Wow, I just saw this video and am floored. I love origami but this is even above my level.
Mabona Origami does a stop motion video on how to fold a 3-D koi and does an amazing job documenting it. I wish I could fold that well. But there is always time to practice.
Please check out this stunning video and enjoy!
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted and I’ve been trying to think of what the direction of this site should be. I love the idea of keeping things positive especially since there is so much negativity out there.
So in addition to the cool things I find in my travels (and crafting adventures) I will be posting reviews. It could be a TV show or a product I either liked or didn’t like. I like so many things but want to keep it honest when something is a dud or just wasn’t my cup of tea.
If there is something out there that you want reviewed or just my opinion, please let me know and I will give you my honest opinion of it.
I love feedback on what works for you guys too so please feel free to comment! I’d love to hear from you and read your thoughts too!
Last week, I caught an episode of Leverage (TNT, Wends 9pm ET). When the first season came out, I watched about half an episode and wasn’t too impressed. The only reason I decided to watch the show again was knowing that Wil Wheaton was going to be a guest star in a few weeks and really didn’t want to miss it. (He’ll be playing a geek – what a shocker!)
I was first pleasantly surprised to see Johnathan Frakes’s name pop up as the director of the episode titled “Fairy Godparents Job” and then I saw “Jane” from the British comedy show “Coupling” (Gina Bellman playing the role of Sophie Deveraux ). It was nice to see Gina playing a smart(but flawed) character with a heart was nice but I kept expecting her to slip up and start acting like Jane.
According to the Leverage’s site, “While trying to recover embezzled cash from a Madoff-like funds manager, the team finds themselves acting as unlikely fairy godparents to the mark’s lovable loser stepson. ”
The episode had a nice twist and built up the drama at a good pace, while adding in bits of comedy to keep things moving and from getting too serious. It had a similar feel to how the “Ocean’s 11″ series of buddy/crime movies.
Johnathan Frakes did a great job directing, keeping it funny and sweet at times but not getting overly comical.
It’s rated TV-14 but the episode I saw, besides the stealing and revenge part of the story, was something I could see watching with my older (pre-teen) kids and not feel uncomfortable. I hope that the series is as “clean” as the episode I saw so I can watch it with them.
I will be watching tonight’s episode and look forward to catching up on previous over the next few weeks. TNT does offer online episodes to view and there are several episodes on demand through Verizon.
Leverage - TNT Wednesdays 9pm (ET) TV-14
This is the real stuff!
I found a treasure. Lehigh Valley Farms – Long an East Coast purveyor of plain old mik – has a new product called Over the Moon. This is skim milk – you know that watery bluish-grey-white liquid to avoid. But this stuff mouths like whole milk!
Creamy, solid tasting and NO Fat. (They have a version that is 1%, but why bother?) My grandkids drink it like they were fish. We got it just to give it a try, and were amazed. How often do you get a product thinking, “Well, maybe it is ok, but its healthy”, then find that it is better then you ever hoped.
Yesterday afternoon we discovered a strange property of this stuff. We tossed the leftover morning coffee, some ice cubes, and some of this stuff into a blender, and let ‘er rip! What we got was something that looked like a badly poured Guinness Stout, that took about as long to settle out. After about 3 or 4 minutes of settling it started to look like a real Guinness, but boy did it taste different. We had also put in the end of a bottle of “Thrilla Vanilla”, but you probably would do better with Jamiesons. Except that it tasted so good, it would be an interesting April fools joke.
So overall, it is really tasty, good for you, and has surprising properties. Better yet, there is a $1 off coupon here.
