Making Faces

Things with faces:

1. You, probably.

2. Me, definitely.

4. My research. Just finishing up my final paper for my class on theories of affect. One of the things we talked about is nonrepresentational codes being transmitted via facial expressions, which I think is illustrated wonderfully by the video for “Two Weeks”.

5. This monster child.

6. A hilarious animated gif of Simon Cowell watching Susan Boyle:

6. Your mom. Burn!
