Two great blogs

John Malkovich filmJohn Malkovich animated short film on Not the Kinda Cool You're Looking For

PhysicsABC in physics diagrams on Notebookism

We are so pleased to have been featured on two excellent blogs recently. Curtis James featured our Scrap Journal on his blog, Not the Kinda Cool You're Looking For. From an amazing animated film by John Malkovich to a heartbreaking documentary about hoarders (scroll down the post to the film Possessed) to all kinds of oddities, peculiarities and trifles, we beg to differ--this is exactly the kind of cool we are looking for.

Also, thanks to Notebookism for their nod to our Scrap Journals. Here is a quote from their About Us page:

"We all share a pleasant affliction - the urge to create on paper.

The smell of smooth creamy paper sends our hearts aflutter. The delicate tinkling of nib against inkwell accelerates our pulse rate. We stare endlessly at the first blank page.

Welcome to Notebookism. This is the place to indulge yourself with kindred spirits."

Sounds like our kind of people!

Visit these two cool blogs. You will thank yourself.

Ringliing Circus vignette 2

These vignettes from the Museum of the American Circus are kind of creepy. This may not be altogether inappropriate: I am reading a novel called Water for Elephants, and if it is at all accurate, the circus back in its heyday was a little bit of an unsavory place behind the scenes.
