Average Jane Has a List of Links

Written by

That’s right, it’s "Slept Too Late Wednesday" again, so you get another list post. I’m trying to flex my daily blogging muscles to participate in Eden Kennedy’s NaBloPoMo, which is much more likely to be possible for me than another abortive, non-attempt at NaNoWriMo.

New Seven Wonders – This site seeks to update the Seven Wonders of the World list and invites you to vote for your seven choices.
The AntiCraft – Needlework, knitting and other crafting for the more rebellious among us. For example, there’s an article about knitting with wire (ouch!) and a pattern for a knitted tea cozy adorned with deadly nightshade blossoms and berries.
Haunted When it Rains – A collection of Victorian post-mortem photographs. It sounds creepy, but when I look at the photos, I can see why people found them comforting.
Jewels, Ink and Feathers is a freaky little animated short that’s like the dark side of a children’s picture book.
Zappa Plays Zappa – Dweezil Zappa is out on tour playing Frank Zappa compositions and I have tickets to see it tomorrow night. I can’t wait!

Okay, that’s all for now. Have a great Wednesday!

I couldn’t help but look at the post mortem photos and I see what you mean. Disturbing but strangely comforting.

I took a peek at those photos, too. Maybe it’s the fact that I have an 18-month and a 4-month old at home, but the pictures of dead kids was not comforting in the least. Had to leave pretty quickly.

The post-mortem photos were kind of cool – in that creepy, dead people kind of way.
I’m stopping in from nablopomo. Nice site you have here.

I think I’ll sign up for NaBloPoMo (the name cracks me up!). I actually did complete NaNoWriMo last year, and I’ve been dithering about whether to do it again. NaBlo should be the perfect compromise.
Enjoy the Dweezil concert. Should be great! Francisco Zappa had the best sense of humor in rock ‘n’ roll and that’s saying something.

I just knitted some wire a week or so ago to help Hulk out with a wire 3D sculpture project. I used metal needles because I didn’t want to ruin my bamboo ones, and I’ll never be able to use the metal ones again. Knitting with wire is definitely hurty but it looks really cool when it’s all finished.
