let me start by being perfectly honest here, i am not an artist... not in the drawing, painting, nude sculpture making sense anyways... when i was in high school i somehow managed to end up taking art as one of my choice subjects [i copied a monkey face pretty well back in standard 5/grade 7 and got accepted in art at westerford somehow that way] for grade 8 and 9 but very quickly found out [...]
aka 'the boy who cried wolfpocalypse' as i sat in theatresports [improv comedy group i belong to] class last nite and people were joking about the whole rapture thing or lack of thing, it was a little frustrating to see how christians [to be seriously not confused with Christ-followers though] had once again managed to give the group a bad name... a laugh-out-loud point-and-mock bad name... but this time it was a truly ridiculous premise [...]
so yesterday was one of those fun days when i posted what i thort was a random thort on some global happening and turns out it wasn't... not that i am new to this or very much surprised - from not joining the save the orangutang group on facebook which eventually [after much patient messaging and reasoning and trying to be nice] scored Justine from Australia the prize of being the first person i had [...]
where 'p' is for 'pain' there are three kinds of people in the world - those who are obsessed with the royal wedding happening in the uk today between william and kate and those who aren't [the third group being those fortunate enough to have no clue that it is happening, who i assume are the poor and marginalised because if you have a tv or computer you probably cannot avoid having had it thrust [...]
so yesterday's "this is what the andersons are going to be up to" bloggage received a lot more attention than i suspected it would, and pretty firmly divided into two groups of responses: those who knew us, who said nice things about us and wished us good times and most importantly got excited with us for this adventure that we are about to embark on those who don't know us who by and large said [...]
DoghouseDiaries brings out a new comic every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a lot of the time they are very funny - one of my regular visits which you can go visit here. But this one they completely nailed:
Pearls before Swine is my favourite cartoon being drawn today - i REALLY loved [and related to] this one - you can see more and subscribe to the daily cartoons here [And if you enjoyed that then you will most likely enjoy what I think is one of the funniest-because-it-is-pretty-much-absolutely-true 'est cartoons on R.E.M. song lyrics]
is it just me or is this one of the most ridiculous sporting statements EVER since the days of Murray walker in Formula 1 talking about how a driver being overtaken was a great tactical move that would come into play later... the headline was "Conditions should suit us" "New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum thinks his side's greater experience of conditions in Mirpur could give them the edge over South Africa in their quarter-final clash [...]
Bloomberg Businessweek is one of the publications that carries the story of comedian Gilbert Gottfriend [probly don't recognise the name but if you're old you would probly recognise him from the 'The Problem Child' movies with John Ritter as well as being the voice of Iago from the Aladdin movies] who was fired this week after Tweeting inappropriate jokes about the Japanese crisis... 'March 14 (Bloomberg) -- Aflac Inc., the biggest seller of supplemental insurance, [...]
hm. you know, having had a bit of a chance to think about it [once i crawled out from under the pile of stones] i think there is some point to the judgements that have been made. i say 'judgements' because they have come across like that which i find very sad. maybe it's in line with the fact that it's virtually impossible to read tone into emails and so someone might be saying 'hey, [...]
