Thursday Stuff

Still watching the Olympics.  How cute is Quatchi?

The other mascots are cute too, but I want to hug Quatchi.  He's snuggly.

Speaking as a former theatrical costume designer, I do NOT want to hug the bad designers of men's ice skating costumes. Ugh.  This is bizarre.  This looks like a kid's Halloween costume.  And this is just heinous.

I've recently purchased Jon Yusoff's great book Tatting With Rings, so I'm working on some new things.

Thought I'd try out making some earrings, but tatting on a ring is slow for me.  But I'll get it.

Guess what this is.  Just guess.

Nope.  Try again.



Nope.



It's a ramp/sidewalk by my office.  It has enough sand on it to make sand castles, all in the name of preventing falls in the ice.  I am now officially Sick Of Winter.

Moe is back at school today, since Winter Break is over.  (Thank you, Jeebus.)  Unfortunately, Curly is still home, serving out the rest of his current suspension from school.  He should go back on Monday, if he lives that long.  You know, in some species the mothers eat their young.  Hmmm.

Here's a funny that someone sent me today - math can help you find your role model!

I promise you WILL laugh when you find your role model.


NO CHEATING. I was really surprised to find out who my role model was.

FIND OUT WHO TRULY IS YOUR ROLE MODEL..

DON'T SCROLL DOWN YET,

DO THE SIMPLE MATH BELOW, THEN SCROLL DOWN TO FIND YOUR HERO.

It's CRAZY how accurate this is!

No peeking!

1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9
2) Multiply by 3 then
3) Add 3
4) Then again Multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the calculator....)
5) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number.....
6) Add the digits together

Now Scroll down .................



With that number, see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:



1. Einstein



2. Oprah Winfrey



3. Snoopy



4. Bill Clinton



5. Bill Gates



6. Gandhi



7. Ronald Reagan



8. Babe Ruth



9. The Crazy Mom



10. John F. Kennedy



I know, I know....I just have that effect on people. One day, you too can be like me!



P.S. Stop picking different numbers!!



I AM YOUR IDOL, JUST DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!

Seen and Searched

Loved what I could see of the opening ceremony for the Vancouver  Olympics.  Especially loved the whale images - spouting and swimming - and the very cool prairie grass ballet done to Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now".  I missed k.d. lang singing one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs, "Hallelujah", but found this great clip here.  Curly enjoyed this clip, though he was (of course) totally ignorant of the existence of Ms. lang.  He declared that she is not an alto, but a tenor.  I beg to differ.  (I'm an alto - and I can hit many lower and higher notes than most tenors.)  Anyhow, watch k d long - it's worth it.

Was on the train the other day when it was invaded by a ton of cheerleaders, evidently going to a competition.  They were SO ditzy.  I swear, that stupid white & leopard bow in their hair (worn like this, on top of their heads) sucked what little brain cells they had right out of their heads.  OMG they were silly.  Made me a little glad I only have boys.

Can't someone help this girl find appropriate clothing?

Interesting use for titanium replacement body parts reported here in the first story.  (I had to call a friend & share, it was so funny.)

Sometimes I need more ketchup.  And I like to sing the song
I'm wanting to buy the loom to make this.  Ooooo - want.

And I've been singing this all day - don't know why.


The snow is gone.  But it was pretty at chez Crazy while it lasted.

I almost forgot - Lady Shuttlemaker is having another giveaway - go see!
