I bought a monkey mask on a stick while I was at Joann's on Saturday. Since it was a whole buck, and it kept me entertained while I waited for my friend to drag herself out of the cross-stitch section (I ended up dragging her out instead), I decided to splurge. So far, I have had more fun with the mask than with the cross-stitch kit or silicone mold I bought.
Be forewarned, I can now make chocolate hearts.
But this monkey mask is totally awesome. Especially given that I will take the mask with me somewhere and hide it behind my back. After I start chattering with someone, I wait for them to look away and then whip it out (the mask). The reactions are awesome. If I cared more, I might start trying to video this process, but for now, it's a private pleasure. Unless you try it yourself. Pictures may follow.
Also, I may have to go do this out at Red Rock, soon, because if Jim Rhodes gets his way, it will shortly become nigh impossible to drive out to Red Rock Canyon, as he is trying to build a community on top of the old gypsum mine (side note, does building things on top of an old mine sound like a good idea to you?). The Clark County Planning Commission will be meeting on Wednesday to decide if they are are to change the rules to accomodate a developer that filed for bankruptcy last year. I hate to break it to you Jimmy-boy, but the economy has not turned around yet. I don't think people are looking for luxury homes with a view of Red Rock quite yet.
Particularly when there are a pile of foreclosed homes you can pick up cheap these days.
In case you think Jimmy-boy is an ass, feel free to sign the petition telling the CCPC what you think. I'm going to the meeting Wednesday to view the spectacle, hopefully I won't go crazy watching.
