Pictures from My Phone & Weekly Distractions

Hey Strangers. Let's enter this weekend in style with some pictures, distractions, and one odd request at the end.

This, and the next few pictures, are taken of an advertisement for a club we came across today. Check out the English translations.


More great English translations.

And more happy so lucky fun times English.

Taken at a rooster themed restaurant in Palau that my friend Brian has started calling "The Q of C."

At the Q of C restaurant.

Even the napkin holders are Queen of Colors paraphernalia.


Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:

The Queen of Colors's arch-nemesis? Thanks, Meghan.

Great ice-cube recipe. Be sure to read the comments. Thanks, Heather.

Apparently there are some obscure January holidays to get us through the rough times. Thanks, Val.

  6. I sent an email and felt like it would be creepy to do that without leaving a comment on the post, too.
    So uh, here is a comment!
    Hahaha. I can't wait to hear what this TMZ business is all about, hope all is well! Also, speaking of poorly translated signage...my hubs served his mission in Chile, and one P-day some people in the ward took them to a remote lake in the middle of nowhere to go fishing. After hiking through crazy remote mountain trails to get there, there was a sign that said "Stop! Do not throw garbage to the floor!"
    ...I guess they had a problem with lost tourists littering up their lake? Or something? Because really, if someone manages to find that place, how likely is it that they will only speak English?? Hahaha :P
