I saw an article on one of these underwater hotels/resorts while browsing magazines in my doctor's office yesterday. They're very cool but also
very expensive:

I've heard of this, but didn't know if it had actually been built yet. Thanks, JAH!

I believe only one has been built so far, this one off of the coast of Dubai:
There are actual photos in the latest issue of
Island magazine. Yes, my doctor is a Buffett fan.
You can read more about this and other futuristic hotels here:

I thought it was a Bill Murray movie

That, it is and pretty cool one at that. I know I'll never hear David Bowie songs the same way again.

I honestly didn't care for the movie. Just not my taste....it didn't seem to know when it wanted to be a drama and when it wanted to be a comedy.

It WAS cool, but in a different way than we expected. I forgot about the David Bowie stuff...thanks for reminding me

Oh, I didn't like it nearly as much as
Lost In Translation but it was still visually stunning and a bit strange.

Which I usually like. Just not this time.

Caddyshack, it ain't. I watched that the other night for the first time in years and marveled at how Bill Murray has turned into such a terrific comic actor but not at all in the mold of his SNL days.

I think they're getting ready to build one of these in the Bahamas:

Seems pretty cool, but $1500 a night is a little out of my price range.

I find all of this totally amazing and wonder how long I could stay there without getting claustrophobic. Given the choice between space and undersea ... definately under sea for me.
