Tacky little Flash animations with tacky little (yet infectious) songs. Ugh, they’re the polyester of the internet. Yet.. yet.. every once in a while, one must don the polyester. [source: webzen] The twisted films of PES yields up drowning nut and the scandalous roof sex. Very cute; but then rogue peanut comes on and taps…

Look, another photo that goes from interesting to positively enchanting when viewing in tiny size! And shockingly enough, it scares me in no way. Perhaps because of the size of the work, the fish seem vulnerable, containable — too abstract to be of any danger to me. This is the work of the person, Ã…,…

A lot of time on my hands and a need to keep busy = a quilt made in record time. You can see my flickr craftbox [start at the bottom] for more images. I’m going to take a class in machine quilting in September. Need more technique, more skills, more muscle for my mind. Keeping…

I am angry. Angry that no one bothered to hip me to the existence of Amy Winfrey and her incredible animations. Until now. Big thanks to KO who offered up Muffin Films, which led me to Making Fiends, and, once I’m done watching them, I’ll move on to Big Bunny. Oh my, genius. I feel…

My friends Hillary and Danny gave me a quilt this weekend. A quilt from Montana! Made by Amish (or so I believe). I can’t wait till I get to share the pics with you. Meanwhile, at left is the quilt I started piecing tonight. Oooourrrrggh. I find at this point of creation I always have…

I don’t get as much spam as I used to (although I’m sure the spam-valanche will come again) and I kind of miss those stupid names and subject lines. Like this one I just got: doorstep is halvah but dapper. More fun with unwanted email: Steven Frank draws Spamusement, “poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam…

I work at a university Physics Department, Monday through Wednesday. It’s a good fit, great bennies, awful (AWFUL) commute, low stress. Pretty decent. Except for that commute (sorry, but I live in SoCal now. Traffic is a perpetual scab pickin’ subject). But man, for some reason, this week was kicked into some kind of delicious…
