Some Art Blogs I Frequent

I have a new ritual as I drift off to sleep. In order to calm down my brain, and to make it happy, I look through a bunch of art blogs as I'm lying in bed. I love to look at what beauty others are creating, and I love reading about their lives.

Here (in no particular order) is a list of some of my favourite places to visit:

• Happiness-Studio.com
• Ispirato (Studio Astarte)
• Sandra Magsamen
• Violette's Folk Art
• Claudine Hellmuth
• So Many Stars
• DJ Pettitt
• Funky Art Queen
• Misty Mawn
• Glitz-Oh! Girl
  
• Judy Scott
• It's a Whimsical Life
• SoulHumming
  

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

My Guiltiest Pleasure

Don't let the name scare you: Go Fug Yourself

It's so encouraging to know that people who can look so good often look so BAD.

To Type, or Not To Type ...

Hubby just introduced me to this: The Hamlet Text Adventure Game.

Remember those old computer games without graphics, when all you had was the text on the screen, and your own imagination? Yes, it's just like that, except with a lisping Ophelia.

Try it -- it's hysterical! :)

Thanks, Kate!

My husband's niece (and mine by marriage), Kate, has just started up a website, and on it she mentions the Mozilla extension "Stumble Upon". Basically, the idea is that it randomly generates websites it thinks you might be interested in.

So I decided to give it a try, and lo! I found the coolest photo-essay/online book called Alley Cats: Urban Tails. If you like cats, and/or photography, at all, you really should check it out.


(The above links go straight to the book. If you want more info, start at the beginning page.)

I like this StumbleUpon thing! Maybe now I'll have something to talk about around here. :)

Waiting for eggs to hatch.

I have spent much of this evening watching a bald eagle patiently sit upon its nest. The babies are imminent, but I can only watch for so long. So many people are watching right now, so it's cutting in and out, but it's not terribly exciting right now anyway.

Every time I think something is happening, it turns out that the eagle is just adjusting some sticks.

Check it out.

Blame it on my sister ...

My sister, the dentist, was telling me how addicted she is to Sudoku. I had no idea what on earth she was talking about, til she showed me. Anyway, yesterday, as a surprise for her, I went to WebSudoku to download some puzzles for her.

Now I can't stop doing them either!
