VACATIONS
A vacation is when you take a trip to some fake
ADJECTIVE place with your hideous
ADJECTIVE family. Usually you go to some place that is near a/an plastic bottle
NOUN or up on a/an hat
NOUN. A good vacation place is one where you can ride boxes
ANIMAL (PLURAL) or play Kick Butt
GAME or go hunting for cheap plastic chairs
PLURAL NOUN. I like to spend my time spitting 
VERB ENDING IN 'ING' or singing
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. When parents go on a vacation, they spend their time eating three cakes
FOOD (PLURAL) a day, and fathers play golf, and mothers sit around fighting
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. Last summer, my little brother fell in a/an duck
NOUN and got poison mint
PLANT all over his arm
PART OF THE BODY. My family is going to go to somewhere
PLACE, and I will practice crying
VERB ENDING IN 'ING'. Parents need vacations more than kids because parents are always very awesome
ADJECTIVE and because they have to work 10,000
NUMBER hours every day all year making enough grasses
PLURAL NOUN to pay for the vacation.

The insanity you've just read was simply the work of the amazing app, Mad Libs. That's right-  they've made it so easy to create a Mad Lib, that even a gorilla could create one by pressing a bunch of buttons on a tap screen.

Although, like many others, this app has it's ups and        downs. For example, it's much more convenient to bring your iphone/ ipod touch than to lug a pad and a pencil (that needs to be sharpened) into a car during a road trip. But then again, people tend to get seasick playing on their phone in the car. Or the fact that you're not wasting trees (for paper) by using the application. While on the other hand, you are still leaving a footprint by using electricity (to charge your electronic device). 

You may understand that these pros and cons are simply at a tie. So, I've decided to give it a neutral 2.5 stars; The choice is yours to make.

Now tell US what YOU think of this application by leaving a comment below. Thanks! And keep on smelling!

Eco-Friendly Widget

I found the coolest little eco-friendly widget. The meaning of it was to prove that even un-recyclable  waste can also have new life!

Click on any of the objects, and they'll turn into reused consumer products.






This widget thing-of-a-bob was brought to you by the amazing going green company, Terracycle. To learn more about them and their green awesomeness, visit terracycle.net.

Ouch! Summer's Almost Over

Oh no! 2/3 of this summer has faded away already! With this as our last month, we've got to spend our speeding time wisely. Got no clue? Let us give you a hint: being awesome by keeping up with Smellityet. "What do you mean, Legoman?" Well, like the speed of how fast the coming month will go by, so will a horde of new and improved posts. This month only we shall have a special of delivering a post every other day.

Let me say that again: every other day. And again: every other day. And again: every other day.

Okay, I kinda got out of hand there. I just like those bold letters, they're just so fun!

Anyways, here's the game plan: You simply remain awesome, step back, and watch a division of posts pass through your eyes in a month!

Keep on smelling!

Old Clip

I was cleaning the desktop on my computer, (yes, my desktop is overflowing, too) when I discovered this:







What is it, you ask? Well, it's a year-old-video-that-I-happened-to-forget-about-and-it-doesn't-have-sound-either-oh-well-that's-too-bad-but-then-again-I-might-have-deleted-it-anyways-so-just-go-ahead-and-watch-it. Wow, that must have been one big breath you needed to read that sentence out loud.

"Pika Pi" in Eight Bits

I when was cleaning out some old files and junk papers on my desk, I uncovered this:

What is this? I wasn't exactly sure until I stood back three feet. This was a Pikachu (Pokemon) I drew three years ago. Back away from the screen and enjoy!

Crochet Ninja Chick Pattern

     Hello Smellityet viewers! Recently, I have been spending my time crocheting amigurumi. They're basically little, cute stuffed toys. Today, I've decided to try my hand at creating my own pattern, a ninja chick. I really liked the simplicity of crocheting a chick, but it didn't seem ideal for boys, so I decided to add the ninja aspect to make it more "manly." It could also be a normal ninja if you decide to use a skin-toned yarn instead of yellow and don't add a beak. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments and I'll be happy to help.

Game: Windfall

Since today is Earth Day, I wanted to share this game I found from addictinggames.com. It's called Windfall. The scenario if the game is to build wind turbines to help the world go green. Watch out, though- citizens of the area are very picky, so be selective as to where you place the wind turbines. Try it out for yourself! :)
