The Mythical Chupacabra!!

I am back from vacation! And I had a marvelous time with family in the beautiful state of North Carolina. I spent time at Atlantic Beach, Greenville, and Roxborough Lake. Fantastic, relaxing, and it didn't cost us very much either. :)  Anyway, on with the fun.

Monster Chupacabra

There was a Chupacabra siting in North Carolina while I was there! This is unusual because normally chupacabra sitings happen in Texas or Mexico or something. Don't know what a chupacabra is? It's sort of a hairless dog looking thing. But it's IMAGINARY.  It's like Big Foot. Or the loch ness monster. It isn't really there or your eyes are playing tricks on you... Or someone shaved all the hair off their dog. Wikipedia has some weird image on their site which doesn't look anything like a chupacabra is supposed to. Check it out on the left.

Now.. That looks kinda like an alien, doesn't it? It looks nothing like the "siting" they showed on the news or any of the pictures google brings up about chupacabras. It looks like one of those sinister little aliens that sneak into kitchen cupboards and spring out and scream at you when you're just trying to get a bowl for your cheerios!!!! I hate those kind of aliens. I can handle other kinds.. Like the punk-ass ones in Signs that die from water. Or the nice-ish ones from Star Trek. Star Trek aliens are never reeeally scary. Speaking of Star Trek.. William Shatner just did a documentary called The Captains. You can watch it on Epix HD. There's a free 14 day trial so I'm gonna take the trial and watch it. OR Kenneth could do it. KENNETH DO IT. <3 It looks kinda like Netflix. I need to watch it, cause I love me some Star Trek captains. Well.. Some of them. My order of preference is:

1. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) Star Trek: TNG
2. Katherine Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) Star Trek: Voyager
3. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) Star Trek: TOS
4. The rest. Cause they suck. (All the other ones)

I'm probably letting you know too much about my love of Star Trek.. But I don't caaaaaaaaare! I am a huge nerd. If you didn't know that already, whose blog have you been reading?

Sidenote: If you go to the dentist and you have new insurance, bring your damn card. 

OH HEY!!!!!!!  I found a picture of a Chupacabra that's ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE. Check it out.

The mythical CHUPACABRA!

Dog, right? Ya. Someone has not been feeding their dog and all the hair fell out. Chupacabra = imaginary.

Book 3

I've been reading Game of Thrones. I finished the second book on vacation last week and started the third. 71% through it as of last night when I went to bed.  That's pretty good for such looooong books.  And they are fantastic. Except that he kills like everyone off. BUT, it makes it exciting and unpredictable. And more realistic than most of this type of genre. You get attached to someone and then he RIPS them away from you in some awful way.  I didn't realize how long these books were because I have them on my kindle, which doesn't go by page but instead goes by percentage. The first book is 835 pages in paperback. I think the newest book (book five, A Dance with Dragons) is over 1000 in hardback.

Now it is technically in the "Fantasy" genre. But it doesn't really shove a bunch of magic/fantasy/mythical creatures at you so it's a safe read for anyone really.  There's no chupacabras in Game of Thrones. But there are DRAGONS.  I haven't been into a series this much in a loooong time. Check it out if you need something to read that's more than some quick evening/beach read.

Speaking of the beach... I leave you with a picture of the view from my beach chair. It was a lovely 86 degrees.

My feet and the beach.

 OOO AND! I found the Dos Equis man (The Most Interesting Man in the World) at Chico's in Greenville. Picture of me and him!

I don't always go to Mexican Restaurants, but when I do I find the Dos Equis man.

Ok really that's it.

Edit: The inlaws Lake house is on Roxboro lake. Not Lake Roxborough like I had previously stated! Thanks to my husband for the catch!

Edit 2: Mario sent me a picture that he thinks is a Chupacabra. He lives in Texas. I think it's just a tiny cat in the rain.
