First, I want to thank anyone who’s still visiting this blog. I realize that I haven’t been around for a while, but starting now, that’s going to change. I’ll be devoting huge quantities of time to the Internet. I’m going to be like Sandra Bullock in that movie The Net, where she was always on the Internet or whatever.
Speaking of movies, while I was away, I saw that most life-altering, mind-blowing, heartrending, film ever to be projected onto the silver screen: Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. The title may actually just be “Thor,” but for some baffling/genius reason it was directed by Kenneth Branagh; and so, it only makes sense to refer to the movie as Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, or, alternatively, Thor: A Kenneth Branagh Joint.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I strongly suggest that you reevaluate the direction your life is headed, and if you saw it, but didn’t enjoy it, then you should begin questioning your sanity because you are insane.
Anyway, as a result of seeing the movie, I’m now obsessed with Thor. I bought a book on Norse mythology, ordered a Thor comic from Amazon, and have been naming all of my Sims after Norse gods.
Also, for the first time, I understand why Sara from Adventures in Babysitting, wore that Thor helmet all the time. Like, I can totally relate.
...And I’m pretty sure that she gets so upset with Brad for calling Thor a “homo,” not because there’s anything wrong with being gay, but because she’s an incredibly progressive 1980s-8-year-old and feels that her brother is being insensitive, offensive, and decidedly un-PG-13.
Because--like my idol, Sara--I believe that no outfit is complete without a silver-winged helmet, but am, unfortunately, too poor to buy one from Target, I decided to make my own. You can make one too.
What You'll Need:
- Cardboard
- Aluminum Foil
- Duct Tape
- Scissors
- Pencil
- A head that isn't super big
- Low expectations
Instructions:
1. Draw a wing on your cardboard, cut it out, trace that first wing onto another piece of cardboard, then cut out the second wing. Incidentally, if you accidentally bought a pack of Kotex without wings, you can tape these cardboard wings onto either side of your pad for maximum coverage.
2. Wrap those wings in aluminum foil, yo.
3. Cut some strips from your scrap cardboard, tape the strips together so that they form a circle/crown that fits around your noggin.
4. Tape the wings onto the sides of your cardboard headband.
5. Wrap all exposed cardboard in aluminum foil. Put it on your head. Look hella fresh.
6. Drop your car off at an auto body shop and pay for everything with your "helmet."
