun adventure!

Tv shows

Brain Games
 It's a Tv show on Nat Geo channel on Monday nights (check your local listings for times) that challenges your brain to work harder or just simply improve your attention to details and remember everything around you.  I've seen both episodes so far, On Demand, and I enjoy it a lot! It really does work your brain more and basically, its like Luminosity site game, but on the tv. I suggest you see it for yourself, but don't get fooled with their games or is it your brain playing games on you! For more info on this show, check the site out.

The Numbers Game
This one a quite new, with I believe one episode aired so far. Also on Nat Geo channel following Brain Games on Monday nights. Description: "Money. Sex. Marriage. Mortality. In each episode, data scientist Jake Porway tackles one of life’s most daunting topics revealing the surprising science behind them. From mind-bending stats, hilarious man on the street experiments, and interactive game play, this show delivers the answers to life’s mysteries and gives you the tools to help take charge of your destiny and change your life forever." This one seems very interesting and once I heard what it was about, it was mind blowing to the point of.. well seeing what they're talking about and possibly testing some of them out. I have yet to see the first episode, premiered April 22nd, so hopefully I can catch the following episodes to come. For more info and clips of this show, check it out here.

Hemlock Grove

Exclusively in and for Nextflix, an original series that can only be seen possibly through your Netflix subscription! A very interesting show that only has 13 episodes so far as its first season and all are available now. I'm starting to watch this and yes, I will be making a review for it soon.. once I finish watching it completely. I'm only on episode 3, just a heads up, so keep checking back here for the review. I am not sure if this is available on dvd or any other format, if you do not have Netflix, so bare with me to investigate that as well. The description: "A teenage girl is brutally murdered, sparking a hunt for her killer. But in a town where everyone hides a secret, will they find the monster among them". Once again, check back for the review and other info I gather for you! Can't wait? Check out the Novel based on this show.

Its here!

C2E2 is finally here!!!! Yes, I will be there with nephew at hand and with a theme, on Saturday only. A theme? Come find me to see what I'm talking about. If you're going, have lots of fun and explore!!!

 

And it keeps pouring down..

Weather

Wow, we hit the big one! We are under a Winter Storm Warning, because of Winter Storm Saturn, since 3am this morning and it's still going until 12am. I think I haven't seen it stop, not even for a minute. I believe they said for the first 5hours of 2-3 inches, then the 2nd half of 6+ hours 4-6 inches. I think its more than that, combined, but we'll see. At least my dad has a great snow blower, but lets hope the jealous crazy neighbors don't mess up his piling method by the garage. I found a really funny picture that probably describes how everyone in Chicago/Illinois feels about this storm...

Music
Lately, I been hearing great songs on tv commercials. When that happens, I try to Shazam that mofo song quickly, just to know who it's by and read the lyrics. Mainly, the lyrics are the ones that catch my attention to the song, but at other times its just the great beat. Here are 4 songs that have caught my attention already and downloaded recently:

*Heard this one in a commercial for the History Channel and instantly loved it! Love the music video as well.. don't mess with stuffed animals.

*I heard this one before and couldn't pin point it, but then I figured it out.. a commercial for Breaking Amish show on TLC.

*I heard this one on a commercial for a car. I forget what make and model of the car commercial, but yeah.

*I just heard this one on the radio. I'm not sure if it has been on a tv commercial, but I wouldn't doubt it.

Art projects and similar
So I have been improving my photography skills, my nail art skills, and well now on to a new boat in art projects. I have posted a preview recently of my most recent art project I'm working on in my Facebook and hopefully it catches on to get customers. Here is the preview:

My most recent attempt at a new nail art method:

Ombre Nail Art

I wouldn't mind doing this method for other people aka customers and I believe I got a customer already, but not sure if it's definite and if it will happen. I mentioned it as a joke, charging 10$ (cheaper than nail salons I'm sure), and well got a hit.. not sure if its true though, we'll see.


Voting and s'mere luck!
So my sis entered my nephew in a photo contest. Sadly it is not a photo I took of him, but still a nice fun thing to do while he's young. I'm asking people, anyone, to vote for him as many times as you can daily, when you can. Here is the link and enjoy!

I think I am, or my sis.. mom and I, are destined to see Theresa Caputo Live! There are tickets available for a show of her's coming soon here in Illinois and my God, I hope we can get those tickets very soon and be read. Hopefully we can, I need it.. I need a reading from my grandma asap!
