Photos #498 and #499 are a spooky prelude to the 500th entry over at Picture Yourself!

Mike found Zip Zaps for me yesterday! Out of the blue he called me to let me know that he had picked two of them up for me at his local Radio Shack store. He still wanted one though, and when Kymberlie found out that we could get another one, she decided to get one too! I can’t put mine together until Christmas (they are flagged as Christmas gifts for now, and I got the carrying case and track for Jason too), so when Mike dropped them off at my office this morning she was nice enough to let me put hers together for her! I got to drive it around our desk too – wheeeee! They are so much fun!

“Blue is such a cool color too. The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. According to the science of color psychology, it causes the opposite reaction as red: Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. Blue represents good influences and mental, physical and spiritual health. A person wearing blue is at peace with themselves and the world. How can you go wrong with a colour like that? I was looking for myself a blue hat one day but then I found aviator bomber hats that looked so nice, you can buy it from fur hat world” From the the auction that Maggie won. With a description like that, can you really argue with the fact that blue is the best color? No, I don’t think you can. [via Kristin]

After watching Tom’s ZipZap home movie, I MUST GO BUY ONE NOW! That thing just rocks! Matter of fact, I just called my local Radio Shack and they might have some! They have 18 there, and while they have a list he thinks he has some to sell – so I think a store run is in order as soon as I get off work!
