Because every week should contain
Something Pretty,
Something Smart,
Something to do,
And a bit of art.
... and also one or two things just for fun.
Something Pretty
## I don't know if this counts as pretty, but it is pretty seriously awesome... and the rest of the stuff at LennyMud is fantastic too.
I would totally roll out of bed and start 'pitying' every 'fo' who got in the way of me and this teapot. love. it.
## Grey skies? no problem. keep a rainbow in your pocket. great idea from Masa-ka.
Something Smart
## Ever read those choose-your-own-adventure novels as a kid? They were my road-trip staple. Love this comic, philosopher's version from Luke Surl:
## If you happen to be a physics geek, like me, or if you've ever read Flatland by Edwin Abbot, you will appreciate This Video from Tenth Dimension. If you hated physics and wouldn't touch Flatland with a 40 foot pole made of duct tape and pool cues... watch it anyway. it will change your mind.
Something to do:
## First.. go Here to Jackson Pollock [dot] org and fingerpaint online. Seriously. GO. i'll wait.
...
ok. you know you feel better now.
## Then look at these...
images found via a cup of jo
and go find some ugly thing you can make beautiful.
A bit of art:
## Since we seem to be on the subject, I'm a huge fan of street art. HUGE (i blame it on a too-young-and-impressionable viewing of Basquiat). I may or may not have defaced certain pieces of public property in the name of art once or ... thrice. these are pretty rad.
pvc pipe! genius.
## and OH MY WORD, look at THESE insane sidewalk chalk images.
and... one for the road...
Remember this - the hug me pillow - it's still just about the creepiest thing i've ever seen.
why would anyone want to share a bed with half a man's upper torso?
it's a valid question.
wonderful weekend wishes to you all.
Graffiti and Ganglion,
