Robots... (squeeeeeeee!!!!!)

Anyone care to guess what movie I attended this week? ;D

Um...Merry Christmas (I'm late, aren't I)?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Okay, sorry, I'm just zaney, aren't I? I updated my Towel Day post before posting about Christmas, despite not even officially celebrating Towel Day! (yet...)

Well, anyhow, Merry Belated Christmas Everyone! :)

So, We did some fun things on Christmas, had some family get-togethers, and, most importantly, we thanked God for the real reason for the season (sounds cheesy, but thanking God for sending his Son each year couldn't be more important, IMHO...).

We also decided to do something kind of different; didn't have a ton of ornaments this year (after moving and all; sorry I never mentioned that before, but it's something I didn't feel comfortable disclosing much...), so we borrowed ornaments and, at my suggestion, being the "Semi-Otaku" I am, we made paper cranes for our tree. And they were gorgeous, if I do say so myself! (I’ll post a pic or too when I can…) [Edt: And, here's my pic! :) ]

 

Also… there were these cool Star Wars DIY ornaments I found on Boing Boing… but when I can. [Edit: I can :) ]

You can find the post here. The site the snowflakes came from is right here. Another person elaborated on the design and made even more characters; their site can be found here.

 

Anyway, I learned how to make Paper Cranes from this super helpful tutorial, and it just might, in fact, help you too.

Have a very origami belated Christmas ya’ll!

:) Towel Day

Sorry, not much to say tonight; this just made me smile, that's all.
(Highly recomended if you are a Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy and/or Douglas Adams fan.)

Update as of 12/29/11:

I just recently found a Don't Panic Towel on ThinkGeek.com! I will set up a link later, when I am able to...


Later that day...:

Ha ha, Here it is! Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous DON'T PANIC towel!

In addition, I located yet another Hitchhiker's Guide themed towel, known as the utility towel, equally as cool and with an appeal to Hitchhikers and number fiends alike (and especially to those who are a little bit of both).

And one more thing. Just an FYI, I'm very fond of this online store at which both items are available, ThinkGeek.com. Though it shouldn't be too much of a jump from the links I provided and the rest of the store, here's the homepage just for the heck of it.

Well, I must depart; fare thee well, dear readers. I bid thee good fortune and happy Hitchhiking!

... I think this video speaks for itself.

(No, this isn't it. Well, sorta.
There's a link in the picture. and one below. The links will explain everything.
...Hopefully.)


Wild form, really. Wild.
I first learned about it from the above link (not in the picture). Really sweet, in my opinion. I look forward to trying it out myself sometime soon.

Expect more on this later, definitely. ;)

P.S. If you are confused by the relationship between the pic and the subject (not just to look cool, readers. not just to look cool.)...Ok, ok, if there is someone out there reading my work, and they happen to be confused, and care enough to comment about it...let me know. I will post a response. And if you're not confused....let me know. You win. Winner(s) get something spiffy! :D
