How Television has RUINED me (Part 1)




I am sure this will be a multi-part series, if not a blog of it's own one day.

In today's Episode I was innocently walking to the T when I noticed a formation of geese flying overhead. Before you could shout out Rankin-Bass! I was singing (in my head) "When the Goose is Flying High" from the Little Drummer Boy.

RUINED!

Getting Bent(o)


aka Frustrated Artist Does Lunch

With no space, time or inspiration to paint theses days I have had an unattended itch to make stuff. You'd think that clothes, ads and promotionals stuff would sate it, but no. That's practical in a real practical way. But now I have discovered artistic bento. I knew about the fancy boxes, since you can get bento meals at sushi places, but I didn't know about the crazy, creative world of bento out there.
So, I have been looking at pictures of bento lunches from traditional to way silly on a lot more sites than I would have thought existed and now I am building them too. Unfortunately I have no pics of today's fabulous South Park box I made for Dave.
Cartman, blue sky, trees...wait-it's food! It's fun, creative and plenty silly. My lunch has star shaped purple pancake, a star onigiri on a field of brocolli and some fish cakes, not so cool, but cute. I also have cute boxes on the way. Making a fun lunch daily will offset that initial expense too. even Steven.
Pics in the future
Yay!
