Sniffing out the stuff that kids really get best
They are being performed free all over NYC this week. Maybe this will make sure Obama is our next president. Get out demons!
It’s the weekend, so we are watching the Doctor. We are almost done with Season Two. Soon we will have to say good-bye to Rose. It’s tough to get enough. I am sure that they can’t make them fast enough.
Okay, it would have to be a VERY longgggg…. rainy day, but….
You know those drawings you do that the grownups say “that’s so silly!” about? What is it that they are saying then? Do they want you to keep on doing those drawings forever — or do they want you to stop drawing those creatures right then and now? Did you ever notice how kids’ drawings are soooo much fun, but when the drawers get older they forget about monsters and monkeys and start drawing bowls of fruit? It happens. The why is one of those many unanswerable questions.
Dave Pressler never caught that dread fruit bowl disease. He not only draws really great and silly monsters, but he makes sculptures and all kinds of stuff. Check out his website. It’s a BOWL of fun.
National Geographic has a great photo spread on how Sailfish lasso their prey. It’s super organized teamwork, real life Nemo. Well worth the look.
Twisted kids’ music by Kimya Dawson comes out today. The parents will know her from doing songs for that movie Juno. But you can still love her for songs with lyrics like:
A is for Apple, B is for Butt, C is for Cat-butt, D is for Doo-Doo, E is for Elephant-butt, F is for Fart, G is for Gorilla-fart, H is for Hairy Gorilla-fart”
Continuing with last weeks animal dance party in the Bowl, DISCOVER magazine has a great spread on insects that practice mind control on other creatures, including a green jewel wasp that can does brain surgery on cockroaches turning them into their slaves. For real! Check it out here.
