Onigiri bumblebees and exploding steamers

Have spent much of my free time since I got back from lectures doodling things I could make out of onigiri. Not sure why, just feel like it. So far I have a pig, a panda, and a bumblebee as well as playing with ideas for scene type bento boxes - I like the fish tank concept with li'l carrot golfish :3

Yes, it has been a boring week thus far. Can't you just tell?


Watch this all the way through, it's worth it.

Here and here are links to essentially the same article with different details, about Japanese "celebrity cannibal" Issei Sagawa. Freaky stuff.

Alright stop - HAMMER TIME!

"Activate your mechanical serpent while I soar aloft with my magic hammer!"

"The hammer does not return to my hand: I am losing momentum, plunging down!"

Batman-esque "POW"s and "BAM"s.

"This wooden hammer will suffice to keep yon enchanted nightmares at bay!"

"Later, the son of Odin sits upon a lonely promontory, sorely perplexed."

See also: the rainbow bridge, the theme song, the paper cut-out animation.



Best. Cartoon. Ever.

Claymation by Jimbob

By my dear brother - brilliantly funny :D

An uneventful week thus far

Watch this brilliant piece of claymation - great stuff.



I've been thinking - now that Bush is out of office, Mock the Week has lost about 50% of its usual material. Now they shall turn their eye ever more closely to British politics - Saints preserve us.

Ooh ooh

Thought -

Doesn't Obama take over sometime soon? Around the 20th?

Good times ahead I hope.

(What do I keep pressing that makes me hop up a line involuntarily? Keys are too close together on laptops. Also: I wish it had a number pad so I could play Sid Meier's Pirates! properly)

Essays

After 12 hours of brain ache, the essay is finished! I am victorious!

Plan for this evening: Have supper and play Spore. Maybe start a new planet with spiffy new spaceships? OoOoOoh... :D

I should do some comics also. Haven't updated since before the Christmas holiday.

Multivitamins

I've been taking a combination multivitamin and cod liver oil supplement (the Tesco "general wellbeing" brand one) for around a week now, and already I'm feeling the difference in my joints and seeing it in my skin.

Nice to know that occasionally a product actually works!
