Rainbow Pod Thingie

This is a design that I've been puttering around with, and the colors aren't really showing true here, but you get the general idea. It's still lopsided though because I don't know how to make things symmetrical. Oh well.:)

Weighted Companion Cube, We Love You

Trisha, who is clearly way better at photographing stuff than any of the rest of us, made this amazing keychain based on the cube from the game Portal. And in case you were wondering how eerily accurate this is? Here's what it's based on.

Farce--Jumping Off a Bridge

Charming. Simple. Elegant. Cats.

This stream of consciousness by Ahmad contains one of my favorite paragraphs of all time (the second one, in case you couldn't tell). Narfus, people. N-A-R-F-U-S.

********
There were two birds, one named Flynn and the other named Robert. These birds didn't know what in the world to do with themselves, so they just chirped along, forever and ever. Until one asked the question: Why? Why chirp? Well, there's really not much else I can do, I mean - I'm a bird. That's what birds do. But what if there was something else I could do? Flutter? Sing? Cry? Dance? What does it mean to dance? It's a confusing mess of dialogue, is what it is. I don't want to think anymore. I want to be a bird. I want to chirp.

There was a lion and a smaller cat, a feline, just prowling through a make-believe forest called Narfus. They didn't exist. Neither of them did. But they had fun, nonetheless. Neither of them made a fuss. They didn't have to eat. They didn't have to do anything. It was charming. Simple. Elegant. Cats.

Cats the musical is the type of gameshow that you'll not want to put down, except to have to go to the bathroom. And the bathroom is not a place you'd like to visit. It is a place of harmony of the lower regions of the world.

String of Cranes

Tedd has been making origami cranes out of differently colored/sized paper, and I have been stringing them as he makes them. Here are a few low-quality shots.:) (thing I need most = a new camera).

Apathy and Sunlight

Stream of Consciousness by me--I can't really write commentary for myself, so here it is:)

********

I had another sip of Kool-aid. I took a drag from my cigarette. I was not impressed with your depth or savoir faire. I have heard all of this before. I keep twelve white birds, I let them fly and they always return. They drink cream from my hands like cats; they wash their feathers with pink tongues and mimic your laughter uncannily. They are better company than you, more faithful and more intelligent by bounds and bounds. Coated in a soft light, they fly ships to moon and stars, they oar through milky streams with wings of ivory.

Take a photo; this is all that you get. You will not see me look back, I am covered in angora, I am covered in blood, I am missing teeth, I am whole. Bells are tinging, lights are hovering overhead. I am apathy and sunlight.

Superhero Kitchen Lady!

This is a figure Tedd made from Sculpey--I have basically NO close-up capability and really crappy lighting, so there's no way I can do this figure justice. But he's been doing a series of very simple, faceless action figures lately, and this is one I requested. She has a silver ladle!! And she can fly!!
