I was born in an ostrich egg in the center of a corn maze, Leaping Deer Legends Corn Maze just outside of Waterloo Ontario. A loon showed me the way out. In all those years prior I never saw the deer though some insist they're there. It remains a place of faith for some which is how I was raised and that to look for the animals was akin to searching for evidence of the divinity of God. And that to

Hobgoblins know the proper way to dance:
Arms akimbo, loopy legs askew,
Leaping into darkness with delight,
Lusting for the ecstasy of fright,
Open to the charm of horrors new….

I had this wine with a bowl of pasta with marinara, and it was perfect. In fact the back of the bottle reads:
“First choice, enjoy with great company and [...]

Jade Dragon Snow MountainJade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) is the second place we visited in Lijiang, which was our original main focus. My expectation on this attraction was much higher than what we got. I later learnt there are 2 routes to view the mountain, one could be nearer to the snow mountain but would probably more demanding on physical strength.Due to high altitude, we get tired easily. Though we didn’t get any altitude sickness, I’m glad we didn’t go the other route coz at the end of this trip I was exhausted. There was some uphill walk (very minimal).This is the cable care that we took that brought us nearer to the mountain. Without that, I guess we won’t be able to make it in such short timing! :p This cable car is very similar to the one that we used in

==========Bad Doctor!A man goes to the hosital because he is having pains in his stomach. He tells the doc what is wrong and the doc says "You have constipation, you will need to take one of these suppository's every 6 hours for a week. I can help you with the first one." So, reluctantly, the man drops his pants, bends over, and the doc shoves it in.Later, at home, he is having a little trouble inserting the next one, so he asks his wife for help. He tells her what to do, drops his pants and bends over. She then puts one hand on his shoulder and starts pushing it in. "Damn!" the guy screams, "What? Did I hurt you?" his wife replies. "No," said the man "But I just realized something...the doctor put 2 hands on my shoulders!!!"
Really cool award-winning video from Netherlands scientists. Strange things called the Kay Effect happen when shampoo is poured in a stream to a surface below. It's interesting and beautiful. Julia h/t to Johan at NRO Friday, April 20, 2007The Kaye...
I saw this video yesterday and thought that was amazing. I wanted to run out to Costco and buy a huge container of shampoo and try it. I am sure my son would not mind helping me in setting it up. I decided I should resist though and hold out to try the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment instead. Tags: kaye effect, physics, youtube, video, videorambler
A while back, I wrote how Keri Smith's article in HOW magazine inspired the heck out of me. One of the things she says is to find something you love and believe in. "It's as simple a letter saying, 'I like what you're doing. Can I be involved somehow? Here's what I do.' "
In that spirit, I contacted a new favorite magazine of mine, Kiwi Magazine. It's for families that are trying to live as healthy and organically as possible. I wrote them a note saying what a fan I was, and that my artwork was exactly what their magazine needed. I pointed out that not only did I make great illustrations, but that I lived the spirit of their magazine and that I would be perfect for them. I sent them over a bunch of links and images, including my old favorite "Balance" that I did for Illustration Friday almost exactly 2 years ago. I sold the heck out of myself, and then I was so excited and nervous, I couldn't get to sleep. But seriously, what was the worst thing that could happen? They alre
