Since the box only cost $1 and my origami skills are lacking, I bought 5 boxes. Tonight my friend Dan and I attempted our first origami dinosaurs. We started with T-Rex since the instructions looked simpler than the other dinosaurs. After some struggling along, our T-Rex creations look *almost* like …

Paleontologist Barbie
Paleontologist Barbie arrived today in the mail. After reading this blog post I just couldn’t resist ordering my very own Paleontologist Barbie from ebay. Best $30 I’ve spent in a long time.
