Too much shit clogs my tabs. So it's time to take a link dump....
Lovely, I know.
Body Inflation: I know I've posted some images on this body modification style before, but I'm doing it again. It seems it's since become more popular.
All-Purpose Tanuki Testicles: 19th-century Japanese prints demonstrating the versatility of the raccoon-dog's amazing ballsack.
Tattoos: A handy diagram that shows you the meaning of tattoos as defined by their location on the body (thanks, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) schwartzung).
Gulls' Vicious Attacks on Whales: Sea gulls in Argentinian waters have found a new food source: mukluk.
Stoned wallabies make crop circles: One of my favourite critter-based news stories of all time.
The gift of normal -- Day 1: Prosthetics are life changing: Stephanie Dorsey's ear-popping cheerleading experiences are hilarious. This girl sounds like a hoot!
Bikini Pants: One of the more frightening fashion trends I've seen in a long time. Unless you have a very specifically-shaped body, these pants will make you muffin-top in the most epic of ways.
![[No]](http://inventorspot.com/files/images/bikini_2.img_assist_custom.jpg "[No]")
Get Get Get - Grapes!: A very odd Fantastic Voyagesque music video (thanks, primordial1).
Fun with Nukes: Unusual Explosions: Terrifying and sometimes beautiful. That nuclear rifle is just plain ill-advised, though.
Entire New 13-Story Building Tips Over in Shanghai: "To be fair, the building was under construction and thus unoccupied, but it's still a minor miracle that there was only one fatality."
![[Brace yourself]](http://theinnerbailey.com/bracersnewscale2.jpg "[Brace yourself]")
Scaled Bracers: I like these, and might make a similar set for myself.Van-Tastic Adventures: Road-trip through Australia, and get paid to do so.
Boy Discovers Microbe That Eats Plastic: Excellent, except I think it means that now there will be work on developing microbe-resistant plastics.
Fallen Princesses: Very interesting photography collection. "These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues."
Strange Gel Remote Concept by Panasonic: I'm not sure how this technology works, but I'm sure it will be nabbed by the sex toy industry, if it hasn't yet already (thanks, f00dave). |

| A Trip to the Sky Penis |
[Jun. 30th, 2009|12:39 am] |
After a strange party the night before with people of questionable sobriety (me being one of those questionable people), I woke up and made my way to the CN Tower. Although I've gazed at Toronto's Sky Penis many times, I've never actually gone for a ride up its urethra. On Saturday, up I went.
The elevator goes about 15 mph. That's pretty fast. It's about the same speed that my sphincter puckers firmly shut while I watch the ground disappear beneath me. My ears popped the same way as they would if I were riding in an airplane. From my vantage point in Charlie's great glass elevator, I watched the ground race away from me until the throngs of tourists went from irritating to inconsequential.
I went to the 360 Restaurant, which is a rotating restaurant in the bulging head of the sky penis. The most interesting thing about this restaurant is the rotating view. In the time it took us to eat our meals, the restaurant completed about one and a half revolutions, showing us a fantastic view of the city, Lake Ontario, and the hideous CN rail yard. The least interesting thing was the carpet, so I won't talk about that.
![[Amelia and I]](http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs087.snc1/4912_94011914863_511799863_2054285_7298472_n.jpg "[Amelia and I]")
The food was very pricey, and fell far short of my expectations. I had made the incorrect assumption that because the meals were very expensive, that they would match in quality the equally expensive meal I'd eaten at Verses in Kitchener last month. The food, although not bad, by any stretch of the imagination, was also not great. It struck me as being no tastier than something I might purchase at a mid-priced family restaurant. Still, the food was rather pretty.
First course: Tomatoes, feta, and arugula salad with some sort of balsamic vinegar and oil. Meh.
![[Meh]](http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs087.snc1/4912_94011894863_511799863_2054284_3459126_n.jpg "[Meh]")
Second course: Breast of capon stuffed with mushrooms and served with au jus and mashed sweet potatoes. It was ok, but no better than anything I've eaten at a mid-priced restaurant.
![[Just ok]](http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs107.snc1/4912_94012069863_511799863_2054295_618126_n.jpg "[Just ok]")
Third course: Dark and white chocolate mousse tower with fraiche creme anglais and fresh fruit. The creme and the blackberries were the best part, but still nowhere close to being the most delicious dessert I've ever had. The presentation was clever, I guess. If you use your imagination, you can see how this is supposed to represent the tower I was in at the time.
![[Phallic food]](http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs087.snc1/4912_94012104863_511799863_2054298_1111886_n.jpg "[Phallic food]")
The coffee, however, was the worst coffee I've ever had in a restaurant. I did not take its picture.
After eating, I then went an walked on the glass floor, and experienced a bizarre physiological response to the whole thing. My legs went all wobbly, and I felt my guts suck right up inside my body as I looked almost a mile down beneath my feet. So I laid down and had my picture taken.
![[Felt creepier than this looks]](http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs102.snc1/5008_94012159863_511799863_2054304_7290125_n.jpg "[Felt creepier than this looks]")
Afterwards, when we finally left the intensely overcrowded observation deck, I went downtown and got accosted by a hot chick peddling Bruno merchandise. She tried to get me into her van, but I escaped this succubus. And now I'm home.
Hi.
How was your weekend? |

