Pillow Kill

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Went to Sherane’s last night and played Pictionary. The closest the other team got to “suffocate” was “pillow kill.” Good times.
I spent some time today figuring out what I’m going to be doing for my drawing course/workshop/slackademics deal. 12 people voted for it on the slackademics poll but only one has come forward by name as a student. Is this the terrible weakness in the plan? I guess we’ll find out. Lani also is considering a mahjong class which I think would be fantastic.

Uh…what else. I spoke with someone today who was born in 1916. He asked me when his new card expired and I said 2009. He said “that’s only three months from now!” I said “that’s three YEARS from now.” “Oh, I think I need to see a psychiatrist” was his reply to that. Cute.

I was talking about one of my heroes, David Attenborough, a while back. Well, he turned 80 recently, and as a result I was able to find a clip from his documentary The Life of Birds which you are going to love: it is the lyre bird of Australia. Click here for the wmv file.

And here are some youtube Sesame Street vids.

This is a good one - nice payoff: Letters Versus Numbers
