MARCH! YES! WAY more in the 'net

I'm going to show you *right now*  how much February sucks, but showing you how much, only 11 days in, March is so much better.


Here is what I found in the 'net this week:

There are many more.  So good.

How amazing is this dad!!



a fun musical mashup
Although I was never a fan of NIN, or CRJ for that matter, I understand *just* enough to be thoroughly amused by this mashup!

Grab a tissue.  Then go hug someone.  I hope I can give support like his family give.  I hope I have the courage Tim has.



and for good measure:

Have a good week!

What did you find in the 'net this week?

Only a couple reasons why consuming sugar daily isn't good for you.  AND it's cute.

oh Sophia!

I have friends who make things.  La and Nat made letters (and got featured here!)  (aka the font Simon sans)

TINY ROOMS!!

mondays fresh catch (or what I found in the 'net)

last weeks catch:


Another great video that makes me want to go to Burning Man.  I really enjoyed the music on this one.


My friend Japhet is a bartender extrodinare.  A featured drink!  (hey, just 'cause I don't drink, doesn't mean I'm not proud of Japhet and his successes!)


The Science of productivity!  My previous post makes me all smug.  I'm going in the right direction!

Super neat idea.  Time to scour thrift stores.  Also, ribbon.  And I think I'd make them bunting/triangles.

fishing (net finds)

some fun things from the internet last week


One of the people who have taught me clown, Mark, does improv and hosts his own morning radio show!  if you are up early enough (generally 6:30 am - 10 am) take a listen! 


Another friend is making a movie!


and, well, a beautiful moment in music.  Stick with it.  You don't want to miss the grand finale xylophone face.

I figured it out! and a giftmas rant

I had been wanting to keeps a regular schedule here.  I figured out why I haven't been.
We're sharing this computer, and not just as a computer, but as our tv too.  So when J is home (or awake), I don't like to sit here and type away.

I'll keep at it, and post when I can.

I don't have a planned menu, and I didn't troll the internet much this week.

I Am working on Christmas presents. 

Last night I made home made Lip blam.  I'll post a tutorial soon!

I'm making pajamas, out of sheets!

I'm making packs of 3 greeting cards for my extended family.

Coasters.  and I potted some plants.

We're not buying anything this year.  I *had* vowed not to buy any materials either, but that didn't happen.  I have spent (much) less than $100 though.


My Assistant Store Manager's family has a rule for Christmas presents.  No cash, gift cards or anything homemade.  I kinda get the cash thing.  But eventually you run out of *stuff* to buy, and everyone end up with junk they don't need.  MIL is like that.  I get a big gift bag of stuff.  99% of it I don't need, or even want.

I totally understand the want to give.  That is why I make things.  I can't afford to buy.  And I *would* if I had the money.  I'd be going to local stores, and local craft shows, and buying things that are fun, and that I know people will like.  My favorite story to tell about last years haul, was my 9 bars of soap.  And the fact that that's all I remember about it...it makes me sad.

last week and this week

This weeks menu:

Monday was steak and salad
Tuesday:  Squash soup
Wednesday: Fish and chips
Thursday: Pork roast with Broccoli
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be 'scrounging'  J is away with Pickle, and when J is away I eat whatever!  Leftovers, kitchen sink soup, chicken liver and beets.

And now for the stuff I caught in the 'net last week and didn't throw back:

Some people assume that because I like being on stage I'm an extrovert.   I'm not.  I call myself an introverted Leo.  "look at me!"  but don't talk to me.  I'm busy, being alone.
