Anyhoo, so I was looking through all of the dorky pictures and documents from freshmen year and found a lovely crap-to-rad project from my dorm days.

This pinata of President George Bush’s head was made for the college democrats, who then decided it was a bad idea to actually break it open. Something to do with decency. . . but Isay, “hey, what about all those ‘Free Hugs’ strumpets, eh?” Well whatever, the pinata is mounted in the college democrats headquarters. I think I heard they were going to riff on the classic ‘two girls one cup’, fill it up with triumphant excrement, and set it on fire on the White House steps. Yea! Victory assholes! That would be fine with me.

All you need is balloons, newspaper and flour paste.  I used a blow dryer to speed up the project, and painted it with acrylics. I remember getting a lot of weird looks from hallmates. Like they have never seen a newspaper effigy of their president before. Odd.

This blog’s not about bitchin-original projects, more just an archive of crap turned to goodness.  You might be thinking, “gee, for being so hip and creative, you’re using a a blog template found on the fourth page of template options.Hmm . . .” Well folks, I’m just not that computery. And *pssh!* quit frontin’ anyhow, it’s so tacky to throw stones.

So anyhow, on with the show . . .

List of things Made Today:

micturation
poached eggs
toast
lint collector

Today’s exciting project is especially special since it is a thingy to collect crap for another project. For Christmas I’m going to make fire-starters and so I have to accumulate lint, wax and paper egg cartons. In order to encourage my roommates to save their laundry, pocket, and bellybutton lint I made this lint-eating critter from a cereal box and a grocery bag. I thought about painting it, and making it really neat, but, I like its obvious recycled quality. Maybe I’ll abandon the fire-starting project, and make some neato lint critters for Christmas.
