All of those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand

Throw the accordion on the grill Early American Cookbook Entry:
1.) Hit food on head with hammer.
2.) Throw on fire.

Architecture in the ’70s reflects the family spiritual encentives of that time period and often illustrates the monotonous homogeneity we live in today. Take, for instance, the family fire.

Is your kitchen centerpiece a fireplace with built in grill? No? Where do you keep your fire? Where do you cook food you’ve just hit on the head with a hammer? What do you gather around when the youngest male child of the clan unpacks his accordion and stumbles through Umbrella Man and Ain’t She Sweet?

It’s both amusing and somewhat sad. Amusing because…well, come on! Look at the dorky little kid serenading big brother while he throws a couple of freshly hammered hunks of “food” on the fire. But then there’s the sad part. We traded fireplaces and accordians for TVs and the internet. Wait. If I want to hear accordion music, I can surely find it on the internet, and you can generally count on a forest fire or two on the news. Status quo preserved.

SpookyBlue Zombie Sneak peek – 2007 Zombies

Well, okay…just one zombie for now. Meet Steve, or Stewart. I can’t keep track of them anymore. This year we’ve learned how to make our own paper skulls using a resin skull from Anatomical Chart Company as a mold. There’ll be a write up about it soon.

Steve/Stewart/Cochise was built entirely out of newspaper and Elmer’s glue … including the skull. I stepped away from carpet latex to see how well the glue worked. Turns out it’s pret-ty darn well. It dries hard instead of slightly sticky like the carpet glue. Very cool, and easy to use. All the new techniques will get a full write-up soon.

By the way, I still don’t see a compelling reason to keep this blog.

Because there aren’t as many bells these days, every time an automatic garage door opens, an angel gets its wings.

How many collies are there in this picture?
