Welcome to Digi-Chix in the Imajica! This is my ongoing tribute to fascinating women that I randomly find on the digital planet and wish to highlight for you.
Shown above is Paz Trigo Campos, aka Paz Vega. Paz Vega was born in Seville, Spain in 1976. As a teenager, she decided to become an actress and pursued her dream after moving to Madrid. A well-known actress in Spain these days, she hit the Hollywood scene in the U.S. in December 2004 with a supporting role in the romantic comedy "Spanglish" with Adam Sandler.
I just saw the movie "Spanglish" this past weekend on cable television. I won't bore you with the personal reasons why this movie touched me, but suffice it to say that watching this film was the impetus for me highlighting Paz Vega.
"I'm not the new Penelope Cruz. I'm Paz Vega. There's only one Penelope and she's marvelous." -Paz Vega.
After seeing Paz Vega, I only have one question, "Who's Penelope Cruz?"
Since I posted such a large photo of Paz Vega here, I'm just going to leave you with my Paz Vega links for you to explore:
Since I just posted a photo of the Mini-Manx kitty, I thought I should also put a link to a photo of my cat, Skiddy, so she doesn't get jealous and poop in my shoe.
Even more so, since we're on the feline topic, here's a recent photo of Sonic (above) sent to me by Melicious. Sonic is getting some holiday cheer in his own special way.
Anyway, I'm glad I don't have to pick up that sticky stuffed animal after Sonic is done being a stuffed animal sexual offender. Melicious has to wash it, not me. It puts a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Let me be your fuck-toy."
I haven't been blogging for a little bit because I've been helping a friend move from one this-old-house to another that-old-house. Besides the physical transportation of a decade's worth of stuff from one domicile to another, the old place can not be abandoned like a stinky pair of old tennis shoes, as the old home has become a rental.
I have spent the last few weeks helping my friend with a bit of remodelling and maintenance on both homes, as belongings are moved. Painting a room or rewiring electrical outlets (etc) before you put your stuff inside of it is easier than painting the ceiling after all your happy stuff is moved into the room, right?
The little kitty (above) is a Manx, with no tail. It's the last kitten of a recent litter my friend's cat had about a month ago. It was the Momma Manx cat's first litter. The kittens came at a very inopportune time.
An older couple finally took one kitten, however. Then "Magic" Dave took three kittens after a night of heavy drinking. Ask me in chat about Dave -- he knows how to levitate, apparently. That just leaves this little pooper-stinker under foot.
I thank all of you wishing me a happy Thanksgiving on my Tag Board. I gave my thanks by helping my friend who was not only doing her best to move, but also help out her other friend who was very suddenly diagnosed with stage-4 cancer. We all are doing our best to make life carefree for her friend, accomodate her friend's family, and keep her sick best friend in our thoughts and prayers.
So ... why? Well, I go through the TAG board periodically (or when asked) and delete entries. Mainly I delete your entries because it reloads the page periodically or when you add a new entry for chatting and when it gets too large, it takes up bandwidth loading constantly. My general rule was this: if you put an annoying little smilie emoticon on the TAG, that entry was the first to go when I cleaned house.
The second rule: if the entry was older. But the second rule bummed me out because I hate to throw away memories, so, some entries were deemed to be classics and had to be preserved (like Hygelic reading my blog in the bathroom on his cell phone).
Then the first and second rules unfortunately clashed when it came to old school phreeks who might put an ascii emoticon at the end of their sentence, like Skennedy (et al). These people were violating my first unstated rule through no fault of their own, and, because the programmers of the TAG board must have thought to themselves, "how handy-fucking-dandy would it be if we just translated every ascii emoticon to a different happy little yellow face?" So, they dropped another few hits of Exstacy, patted each other on the back and went back to coding the TAG board.
So, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing -- I've decided to archive the TAG board here for all to see -- and still be able to delete older entries (and keep the TAG.html small) with a clear conscience. I normally archive halfway through the month.

Some of you regular, longtime readers of Thunderstorms in the Imajica know that I occasionally do my own amateur research on environmental issues here. And when I find interesting resources, like a UN global sustainability report or a cool website, I blog about those things. One of my personal interests that I have mainly kept to myself only as a collection of browser bookmarks until now is the emerging industry of neighborhood electric vehicles, or NEVs. While I may have mentioned the term NEV in passing, I decided I would take my research on NEVs and broaden the scope to include other non-petroleum guzzling vehicles, spotlight vehicles you can use today in your everyday life, and start a discussion topic on the future of personal transportation.
Look for a link to a main menu page [here] in the future that will list some of the spotlighted products available and related entries. No sense in making a menu page of links, yet, until I have compiled a few entries to read on this subject.
