John Hughes has died of a heart attack.

Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family.

He directed such ’80s hit films as “The Breakfast Club,” Weird Science,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

He was 59.

Story developing…

I loved his work. He was a true great. :( He will be missed.

Pain in the Arr…Back

August 6, 2009

In a a lot of ways back pain is like a migraine. It hurts to even think about doing something, to breath, to blink. Just the thought of moving hurts. I hate it. Why does it have to hurt so much. I wish I could just go to bed & wake up & be pain free. But that’s not going to happen. Oh well, time to hobble off to get more things done.

You can’t do whatever you want.

Just because you have bought a bottle of industrial strength bleach & poured it all over your hair doesn’t give you the right to walk out in front of my car. & then give me a dirty look when I nearly run you over. Open your bleached blond eye lashes the next time or I might get blinded by the sun glinting off the peroxided head & not be able to stop in time.

Back to Celtic Design.

August 4, 2009

What with everything I haven’t had time to do too much design lately. But since I found the wonderful Feanor Craft Shop in Bohermore I’ve decided it’s time I tried to get back into it.
Here is what I’m starting with:

Celtic Hanging Boxes.

I’ll keep this updated. I’m hoping to solder the designs onto the wood, but I’m going to have to test the soldering iron on a different piece of wood first though. I’ve never soldered onto wood before & I haven’t used a soldering iron since I was younger then Nic.

Ready for soldering.

The Giant Pink Bunny in the Room

Posted Aug 4th 2009 1:40AM by TMZ Staff

Why ski the Italian Alps when you can climb a giant pink bunny?!

This slightly creepy 200 foot toy pink wool rabbit was erected on an Italian mountainside as part of an art installation and will remain until 2025 for hikers to climb.

Eat your heart out Mt. Everest.
