Has anyone ever seen Cool World? (I bet Erin has domokun )

The TV must have been set on the Turner Classic Movies channel (GOD I love that channel) and I turned it on to see this movie. Pretty interesting idea, really. Although DEFINITELY not formed into a nice solid film. Kinda like The Shadow I suppose. Not absolutely amazing but had the potential to be if the directors hadn't been so stupid xp

ANYWAY. I had T-VO record it for later since it seemed neat. I just finished watching it and it sort of pushed me into that mode where I get this weird grin on my face and feel like laughing or shouting really loud. I love being in this mood, hehe. It is the core of my creative juices, afterall.

Idea:
Everyone knows what a medium is, correct? No not the mathmatical average of a group of numbers. Close.

I am actually referring to the term used for psychics and all those other fakes/crazies who like to do that stuff.

Well, I thought about screwing around with a duel meaning/play on words. I may never get around to it, but I thought it was a funny little idea.

I thought about drawing a psychic woman/man/whatever on a large piece of paper. Next, I would give it some charcoal shading. After that, I would paint over...oh, let's say half of the body or a few limbs or something and bits of conte crayons as well but keeping some of the charcoal in tact. Then I would form half of the face with a good hunk of clay and stick it over the image. I might, next, try to make one of its feet in with ceramic clay and the other in glass--

You're liking this, no?--

I might also attempt a small mosaic on a leg, perhaps. Or, even better, I'd make a little background for the psychic with swirls or something and make some of the swirls in mosaic tiles. I could also incorporate markers into those swirls for an added effect.

After that, it gets kinda fuzzy since I keep thinking of more stuff as I go but I decided that I would have to call it The Art Medium. If anyone knows what art medians are, they'd get this and laugh...or at least they had better laugh.. ninja

Neat idea, eh?

I've also recently created a neat charcoal, conte crayon piece of a man blowing fire from his mouth and I'll burn the sides of the paper where the animated flames touch for fun everntually (Maybe when the parents aren't home and I have time to run to the nearest fire alarm and deactivate it). He turned out very well and I am quite proud of him. I have dubbed this little ember, The Flamer. It made me laugh when I thought of it so I just had to keep it 3nodding

Other news..?

Well I was lucky enough to experience what Histamines can do when they release yesterday after helping Lisa feed a house with 50 dogs, 8 cats, 5 birds and some number of horses.

Let's just say, you don't want to experience what Histamines do when they release. OUCH! I don't know which is worse, sinus pressure or Histamine releases.

For those of you who have never experienced sinus pressure, think of it this way:

Imagine it starting out, feeling like someone is pressing a finger against your face, gently at first. Then it increases as the day goes on or some amount of time passes. Suddenly, it doesn't feel like a finger placing pressure on you, it now feels like there is a small rock stuck somewhere outside the bone but inside the skin that you can't reach and occasionally seems to grind around in the same place, like a fat man on a stationary bike, having a siesure. If you manage to get helpful medication or it leaves on its own, it feels like a balloon deflating and can, actually, make a sqeaking noise as it flees.

That's what it feels like, more or less. As for the Histamine, instead of the rock, you have a sewing needle stuck there, twisting back and forth and, somehow, causing a burning sensation (for you and your partner to enjoy!) that spreads to other areas of the sinuses.

I asked my dad what the hell it was and he told me it was the histamines. Lovely. At first, he thought I was reacting to the KFC since I was eating some yummy potato wedges when it happened. I reminded him that I had gone to the house with the insane number of animals and hay everywhere and we both decided I must have reacted to something out there. I'm still getting some faint amounts of it, but not enough to really bother me and I never did bother to get any medication yet *shrug* The burning needle had only lasted so long and I try to avoid medication as much as possible, unless its mineral suppliments and such xp Certain medication can lower the immune system domokun
