  • amen sister!

    now here’s a quote that actually makes me want to go to new york and flaunt my pantones!

    New Yorkers Are Ultra-Sensitive About Color
    Guy at bar: And so I keep trying to tell my wife that sienna is not a color.
    Girl passing by: Yes it is! Burnt sienna is a crayon you slanderous prick!

  • American Idol: Texas auditions

    http://www.captainhops.com/wp-content/photos/thumb_the_scream.jpg
    Ever heard one of these on a hot tin roof? Or in heat? Then you haven’t been watching the latest installment of American Idol – have you now…

    I cant watch everything – it’s excruciating! Just now, a very “bubbly” (not) girl attempted a Celine Dion number. “If… I…” or something. I had to get up, come to my room and write this up. I get embarrassed! Too embarrassed to stay in front of my TV – but too enthralled to not want to go back and take in some more. (I’m a masochist that way.)

    Right. Better now. Let’s go for some more wondrous torture!

  • Clockwise or Anti-clockwise?


    If the lady isn’t spinning, click on her and try again.
    (And no, I don’t mean anything else by it. Naughty!)

    You can actually see her spinning in either direction. Something to do with shifting dominance of brain hemispheres.

    If initially she spins clockwise, you’re a left-brainer.
    Anti-clockwise makes you a right-brainer.
    Shifting between the two hemispheres makes her do a “matrix”-like glitch/switch.

    I tried it with Nakkie and me watching at the same time – it’s not the gif that changes. We saw her spinning in different directions – and switching at different times.

    very cool.

  • I missed it!!!


    I have no idea how it happened – but I missed my blog’s 1st birthday!
    Yep, my blog was one year old on the 11th :0)

    How strange…

    Looking at today’s post one year ago, I’m amazed at the about-face in content. It seems I’m in danger of loosing my Nerd-badge!

    Be that as it may, it’s been a happy year online – filled with intrigue, fun and new friendships.

    Hip! Hip! Hoorah!
    (Or “Hooray!”, if you’re American *wink*)
