I put together this entry nearly a month ago. Oops.


+ Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. The Vegetable Orchestra performs music solely on instruments made of vegetables. Using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own extraordinary and vegetabile sound universe. The ensemble overcomes preserved and marinated sound conceptions or tirelessly re-stewed listening habits, putting its focus on expanding the variety of vegetable instruments, developing novel musical ideas and exploring fresh vegetable sound gardens.

+ Banksy art. As I was looking through this, it occurred to me that, in my mind at least, his skill as an artist was superceded by his message.

+ Kermit Bale. This made the rounds on the internet a few weeks ago, but it's still gold.

+ Dolphin Rings. I could spend hours watching this. There is just something so delightful about watching dolphins play.

+ The Butterfly Effect. A one-in-a-million close encounter with an insect convinces him that the theory is true: The fluttering of gossamer wings can change the world. This is a charming article (from the Washington Post, so you might have to log in) about a man who finds himself in the company of a red admiral butterfly.



Lastly, I am lightheaded with coughs. This probably won't be funny to anyone but me, but at the local grocery store, they had remedies for various coughs: Chesty Cough, Tickly Cough, and something else that I can't remember. Tickly cough! How accurately worded, how simply put!
