In order to justify this post - I'm posting too much tonight, I recognize that - I'm going to drop a few links that I've nipped from other blogs. They're good. Promise.

I am hating on the bathroom cleaning, but it's 90% done - I just have to do something with all those random organizational supplies. Floor is mopped, counter is clean, things are generally pretty and put-away, bathtub was clean to begin with cos I don't use it, Now it would be nice if a bathroom was all I needed to clean, but (bastard!) it's only about 35% of what I need to finish tonight. (Also need to finish: two front hallways, and as much as I can manage of my living room and bedroom, which won't be much. Also, must turn mattress, make up bed, finish laundry, clean up a bit in here.) Argh don't want strangers traipsing through my SANCTUARY tomorrow but what can I do?

Anyway. Your links.

BAD TOON RISING - sooo, ever tried to draw a famous cartoon character from memory? and do you have any artistic skills whatsoever? this site is all about really questionable drawings of Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, etc.

NONEY - like Monopoly, only prettier & potentially more useful. (Can you bring your own Noney into a Monopoly game? What's the exchange rate between two or three different varieties of illegal tender?)

KLEIN BOTTLE - a fabulously paradoxical onesided vessel: it should not exist, but there it is and you can buy it. If the hats were actually better looking, I'd want one. As it is I want the pattern so that I can make something in a nicer colour scheme. (Please note that they do not actually SELL the pattern.)

ASTROLOGY FOR BACTERIA - ok, this one is just for jeca_pereca, because she spends too much time in intimate intellectual contact with one-celled organisms. But some of the rest of you might find it funny, too.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea. - Sir Francis Bacon

(PS - I just logged out to see what I've been posting lately aside from friends-only and private posts. Boy howdy am I particularly boring this week. Sorry about that. The friends-only and private stuff is pretty boring too - the private post was the text of the Yeats poem "Sailing to Byzantium," which I've always loved but didn't think anyone else would want to read. Anyway, stick with me and hopefully my twitching avoidance of housework will eventually pass and this logorrhea will be cured....)

Oh. My. God. The astrology chart for bacteria is absolutely hilarious. I forwarded the link to all of my scientist friends. And yes, you gotta be the scientist to get it. Otherwise, it's probably not all that funny and fairly boring...
