Mar. 25th, 2011 08:52 amContinuing the theme of the Words Words Words I did yesterday, hopefully with even more peace love and understanding;)-
I did say the other day the car was encased in ice, right? Well, this was taken in front of my office 15 hours after the car made it home safely, got garaged, and was then driven round several miles on a fiendishly sunny post-snowstorm day.
(I know, nice parking job, huh.)
----
Waiting for me in the office was something even stranger than the parking job:
That THING on the left is a Puppy Cow, a Kickstarter project of the immensely talented, if rather slightly ill, artist Jamie Noguchi, which I helped fund to buy the production-line time that turned his brilliant, sick, adorable, twisted project into reality. (Emily got me the THING on the right; it supposedly resembles a baseball.)
I asked the first three people I saw what they thought, and Jamie got, pretty much, the reactions he was shooting for:
Awww how cute!
Innnnn.....teresting....
and a flat-out That's hideous.
Yup. And we now eat dinner with it every night;)
----
Finally, some performance art:
I kinda like how it came out- similar in some ways to the opening-title effects of Vertigo, which we watched last night on our Kurrent Kick of Hitchcock films- but it came out that way mainly because I was in a mixed state of shocked, horrified and morbidly amused at the moment of the capture.
That was taken from atop the elliptical, which, although I'd managed to stop its motion, I obviously did little to stop mine. I was enrapt at that moment by the sight of one of the workout warrioresses down on the free-weight floor. She was atop the horsey thing- you know the one, do crunches over it or turn 90 degrees to work your obliques- and she was working the obliques. And the jaw. For instead of "making it more challenging" (some of my favorite gym words there:P) by holding a weight plate during the reps, she was inclining and declining her right side over the thing, all the while holding her cell to her left ear and yakking away on it.
I had to stay long enough to see if, after the designated number of reps, she'd switch to the other side and the other hand and ear. Of course she did. That's when I had to leave, because plainly, by that moment I had seen. It. ALL.
