Photo-realistic art is pretty cool. You can see the artist working on a hot dog and bun in the screenshot. Watch the video for a bunch of others, some of which I could tell the difference, and some I could not.
Here is a poster from Disney Springs of Walt Disney's signature character and his girlfriend.
And then, in the 50s, non-animated features were produced by Disney. This plays with that history, placing Mickey, Goofy and Donald in a submarine which looks a whole lot like the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This cartoon parody is even named using a play on that title.
And now, they have a new signature franchise. I do not know of any short movies or locations with this name, but the poster is kind of cool.
Because it costs $1.99, I am not likely to place the Exploding Kittens game on my smartphone. I also don't often play any games with other phone users, making it even less likely that I will add it to my cadre of games. If you are into that sort of thing, you might check it out.
In the 1980s, a movie came out called NeverEnding Story. Do you remember it? Our family enjoyed it. Now, on Etsy, a woman has started offering a 4-foot Falkor replica, and the internet has gone crazy for it. In fact, the woman cannot create enough, so she has started selling the plans to make your own for $14. I am just setting it out there in case you have been wanting your own Falkor.
In the winter, does your electricity bill fall or spike? Are you ever worried about pipes freezing? Either way, there are some tips that can help. One is to be sure to lay something in front of doors where the warm air leaks out (it would be better to replace the weather-stripping, but do this in the meantime). Also, a liberal coat of WD-40 on the exteriors and joints of pipes and taps both indoors and outdoors can help prevent freezing damage. WD-40 can also help if the lock freezes on your car doors. Ice on your car windows? Vinegar and water will help clear that up pronto.
Looking for a used car? There may be some online options that can help. I scanned through one of them last night (Beepi)and it does seem like a possible source of a quality used car and a good price. Then again, it may only be something I use to aid my local search. I am not sure just yet.
I just read an article where the famous practice of performing a 180-degree turn in an spaceship is treated more realistically than most sci-fi adventures. The TV program The Expanse sort of acknowledges that doing such a 'flip' would exert the human body to G-forces it simply cannot handle. Sorry, Millennium Falcon.
At the start of the playoffs, Microsoft Cortana predicted that the New England Patriots would meet the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Cortana has made its picks for the NFL Conference Championships this weekend. New England Patriots (-3) at Denver Broncos — Patriots 53% chance to win. Arizona Cardinals (+3) at Carolina Panthers — Panthers 61% chance to win. Let's see how it does.
Do you like Chick-fil-A? Come on, you know that you do. Now, C-f-A is offering a kale-broccolini salad as an alternative to cole slaw. Would you try it? This journalist did, and ... liked it. Maybe I will try it next time I hit 'The Chick'.
Do you watch any of the various Gordon Ramsay shows? You know, Masterchef, Masterchef Junior, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares? Well, Clarity of Vision has as idea.
BTW, I did not need a root canal yesterday. Do not celebrate yet. The reason is because that tooth already had one. It looks like it could be a gum-related cause for the pain. So, I am on antibiotics right now, so the pain is not gone. My cheek still is swollen. I am supposed to call him back on Monday if it is not a lot better.
The week is over, my friends. We all made it. See you next week.
