Endless Flight Part 3

First it was an old album, then it was paint-enhanced insanity, and now it is shoes! I cut Leo out of the equation entirely on these, because I wasn't sure what the copyright issues would be (not something that seems to bother more than a few of the contributors in the design contest), but you know he's still there in spirit!

By the way, not much posting going on here due to day job workload and extremely frustrating "upgrades" on the part of Typepad, which means it takes F O R E V E R to upload new content. Between all the little glitches and the "won't load images on Safari, only on Firefox" nonsense, it's starting to seem like work. Hopefully they'll get that fixed soon, it's annoying.

Light up your life with Tyrannosaur!

                                                                                

Here's a cool item on Ebay: A Vintage Dinosaur Table Lamp Light 60s Kitch T-Rex Dino.

A Tyrannosaur table lamp, circa 1960s, that works!

I kinda want it, but would it go with the 1930's borzoi lamp next to the bed?

Folking Cow on the LRT

Seen today on my way home from work, my pal Rod's poster for the Calgary Folk Fest. Looks like they've done yet another version of his poster design.


Ani DiFranco and Aimee Mann?

There is so much evil in the world.

Novercaphobia

Novercaphobia is fear of one's stepmother, which is encouraged in the fairy tales you've been fed since before you remember. Since 30 million children in the US alone currently live with a step-parent (more stats on stepfamilies here) and chances are very good they will grow up to be stepparents, you'd think maybe it was time to drop that particular stereotype, but it shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon.
