Creativeness - a Creative Way to Say Creativity

Today we kind of went crazy, spending the afternoon making a plush comet, through some interesting conversation. It all started when Sachi and Rebecca found a website on which you could buy plush subatomic particles (you should see it - http://www.particlezoo.net/). Then we decided to make our own plush scientific somethings, and after a fair amount of discussion, we decided to make a comet. I had the job of stuffing the comet tails, and eventually I left, explaining that I was tired from stuffing tails. We then thought about how many situations one could say "I was stuffing tails!" Soon Philip came home to write a scientific paper, and when he entered the room where we were sewing our comet, we desperately tried to explain to him what we were doing and why we were making a plush comet. He didn't seem to understand, however, and kept saying that our comet tails looked like tusks. He tried to take one from me and I snatched it back while asking him what he was doing. He replied haughtily, "I was going to demonstrate."

Rebecca was trying to sew the head of the comet to the comet tails using a running stitch and having trouble. Sachi suggested using a circular stitch and Rebecca agreed that that was much easier. Sachi said, "Engineering, it works! That's my motto. Or more like Science, it works! Math, it works! The scientific method, it works!"

A little while later, Sachi said, "We could make a giant squid." I responded, "We could make a life-sized giant squid. I want a beanbag chair that looks like a giant squid and you can position the tenticles however you want."

"Oh, there could be a giant squid beanbag for a kindergarten classroom and each student would have their own tentacle."She went on to say how there didn't even need to be a squid, it could just be a collection of disembodied tentacles. Around this point in time, we decided to write a blog entry about our experiences. I volunteered to get a laptop from downstairs. Soon after, I emerged, completely wrapped in cords and wires. I explained that I had to store the many cords somewhere, although when I was unwrapping myself, it became quite inconvenient.

It took a while, but then we finished the comet.  Sachi takes it, and squeals,  "NEEEEHUG!"   I look up from my laptop.  "Wait, say that again, I want to blog it."  "NEHUGNEEE," Sachi squeals again, hugging the comet.  "Could you say it a bit slower?" I ask.   Sachi shakes her head impatiently. "NEEEHUGNEEEEHUUUUUGGG."

PS: 100th Blog Post! Yay!
PPS: You should all read Philip's scientific paper...
