Last night, I created a gun in second life that entangles a person in a large hamster ball, and enjoyed a little pirate-style fun with HP and her pals! Thanks to Moxie who came up with the idea of turning the cages into spheres!

Bulls-eye caramel circles with cream centers are awesome.

I really like that they've been around at least since the old west in pretty much the same format... The idea of getting some in penny candy and picking up a dime novel about Billy the Kid fairly rocks.

LJ Interests meme results

1. blowing bubbles:
   I've always really liked soap bubbles. They're perfectly round... defy gravity, have a slick of color all over them... and I dig how they fade to gray right before bursting.
2. cryptozoology:
   Yeti. Bigfoot. Nessie. Chupacabra. a 15-year old LJer that doesnt use words like n00b. all are fascinating, and I'd like to think that the beasties exist.
3. folklore:
   You can learn a lot about a culture by reading what it believes... old fairy tales and folk beliefs often impress me by how far on the mark they can be as how far off.
4. herbs:
   Sage & mint... something that anyone can grow at home to add a little something to cooking or folkways/ hedge-witchery (see above) I don't grow all of my own food, but there's a pleasure in putting something I did raise into what is prepared.
5. journaling:
   Records of the past again... my own this time, and I like reading those of many other folks, too. The best reason is so I can look back and see where people were before.. and watch them grow.
6. music:
   Pretty straightforward. I like music, just about all kinds. Solid melodies, and the sort that can move you (to cry or laugh.. or remember) the best.
7. petroglyphs:
   I like caves, and prehistoric/primative man. This is sort of a natural result of the two. I'd love to own land that had caves on it, where I could go and relax.
8. science:
   aquiring knowledge and buildng on it can be a delight. science is a great tool.
9. thunderstorms:
   they bring me peace. good nap weather, lightshows, wate ron glass combine to a favored mood.
10. westerns:
    Distinctly american, and overly romanticised at times, something that happeend only 120 years ago or so seems another planet away. Classic movies, novels, etc... some of my favorite mixes of black & white vs gray areas.
    
    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is still one of my favorite movies of all time, and Riders of the Purple Sage one of my fave books.

Artists erect giant pink bunny on mountain

An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.

Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.
