fun & cute cute stuff

Something for me to look forward to: A New Reality: 8 Successful Transplant Patients.

Here are some signs the fans at baseball games have made lately, not the funniest thing I've ever seen, but enjoyable because they're the voice of the people somehow.

The artlist formally known as AWFUL. I wonder why. You all can take your pseudo outsider art and do something really painful with it. (Like put it up in your house!)

This is my brother's Yahoo! Profile.

This can't work: LitterFree Self Washing Cat Box definitely, definitely watch the demo. All Adam & I would ever hear is *flush* pause *flush* pause *flush* pause *flush* pause.

I'm Sick And I Cannot Go To School Today 

by Shel Silverstein 


"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I'm going blind in my right eye. 

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox.

And there's one more ... that's seventeen!

And don't you think ... my face looks green? 

My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke. 

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains. 

My nose is cold, my toes are numb,

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my spine is weak.

I hardly whisper when I speak. 

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent - my spine ain't straight.

My temperature is one-o-eight. 


My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is ... 

... WHAT? 


What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is ... Saturday? 
 
 
 
 

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Even more good news, that I forgot to mention: Adam's movie is in yet another film festival! The Rogue Fest 2002 International Short Film Festival, that would be so great for Adam to go to! GO ADAM!!!! GO Johnny O!

Check out the diablo blanco version of Wesley Willis: Les Wilson.

One thing I forgot to mention about my trip was the World's Longest Garage Sale (450 miles long!) that I went to on the first weekend I was there. It was neeto! My mom bought a watermelon from the 7 year old kid that grew it. I got a funny birdcage like this one except the birds are made of chicken feathers and they tweet if there are loud noises. Plus I got a funny metal made in China bowl–you can't put in the microwave but it's ok because it's actually bigger than my microwave anyhow. GO 127!

Man Shot Over Wedgie

Tennessee was nice! I had major anxiety attacks from being trapped in a car for so long, but I'm getting over it. That's good, right? We went golfing with mom, dad, uncle Joe & aunt LuLu. It was a nice break, but now I need another vacation. I didn't sit in front of a nerdbox once! Wowza. I saw a turkey, many white crosses along the side of the road, a groundhog, tons of people dressed in creamsicle orange, a hummingbird, a lot of spiders and ants, and a brochure for Dollywood.

Ok. Yeah, so I'm gone till a week from Monday. I'm trying to take my nerdbox with but internet connection may be unlikely. I'll have to check that out, thanks self, for reminding me!
I hope you all are having a fun summer. Please let me know how your life is, come here and share.

Oh man, you are the coolest drunk ever!!!

Hey that's pretty cool, the 2002 Knit Hat Show.

Superfluous.com is a lot like Spillway.com

Rollerskating Pagliacci

Here, I was arresting the dribbled one of my clothes of clown, so that it did not come to the face when I jumped.

I had no idea about this factoid.

Burning Brush Art Auctions Sounds like fun. What's it like to sell art on Ebay?

Bored? Got a dollar? Dollar Origami Shirt Quick! Hide it under your desk! Here comes your boss! Oh, he sees it, too late. Hey! He loves it and takes it to show everyone and pockets it to show his girlfriend at home and you never see your dollar again. It was still worth your time and effort.

This is my favorite dancin' man in Elvis' latest hit. It has a video, A Little Less Conversation (VS. JXL). (Real Video format) You might not want to play it at work only because the song is so catchy you will play it over and over in the background while you're doing your work. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. A little on the euro-cheese side, but fun.

Why does the Thrifty Dutchman only have one star?

I read a big article in the Sunday Trib. a few weeks ago about the lady that took over as the director of Chicago's Animal Care & Control department. She is trying to get people to come to the pound to adopt & actually rescue the animals instead of the animals being euthanized (which is the case for the vast majority of the animals that come in for various reasons–some are not allowed to be adopted if they're not suitable pets or if they have severe injuries). From what the article said, people tend not to go to the pound because they think the animals are diseased and no good, but I can tell you that Pussy Galore was a stray from the skumbag streets of Baltimore and she's the greatest cat ever! Plus, it's very cheap to adopt through the pound, they even put the micro chip in for you. Yea!!!

