When you work for yourself you miss out on a lot of internet things that everyone else in the whole world knows about. I don’t have to look busy sitting in front of a computer like I would if I were working a desk job somewhere. Funny viral youtube videos? I’ve probably never seen it. Words With Friends might as well be Greek. Computer game featuring birds being shot into things for points? Yeah. No idea.

Angry Birds!

PT, on the other hand, went through a phase a few months ago where he played Angry Birds like 8 hours a day. I’ve been joking about buying him tshirts every time we pass a store full of Angry Birds merchandise ever sense. So naturally for his birthday yesterday he got a set of three of these little guys.

Cardinal Angry Bird

I found a collection of Angry Bird amigurumi patterns by Deborah Hutchinson, who has cornered the Angry Bird crochet pattern market. Just this week she added four more Angry Bird patterns! Sadly, a week late, since I cooked these up when only her first three patterns were avaliable, including the above Angry Cardinal.

Blue Angry Bird

Angry Blue Bird here, which looks more like a sad blue bird. I think it’s sad because it gets flung at walls. I’d be sad, too, Blue Bird.

Angry... Pig?

And last but not least, an Angry Pig. I don’t get it. I’m like my grandma talking about Angry Birds!

I got up in the middle of the night to hide Angry Birds around the house for PT to find on his birthday. It was pretty cute. Happy birthday, PT!
