And One More Thing...
Round two begins. I have chosen to do Exploration #10 ”One Thing“. I must choose an everyday object from anywhere, and basically stare at the top and bottom of it for at least two minutes for each. I then will write down everything I see in detail. Who knows, I might spend hours staring at something...oh man...

A Magical Connection
I decided (slash had to) go back and take what I had found in my exploration of ”magical objects“ and ”connect“ them to a reading we had. Here are some interesting words and phrases that I found that I feel connect with my explorations:
- Worry about teeth (Magic Toothbrush)
- Bleak, cold, and drizzly (Magic Acorn)
- ”I think I also felt compelled to favor the man made over the natural“ (Magic Lamp)
- Idle exercises (Magic Trash Can)
- Look beyond (Magic Poster)
- Lucky (Any)
- Why not just say no? (Magic Index Cards)
- Goose and comet-free environment (Magic Belt)
- Meaningless to the general public (Magic Spoon)
- Can generate hundreds (Magic Salt Shaker)
- ”I had to sit on the floor for a few minutes before I quite new what hit me“ (Any)
- ”To invent something new by combining elements nobody else thought to pair“
- ”Sometimes the most powerful ideas come from simply combining two existing ideas nobody else ever thought to unite“
- ”Invention isn't some impenetrable branch of magic: anyone can have a go.“
- Flick on the lights
- Be ready for anything

Abracadabra!
I have decided that for my first exploration, I will do Exploration #32: World of Magic. I have always wanted magic to be real, and something I can use. There are endless possibilities when you look around and find random objects to apply magical abilities to. I have already started selecting those objects and throwing some weird magic-tastic history to them. Here goes nothing...
