sniffle sniffle

I have a cold...a yucky, nasty miserable cold.
Due to this fact I will provide you with the only thing my fevered brain is capable of processing right now and that is mindlessly entertaining nonsense.
I hope you all enjoy.

Are you miserable? Feel like playing a game that will put you out of said misery?
Then allow me to suggest this game.

Though not technically mindless or nonsense, Bob Hope is, and forever shall be, entertaining:


I prayed this movie would play near me, but alas...I was not so fortunate...now I must patiently wait for the dvd.

Artist of the Week

Every now and then I stumble across an artist whose work delights me...not in a rainbow-and-ponies kind of way...but in a those-twin-girls-from-the-shining-with-a-dash-of-whimsy kind of way. For those of you who enjoy the slightly dark and bizarre, I introduce to you the beauty that is Art & Ghosts. Here a few samples of her amazing work (all of which are available for purchase from artandghosts.etsy.com.

It's Tim Burton Thursday...


Today's selection:

"Voodoo Girl," by Tim Burton

Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.

She has a beautiful set
of hypno-disk eyes,
the ones that she uses
to hypnotize guys.

She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.

But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,


the pins stick farther in.
