Deep fried Origami

It's main amusement comes from the intrest others have in the doing of it. The paper gets a wee bit more crisp, but doesn't scorch, and the oil make the color darken a bit, I didn't try white paper so I don't know how clear it wold get.

It's strange also to notice the things people comment when these things occur to me, or when I do them.

Some people say things like, "You have too much time on your hands." and I find that strange.

As if the act of thinking outside the box (okay admittedly waaaay outside the box) has anything to do with activity and time available.

I just came off of a stint of writing something on the order of twenty five pages of script a day for weeks, and moving things into a new place and making two web comics and coming up with new ideas for art projects and .... well you get the idea. And if anything my creative thinking is increased, for all that I am weary physically.

Too much time on my hands, please. Creativity and bussy are not opposites. Fear of being unusual can stifle creativity and I think perhaps that's what has so many people worried. What will the neighbors think.

Well I'd hope that the neighbors would think thoughts but one can never tell these days. Okay so I'm odd, that makes us even... ouch that was bad even for me.

The other one that puzzles me (though it is kind of funny to hear) is, "Uh oh, He's bored." Okay it's fun, and makes me laugh, because quite frankly I can make things very intresting if I ever do get bored, but the thing is that being creative in my world isn't the resort of a bored person.

I find origami fun and intresting, I also will never own a deep fryer because if there is anything I learned since working in a kitchen is that given curiosity and availability there is very little in this world I wouldn't deep fry just to find out what happens and what ideas it can stimulate.

What scares me is that there are people who stand in front of these things and never once allow themselves to wonder how watermelon would taste deepfried (not too bad actually if I remember correctly) and, they can't take the idea to the next level and write a philisophical story about Deep fried melon being a metaphor for the crazy ideas that pass for the world we live in.

Not everybody is a writer, fine then paint or scetch or make a poem. Interpretive dance if you must, mime it at your own risk. Be creative, play with your food, play with your world.

That's sort of wandering and confused but then we are dabbling with the recesses of my mind, so goodnes knows what can come out of this squishy mass between my ears, is it exciting though.

Take care of yourselves
