Does anybody remember the group Mummenschanz? If you’re very far under the age of 40, you might not. I seem to remember them being on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. Ah, those were the days. Well, this video reminds me of something they would do and it’s very cool.
I sat here watching this whole thing, trying to figure out how it’s done. Even after seeing a small clue at the end, I still can’t figure it out! I love watching stuff like this, it massages my brain. And look at the pretty colors..ooooh! :-) Enjoy!
This was in our local paper yesterday and I thought it was appropriate to share since I'm in a major winter BLAH phase.
10 reasons to appreciate the cold Iowa winter
Here are 10 things to ponder as you shiver through another day in Iowa's Endless Winter:
The good news - no mosquitoes!
If you can still see your breath, you haven't frozen to death.
It has never snowed in Iowa in June. That's only a little more than three months away.
You can probably get a good deal on an air conditioner.
Nobody cares how funny you look while tiptoeing on an ice-glazed sidewalk, because they are too worried about falling themselves. And big, furry, hairstyle-destroying hats are fashionable.
Ice fills the potholes.
If the electricity goes out, your frozen foods will likely remain frozen.
Scraping an ice-covered windshield makes you feel superior to all those people who wimped out and built garages.
The Iowa Cubs home opener is April 3, a mere 41 days away.
I've been tagged by Kelly at Unschooling @ Sage Manor. I haven't done a meme/tag for awhile, so...why not?
Here are the 'rules':
Link to the person that tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
And now, my 6 unimportant things:
I'm a night owl. If I had my way, I'd be up until 2 am every night and sleep until 10. Of course, this doesn't really work too well when you have kids to take care of, so instead I live on much less sleep than I should have and often take 'unplanned' short naps during the day.
I don't have any wisdom teeth. As in, I never had any, they never appeared. Go ahead, make your 'lack of wisdom' jokes now. I can take it.
I don't like to be in the dark. I insist on a night-light in my bedroom. This is one of the (many?) things I've never outgrown from childhood.
I can't get a tan. I go from almost transparent to red and back again. There is no in between.
I unapologetically say 'on accident' instead of 'by accident'. I actually did some research on this a short time ago and it seems to be a bit of a regional thing. I try to use correct grammar, but this is just one of those things I'm not willing to worry about. Plus, it's fun irritating a certain someone by saying it MY way. Heh.
I love milk. I mean, really love it. Yes, I know, cow's milk is for calves, not people...yada yada yada. I don't care. I love my moo juice. Maybe I've developed multiple stomachs like cows have...that would explain a lot. Regardless, I will almost always choose milk over any other beverage.
I guess that takes care of that. I'm supposed to tag random people, but I'm going to unrandomly tag people I know. :-) These people are as follows:
Maybe I'm just in a weird mood due to every part of my body but my right ear being in pain from a brutal kick-boxing workout last night...but this is the kind of thing that cracks me up.
Don't let the website address worry you - it's worth the visit. Note the 'unforeseen circumstances' reference. HA!
