From Amazon.com:

Nolan Day can read your mind. For him, trading classmates secrets for quick cash is simple, it’s the whispering voices and nose bleeds that make it difficult. Things get worse when his latest client decides to step into oncoming traffic. Trying to unravel the mystery of why and right his mistakes, Nolan discovers a darkness lingering inside the mind that threatens human existence, and forces him to confront his own broken past. Nolan’s only choice is to ask a girl who’s out to expose his secret and his dishonest foster brother for help. Although when thoughts become deadly who do you trust?

Early reviews state:

I had the pleasure of reading the advanced readers copy of Uncanny Day, and was very impressed with Cory’s debut novel. The main character is easily likable, the telepathy uniquely done, the mystery engaging and the romantic subplot a strong hook into character empathy. All of these factors combined to make this a fast paced and enjoyable read. I often say that YA is not my thing, but Clubb uses all of the above elements to show me that a good story is a good story, no matter the genre. Nolan Day’s telepathy allows him to see into people’s minds as if they were rooms or places with key pieces of information that he needs to unravel the mystery. This uniquely done magical system engages the reader to remember clues to a case that goes from teenage gossip to the possible deaths of those close to Nolan. His ability and charisma with his best friend and crush has series potential, and reminds me of my favorite show, Castle, but if Rick and Kate were best friends in High School–and of course you added telepathy to Rick’s many quirks.

Completed five months after the death of Walt Disney, Club 33 was designed as a VIP lounge where Walt intended to entertain dignitaries and VIPs. His vision was inspired by the VIP lounges at the 1964 World’s Fair and further modeled after the French Quarter in New Orleans. Walt and his wife hand selected many of the antiques on display in Club 33 during their travels to New Orleans.

 The Trophy Room 

The entrance to Club 33 is located directly next door to the Blue Bayou restaurant that is inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  To enter, there is a door bell under a metal panel to the left of the door. The host opens the door and checks to see if your name is on the list. Once inside, there is a lovely wooden elevator (French Lift) and staircase for your ascent into the club.

Lounge Alley

After ascending the staircase or by use of the French Lift, guests enter the Gallery that branches off to Lounge Alley, The Trophy Room and the restrooms. Lounge Alley, seen above, leads to the main dining room. The experience includes a buffet of appetizers and desserts, that are located on the sides of this hall next to a full service bar, and an entree selected from the menu. This is the only restaurant in Disneyland that serves alcohol.

The food is scrumptious, the atmosphere is fine dining with a very attentive wait staff, and every article in the place is unique and interesting. Even the ladies room toilets are fashioned as wicker top chairs. I would’ve taken a picture if I didn’t think that might come across as weird.

Beware of shiny, happy people with inspirational messages. You know the type. The random acts of kindness crowd. Morally superior and not afraid to tell you about it. Seems we run into this sort of thing everywhere: in person, online, at work, at play.

In Pursuit of Happiness, radio show hosts John Littig and Lynne Rosen were found dead in their apartment on Monday in what appears to have been a double suicide. Renowned psychotherapist (Rosen) and teacher (Littig), they also founded the Why Not Now life coaching business:

Founded by Lynne Rosen and John Littig, Why Not Now provides focused life coaching designed to help foster and encourage your inner strengths, identify hidden and untapped resources, and put you confidently on the path to designing the life you’ve always wanted to live.

“It’s a funny thing about life: if you refuse to accept anything but the very best, you very often get it”
W. Somerset Maugham

You only live once, right?

I suppose it’s clear they didn’t find happiness in telling others how to find happiness. A suicide note was left behind, however as this is an ongoing investigation police have not disclosed the contents. Cause of death was suffocation in plastic bags while breathing in helium. I can only imagine what their last conversation must’ve been like.

You think to yourself “that doesn’t make sense, there’s gotta be some logical explanation for it”, why would THEY do that?

And then sometimes no matter how many times you look at it, you just gotta say WTF bro?!

This week in the WTF files features the one and only Mark Hamill, leaving a recording studio (no doubt a session for one of the many character voices he does) and rooting through a public ashtray for some butts, before grabbing a choice few and sitting his BMW to smoke them.

WTF

Now this might be a little TMZish to report, but it’s a slow news week and not that he has to justify himself to us, but there are no updates on Mark’s official Twitter about it, so we’re just going to post the pics and let the speculation and or hilarious captions begin.

After picking out some half-smoked cigarettes with tobacco still attached, Hamill retreats to his luxury BMW.

There he can be seen happily smoking the stubs and throwing the remnants out of his window.

Looking out of shape, 61-year-old Hamill then heads to a burger joint.

