April's Mom

I write about are true stories of the supernatural that I personally have experienced. Sometimes there is more to the story then I tell about. With Mothers Day coming up I thought this would be the best time to tell this about this case.


Worst prom dress ever?

I'm posting this photo of me in my prom dress from prom in spring 1990, to warn all the young women about to attend Eden Prairie's prom tomorrow. Think classic, not trendy (although this probably wasn't even trendy then, maybe in 1986).

Judging from the photos we've already seen of some of the prom dresses that were available at PROP Shop, these young women have learned that lesson.


Eventually, all our heroes end up naked

Eventually, all our heroes end up naked

I woke up and turned on the Today Show, then went to the closet to get out the shirt I was wearing for the day. Next, in my underwear mind you, I quickly opened my door and grabbed my free copy of the USA Today, slipping back in with much haste and stealth. As if anyone would notice or care if a half-naked man popped out of his hotel room door. Happens all the time, I’m told.


Link: Steampunk!

I just watched "The Golden Compass" last night, a children's movie that includes a number of Steampunk elements: floating airships, clever golden mechanical devices, old-timey outfits. 

Why, you haven't heard of Steampunk before? Then look no further than this awesome slide show on the New York Times. My favorite is what they've done with the flat screen of a computer.

Do you take SouthWest Transit buses? A story in today's Eden Prairie News discusses the bus service's economic pinch, which is expected to mean higher bus fares -- and fewer trips to the State Fair. Will higher bus fares influence whether you take the bus?
