Got Some Time to Blow?

Posted on July 15, 2006 by Jenn

teaser-062806.gifI love Arlo and Janis comics. Jimmy Johnson, the artist, captures snippets of married life so well. (Well, at least it resonates with Brian and me. But we could just be weird.) I ran across Mr. Johnson’s blog this week. He includes links to older strips and other interesting info concerning the strip.

I also ran across one of the most interesting stories I’ve read in a while this week. Kyle MacDonald traded one red paper clip for something “bigger and better” and eventually achieved his goal of owning a house. For a paper clip. No kidding. And he didn’t spend a dime. Follow the link and read more than you ever wanted to know about the year-long process. I’m absolutely amazed at this guy’s gumption. So cool.

Do you like number games? My cousin sent me a link to this site that messed with my mind until my uber-intelligent husband figured it out for me. Can you figure it out?

You know, jlove and I are looking at buying a house in the next few months…whatlya give me for a Q-Tip??!

My mom sent me a link to the game a few weeks ago. My co-workers and I played it at work for…well, a while…until we figured it out. At first, we were under the assumption that Satan must have something to do with it! But then the lightbulb went off. Took three of us to figure it out, though.
