What aspect of me is making it so hard to sit down and do the work I know I need (and, truly, want) to do?

Ha. Maybe more of a pointed answer than you were expecting?The Fool wants to wander off and surrender to the whims of the cosmos — he trusts that they’re identical to his own whims, which at this stage are still a secret to himself. You’re lucky to have this aspect of yourself so close to the surface!If you can’t indulge him right this second, you can at least honor him. Put his image where you can see it, as a reminder of the freedom that awaits you on the horizon once you’ve satisfied certain obligations. Honor him by spending some of your downtime in a way that’s nourishing or invigorating — don’t just numb yourself or fall into hibernation.

If this important work of yours is a longer-term endeavor, then you’ve to find a way to answer this calling — because that’s what it is, not laziness or just some passing fancy — in a way that runs alongside your current path. Repress him and you’ll get nowhere. Indulge him — even a little — and you will feel gentle winds guiding you toward progress.

Tlingit War Helmet Rediscovered after 100 years

A fantastic Tlingit war helmet has been recently rediscovered in the backroom of a museum in Springfield, Massachussests.  The helmet was accessioned in 1899 as an “Aleutian hat” and the designation was never questioned until now.

The article also contains a neato painting by Ketchikan artist Ray Troll and, amidst a really fascinating batch of comments, a pic of a helmet modeled after someone with Bell's Palsy.

Zoë Bell  is a New Zealand stuntwoman and actress. Some of her most notable stunt work includes doubling for Lucy Lawless on Xena: Warrior Princess and for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. 

As an actress, she has appeared both on television and in feature films and also starred in the web series Angel of Death. Other works include : Oblivion, Death Proof, Kill Bill, Gamer, Inglorious Bastards, Whip It! and Django Unchained.

Continuity Error - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

In one scene, Kevin McCallister looks out at the New York skyline and whispers, “Good night, Mom.” His mother then looks out a different window and whispers, “Good night, Kevin,” despite being in Miami, over 1200 miles away! This mistake could be overlooked if not for the fact that the entire basis of the film is that Kevin is separated from his family, thus making the idea that they are having a conversation ridiculous.

It wasn’t until reading the second issue of The Search that I remembered that the 2x3-foot map of the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe that I drew last year is still available here as a 300 dpi, unflattened, print-quality Photoshop file.
