honestly, i think the song Blue by Eiffel 65 functions quite well as an auditory rorschach test

in fourth grade i had a feeling that one of the aides that supervised us at lunch and afterschool care was gay, but he was extremely low-key about it. one day he came up to me to ask if i knew the lyrics to the song, because he swore after the first "da ba dee da ba di" the words were "i'm in need of a guy"

anyways, he came out of the closet two years later

Food Rorschach Tests

Quick, what comes to mind when you see these Rorschach tests made with food? Madrid-based photographer Esther Lobo created a series of fantastic Rorschach inkblot tests made with yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, condiments, and other types of food:

"The stains were made completely manually with my own hands and without post-processing tricks. I used soft plastic plates (Foamy). Then I dropped foods such as mustard, squid ink or soya over the plates. After bending the plates I obtained the symmetric stains. Finally I have placed the source of the stain over the symmetrical image, and so documented the psychological portrait of each food stuff."

What first comes to mind when you look at each image is supposed to say something about your personality. But in this case, it might just be hunger.

Winning is long, winning is slow, winning is uncertain, but if you win you will have the satisfaction of trampling on the faces of your fellows. You have created misery in others, depriving them of their hard won money and the self-esteem that is wadded up with it and that is your triumph. Schadenfreude must be said, but that is a lily-livered milksop word of quiet revelry. Hitler would have enjoyed Monopoly I grant you, but what game would Ghengis Khan have enjoyed more?

Here, have an awesome progress picture of my friend Guan's recent art project.

Seriously how cool are these?? They're all based on people.

Holy books are like rorschach tests, throw enough ink onto pages and people will see what they want.

Map of the trip

Apparently, my 20,000 mile trip resembles a three-pointed ninja star. Or a long-beaked stork. Or a sagging aerial.
