I loved the musical sketch “Boy Dance Party” when it aired on Saturday Night Live way back in October. Bruce Willis and all the guys dancing around the living room while the girls were away?
Instant classic.
If possible, it has been made even better with the addition of a very enthusiastic toddler.
His parents won’t let people embed the video, but you can still enjoy it on Youtube.
(I like the kid way better than them.)

Images in black-and-white have a special power.
"After"
But, as hard as it is to believe, this isn’t a photograph.
It’s a pencil sketch — graphite on cartridge paper — by Scottish artist Paul Cadden.
Cadden is a student of the hyperrealism movement. Where as photorealists strive to meticulously recreate an image, artists of the hyperrealist bent add their own emotions and narrative to take it to another level.
“Intensify the normal” is how Cadden describes his process.
“After” is just one example of his success.

The Sticky Egg 
Titleprov
I just learned that improvised dance is called ‘danceprov.’
So does it follow then that stream of consciousness writing is…’writeprov?’
Spur-of-the-moment shopping is…’spendprov?’
Snacking when you’re bored is…’bingeprov?’
Sketching on a napkin is…’doodleprov?’
Writing your daily blog when you don’t have a topic is…
‘Postprov?’
