eyeball right angles, center of circles, 3 lines converging, dissecting an angle, etc. Oh the worst for me is making a parallelogram.
like untangling christmas lights, yarn, etc. only with more and more for each level more points the faster you get it (if you have hours on your hands)
Let's not forget about the snowflake making sites!
Snow Days and Make-a-flake which is the one where I made this a few years ago:
There is no way I could do anything half that cool again.
Maybe you'll remember back in October, me trying to get a head start on the year end music voting/contest thing they do on WXPN and posting this. Maybe not. Anyway, I think I'm ahead of the game doing that. Well, sort of. WXPN decided to add top 10 SONGS of the year too. And the contest is a drawing to win a 50 inch plasma screen hi-def tv.
You don't have to be a member to enter or win. Vote here, if you care to.
So I compiled my list of top ten songs of the year (and added Mike Doughty's "Sad Man, Happy Man" to the album list, since I only had 9 in October)
and here they are.
- Illinois---- Hang On
- Mexican Institute of Sound--Sinfonia Agridulce
- Gomez--Airstream Driver
- Empire of the Sun--We Are The People
- Guerrilladelphia--Unstoppable
- Vic Chesnutt--Chain
- East Hundred--Slow Burning Crimes
- Jack Penate--Tonight's Today
- Sondre Lerche--Good Luck
- Mexican Institute of Sound--Reventon
(I had a hard time with #10 so I just repeated a band.)
Oh Vox, I really hate your fucking formatting. It really CHAPS MY ASS.
I give up or I will be here all night.
Just a sampling but they are all in my Vox library should anyone give a flying crap!
This book is - disappointing. The premise - that the world blacks out, millions die, and most people who don't die have a vision of the future - is good. The visions are true ones, can be collaborated, checked and include such wonders as flying cars. But (I betcha knew a but was coming) it fails in the execution. Mostly average, occasionally brilliant and sometimes dire, I would still recommend this.
Just don't expect too much.
When Michelle & I went to the Outer Banks of NC in September, we stopped by a really nice store called Sandy Bay Gallery. After making our jewelry purchases and chatting with the owner, we walked back outside and stopped to admire the hippo pottery. But oh look! Hippo Mouth has a resident!
Is that the blurpiest little frog ever? The shop owner saw us looking and came out and said he lives in there, and that sometimes there is another one that hangs out close by. But before I could get more photos inside the hippo, she coaxed him out onto the wall:
and that is about half of my vacation photos right there....
One small world, folks.
One small world, one life each.
Why fuck it all up.
I just had a wrong number. For Elric.
What is the first thought that goes through your head?
Cos mine was Elric? Fuck! Will he have Stormbringer and call on the Dukes of Hell?
Not good on a Friday evening.
How about a bullet list? Cos I am seriously not up to much, but it has been soo long since I posted anything of note.
- When Husband said to Daughter OK, what is it you want to talk about, then? I think the properties of light and its structure were the last things he expected to hear. Open University course on physics has now been paid for (by Daughter), so we might get more of those sort of questions in the future.
- This has has been struck by plague. Eldest Son had three weeks off work, so of course he got flu halfway through his holiday, passing it on first to Daughter and then to Me. Husband was in Rome, networking in the computer world, and seems to have missed it. Middle Son and Youngest both got it very lightly indeed.
- Daughter has had her first Celebrity Sighting since starting a new job in Hampstead = Russell Brand and Katy Perry. Though when she rushed out the door to look, he was staring at it, so she was red faced and embarrassed. Apparently Hampstead has a LOT of celebrities.
- And French men selling onions and garlic from bicycles, though not with a beret or a striped jumper. darn.
- Fireworks make Heidi WOOF!
