Happy Elephant

By the powers of yesterday and today combined, I present to you, awkward elephant! Happy Tuesday!

HMS Knocker

The pirate islands of Snotiva are proud to announce the coronation of their first origami ship, Her Mighty Snot Knocker.

Guess who has a page-a-day origami calendar?

Paper Cup.

Happy 2009. Holy cow. It's 2009. The future is almost here! This past New Year's Eve was the first one Shannon and I have spent alone in a really long time. Possibly ever. It wasn't bad though. There was fondue, Formula De, and sparkling cider (thanks Charity and Corey).

Then yesterday we kicked off the new year by saying farwell to Charity. She is off to Florida for more school. We went with her and one of her friends to see Slum Dog Millionaire. I didn't really have any expectations, I've heard it was good though. It was good. I'm really glad I went to see it (plus it was free, thanks Charity). There are a lot of things in the movie that made me think about how nice my own life is and how much of it I take for granted.

The World of Stuffed Animals

Before we left for home we went to bass pro shop.

It was more fun than I thought it would be. It's a lot like Cabella's, only more fishier. We took pictures with some stuffed animals and tried to find the neatest coolest craziest things. One of those things was this cool origami dinnerware. The company is called Orikaso and the stuff is so cool! It isn't very expensive either. If I had a need/use for it or knew someone who did, we would have got it.

It's made of plastic and the folds are pre-folded. You can fold and unfold it a bunch of times to take it with. They had a plate, bowl, and mug at Bass Pro Shops.

Neato!
