Today I found it more fun to play in the blogosphere than contribute to the blogosphere. Between work and school my brain needs time to focus on mindless entertainment. Blog surfing is one way to do that, mindless television the other. Welcome back, America's Next Top Model and hello to America's most Smartest Model. Beauty and Geek, Project Runway, and Flavor of Love 3 and I Love New York 2. The trashier the reality genre, the better for my stress level! No one on these shows will find true love or fashion success but I enjoy their 15 minutes. And is anyone else indulging in my new favorite guilty pleasure - Gossip Girl? Please don't get canceled Gossip Girl, I have been waiting for years for something to replace Dawson's Creek!

Stained Glass - Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro
Yesterday's tour included a quick stop to run inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and take photos of the stained glass. Glass looks best when it is sunny outside and we had sun in abundance! I need to find a camera setting that works with cathedrals. Stained glass is one of the more difficult things to photograph well.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
Have you watched Bionic Woman? I watched the first episode and was totally confused, but at least we know what happened to Starbuck :-) I recorded the next two episodes but have not watched them. I'm also behind on Bones viewing.
