details OVER HERE
fun times ALL OVER

back story-ish for THIS fiber break ... it's simple. i adore spinning girl from afar. and after a quick look-see this morn ('cuz i've been a bit dormant on catching up on blogs), as always - a little gem. endure this video fiber break (also more here) ... it is worth it -

always fun stuff at spinning girls!

r|break: sunday fiber break

sleestak me! ... in preparation for anyone revisting the childhood saturday morning t.v. show favorite (back in the day sans remote channel changer-majiggy and there were dials on a t.v., so my brother and i took turns changing channels) that has been turned into a feature film, visit ...

the theme song and video clip
(HINT: maybe you know the secerts behind the damn crystals?!)
and
spinning girl's nostalgika homage
OVER HERE

for a short karaoke moment, have at it ...

Marshall, Will and Holly
On a routine expedition
Met the greatest earthquake ever known
High on the rapids It struck their tiny raft (insert screams here)
And plunged them down a thousand feet below
To the Land of the Lost
To the Land of the Lost
To the Land of the Lost

keeping up with another mash-up in the mix (like the mash-up-ish of start trek:lost fiber break over here) that i found through a search on youtube (over here)...

memories.

(note to self: (re)visit spinning girl daily
like i used to do so for my fix. she rocks!)

r|break: ... memory & math

sg stalking
OVER HERE!!!

[a l'il cut/paste from sg's post. thanks.]

Click START, then wait for the count down (3-2-1). Numbers will pop up randomly in circle, and then disappear.

Immediately after, empty circles will appear. You have to remember where the numbers were.

Your challenge is to click the circles in order from the smallest number seen to the largest number. After several trials, your brain age will pop up. (PS, the original is in Japanese, but there are English translations).

[ahh ... the mind of a 20 yr old (?), a driver's license of a 44 yr old.]

r|break: ... fail

[from SG stalking]

FAIL

[out & about for work;
entertain yourself also
with this and this]

r|break: ... word to your mother

online magnetic poetry
[found on my SG stalking morn]

busy yourself (then share with me) while i'm entertaining delicate flower later today for a yet-to-be-determined jaunt around the BA (sans camera, unless i can find mine). and pass even more time by "theme-ing up" your poetry.

as if ... i'm a scanner [pt. 1]

aka how i'm passing my time ... for now

several months ago, i passed my time with a little bit of apartment therapy, and i've been "do-looping" between weeks 4 through 6. benefit? at least i have been ridding myself of stuff (and i have lots of stuff) and cooking (enough). however, i still have to do some of those repairs and improvements that i've listed ... bathroom caulking, dining room chairs, kitchen base board, kitchen nook area, etc. (and most recently, smoke alarm battery change-outs). so still chugging along ... chugging. along.

nevertheless, i've added yet another "... do stuff around the house" type thing in my life.

refuse to choose: ... (by b.sher)

came across this when i stalked spinning girl who is doing a meme summer, which included mentioning daydreaming on paper. ultimately, i came across the reference to sher's book.

i am hooked ... well, at least because part of the "program" is to get a fabu journal (aka scanner daybook). and i LOVES me my stationery stuff - journals and pens and paper and stuff!

buy a journal ... there is encouragement to get a mega-journal (lots of pages, big writing space, neato-bandito looking, etc.), something that is cool and all. i didn't get a too fancy-shmancy one but i did get something with which i'm sure to write.

let's see how long this
"hipmt ... fn" extravaganza lasts.

i'm very hopeful this will be fruitful because it combines several happy past-times of mine ... writing, reading, reflecting, notetaking, observing, remembering, nostalgia, reasons to drink coffee, plans to do stuff, creativity ... procrastination - in a good way.

(SIDE NOTE: i'm also pal-ing up to woo-woo with ydh: ... with a friend, but i intend to have both co-exist.)

first entry - trial run ... small, recent idea that hasn't been given much thought and totally just go off on it. and i did. and if y'come to a tangent, go off on that for 20-min. and i did. meanwhile, also get some metrics - time started, time ended, and what resulted in stopping the trial run stuff.

insightful sh** for me, already.
