Happiness!! All have returned!

Everyone's back home from their holidays overseas! Both Ralphie and I are very happy to see everyone!

Gye Greene brought back a pile of ten(?) CDs from a friend from his college dorm. He was too busy during his trip to listen to them, so he and I will have to listen to them together. Once we do, I'll post a review of some sort. The friend's name is Chris Gunn, and lives in Port Townsend, Washington (state).

Kanji Noodles

Last night I had a dream regarding a new art form. One would write Chinese or Japanese calligraphy, but using cooked spaghetti noodles rather than ink. One would carefully arrange the noodles on paper in the correct configuration, then let them dry in place. Once dried, they would stick to the paper.

For contrast, the paper would have to be a dark color -- maybe black.

The Japanese word for the pictograms are "kanji." Thus, "Kanji Noodles." Which would be a good band name.
