Technology, beauty, and butterflies
Or do other people need to take off their sunglasses to hear properly? I don’t know why I need to do this but somehow the tint of the lense makes words incomprehensible.
Yes, I know I’m weird.
Or could that be why Mrs Beckham looks so out of it whenever she’s asked questions? She’s not being rude- she just can’t HEAR them. Hmm.
Perfect for me wouldn’t you say? This tea towel manages to exemplify everything I stand for.. now if only they had one for a microwave!
As my friends have said many a time, ‘If you weren’t vegetarian, you’d have probably poisoned yourself by now.’
Sadly, they might be right.
I fell down some stairs in December. No, I wasn’t pushed, didn’t encounter any horrible sort of attack, I’m just clumsy. And I fell badly and bruised my coccyx. For those unfamiliar with that term, it’s the tip of the tailbone, where we *may* have once had a tail. And I bumped ungracefully onto it, And it hurt. And it STILL hurts.
It has kind of got beyond a joke. As much as people snigger if you say your arse hurts ‘what have you been doing!’, it’s no joke. It’s permanently sore to sit up/stand down/ crouch and I hate this feeling of being incapacitated. I’ve started to take my body into consideration when doing activities/events/ bending and I’m really not happy with that. My body, whilst perhaps never the most streamlined or athletic tool in the box was pretty much pain free (barring four days a month). Read more…
I’m not ashamed to admit there are many words I don’t l know. Part of being such a ridiculous reader (3 books a week has often rasied eyebrows) means that I come across a wide variety of words I’m unfamiliar with. In the flow of the sentences they seem understandable, but can I use them in a conversation? Um, probably not. So I’ve taken to writing them down and looking them up, and have decided that Encarta Dictionary is better than Dictionary.com and Wikipedia for a definition (and briefer).
Here are the words I’m learning at the moment- and don’t laugh, as I know you have your own moments of mental blankness as well.
-Polemic
1. Passionate argument: a passionate, strongly worded, and often controversial argument against or, less often, in favor of somebody or something
2. Passionate critic: somebody who engages in a passionate dispute about or argues passionately against somebody or something Read more…
When I was younger Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favourite films. I wanted to inhale fizzy drinks to make me fly (minus the killer fans),consume sweets that were a three course dinner, and of course, lick wallpaper that tasted yummy. Well one out of three ain’t bad, so say hello to Flavor Paper.
This rather vibrant looking stuff comes in a multitude of flavours, from fruit medley to bananas, and tutti frutti. Their website doesn’t give prices, but seems to imply that they’ll make ANYTHING flavourfull, so you can have scented flock designs if garish cherry panels aren’t your thing.
Simply scratch and sniff the panels, and voila, a burst of fruity freshness will assualt your olfactory senses!
I haven’t done a dating/personality test in years, but when the lovely Ann insisted I try one, I thought ‘why not?’. Little did I know I’d be deciding whether I’d choose my survival over ten strangers.. or over ten thousand strangers!
Add a couple of questions about just how much money it would take to buy me and it was a fairly uncomfortable experience. The results are in though, and I’m the ‘Wild Rose’, also known as the Random Brutal Love Dreamer.
See what that means after the jump.
