Wants to be amused

[firecat]

I'm feeling more out of sorts than usual today. It's nothing specific and I don't particularly want to take up bandwidth whining about it, but I'd love to be distracted by comments about things that are nifty, beautiful, funny, and otherwise happy-making.

Ha! Me, too.

Do you have any ideas about what to do with a big bunch of neckties other than abandon them at a thrift store. Would you like some?

What was the price range on the R*mi restaurant?

Do you want to know the URL for a somewhat addictive flash game that involved "rolling" a ball through a maze with simulated gravity?

Neckties - You might try asking on craftgrrl. Which is quite distracting and fun. (No thanks, I have too much craft stash as it is.)

Rumi - entrees are in the $20-$30 range IIRC. The veggie entree was $19.

I don't think I want the flash game myself (I have lots of game-type distractions, but I can't afford to get sucked into them right now) but maybe some of the other people reading this entry would want it.

I've seen gorgeous skirts made out of neckties. Cut off the smaller flared end, stitch 'em together along the straight part, leave the larger flared end loose for a handkerchief hem. Add a drawstring waistband and you're good to go.

Would you like a bunch for that purpose? Firecat quite understood that i'm passing on a stash. I've created wings and a tail for a wall hanging and do not plan to make the full costume plus the performance piece. (The emotional impetus for the project is ten years past now, and i haven't worked on it in eight years!)
