It’s that time again, the back to school and homework and projects time. I’m back in San Francisco, just in time for some nice warm weather, just as its cooling down back east. I’m also taking some pretty awesome classes this semester…

Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic: in which on the first day, the class stood in a circle and held hands and transfered energy through each other…our teacher has outright said we are going to do “weird” things, this should be interesting and definite something different.

Screen Printing: I am super excited for this, I’ve wanted to learn to screen print for a long time now and its a good cross over from digital media.

Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign: Another class with a teacher I’ve had several times, again a class I’m excited for because I’ve never worked with Indesign.

Frameworks of Art, Design and Technology: This class is with my department chair, and I was really skeptical if I’d stay in this class, because its six hours long on Wednesday starting at 9am and I’m just not a 9am type of girl. But I went to the first class and I’m pretty pumped for it, it should be really interesting and delve into more abstract design ideas.

Math: I don’t know what to think of this class, the teacher is a riot, he says “math is not about numbers, and all that shit, its about all that other shit, and logic is just what you use to clean up after the parade.” Uh what? I don’t know, but apparently Pythagorus was a cult leader? Yeah. This will certainly be an experience…

So the land of school, as of the first week was good, I’m pretty excited to start making stuff again. Outside of school things are more or less typical…

I got another tattoo…a lighthouse.

And I got a haircut, I’ve been wearing my bangs forward like this now, I think its cute.

Here are some weird and wonderful things from the world of youtube…

1) Beaker sings “Yellow” by Coldplay.

2) Elijah Wood and the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba (something weird on its own…look it up if you’ve never heard of it…) dance to the Numa Numa song.

3) Algorithm March…with ninjas? Err what??.

4) Cat yodeling.

5) Moskau! 

6) Ron’s Disease

7) I had to include my favorite PPP too of course…the Mysterious Ticking Noise.

This pretty much made my day…I <3 Obama!

In this week of the weird an wonderful we are going on a magical journey through all that was strange in the recent past, including Garfield, and Ocean’s 11…with Muppets.

1. Garfield Minus Garfield, this site takes a look at the sad life of Jon when Garfield is taken out of the comic. Pretty amusing, in a weird, sad sort of way.

2. “Henson’s 11″, to weird and perfect, whoever made this had way to much time on their hands.

3. We already knew that Japan was a strange place, but take a look at this commercial for bananas…

4. Jack in the Box is notorious for its wacky commercials, especially its commercials that mock other fast food competitors commercials, this one is airing a lot lately and its making fun of the BK commercial about their new mini burgers…its pretty weird and funny. 

In this week of the weird in wonderful, we will be exploring children’s TV, Jackson Pollock and more!

1. Its recently come to my attention that the show Dinosaurs that I watched as a child has an entire episode where the characters are clearly taking drugs and its pretty blatantly obvious! Now I can’t tell if this is more hilarious or disturbing, but you can see for yourselves…

2. If you ever wondered how Pollock did it…clearly spaghetti is the answer, learn how to paint like Pollock! See kids, anyone can make art! Hurrary!

3. This site is along the lines of LOLcat, except er…with babies, entitled “Why The F Did You Have A Kid“, once again another fine line between funny and just plain disturbed. 

4. Why the heck is Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys playing with Rush??? Well I don’t know, quite weird! Though secretly I really like this song.

5. Manbabies..well I think this one probably speaks for itself.

In this week of the weird and wonderful I have stumbled onto some pretty strange things, some wonderful, some not so wonderful…some too weird to actually classify and I thought it would be fun to share with you the odd things I’ve come across lately!

1. Cards that make noise! (My mom and dad are the best! Thanks for sending me such a cute and strange card).

2. Elton John is making a movie…about Aliens…living in the 19th century. Yeah. Read all about it.

3. Fitti found toilettes sitting out in the Tenderloin…you can read his post he’s pretty funny.

4. A woman purposely had octuplets…the whole thing is more than just a bit screwy if you ask me. And apparently people think she’s obsessed with Angelina Jolie?
