Nothing is SUPPOSED to Work as Planned, Right?

[shanmonster]

My vacation is all screwy! I wanted to spend today doing dance, but the carpet cleaners came by, and my livingroom and kitchen are unusable for another seven hours or so. So I'm confined to my room, where I must do reading and web stuff.

Good news, though. I did finish my leather dance belt yesterday. Pictures are forthcoming. I wanted to start work on the bra today, but I can't get to my stuff. It'll have to wait. Sigh....

In the meantime, check this stuff out!

Its a stretch: Man, 50, pulls truck with penis: Kung fu people are weird, man.

Plush Plagues Bag: Jews are weird, too.

Chicken Hats: I sooooooo need to learn how to knit.

The 11-Year Quest to Create Disappearing Colored Bubbles: "Chemical burns, ruined clothes, 11 years, half a million dollars—it's not easy to improve the world's most popular toy. Yet the success of one inventor's quest to dye a simple soap bubble may change the way the world uses color."

Subversive Cross Stitch: Punk DIY handicrafts, I guess.

Heir-Loomed Classics: "Evening jump suit kit. 'The femme fatale with the Lacy Peek-a-Boo Look' as romantic as candlelight." I'm ashamed to admit I would wear this.

In other news, I'm putting together an essence of ShanMonster audio cd. It is guaranteed to fill your brain with unease. I am uncomfortable with charging money for them, since I didn't make the sounds on the CD, but if you want one, I think $3 should cover costs for the shipping and the blanks.

Interested?

Unease, huh?
What tracks are you planning to put on it?

It will be a surprise, but I'm guessing most people won't have ever heard the songs before. It's a vast miscellany of unrelated bizarreness, with pop, 1950s exotica, animal techno, instructional sound-clips, and experimental "music." I don't think it will generally count as easy-listening, and I can't see it being background music, but I'm certain it will give you a different sort of cerebral workout.

It won't be unlistenable, either (well, maybe a little bit).

CD

Yeah, sounds cool. Just in time for the holidays, right? I wouldn't mind getting a hold of one.

I'd better get a wiggle on, then!

I'd love one of the CDs. The soundtrack to the Shanmonster's brain is bound to be twisted in a delightful way... sign me up. I'm at joeyplaid@gmail.com if you want to send details...

Will do! I'm still mapping it out, and trying to provide balance to something which can't possibly be balanced. Heh...

I love Master Tu. He looks like a pro-wrestler.

One of Jin-Shengs most famous students, a 70-year-old man in Taiwan, is said to have lifted more than 660 pounds with his penis.

Jesus Christ on a bicycle. I'd be happy do do even half of that on my bench press. But that thing about him pulling a 60-foot truck with another man? That sounds, you know, gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I love the Subversive Cross-Stitch that says "Irony is Not Dead".

How would one get you the $3? I can't use paypal.

For small amounts like that, sending Well Concealed Cash ought to do it (i.e. small bills in a card or something). If there aren't any 1's left in your area, send a 5$, and Shan will either refund the difference when she sends the CD (if we have 1$ bills lying around, which MIGHT be the case) or include an additional 2$ worth of something as a surprise. It's Shan, you never know what you'll get. ;-D

I can't wait to make a 40"x60" afghan in less than 50 hours!
