BLOG IT
As a kid, did you get into trouble playing with your food? Well, now that you’re an adult you can legitimately play with your food — by blogging about it. Like this guy, who started The Pancake Project (http://thepancakeproject.blogspot.com). It’s a site that features “art” created out of pancake batter. And I’d go so far as to call it brilliant. Or, at the least, The Next Big Thing. The fairly new blog features such masterpieces as an entirely pancake rendition of “The Scream”; eggs, bacon and toast look-alikes; and “Dr. Horrible” himself. Of course, the piece de resistance thus far is surely the project titled simply “Leggo my Eggo!” It involves a pancake hand holding an Eggo waffle, but the hand ends at the wrist — in a pile of red jam. In a word: awesome. (Well, or “gross.” Your choice.) Want in on the fun? He occasionally posts guests’ pancake designs. Of course, he’ll take any suggestions you may have, too.
SCREEN SCENE
NOW SHOWING: Edge of Darkness
Mel Gibson’s ongoation project begins with this Martin Campbell-directed thriller that casts the controversial actor/director as a Boston cop attempting to get to the bottom of who murdered his adult daughter. Was it a simple case of home invasion or was she targeted for death by the giant corporation she worked for? Danny Huston and Ray Winstone co-star. — By Ethan Alter
