My lil bro recreated an old family photograph:
A picture of four kids in an inflatable raft, three of them smiling and one of them near tears. A painting of four Muppets in an inflatable raft, three of them smiling and one of them (Beaker) in tears.

Hey thanks, it's a Bean
A cartoon of a distinguished, balding man talking into a mirror, saying, "My turtleneck? It's an L. L. Bean. Oh, my turtleneck? Got it at L. L. Bean. Hey thanks, it's a Bean." The cartoon is titled, "Holiday Practice."

My favorite part of this incredible game is that you get to play as your favorite font!
The cover of the game Typeset by Jasper Beatrix from DVC Games. The words, "In TYPESET, you utilize randomly drawn letters alongside a limited bank of vowels to form words from left to write, trying to make them as long as you can. Clever players will complete mini-goals and use varied abilities to adjust their odds and rush to a scorable victory. Those who get stuck may face letters they can't use and take penalties. In the end, a little risk and a lot of creativity makes this one of our favorite projects. Not to mention all the references to the history of letterpress printing."

Favorite one: "At night, you can hear it rustling and slurping water out of the bucket."
A page from The Twelve Terrors of Christmas by John Updike: "4. O Tannenbaum. Suppose it topples over under its weight of bomb-shaped baubles? Suppose it harbors wood-borers which will migrate to your furniture? There is something ghastly about a tree -- it's look of many-limbed paralysis, it's shaggy and conscience-less aplomb -- encountered in the open, let alone in the living room. At night, you can hear it rustling and slurping water out of the bucket."

Late night at the school. Exhausted. First heavy snow of the year. A reason to celebrate.
A picture of an empty parking lot in a thick snow storm. Golden Street lights. Slick pavement. A picture of a street light in a thick snow storm with horizontal snow blurring past.

This book (bought in a store in Edinbrugh) has been helpful, especially in understanding changes in far right groups in the last twenty or so years.

Told my stepmum about how the house we bought had some *strange energy* at night (seller was a police officer for 40 yrs, we found a copy of the History of the 3rd Reich and Ayn Rand in the basement, along with a creepy music doll) so she bought us some sage.

Ah, yes! "All utensils are incorrect." I think of this as: utensils should approximate how we would eat the food without utensils, which is why I mostly prefer chopsticks over forks.
A screen shot from the Larry David speedboat commercial where he says "why do I need a fork? I got 10 of them right here!" And wiggles his fingers in the air.
