Class
I noticed a few weeks ago, that Googling my own name doesn't bring up Technicolor Day.
So I added my name a couple times to the blog, and Googled this morning to see if TD would come up now.
I found that someone with my own name is teaching a couple classes, including "BEADING ON PAPER (2 sessions)".
That's odd. That's one of the projects I'm working on myself. Instead of stamping and then beading, I'm beading then watercoloring. Wow, I need to get it finished, then maybe I can teach a class too, though not in Canada.

Phone Home
The story went around the 'odd' or 'weird' news last week. This week, on the Bob & Tom show, I think it was our friend Bob that provided the punch line. But I just had to draw it.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Thursday Bit O' Beauty
Yeah, I know it's not Thursday. I also know I've missed a few Thursdays.
For all those of you who have already switched to My Way, you may have already seen this in their strange news. This artist "paints images of Christ on his own terms", and I like the liberties he's taking. What do you think? a new and different image of Christ? Or Buddy Jesus? Or both?

War is not creative
When I started blogging a mere nine months ago, I decided for many reasons to give myself a theme. The theme of Technicolor Day is creativity. So I usually skip subjects that I don't feel fit the theme. (that's mostly why I created the second blog for the spillover stuff) Also, I'm not into blogging for the 'flaming' aspect, saying things trying to 'rile' folks up. So this post is a bit out of blogger-character.
I cannot believe that the latest form of acceptable discrimination is against people who want peace. I cried when I read this article posted on JCD. And not the sad-story-about-a-kitty cry, the scared-for-my-liberties cry. What happened to the first amendment? Arrested for refusing to take off his pro-peace t-shirt? I can not even imagine.
I have always been a (mostly) quiet dissenter. The 'means by which we arrive at that goal' in everyday life. Be peaceful, act peaceful, teach peace, live peace. But this pending war has given me the feeling that first amendment rights fly out the window in favor of pro-war activism.
I don't personally want this war. War is not healthy for children and other living things. But what really scares me is not feeling like it's ok to say that I don't want war. Afraid the mob mentality will aim their anger at me for wanting peace. That is how I feel right now, not safe in my own country, not free to voice my own opinions.
But this is America and I still do have the right to say how I feel.
I believe in Peace.
There I said it.
I hope some day you'll join us, and the world can live as one.

Puppetry of the Penis
or rather
The Penis in Puppetry

I turned to The Daily Show early tonight, and caught a glimpse of the members of Tenacious D. Literally. On Crank Yankers, or should that be Yank...oh never mind.
I guess it wasn't a new episode, but new to me. Nude puppets, what will they think of next?

We'll see this one on Jeopardy:
Armadillos in Nebraska? I thought the 'possoms were bad enough. At least the article says armadillos are good eatin'. If you can crack the shell, I guess.

Bloogle?
I've been reading about the selling of Blogger to Google. Sounds like a good thing, we'll have to wait and see just how good.
Those Blogger Geeks are kinda cute, but how come no chicks??
