Nothing is SUPPOSED to Work as Planned, Right?

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?

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).
