so with election day happening in Americaland this week it was almost inevitable that Brad Fish, host of the hilarious 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' series on You Tube would lend some words of warning as to why voting for the elections [with an 'L'] can be a Dangerous Thing for reasons you might Least Expect... check it out and if it makes you smile, laugh, giggle or snort some kind of liquid through [...]
Meat Romney? so i wrote about the elections the other day and think some people may have been disappointed by me not actually talking all that sepcifically about the elections and voting in it, as the bottom line of my post was that 'we vote every day by our actions' which is completely true and probably a lot more specifically relevant than the actual vote i do or don't cast [well i don't [...]
when i saw the topic for this week's photo challenge was geometry i quickly ended up at this photo which was the unfortunate consequence of an inspirationally creative idea colliding with a unfortunate forgetting of a necessary tool to pull off said idea... every year i have cycled the 109km [67.7295 mile] Argus Cycle tour in Cape Town, South Africa, both the largest individual times race in the world and one of the most beautiful [...]
at the simple way tonite we had Chris Haw come and share on the question of whether or not to vote... it was a really interesting discussion and sharing time and i imagine there was enough sensible reason given to vote [and this seriously piss off the 'thou shalt not vote' people] as well as enough sensible reason given not to vote [ditto with the 'tis within your moral obligation to the world to vote' [...]
Famous stuffed dolphin No_bob encounters famous Petronas towers a few years ago i attended a youth conference in Malaysia and so naturally i took the world's most famous stuffed dolphin, No_bob [I was going to call him 'Bob' but he doesn't bob] with me... this picture in front of the Petronas towers signifies the tourist experience for me - feeling very very small in front of something that is very very big - [...]
in Americaland the hockey stick is a symbol of a women's sport whereas in Africa it is the epitome of a fast-paced man's [and womens] astro field battle of skill, perseverance and chance-taking... I would call this a half-silhouette as the light comes brightly from the side giving a sense of the depth lurking behind this pose while concealing enough to keep you guessing as to what is really being thought about. [hint: [...]
the other day, for fun, i googled the phrase "fun silly pictures of strange weird" and came up with this strange assortment of pics... it felt like time for a revisit to the strange wonderfulness and weirdosity that exists in the google image page of that residence and so here are some more that are fun or silly or really quite strangeweird [it's a word!]: For those to whom the complexity of the attaching [...]
so yesterday i posted a very simple blog as a response to the wordpress challenge of the week which was a splash of colour [or 'color' if you're americanese] i found a picture of a splash of blue and posted that as the solitary post of the blog and then i gave it the title 'red' and then posted it at various times of the day with the following intros: do you believe everything you [...]
yesterday tbV and i attended the wedding of some friends we have made in americaland, namely Kristin and the Beatles [as i call Matt, cos to me he looks like 2 or more of the Beatles rolled into one] and had a really fun time. the wedding was outside and the highlight of the event [apart from all of the wedding-related stuff of course] was this young flowergirl who completely messed up her job and [...]
