Link Love Monday

Here’s number 2! They say it takes about 30 days to create a new habit… let’s see if this one sticks!

So here are a few links from my web explorations last week – a little scattered, no theme like last time:

Theo Ellsworth is a self-taught artist and in his words:

He has a miniature city inside of his head that is overrun with funny monsters, yet he still manages to come across as a semi-normal guy.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with him via email all last week since I want to get a hold of some of his books, but his inbox is apparently full. So I broke down and went all old-school – used paper, pen and a stamp.

Plurk – If you need another social whosawhatsit, this is one of the newest (to me at least) and possibly most addicting (yes, more addicting than Twitter) one out there. You not only can follow your friends’ plurks, but you can respond to them and see others’ response as well. You earn “Karma” points for doing things like Plurking something interesting, having people respond to your Plurks, using photos, videos or emoticons in your Plurks. You can also get different colored stars for recruiting people to Plurk (yes, the link to Plurk is one that’ll get me stars…).Yay for another time sink.

Five Plants to Repel Mosquitoes. I have the perfect yard for breeding mosquitoes. Every summer they swarm in droves and they’re so tough, they eat DEET. My plan for the next time I actually get out of the house is to buy some of these supposedly mosquito-repelling plants and put them on my deck.  I would love to go outside and not be afraid of being carried away and sucked dry by those nasty little vampires.
