English Spelling by Ed Rondthaler… Mr. Rondthaler was 103 years old when this video was made. If you aren’t familiar, I’d suggest starting with his (well-written) obituary: Edward Rondthaler, Foenetic Speler, Dies at 104.

This is GREAT.

I can't wait to go home (version 2.0)

because:

  • I am hungry
  • I haven’t been home or seen my parents since June
  • At night, the house is silent
  • I love Kansas City
  • I will probably talk my family into taking me to the Irish pub for Shepherd’s Pie
  • I will see some new babies
  • I will eat with my grandparents
  • Tea Drops has the best bubble tea in the world and is my favorite hangout spot in KC
  • I will shoot lots of film for a book that I’ll be printing and assembling in January
  • I will make my brother laugh a lot
  • Pizza Hut buffet
  •  My high school’s state championship game (I loved football games were the highlight of my week in high school)
  • I will get to drive my car
  • Mom’s stuffing, Mom’s sweet potatoes
  • Leftovers
  • MEXICAN FOOD
  • MEXICAN FOOD
  • MEXICAN FOOD
  • I love my hometown
  • Mom and Dad are in charge
  • MEXICAN FOOD
  • Annual drawing of the turkey that the president pardons
  • Food

Last year’s list, which is almost the same.

SARAH PALIN BOOK SIGNING - Interviews with Supporters

This is terrifying and hard to watch.  Palin-supporters literally know nothing about politics, which they supposedly care so much about.  I’ve never heard so much nervous sputtering in my life.  I recommend watching the whole thing.

Someone told me today that I was the most powerful lesbian she knew.  And she knows a lot of lesbians.

I made this ink transfer in high school.  My teacher didn’t ever really understand what I was interested in.

Doing a lot of unfollowing lately.  I’m surprised by stupidity and ignorance way too often.

I love this short series called Fog, by Daniel Freytag.
The rest of his work is great as well.  Very clean and shape/line-conscious.
