Finish this sentence..."How to make"

I've decided that with my newly expressed love for Google I would have a little fun with a reoccuring post (not sure how often) of "Finish this sentence" Basically I will start to type a phrase into Google's instant search and write down the top things...pretty simple and pretty darn hilarious!
And of course what fun is writing them down in order, they will instead be a countdown!

4. How to make a toga
3. " paper snowflakes
2. " pumpkin seeds
1. How to make Jello Shots!

So obivously I added the exclamation point, but isn't that funny, so there are thousands of people out there looking on Google how to make jello shots. Glad that Google was even there to help finish there sentence :)

Can I just SAY....I love the internet!

GOOGLE is amazing! So here I am just typing into my favorite search engine, Google (of course) that is what Edward uses *gush*) how to make my blog cute and yada yada and am like what is special in this day according to Google who has this nifty little picture




And I would like to think that my Humanities 101 class (thank you crazy Dr. Burns) has taught me at least to appreciate the more famous artists but looking at this picture I am just stumped as to who they might be alluding to. So of course I click on it and it is....Paul Cézanne! He is a French Impressionist artist that lead to an important art movement in the 19th century and that lead to something else artistically important.

So obviously art appreciation isn't my point, though I must point out that my knowledge of art is better than those who don't know Jackson Pollock (if you don't know any modern artist you should at the very least know who he is so you sound educated) but I find it just amazing that I was probably going to finish my night out watching Dr. Who (brilliant British television) and looking up tips on beautifying my blog and this little nugget of information literally falls on my lap in the form of electronic/internet digitalness.

What a glorious world we are living in that I can learn something new everyday of the year and not really have to pay anything for it and honestly not be looking for it but it finds me. I honestly feel so blessed to be born into a world that allows me to turn on a laptop and find information about Paul Cezanne and whoever else I feel like stalking or whoever feels like stalking me :)
