The World’s Most Dangerous Day I got a hero from a dangerous time and place His calming reaction saved the entire human race The Soviet diesel sub made it’s way though US and NATO lines The move of trespass was met with depth charge fines The sub was shocked, shook, and grinded The captain Valentin Savitsky’s anger left him absent minded Their pay load would have been the angel of death for most of earth Orders to fire the nuke tipped missiles to prove their worth “There’s a war going on up there!” might have echoed from the deep “Take out as many as we can before our eternal sleep” Words to fire on the tip of his tongue Of Vasily Arkhipov’s sweet voice was sung To not fire that nuke on the worlds most dangerous day Leaving Moscow, New York, and humanity safe, miles away…

The Mermaid Inn crew’s overhaul of the former Smith’s space, Mermaid Oyster Bar , is a pretty impressive restaurant “exorcism/reboot.” (What it looked like formerly .) And according to some early word from the Twitter, the Yelp , and the tipline, she’s already winning people over in some other crucial departments (food, oyster) and letting some down in others (service, cocktails)

of watching America’s Next Top Model.  I can’t believe I admitted it either.  Why am I so hesitant to tell people I watch it?  After much soul-searching I realize its just because I don’t want to be considered as vapid and shallow as the show.  Unfortunately it is vapid and shallow.  Tyra tries to make it so much more by telling us that being on ANTM is much more than just being a “pretty girl” and taking a “fierce picture.”  It’s apparently about personality too.  So then why is Nicole in the final 2?  I’m not so sure ANTM is about anything more than ratings and drama but I am okay with that!  After dealing with real life all day long who doesn’t want to lose themselves in the ANTM world?  So now its just Nicole and Laura.  While I’m not crazy about the shorter girl theme this season (I think it’s so funny that at nearly 5′8″ I’d be considered a “petite model”) I do think that for the first time Tyra and her team have chosen the right 2 finalists from the bunch!  The past few seasons have been a bit of a disappointment, especially last season where I feel like Tyra just kind of gave up and the final episode ended so abruptly!  I can’t even remember who won last season, thats how unmemorable it was.  Anyway, I’m feeling too shallow to continue discussing ANTM so I’ll move on to the rest of the evening…Maya and I changed things up and met my brother at  Coupa Cafe  after work instead of going to the park.  We are crazy and unpredictable like that.  By some amazing miracle I was able to get to Beverly Hills from Santa Monica in 30 minutes, and I even stopped to get Maya from school.  Really, it was a day to note down in history as one of those perfect traffic days we all dream about.  We sat outside at Coupa so we could enjoy the great weather.  I enjoyed it for about 5 minutes before Maya said she needed to go potty.  When we came back I told Maya she couldn’t have anything sugary because she’s been on sugar overload all week.  She gave me a very sad look with her huge eyes and said, ”Okay Mama, I’ll just have a glass of water,” and then of course I caved.  So instead of ice water she basically inhaled this giant hot chocolate. I enjoyed a yummy decaf capuccino…I love it when they make a design with the foam… Good thing I drank it down fast because yes, Maya needed to go potty again.  My brother accused her of lying which she adamantly denied.  I agreed with him but I didn’t want to take that chance.  Maya knew I wouldn’t take that chance either so, we hit the restroom for the second time in 30 minutes.  Of course this time there was a line and so we waited.  And waited.  In the meantime I saw 2 guys go in and out of the men’s restroom.  That just drives me crazy! When we finally ambled our way back to the table it was freezing cold outside.  For Californian’s that means about 65 degrees.  Maya instantly declared she was cold and was ready to go.  So we left Coupa Cafe ’s restroom and headed home where Maya proceeded to Skype with her cousins for an hour.  And for that entire hour she didn’t need to go potty.   Naturally.

In another blow to the common man, actors, models and the like are now dominating the DJ world, snatching up residencies and corporate gigs from actual DJs who are trying to eke out a living at the craft. According to an article in W , hobbyist DJs like models Jessica Stam and Agyness Deyn, actor Leo Fitzpatrick and artist Nate Lowman can show up to a bar or corporate party with their iPods, press some buttons for a few hours and walk away with a five figure fee, while old fashioned DJs struggle to book gigs for a few hundred bucks. Is this wrong?

Jump to the full entry & travel map Galapagos Islands, Ecuador Excitement started early today as, during breakfast, crew member Jonathan spotted what he thought were whales in the distance. Within a couple of minutes, we’d all jumped in the pangas to try to get closer to them. It turned out they were in fact dolphins, and we got pretty darn close as they swam and lept around us in a feeding frenzy (like you see on Blue Planet, where they herd the fish)