Bored? I found you a oekaki drawing board!

Fun fun fun: Christopher Ryniak.

Hah! From the Frugal Knitting Haus, (I didn't make the name of the site up) a free pattern for Richard Simmons Workout accessories one size fits all!

I forgot to talk about seeing Mommie Dearest again for the first time in at least 10 years. Oh man, go rent it. Plus check out the link above because it's very funny with great sound cllips. You're in for a really campy treat if you haven't seen it. Also, here's a link that will take you to ApeCulture's experience on the 20th anniversary of the book & mother's day extravaganza.

The cats have forced me into buying two more tacky planters from Ebay. Their choices were the ones you see above. !!!! EM PLEH

Ransom Letter from MEOW the cats.

You can contribute to the new version of the Book of Kells here The Flaming Fire Illustrated Bible.

What fun at howdypardner.com.
Come on in and set a spell is the site's command.

Bad Idea Craft Project How could you make this look nice? Maybe someone's grammie can? But after you made this, WHERE WOULD YOU PUT IT!?

Yeah, I'm now officially the dizzy blonde people think I am. I had to go home from work early yesterday because I couldn't look at my monitor or read or look out the car window without feeling disoriented. I think that I have/had weird eye strain or something, I have no idea what–ear infection maybe that too.

I saw this fantastic documentary last night, called Mai's America. It was very sweet and sad, just like the main person, Mai, a Vietnamese 17 year-old. She experiences backwoods redneck Mississippi America, not the Hollywood fantasyland she thinks it is before she arrives...

Another Groty food item: the hot dog octopus.

One of the coolest people online, Miss Brandy was so kind to send this fantastic link of krazy ebay kitty. I followed up that with Kitchy Kitty site! It's beautiful day in the neighborhood now.

WoW! another groty food item! I love finding gross foods. Somewhat like these peeps.

Sad: Buy Me A Hooker.com exists. I wonder if that guy knows. (warning- gratuitous boobies, though small, exist at the bottom of the page)

Mark Llama, Gerbil Farmer weird but with a good ending and the most un-unibrowed member of REM!

Awwwww! Adam used a roll of film for kitties and his painting (like 10 pictures of the same painting whatevah!!!) Here's some great sleepin' yawnin' kitties! I think he must have had 200 speed film on a funny indoor setting because they're extremely yellow.

Hmmm... Maybe I've found my Christmas gifts to make. One year, I did make ornaments out of eggs for a lot of people in my family, they were very cool, but Pysanky looks so very cool and surprisingly affordable to try with a kit. I have to wait for payday to order :( DOH!
( Oh, another crafty thing–I finally dyed the curtains. They turned out beautiful, but I think my color choices were weak. I am going to dye another layer of deep moss green over the pernod yellow and rosy ochres which came out as chartreuse and dark fuscia- needless to say, they didn't match our room and looked minorly hippy nouveau. )

While driving into work this morning, I saw this little old black dude sitting on a bench waiting for the bus smoking a cigar, wearing the same outfit as the man on the right is modeling. I think we were in Skokie. I think he had escaped.

Did you notice that supergreg's site is now owned by Levi's? Corporate piracy?

Ok. I understand now why Brian Wilson was using this poster for a recent tour. I found this magazine cover today. But shhhh! it's a secret!

A definitely cool mom: she's Compulsively Crafty, as found on Leann's site. How do I know that she is definitely cool? THE KNITTED PIG of course!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEG!
She recently made a photo album. If you look in the 90's you can see my boobs hanging out at our graduation from the art institute. Plus in the same decade is the photo I took of her in my dorm room. Have a happy happy happy day Meg!

Yeah, this isn't that exciting, but I finally fixed the tagboard on this page!