Okay so the Smash Burger thing is whatever, the man’s 61 let him have a burger. He’s probably trying to get a few good ones in before Lucasfilm unleashes their personal trainer on him.

9) Grateful Dead

The famous dancing bears crossed over with Yoda, Chewie, a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Who’s the more foolish? The fool who calls on you to toss your dreams away,or the fool who follows and goes astray?

8) Nirvana

The cover of Nevermind was originally intended to be a picture of an underwater birth. The floating naked baby photo turned in to one of the most eyeing catching album covers of all time. I’m so happy, ’cause today I found my friends. They’re in a galaxy far, far away.

7) Sex Pistols

God Save the Queen. How much would the British love a magnificent royal with such amazing fashion sense as Queen Amidala? And ironic that through her own political connections she inadvertantly helped Palpatine rise to Emperor of a Galactic Republic (fascist regime).

6) ACDC

There’s actually several Star Wars ACDC crossovers out there. This one makes me giggle the most.

5) Iron Maiden

For the Maiden fans, a rockin’ crossover.

4) John Lennon

A spoof of the iconic photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s nude embrace.

3) Pink Floyd

There are a few great Pink Floyd / Star Wars crossovers out there. This one is a particular favorite of mine. Wish you were the droid I’m looking for.

2) The Beatles

Arguably the Jedi of Rock & Roll, what’s cooler than the Beatles with lightsabers? Your argument is invalid.

1) KISS

My number one favorite Star Wars crossover is this rib tickling version of our favorite characters in the infamous KISS makeup.

If you have a crossover you’d like to share, tell us about it. Perhaps we can feature your top 10 picks as well.

As I watched the story and learned what Face Blindness is, I realized I totally have this. I can never remember which waitress is serving my table, I have to meet someone and hear their name several times before it sticks and if I haven’t seen a person in a while I’m surprised by how much my memory has distorted what the person actually looks like.

Until recently, it was thought that very few people suffer from prosopagnosia. The condition has traditionally been studied in individuals who acquire the disorder following neurological damage (typically from stroke or head injury), and a handful of case studies were reported in the literature in the 20th century. However, it has recently become clear that many more people suffer from prosopagnosia without experiencing neurological damage. This form of the disorder is commonly referred to as “developmental” or “congenital” prosopagnosia, and these individuals simply fail to develop normal face processing abilities despite normal intellectual and perceptual functions. Developmental prosopagnosics have suffered from the face recognition impairment for most of their lives, perhaps since birth. Recent evidence suggests there may be a genetic contribution to developmental prosopagnosia, and several case studies report at least one first-degree relative who also suffers from the face recognition impairment.

Now I feel better knowing I’m not the only person that gets embarrassed by always forgetting what people look like and having trouble placing names and faces. Maybe Brad and I should both get this checked out.

Quite a bit. And I’ve been to some wild parties and been the cause of many of stories over the years, but I can’t say that I’ve ever been to a jam quite like this before.

Would I like to? Hell yeah.

Beer Of Thrones is a parody video that I found on Youtube during their comedy week. Featured on Comediva it shows us what would happen if somebody showed up at our doorstep with a case of Beer Of Thrones… what else? Party time!

But here’s the joke, there actually IS a “Beer of Thrones”, well… sort of. Brewery Ommegang and HBO have partnered up to line of beers based on the popular series. Iron Throne, a blonde ale, is the first beer in the series and it’s inspired by the Douchebag King himself.

“With a Lannister currently on the throne, it made sense to do a delicate, but piercing Golden Blonde Ale with Noble hops” says Phil Leinhart, Ommegang’s brewmaster. “Iron Throne is certainly fair in color and soft in appearance, yet it still possesses a complexity and bite to be on guard for.”

I don’t know about all that if we’re referring to King Joffrey of the House BrotherLandsister, but I like where they’re going with this.

You can find out more about Ommegang here, and in the meantime, grab yourself a drink and let the games begin.

Comedian and actor Ricky Gervais, a long time opposer of organized religion  has been very vocal about this flaw in our logic. As a result, he stirred backlash on Twitter for those tweeting #PrayForOklahoma and has instead encouraged everyone to tweet #ActuallyDoSomethingForOklahoma. And I have to admit he has a strong point.

As such, I want to make sure everyone has access to a legitimate charity where your money will aid victims of these tragedies. Please visit the Red Cross and open not only your heart and mind, but your wallet. Be generous.

If you prefer to have something tangible in exchange for your donation, please visit Must Stash to purchase these lovely t-shirts created by Mike McMahon, admin of The Classic Nerd Facebook page. Shirts are $20.00 and 100% of proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross.

Much love from Mayzie.
