I am really quite excited by the art meme. I have a lot of ideas and I can't wait to send people cool stuff! :)

So I'd like to pimp out toastmantom — run, do not walk, to sign up for his art meme right here! You won't regret it. I gar-on-tee it.

In other news, I have been on a moth-killing spree ("27 in one blow") and most of the Burning Man stuff is finally sorted out, so the house is almost clean enough to bust out the DDR pads and start training for my inevitable battle with mr_chip and hint.

Speaking of DDR, have I mentioned that at Burning Man, I played Dance Dance Immolation? :) Well, I did. And it was so awesome!

( Proof! )

So, last night, in a manic frenzy (or perhaps a flurry), I stabbed my way through mostly defrosting the freezer. bettyscout was probably the last person to witness the snow-bound glory of said freezer, and it wasn't a pretty sight. Trapped like insects in amber, mysterious packages and bottles of vodka cried out for freedom. Deep inside the glacier, the ice cube tray had long since abandoned its contents. And due to this overwhelming abundance of snow, the door of the refrigerator wasn't closing fully half the time. It was time... time to get out the chisel, the blowtorch, and the ice axe. But I used one of the kitchen knives instead.

Hacking violently away at the iceberg, I noticed that the quality of snow was different than the last time I'd done this (when I really did have to get out the ice axe). The snow was slushy and was coming off quite easily. When I had excavated the bottom layer enough, and taken a good 4 inches off the top, I was filled with the desire to make a snowman. Behold my creation, "Snowy!" :) The "hair" is the cotton wad out of an aspirin bottle, the arms are stalks broken off from a tomato vine, the nose is a piece of pretzel, and the eyes and mouth are lentils.

As my co-worker said when I showed her the pictures, "Damn, girl, you need a hobby." :)

There you have it! :)
