My Ebay Win
Originally uploaded by happylolday.
After a furious bidding war on ebay, I won what was described as a box full of crumpled paper. I was so excited when it arrived but it was a scam! Look at how much cat packing material is in there! It's like more than half cat packing!! I wanted crumpled paper! I can't believe these ebay things.. so unfair! What am I going to do with all that CAT! ;)
Why yes I took this lovely pic with my cellphone :) It's a recent arrival in the mail. Flickr solved the biggest problem but I am still having some glitches that waste lots of time.. ugh.. anyway I have a huge painting project going on now that I think I will just hunker down and finish. Hopefully when I am done Flickr will be back to normal! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

New Bird Discovered in Indonesia
New Bird in Town.. I mean The World!
Maybe this is why they stayed hidden, they read too many news stories of endangered/extinct species... but now they are making a big debut. Meet: Togian white-eye, or Zosterops somadikartai!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A small greenish bird that has been playing hide-and-seek with ornithologists on a remote Indonesian island since 1996 was declared a newly discovered species on Friday and promptly recommended for endangered lists.
The new species is called the Togian white-eye, or Zosterops somadikartai.
It was first spotted by Mochamad Indrawan of the University of Indonesia and his colleague Sunarto, who like many Indonesians uses one name.
"We observed the species in the field from 1997 to 2003," Indrawan said in a statement.
Dr. Pamela Rasmussen, a taxonomist at Michigan State University, completed the identification, reported in the March edition of The Wilson Journal of Ornithology.
The researchers had to get one of the birds for examination and formal classification.
Togian white-eyes are small, greenish-colored and have conspicuous white eye-rings.
Its nearest relatives have a band of white feathers around their eyes but this energetic little bird, which travels in small groups, is less showy, the researchers said.
The new Togian white-eye has been seen only near the coasts of three small islands of the Togian Islands in central Sulawesi. Rasmussen said it likely falls into the International Union for Conservation of Nature's category of endangered.
"This finding of the bird is only the beginning given the vast opportunities with Indonesian landscapes and seascapes of endemic flora and fauna," Indrawan said.
"What this discovery highlights is that in some parts of the world there are still virtually unexplored islands where few ornithologists have worked," Rasmussen said. "The world still holds avian surprises for us."
Indonesia has 1,600 of the known 10,000 bird species.

Where Will Life Take You?
I don't think I have posted a commercial here.. but this one is just stunning. It's a Louis Vuitton ad, I don't own any LV stuff and this ad is very light on product placement and probably won't make you run out to get any.. very admirable that they created something this beautiful. It's worth a watch, just to come away with the feeling it conveys. If anything it may make you pack a bag LV or not and just hit the road. I wish all commercials were like this. This one proves how wonderful they could be. :)
