Ambiguity

Thank you to AO who made me this lovely Ambigram, inspired by last week's post. Ambigrams can be read upside down or upside right. They are truly, truly fun little critters! *runs off to create one for herself*

You can make a quick ambigram for yourself here.

An Eye for Annai

So darn cute I had to post it...

Thomas Broome

A room is worth a thousand words...

Graffiti

Bedeck the page...

(Or you could demonstrate. That's fun, too!)

IMAGINATION STATION

Close your eyes for a moment (well, not right now. Wait till you've read the whole paragraph) and imagine this: a ball of fire in a vast empty space. Spend at least ten seconds picturing this ball of fire. (Now close your eyes)

Done?

Good!


I used to do these stupid self-analyzation games with my family, but this isn't one of them. It's just a simple exercise to appreciate how people imagine things differently. Realistically, we all spin around the same ball of fire on a yearly basis. It's sort of our point of reference, but there is no indication that we will all recreate that same ball of fire in our minds when given the freedom.
Now answer these three questions for yourself and the fireball in your own head: What color was it? How big (relatively) was it? How high were the flames or eruptions, if there were any?

ANIMATE

Quick and dirty cartooning*

(stolen from Steve DeGroof's Multiply page.)

(it doesn't have to be dirty, but it probably would help...)

Be Jackson Pollock

Pretty straight forward, actually.

Go nuts.

Drawing On A Blank

There's just something about a Blank T-Shirt...

Makes me wanna cover it with something sassy.

You?

Caricature Yourself

This is what I think I look like. [It looks a bit like Madonna, don't you think?]

Caricature King

Have a little fun with Al Hirschfeld. A giant in the cartoon and caricature industry whose career spanned many decades. (Shown here left to right: Gregory Peck as Horatio Hornblower and Maurice Chevalier as, well, himself.)

Coffee as Art

Makes me wanna go make a cuppa and doodle.

Cheap Screen Printing Tips

This is one clever girl! Worldgineer sent it. Thanks, World.

"stop on a dime"

What kids think of when you use idioms. (Thanks, Jeff, for the link!)

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

Get in on the Ground Floor! McNinja is off and running! New story to be added today!

(creds to Calum for the find... Weirdo!)

The Masters of the Universe Coloring Book

I'm pretty sure this is the funniest He-Man coloring book review in the world. Best part is, there are two stories for the price of one here, so keep reading. And don't forget to play the games at the end!

(Thanks to Letsbuildafort for the link.)

Coloring Fun!

What do you think He-Man and Teela see? Send images to me for posting.

Carve Yourself a Happy Little Pumpkin

Halloween's not my favorite holiday. I'm just gonna admit that right now. I'm not big into the scaring of other people or the smearing of fake blood on little children's faces. I could do without this holiday entirely if it weren't for the fact that as a theatrical type personage dressing in extravagant costumes and parading around in them is almost a requirement of my existence.

If I were a super cool blogger, I would design and create a little flash game where you could dress me up in Halloween costumes that you design and then I would hold a little contest and the best costumes would win a dorky prize or whatever. But I'm not that super cool. Instead I'll point you to this little pumpkin carving game where you click and hold the mouse to carve the features of your pumpkin and then it lights it with a candle for you. Simple and fun.

HeroMachine Character Generator

Go ahead! Waste your time. I did and I'm a better person for it.

Hall of Shame

I burnt another bag of popcorn in the microwave at work. As I rushed to the smoldering microwave I made a plan of action: I whipped the door open, inhaled a lungful of smoke, pinched the bag shut burning my fingers and staining my hand and rushed out of the office, down the hall and out the back to the construction dumpster. I chucked the billowing bag of smoke up onto the heap and walked back to my desk. The construction workers were laughing and applauding. I smiled and bowed.

Now my office reeks and my fingers make me look like a chain smoker.

5 packs a day. Popcorn habit.

Tara drew me this picture:

Do you do this?

I know I'm guilty. Found at Toothpaste for Dinner, of course.
