Eye of the tiger

Paintball is fun, but you're always sore after. And you have little round bruises. That's what Link discovered this weekend.

And those of you who use Tiger Balm know that it's awesome. It's like the Force was blended into a jelly. And then infused with ancient Kung Fu. I recommended it for all your sore muscles. And even for your "that-time-of-the-month" back pain. Be warned that the super-concentrated smell will last a while. It's not a bad smell. It's kinda like spices. Epic spices. Gathered by minotaurs in fields of fire. Available in your local pharmacy in the "natural" section, that should be renamed "badass" for containing this!

This week started off okay. Monday always has the weird clients with the weirdest questions. I have no idea why. It's like they practice over the course of the weekend.

Many thanks to kokumi009  for this amazing Muse fanart (Click here to see it!). It's been a while since I drew my muse. Though I think she almost does better then me!

I had a pretty long discussion the other day with queenofthecute  about fans made videos and their pure awesome.

Discovered these lately :
- Epic Shugo Chara - A cute magical girl anime is made epic by changing the music and cutting the scenes quicker.
- Gift and curses - Avatar the last Airbender music fan video - one of queenie's favorites
- Legend of Zelda Trailer - Wondering what the live action movie might look like? These cosplayers did.
- Princess Tutu Epicness - again, a cute magical girl anime (with a side of tragic) turned into something extremely epic.
- Bossy merlin - Disney face characters never cease to amuse.

Behold!

The world is suddenly less awesome.

Yesterday, May 31st, 2010, we have lost a great female artist of modern times. Louise Bourgeois was a fairy-tale and myth loving feminist that did strange sculptures with powerful messages. Today, she has passed away. she was one of my favorite artists.

She was one of my favorites because she was made of pure titanium grade awesome. But also because the name "Louise Bourgeois" will always be linked to me with nostalgia to my home-area of Gatineau-Ottawa. One of her best-known piece, a giant spider called "Mommy", prances fearlessly in the Ottawa city, next to the parliament and in front of the Museum of Art.



A lot of people called this spider a waste of money and space. But tourists loved the spider. And people like me loved the spider. and loved so many more of Bourgeois' work.

Thank you for all your contributions to feminism, to the arts, and thank you for making the arts a better place for women.
