Some random insanity to brighten your day

Ever go to an art exhibit and think, "I could've done that. Why isn't MY fingerpainting in a museum?" Well, this fun feature allows you to test your discerning artist's eye - was it painted by a professional artist... or a seven-year-old?

And apparently, the cool new sport is extreme ironing. Yep, you read that right. Check out the website... there's an interactive game. I got hugged by an overfriendly bear, chased by a grandmother, and splattered myself on a rock after a misjudged launch from a trampoline. I don't think I scored any points.

Also, in real life news, I am wicked excited that a. I just used the word wicked, and b. Kelly decided to forgo practicality and is using her car fund to go on a trip with me! Who needs a car anyway, really? We're all about the shotgun vacation... we're going in July, so we have 4-6 weeks to plan and book our trip. My mother is way too excited about playing travel agent. I think she's doing that "living vicariously" thing she did when I studied abroad. Except she just came back from an Alaska cruise, so it's not like she's all vacation deprived or anything.
