A brother's birthday is today. He is 49, physically, and about maybe 4-years old mentally. He is a multiply handicapped individual whom I love dearly. I am thinking of him today. I do not get to see him as oftem as I would like, now that I have moved.

Dance/walk like an Egyptian…Well, it is funny, Judson Laipply (the dancer I mentioned a while back) was one of AOL’s top stories yesterday in entertainment: (http://journals.aol.com/aolvideo/AOLVideoBlog/entries/129) My daughter sent me the original link, which I put in my journal when she saw it (last month I guess); she said it made her happy, and I am sure it makes others happy, too. So I am glad the comedian has the exposure.

Two collages today, one using the same text I have been using a few days, cartoons, and today's uses different cartoon text anagrams, with a little twist, more personal to me than the world I think. Today I used two separate cartoon bubbles and combined them:

"How can you tell the difference?" [and] " I can't explain it sir. The Code cases were out of view only seconds."

These anagrammed referred to Leonardo's codex and back to the Last Supper (again), asking the viewer to look at the original painting versus that which has been "restored", and noticing differences like where the feet are in the painting. A little.synesthesia came up, and part of an "over the hedge" toon worked out nicely for a subtle da vincian view.

Being a little different is just what God wants for me...according to Agnes, at least, lol.

I put two older links on for those who have not seen them:

I hope you understand why.