For those who say stripper dancing (and this is definitely intended to titillate) isn't art, I present this.
(Thanks, Khizmet.) |

| It Continues |
[Jun. 26th, 2009|09:25 am] |
I'm off to Toronto today to go to a party. I was also invited to a kegger party next month. I'm going to the one tonight. Not so sure about the one next month. I've never been to a kegger party, despite being a maritimer. Odd, hmm? Well, if I can find a way there, and a place to stay, I'll do it, even though I'm not beer's biggest fan.
I'm starting to get really freaking paranoid with how many of my friends have been getting injured/sick/hospitalized over the past week. WTF?
In any case, in my continuing mission to shock the sick right out of tailchaser with adorable and horrific imagery, I present you with this:

Today I went swimming with Chase. And then we went for ice cream. Yay!

Guess what I'm not doing tonight?
DJing.
In somewhat news, I've applied for work at a local shop that purveys cool stuff. Here's hoping I get it. I need the money, and the location, and hopefully the hours, are ideal.
I went for a run this morning and saw 8 black/grey squirrels, a bunny, a baby chipmunk, a red squirrel, buttloads of ducks and geese, and one crow that I threw a flower at. The crow glanced askance at me, but did not fly away.
I'm back to the drawing table about my armour again. This time, I want to make something completely different. Leather again, but of a very different style. Pictures will be posted as I make progress. |

First, there were spider socks.
![[Itsy bitsy]](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs083.snc1/4885_87667129863_511799863_1954051_546799_n.jpg "[Itsy bitsy]")
Then there was Captain Stupid!
![[Ahoy!]](http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs103.snc1/4885_87915234863_511799863_1957750_5298958_n.jpg "[Ahoy!]")
And then there was nothing.
![[Oops]](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs102.snc1/4555_88285409863_511799863_1964747_5829352_n.jpg "[Oops]")
Next were flowers.
![[Flowers]](http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs082.snc1/4555_88372679863_511799863_1966350_5431760_n.jpg "[Flowers]")
And mania.
![[Raar!]](http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs102.snc1/4555_88685489863_511799863_1971305_3139517_n.jpg "[Raar!]")
And today? Today there was a Tasselhoff.
![[Meow]](http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs117.snc1/4975_89167394863_511799863_1979109_3286961_n.jpg "[Meow]") |

In the middle of housework and preparations for this week's Underworld extravaganza. Will I accomplish all my goals? Will I make enemies? Find love? Play with teddy bears and pick flowers? Have a late-night rave with other elf chicks? Stay tuned to find out more!
In the meantime, check this shit out.

Ravenswood Leather: Oh, I am in love with some of these clothes....
Africa Acapella: Really well-done, and complete with storm noises.

Babuinul Cu Surpriza: Living hood ornaments.
Mom Gives Birth in her Pants: I sincerely doubt they were the pants in the picture.

That'll do for now. |
