1) Tell everyone you know about PILLOW FIGHT!!!
2) Wait for the Ferry Building clock to strike 6:00pm

& for inspiration (do you need it?) here are some pillow fight photos from london, madrid, tel aviv, and toronto.
wow - this is lovely. for some great anatomy illustrations and historical archive on anatomical drawing, check out Dream Anatomy. make sure not to miss the semi-creepy yet highly beautiful gallery of anatomical drawings. there’s quite a bit to see on that website, such as children’s drawings, modernists takes on anatomy, and realists take on anatomy. lots! link found via boigboing. also, if you’re into this sort of thing, browse the national library of medicine’s vast historical anatomies on the web for more anatomical illustrations & resources.
bork bork bork! here’s a semi-crappy & rather small but yet still fun to watch video clip from the old muppet show. it’s the swedish chef cooking lobster. enjoy!
during your day, please take a moment to check out some really beautiful artwork by kim taylor. seriously lovely stuff on her site. go now.
man, the folks at marvel comics are ruining a good thing. that good thing being spiderman. nerd out with me for a moment: as a kid, i used to really dig spiderman. i wore a spiderman costume for halloween 5 years in a row. i had the cheap web slinger toys that would break all the time. spidey was great! his character was more human and somehow accessible than other world or mutant superheroes/villans. now as if the character of spiderman hasn’t been fucked with enough, the good folks at marvel are giving the poochie from the simpsons treatment to spiderman. fancy new metal suit for starters. here’s a breakdown of what’s been going on in spidey’s comic (and, yes, fictional) world from an unnamed source of infinite comic book knowledge:
…in the last few months, spidey had his eyeball ripped out and devoured by a soul vampire, then he died, then he emerged and cocooned himself, then some ‘cannibal’ spiders showed up at the avenger’s HQ and devoured the husk of peter parker, then formed into an undulating spider ‘woman’, while peter woke up and sprouted wolverine claws out of his arms and then he chased the spider woman, who got away, even though peter’s eye grew back and he’s faster and stronger than ever, because he’s “emabraced” the spider, and then iron man made him a new costume!
there you go. if i had a category section titled ‘things that don’t matter but are lame anyway’ i’d file this there. oh well. RIP classic spidey!
