It was a Sunday Night Football night two weeks ago. When the Pats were done, and Charles wasn’t really care about the rest, I started to flip through channels until I saw a cute commercial. It was Pope Francis in various interesting scenarios during his visit to US which captured my eyes. It was only a 30-second commercial, and the shots were too short to catch. Luckily, mom saw it at YouTube and I am able to view it again and again.
Pope Francis is a star!
Stick figure diving
As soon as I knew the new theme of the artwork exhibit at the building is “Art in Sports”, I already had something in my mind – the photo I took in 2008 at the Boston Marathon, close to the finish line. However, the committee members thought that it is still very sensitive now to put up artwork relating to Boston Marathon, especially it’s at the very spot. I have to put this particular photo on hold.
At the same time, I thought that it may be nice if we can have something more cheerful. I remembered a series of action created with a stick figure which I received long, long time ago. I have converted the pages into flash movie, and gif for this post. Hopefully it can bring viewers more happy memories about sport.
I was shopping with my hubby last Saturday at Staples for an ink cartridge. The ink jet printer that we have at home is quite an old model and we haven’t really use it that much. We don’t even know if that machine works. The shop was loaded with new stuff and we couldn’t manage to find the right one at the rack. Finally, we asked the assistant at the shop and realized that it requires special order and the ink cartridge is pretty expensive. Oh well, maybe it’s the right time to get a new printer since we can get a new one for less than $100, which can scan, print and copy these days.
We then shopped around, looked for a new printer. Surprisingly, we came across a new product, a Smart Pen. It seems it can do almost everything you want when you are taking notes. I said to my hubby that it is exactly what he needs when he’s working on his research. But, hold on. It requires a special kind of paper to utilize that smart pen. I know my hubby writes on almost anything which comes handy. Oh well, it may not be the perfect idea for him to use this smart pen. I just think that my hubby needs to be consistence in keeping his ideas. I used to have a notebook, which is a visual diary. Coz I draw a lot and write a lot. A blank writing/ drawing pad is perfect for me to put my ideas into it and I know exactly where are my ideas.
