In the grand tradition of Cat Scan (which has seemingly gone AWOL), and in the spirit of proving that the some people have way too much free time: Bunny Scan.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Interwebberynet has everything you could want (and more).

Origami gosh

Friday, December 19th, 2003

Note to self: spend more time learning origami to produce cool things like these. I have absolutely no idea how anyone could design the folds to produce these, let alone actually execute them. I expect it requires considerable patience and concentration, two things that I am lacking as of late.

In the meantime, I'll just think about purchasing an origami boulder. You never know when you'll need one of those.

Today's bonus puzzle: one of the previous paragraphs is about seriously impressive art, while the other is a complete joke; can you tell which is which?

Things that are not conducive to a good night's sleep:

  • Someone setting fire to a fallen tree in the park just outside your bedroom window.
  • The fire engine arriving to put out the tree (this is your fault as you did call 000).
  • A cat jumping from the bathroom sink against the window, knocking everything on the windowsill to the floor in a vain attempt to catch a moth. This happens just as you doze off.
  • The same cat knocking everything to the floor again 15 minutes later. This happens just as you doze off.
  • The same cat knocking everything to the floor again 10 minutes later and then running about the house like a maniac while you jump around like an idiot to catch the moth and throw it out the back door (into the smokey park).
  • Drunken idiots in the park, fighting and swearing at 3am (possibly over who put out their lovely fire).
  • A small child that wakes up at the crack of dawn, full of giggles and energy (having slept soundly through the night's “entertainment”).
