Blogging

There was no news at hyperbole about my house. So did you get that lost? I, too, love creating new words. And she keeps thinking of better and better ones! In fact I have enjoyed reading cut n’ paste more and more every day for a few weeks now. I have a copy of the

Drinking Sewage

Quite possibly the most disgusting news I’ve ever read on the ‘net.

Computer Generated Sketch

Bloggoff

Check out the current Bloggoff! This one’s on animation and they are finding some kee-iller sites. Woo-hoo! Animaniacs! I can recite the entire Nation’s of the World without prompting, off the top of my head, with no music. Woo-hoo! Jabber Jaw!
