Jan. 24th, 2009 02:51 pmI rarely do these things, but I like this one.
The first six people to respond to this post will get something made by me. It will be about or tailored to those six who respond first.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. (Although let me know if you have any allergies)
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a mix tape. It may be a short work of fiction, or a poem. I may draw or paint something. I might bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well, if you expect me to do something for you!

Jan. 24th, 2009 02:56 pmThis is an excerpt from 1999's Burn the Floor
, a show featuring 44 of the world's champion Latin and ballroom dancers. I don't know who these dancers are, but I love the energy and costumes. I really wish the film work was less MTV, though. Gah.

Jan. 24th, 2009 03:36 pmMy shortest-ever weird dream happened the night before last. It was simply this: I dreamed I was tea-bagged by Hitler.
Don't ask, because I have no idea.
Link time.
Lunchbag Art: Every day, a dad decorates lunchbags for his kids. I think that rocks (thanks, Ted).
Diary of a Pakistani Schoolgirl: "A Pakistani seventh grade schoolgirl is writing a diary after Taleban militants in the troubled north-western Swat district ordered schools to close as part of an edict banning girls' education. Militants seek to impose their austere interpretation of Sharia law and have destroyed about 150 schools in the last year. News of further attacks and a Taleban invitation to public floggings appears in the latest extracts of the diary, which first appeared on BBC Urdu online."
Insane Feats of Strength: This guy blows me away. I am amazed. It's also compelling evidence that you don't need expensive equipment to get in shape (thanks,gha5t).
Andrew Wyeth died (last week, I think). Though he has been derided as a pop artist, I have no shame in admitting I love his artwork, and find it very moving. The German is one of my favourite paintings of his. The model is Karl Kuerner who had been a German soldier in WWI (I think).
