It is Monday, right? Okay, here you go. This is Boooon! City, a Japanese site with a bunch of adorable free downloadable easy car models. The various vehicles have a little personal backstory which you can see if you can find a translator, I would advise this link. Paste the url for Booon! into the big box at the top, check the button on the right under that, and hit the button outlined in orange. But be aware that you cannot click the pdf files from within the Excite interface, you have to do it at the direct site page.
It's probably not worth bothering, really, except that you'll learn that the pink sports car is not a girlcar but instead the other sports car's little brother, and that the bus seems to have road rage. So you might as well skip that and just mouse over the links till you find a pdf, click, and away you go.
As always, you'll need Adobe Reader, which you can get free here or even here. You'll also need a printer, but I can't help with that.

Oh, my dear. I am sorry. I am in a craptastical mood. I hate Adobe (although I like adobe). I am fucking sick and tired of gratuitous meanness. (This has nothing to do with you or this blog: I am primarily thinking of discussions about how pole-vaulter Allison Stokke should serve as the manifestation (and concomitant sacrifice) of and for her father's evil, or about how the hapless dipshit TB guy should be burned alive on account of he's a fucking lawyer and knew exactly what he was doing and didn't care that he exposed bazillions of people to a disease he felt he was too good to have contracted, and other hugetastical mean stuff like that, including the deliberate infliction of suffering upon women who are faced with the horrific necessity of a late term abortion. Blah blah blah.)
Does anyone have anything pleasant to relate? Anything that might confirm that we are all ephemeral carbon-based life forms? Tree pretty? Fire pretty?
I put some basil seeds into a pot at the place I was house-sitting. They sprouted. Then I had to leave. I can't transplant or thin them until they get two leaf-thingies. Hey! I left the house a few days ago, and have just been invited back to water the garden and walk the precious love-pup (it was a house and pup-sit job), and so I am going to try to perpetuate the basils. This may happen Tuesday. What if I were magical? What if I were a superhero? I'd teleport every single human who's scheduled to get killed in Iraq tomorrow to this beautiful brick patio, and ask 'em to help me transplant the basil. And I'd make a big batch of iced tea. And I'd let them pet the pup. And I'd give them all new identities, and mind-wipes if they wanted, and send them forth into a world in which they weren't going to die today.
And then I guess I'd come back here to mourn the people who died Tuesday and who I didn't figure into my rescue plans.
D.Sidhe: I think I know you know what I mean. Do I?
Larkspur
This is a crisis that's self-limiting and of short duration. There is no rescue obligation. Love you all, mkthx.
A bit off-topic here, but I was thinking of making a Bullshit Detector as a birthday present for our little Doktorling. You know, a small hand-held tricorder thing that flashes lights and goes Beep! from time to time. I think she needs something that she can take to school and leave on the desk while the teacher is talking. I trust her not to use it on me...
Anyway, it occurred to me that perhaps someone has already designed a cardboard cut-out version that I could download.
So I wondered, Who is the expert on detecting bullshit, and downloadable models?
My first thought was a tricorder, but I honestly don't think there's one out there yet. The guy at Albion Rising is working on one, in the meantime you can find his communicator. Go to "Trek PM".
But I do have a really cool link to a Doom Button, which Larkspur might also dig.
I've had days like that, too, btw. You can borrow my sticky note. It sticks to my computer and says, "You are irrationally depressed. Doing anything about that would be irrational." Amazing how well that thing works. One day at a time, it's had me still here for well over a year.
I think most people would be amazed at what's survivable as long as you know it has to stop eventually.
Thanks, D.Sidhe.

There is a rainbow lorikeet outside my window at the moment, teasing the cats. Not native to New Zealand but someone introduced them from Australia. The lorikeets, I mean, not cats, who came from everywhere.
It might not be as good as a tree octopus, but it cheers me up.
I didn't leave any comments on your "History made by stupid people" post, or "Second Best" up-stream. Please take the head-nodding agreement as read.
Hey, you don't have to agree with me to get me to show you papertoys. I just finished putting together Rob Ives' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof freebie, you can get him from www.freebieholics.co.uk, though you have to register (for free, of course) but you can always unsub after you download. Makes a nice change from crane folding, sometimes...
