Why didn’t I think of this?

Would you pay $6 for a set of already-been-chewed wads of gum?

I know I wouldn't.  That is, unless these aren't really nasty pre-chewed pieces of gum at all but are instead, MAGNETS.

Bazinga!



This girl has some serious talent.

“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” to see My Little Ponies “Defying Gravity”

In theory... combining two of my favorite things, Ponies and Broadway, should create a whole new, even-more-spectacular favorite thing.  In reality, however, it just makes for some entertaining awkwardness:



Weird, huh?

P.S. In case you haven't heard, Conan O'Brien is finally on Twitter.  Yay!

Bored, in the afternoooooon…

Ann didn't feel like working or studying this afternoon... so she made some silly Facebook Faces for you to download/save/share/use/abuse/scoff at.  They are totally free and of very low quality.  Enjoy!

Procrastination



Procrastination from Johnny Kelly on Vimeo.

I get the feeling the people who made this animated short have been spying on me...

(Thanks to The Daily What - My preferred procrastination resource.)

We have your tiny hat, Mr. Leprechaun...

We also have your little pot of gold.  So why don't you make nice and show yourself long enough for us to get a little taste of YouTube stardom.  I'll just set your hat right here on my blog... you know what we want...


Now, DANCE, Mr. Leprechaun. DANCE!

Pot 'o Gold!

Oh, the lame leprechaun jokes we could tell you... but you'd rather just see our latest Felt Fuzzi, wouldn't you?

(On a completely unrelated note, Happy Fat Tuesday!)

♥ Happy Chinese New Year! ♥ Happy Valentine's Day! ♥ And tomorrow, have a happy President's Day! ♥



Today, the Year of the Tiger begins! So for those of you born in 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and of course, 2010... this is gonna be your year.  For everyone else, find your nearest Tiger friend and hang on tight!  Relax, you don't have to be Chinese to celebrate this week-long tradition (being non-Irish hasn't stopped me from partaking in St. Patrick's day frivolities!).  This is a time to party down with lots of food, fireworks, and family.  RAWR!

It's also Valentine's Day today... Some call it a day to commemorate love and romance, while others call it the day Hallmark, florists, and chocolate makers plot to screw up our already cynical and sad lives.  Personally, I think that any day a mature adult can go out in public adorned with red and pink hearts and NOT get odd looks or heckles is a very good day.  The aisles and aisles of chocolates doesn't hurt either.

And finally, tomorrow is President's Day for those of us here in the U.S. of A.  A day set aside to honor our country's highest office and the men (and hopefully someday, women) who have served in it.  Of course, it's also a day to get a great deal on mattresses, electronics, and cars...

We should celebrate life, family, love, patriotism, and the slashing of retail prices everyday...  But setting aside these special days give us opportunities to get together and be creative.  They are also great excuses to go over-the-top crazy in our own illogical, very human way.

Blessings,

ann:)

Tumbling my time away...

KarmaBox now has Tumblr photo blog (http://karmabox.tumblr.com). It will be updated with our product pics, like Felt Fuzzies and other pretties. Occasionally, we may add pics and links to other people's handmade goodies.  Hoooooray!



Our Tumblr page also has Mobile capabilities and adjusts the posts to fit on your cellphone when you click on the, well, 'Mobile' link to the right of the page.

Basically, our Tumblr page will be less confusing than our TWO Facebook pages [You: "Why do you need 2 Facebook pages, Ann?"/Ann: "Because two is more than one, that's why."] and far more focused than our rambling, blessedly pointless Twitter feed.  Hooray, again!

So, please follow us on Tumblr!

Thanks!

P.S.  If you have a hankering for random photos of boring things taken at interesting angles and Terry Pratchett quotes... Check out Ann's other Tumblr blog: http://thepictureimp.tumblr.com

A not so electric, guitar.




[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="432" caption="A Black and Pink Electric Guitar - Feltified."]Felt Fuzzies![/caption]

Yes, it's a guitar.  Yes, it is black and pink.  Yes, it even has shiny silver strings.  But alas, it does not play. Not one single note.  Oh sure, I could wear it in my hair to tell the world that I, Farnsworth McQueen Simmons, can rock (and perhaps even roll).  Yeah, I know I could have also gotten the pin version of this miniature electric guitar to stick onto the miniature guitar case I bought (but that would be a little weird, don't you think?).  I just thought you should know that I am hugely disappointed in your relentless pursuit for cuteness over musical functionality.

What will I do with my miniature rock band now?  What, pray tell, shall I tell my fans?


Sincerely,


Disappointed Miniature Guitarist/Backup Vocalist (aka, The Electric Fly)

And she builds robots in her spare time!

Today, my boys and I played with our puppy, drew some lovely pictures to post on our fridge, and built a couple of blood-thirsty killing machines programmed to enslave humanity. =^_^=

[caption id="attachment_251" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Don't let their size and mediocrity fool you... these robots are vicious."]Robot Duck & Tin Can Robot[/caption]

These cool kits are designed by a fleet of smarty-pants over at Middlesex University in the UK.  Robot Duck and Tin-Can Robot are easy to build and even easier to start a Robot Fight Club! with.  (You can't build robots and not make them fight each other, sheesh.)

I <3 Robots.  Rest assured that a Robot Fuzzi is high on my to-make list.

Dinner Blurb

[Un]Chef Ann is mutilating a chicken in the oven... with lots of veggies. It all smells divine, but if it turns out to be inedible, Domino's is on standby. They are a very understanding franchise.

Always have a Plan B.
