I intended to write this…I think before Halloween.

With reading, I’m something of a completionist (I think the number of books I’ve started and not finished is five or fewer, and most in the past couple of years). With writing, clearly, a procrastin…ist.

Anyway, as I was doing live-DJ yoga and thinking about mashup titles, I was also thinking about graphic design and visual puns. Their analogue re: sound is obvious–mixes–carrying on the declaration of “This thing looks like this other thing,” but with music. Sound, of course, also gives us puns.

So we’ve covered vision and hearing. Food contributes double: in terms of taste with things like herb substitutions, and visually when people do things like make mashed potatoes in the shape of cupcakes. So sight, sound, taste. What about touch and smell? All I’m coming up with are: peeled grapes as a Halloween-time petting zoo substitute for eyeballs, and durians smelling like…well, a whole heap of things that are highly unrelated to durians or any fruits.
