Falling apart at the seams. Not...

Rocketboy no Yume
Falling apart at the seams. Not literally but kind of... Actually that line about falling apart came from a very obnoxious waiter at a Mexican restaurant, Ruiz Brothers, Ruiz Cantina, something like that. I dropped by looking for friends and had these odd pamphlets of no importance what so ever. Anyway the things are shoved in my jacket and in I stroll. Walk up to the table where they are all gathered and go to sit down. Pamphlets everywhere, it looked like someone hit a recycling truck. The happy one strolls by and utters the line "falling apart at the seams", and I've used it ever since. Which is what happened this last week.

In the midst of solid craziness I cracked a tooth leading to a crown. On top of that I also had to get this crazy lump removed... the world of fatty lumpy things... not fun. So here I am at work after a couple of days off and a little bit of pain. All is well though... going to seeing the third matrix movie this weekend with the sister, venturing off tonight to catch my nephew doing the choir thing. So life is pretty good... pain reminds you of this in the oddest way, I even called an old friend today. So there you go... say hello to people, enjoy life and all it's nuances. Mental note: write more, it feels good.

Weekly Wrap-Up: #67 - Arts & Crafts

1. Do you enjoy arts & crafts? Why or why not?
I don't like the name Arts & Crafts. I enjoy things like Origami and other odd model creating hobbies. Cooking is enjoyable as well as sewing. The term a&c makes me think of ceramics, molds and such. There never appears to be that level of creativity in arts & crafts. If memory serves right though I did think it was a good time when we were kids.

2. What was your favorite arts & crafts project as a child? Why?
As kids we were also working on some goofy project. Tie die shirts, leather goods, papier mache, the different array of projects runs the gamut. I always thought those little lanyard things that you made for keychains in different colors were pretty cool. Hot pads for pots were pretty high on the list but I'd say the Tandy leather kits were the best.

3. What kinds of arts & crafts do you do now? Has this changed over time? If so, how and why?
If origami falls into this category I'd would say that would be it. I've always come back to origami, folding those odd little animals and what not. I remember third or fourth grade folding cranes and other small birds, paper airplanes were also quite nice.

4. What kind of arts & crafts would you like to learn how to do? Why?
Coming from quite an artistic family I wish I could learn to paint or draw well. I've taken classes but perhaps through lack of ambition or whatever neither comes.

5. Describe your ideal arts & crafts environment, whether it's at home, school, work, or elsewhere.
Home is ideal with someone I know well. Drinks are always nice to but I wouldn't recommend getting sloppy drunk to anyone. Especially if there are sharp implements near by but hey that's just me.

Bonus Unrelated Question: Freddy vs Jason opens this weekend... who exactly is the good guy? Why?
Does it really matter? Neither one of them is the good guy so let the games begin. Sick entertainment is always a beautiful thing.

OK... it's back to blogger. It's funny how a person drifts and ends up coming back to something. Old lovers, old friends, old bottles of... you get the idea. Anyway, the simple things in life are those that work and blogger works, right. Right. Just like everything else, keep using it -- develop a habit and it will work. That all said I'm going to get a bite, collect my thoughts and at the end of the day I shall return.
