glazed glitter
Y'know, one of the bad things about the accessibility of the web is that angsting folks can put up their bad poetry for the world to see with impugnity. "Look! I'm so -modern- and -technologically advanced- that I can make a web page like -everybody else's- that has pictures of my -cat- and all the poetry I've written since I was -sixteen!-"

Ugh.

Luckily, glazed glitter is not like that. It's poetry. Kind of. It's multimedia fiction. Kind of.

I guess the best way to describe it is to say that it's like a Dadaist wet/b dream with totally random overtones. But it's very, very cool.

Wu-Names
All right, so just about everyone has seen this. But it bears repeating, just for amusement value. Get your own wu-name (inspired by the wu-tang clan of pop music, I guess -- I'm not up on who they are.) here --

And I think I'm changing my name to "Optimistic Lyricist", which is what it spits back for my name.

The Church of the Heavenly Wood
Now, when I was living in Portland, I found out about the Church Of Elvis, and thought I'd found the ultimate in church kitsch. Obviously, I was mistaken.

TCotHW is a church that follows the divine teachings of none other than legendary bad filmmaker, Ed Wood.

Will wonders never cease....

An Online Snow Auction
Proving that yes, indeed, -anything- will sell on eBay, the pounds of snow that fell on this poor guy and his family ended up stopping the auction at $10 -million-. Of course, it's nothing compared to the guy who was trying to sell his little brother, the young kid who was trying to sell his virginity, and the freak who was trying to sell his very soul -- but hey. Got to give him credit for being original.

Ghost Investigations and Photos
Okay.....under the "too much time on my hands" category, this one ranks right up there with the big boys. She's a psychic investigator with many ghost photos on her site -- and if you pay her, she'll even investigate the ghosts on your property, too.

Isn't that special?

Haiku Gift
This place lets you write your own haiku, format it in a sort of stylized Martha Stewart setting, and will then send it to the user of your choice. Pretty nifty.

Name That Candy Bar
File this one under the "way too much time on your hands" category. Put out by a Minnesota museum, you get to examine the strata of varied confectionary delights, and guess what they are. The first few are deceptively simple, then they get harder on the second page. Really fun stuff for that no-brainer day.

Daze of our Lives
This falls under the category of "Damn! I wish I'd got off my lazy butt and HTML'ed my idea first!!!"

I had this idea to put up old woodcut illustrations and let people submit their own captions -- this guy puts up his own captions, but they're hilarious.

Great minds think alike.
