If you have kids that like legos, you have to show them this (yes, I’m looking at you, Laura):

First, a political cartoon.  I’ve actually gotten quite worked up about various things happening in politics these days.  Here’s a post that pretty much wraps up my thoughts.  Read some of the comments, too.  A few days ago, I decided that our government no longer really functions the way it should.  And I don’t think it in any way represents “the people.”  I don’t feel like my interests are at all represented and honestly, I don’t think my counterparts’ in the other party are either.  It seems to me it’s a small slice of either crazy people or corporations.  The vast majority of us are basically screwed.  So here’s a cartoon, which doesn’t make me feel any better, but seems right on the money (pun intended).

On the fun side, I’ve been working with animation tools for my class.  And they were very fun to play around with.  Here’s a little something I whipped up during class:

Today, I have a question for you.  What are some jobs you’d do if you weren’t doing what you’re doing now?  These are things that seem fun to you, that you do as an amateur but would never pursue professionally, etc.  Here are mine:

• A wine maker, or similarly a sommelier.
• A chef.  Pastry chef sounds fun, but I don’t think I have the design skills for it at all.
• Restaurant critic (see a theme?)
• Something that involves travel to exotic places, like a travel book writer or something.

What are your pie-in-the-sky careers?
