Alba has been making these cute little ugly dolls called Muti Monsters. This one was inspired by autopsy photographs. I don’t think it has a name yet.

The Veg Fairy

This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen – Veg Fairy Roasted Eel, made by Vege One company from China. Their serving instructions deserve their own special place on the web, so here they are:
Cold Food:
After it is defrosted, and cut it into cube piece. Then, mating with favored sauces or mustard paste to get a special taste.
Hot Food:
After it is defrosted, and cut it into cube piece before oil frying. The eel piece will be shortened to be shortened to be available for the all ages.
Grilled Food:
After it is defrosted, and cut it into cube piece being grilled with oven or charcoal. It is most suitable for picnic.
Wish me luck… I’m about to cut it into cube piece and mate it with a favored sauce.
Currently bobbing my head to: Le Desir from Welcome Tourist by B. Fleischmann
UPDATE: Now I know why the Veg Fairy hasn’t busted out into the picnic big league yet – eugh! Actually it was alright until I ate the entire packet. Now I feel sick.
I heart neologisms
I love words. I love new words. Neologisms tickle my fancy, float my boat and make me laugh and sing. Frankenwords, portmanteaus, newspeak. doublespeak, buzzwords, nadsat. I heart you all. Here’s my top 5 for this week:
1. Ambient Calculus – a form notation used to describe and theorise about mobile systems. (via Wikipedia)
2. Nodishness – nodishness is about the boundary between the personal and the collective. (via headmap)
3. Portmanteau / frankenword – a word that is formed by combining two or more words. (okay, not strictly a neologism, but new for me – again via Wikipedia)
4. MoSoSo – acronym for Mobile Social Software. (via Wired Magazine)
5. Relationship – When two people decide to fall in love, usually resulting in lots of stuff for the woman, loss of bank account for the man. It could also end up in marriage.

Summer Music Schedule
Alright, since it’s nearly halfway through summer, I’ve barely seen any bands (unless you count Psychic TV) and things need to change. Here’s a personal reminder of shows I need to catch:
Franz Ferdinand – 09-09 – Roseland Ballroom
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone – 08-03 @ The Big A Little A House or 08-04 @ Tommy’s Tavern both in Brooklyn
Modest Mouse – 08-09 – Hammerstein Ballroom
Okay this is a beginning… feel free to add to this in the comments…
