I've begun to save up my belly-button lint for various felting projects. Voodoo dolls, felted animals, etc. Actually, it'll probably just be the Voodoo doll, the sample below represents a weeks worth of collecting (plucked every morning and night), by the numbers this is a project that could take years. Sometimes you just need to damn the math and get on with it...And I clearly need to mix up my wardrobe a bit to give it a little more color...
When it's done this will undoubtedly be the most romantic gift in the world...

An interesting article in The Atlantic on a curious star that might (slender might, probably not-might, but curious nonetheless) have a Dyson Sphere built around it.

Our track record when it comes to holidays is pretty spotty. Sometimes we close, sometimes we open. When we're open the owner would joke: "Beats staying at home and babysitting..." and laugh, he didn't get that some of us liked our kids and family...
Holidays are usually busy, busy with people that don't value holidays or tipping, cruel to say, but generally immigrant families who don't know how to make a turkey, or don't have space to accommodate them all...they'd usually want to bring their own dessert, and drink water, you could be run off your feet and make what you'd a made on a slow Tuesday or Wednesday lunch.
So we close, the owner's gotten a little more laid back about this holiday stuff, only now instead of working the half day Monday we work the entire rest of the week, doubles every one, no matter how slow or unnecessary we are. And so the long weekend becomes an even longer week...
