Yahoo! TWU is my alma mater. We viewed a film about the WASPs in one of my classes there. It included a clearly staged scene where one of the flygirls stopped to powder her nose after working on her plane. There used to be quite an extensive display of WWII women's uniforms in the TWU library.
Sigh. Even in National CROCHET month, the knitters butt in. Just kidding. This is really nifty, and I had no idea that March was National Craft Month OR National Crochet Month. Maybe I need to learn to knit. Nahh...I like being a minority and shaking my hook against the masses.
I watched the SNL skit, and it left me with a sense of meh, and reminded me of how funny SNL used to be, once upon a time. I guess I'm just biased because I like the Cat Engineers.
I thought her gallery-in-progress was pretty cool, but you could have chosen a better example of her work than the "Space Invaders" nails. She's got some photos that are much more impressive.
If I was 18 again and about to enter college for the first time, I'd have studied computer animation (either that or forensic anthropology). Pixar must indeed be a cool place to work.
The link made reference to these giant-sized meals being wasteful, but unless I'm missing something, it seems like nearly every time one of these things is made it's for some kind of charity or fundraising event. So if that's true, where's the harm?
That ring is just gorgeous. I crocheted a muffler scarf for my stepson a couple of years ago, the pattern of stripes therein based upon the Fibonacci sequence. I'm not a math geek, I just thought it was an interesting way of making stripes so that they weren't repetitive but weren't random, either.
On the other hand, it reminds me of the packaging for Tiger Balm liniment, which helpfully reminds you that no tiger parts were used.
