Flotsam and Jetsam

I'm just putting the finishing touches on my PVC dance top. Hand-sewing takes forever!

If I'm not finished today, I'll be done tomorrow. Well, I'm still considering tassels for the belt.

Can someone tell me why my skin has been so very dreadful for the past week? I'm not used to looking like a pepperoni pizza. Aren't I twenty years too old for this?

I'm thinking of making Margd, my Malkavian, into a political character. She won't be the politician, but she'll be telling Malicus, her Tzimisce paramour, what to do and when. He's pretty hopeless at power games. He thoroughly fucked up his princedom and lost the city. Now, this will be tricky because I am not politically-minded.

I have dentist appointment this afternoon. I am not looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to divesting myself of the crater in my molar. I look like such a hick with my ever-present toothpick.

At the end of the month, I want to go see Batboy: The Musical. snowy_kathryn and gha5t say they will go, too. There's a special place in my heart for Batboy, and I don't even know why. In university, I wrote a critical essay on the portrayal of Batboy in the Weekly World News. I received an A for my efforts.

And when I went to the craft school, I drew the Batboy for my pointillism assignment. I got a great mark for that, too.

I hope this musical does him justice....

Sweet and sour stamps: I didn't see an ingredients listing, so I don't know if these stamps are vegetarian and/or kosher. I can't imagine these pork-flavoured stamps going over well with certain groups in either case (thanks, Benoit).

Pricasso: NSFW. Artist shows off his unorthodox painting techniques (thanks, Wesley).

Oh, and then there's this gem:

An elderly Romanian man mistook his penis for a chicken's neck, cut it off and his dog rushed up and ate it. It said 67 year-old Constantin Mocanu, from a village near the southeastern town of Galati, rushed out into his yard in his underwear to kill a noisy chicken keeping him awake at night. "I confused it with the chicken's neck," Mocanu, who was admitted to the emergency hospital in Galati, was quoted as saying. "I cut it ... and the dog rushed and ate it." Doctors said the man, who was brought in by an ambulance bleeding heavily, was now out of danger.

I don't believe his story for a second. Penises don't have feathers.

Pricasso, who's real name is Tim Patch, claims to be the only artist who uses his penis to paint.

Uh, not hardly. From today's news in Richmond:


A video on the Web, found by Murmer’s students, showed him painting with his rear. Murmer also used his genitals to create artwork under the alias of “Stan.” (http://www.nbc12.com/news/state/5140762.html)

There can be only one! Maybe it's some sort of Highlander thing, and they'll try to lop one another's heads off. Which heads, I don't know....

But ... but ... he was wearing UNDERWEAR!!! Wtf?!

Maybe it was novelty underwear, like a posing pouch with a chicken motif.

I also loved Batboy. I kept his "wanted" cover on my dormroom door in college.

The musical is dark, and camp, but not quite as wonderful as I'd hoped. It's still worth a watch, though.

Here's hoping this production is great!
