I dislike April Fools’ Day. I don’t like being made to look like an idiot, or come across information I am unsure of. It bothers me. That said, I don’t partake. If you do, keep it clean?

I’ve got work coming out the ears this weekend, and won’t be around the office much. So enjoy your early bits.

These anti-theft lunch bags are awesome. Although, I think I’d think twice about eating my own sandwich if it was in one of these.

Yikes.

Check out the new trailer for Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are. (I would have embedded it, but the vids on YouTube keep going missing.) I need to re-read this book a.s.a.p.

Another edition of the Creebobby Comics timestable … this time with unicorns! And pirates! And piratey unicorns!

JFK is AFK:

I loooooove Thinkin’ Lincoln, which I guess also means I loooooove Miles Grover? I don’t even know the guy, but his humor rocks my socks.

I have a large-ish Millenium Falcon sitting above my kitchen cabinets (and I’d kill for the $400 Death Star that Lego sells), but this guy’s lego creations kind of put it to shame.

I think I might have posted about the Stormtrooper Flickr set before, but I am too lazy to go searching for it. (I need to get my tags in order, stat!) Check out the (new to me) Adventures of TK-027.

We also have an AT-AT in our kitchen (it’s Star Wars-themed) and I now want to take Dog with us when we go places, and pose him around the apartment, because of these pictures of ATilla. (So stinkin’ cute!)

People who can take non-art materials and use them for art purposes amaze me. I’m a big proponent of recycling materials; kleenex boxes were always my friend when I was little. These portraits made from old cassette tapes blow my Barbie shoebox beds out of the water.

I posted about this on Facebook, but it looks like Totall Looks Like agrees with me. (And this came out last month, so either Avon’s pulling an early April Fools’ or someone in the marketing department is Made of Win.)
