Go Figurine


Today I was in Toys R Us and my eyes landed on Play Doh! Cool, wonder if i can mold a doll of one of my friends with this. To explain this, I have for the longest time wanted to immortalise my friends in doll form, if I could somehow add sound clips of their most used words and phrases that would be even better. So today I purchased this $10 kit of play doh and got to work. I chose my friend Karl as my no.1 doll. He has easy to characterize features and i could make him with the colours I had at my disposal. Here is how it turned out.


I made the face first

This is a real life photo of Karl

This took me a few hours I think, at the end of it I was mentally drained, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm not sure if this is the BEST way to make a doll of my friends but it works. Karl is wearing black converse chuck taylors with black laces, tight black jeans, black SYL (Strapping Young Lad) Tee and has thick bushes and long hair.

New Music
- The new Bloc Party album is okay, the song I keep going back to listen to is "The Prayer"
- A band I finally got around to checking out is "The Tough Alliance".
I have been recommended this band through last.fm and various ppl and so tonight i finally found the album, "The New School". The second track on the album, "The New School" reminded me a lot of something you would hear on The Knife - Silent Shout album, I instantly liked. Whilst I cannot see myself playing this album over and over, I do like it. More Swedish goodness. In fact the vocals are kinda annoying me already.

Fav songs from this album
- The New School
- Koka-Kola Veins
- Take No Heroes

This is a pic of "The Tough Alliance" for you ppl of who enjoy visuals.

they should make mini extra "expresso" strength REDBULL shots, the size and flavour of YAKULT.. they could even use the same bottles..

yeah, that'd seriously rock my world :)

:) That would seriously rule!

Is it just me or do things taste better out of a smaller bottle?
