Today is International Black Books Quote Day

Manny: Well, instead of the... um... academic and the journalist's daughter... um... perhaps it could be about an elephant?
Bernard: An elephant?
Manny: That's right.
Bernard: I see. What's your other suggestion?
Manny: Well... um... instead of the Stalinist purges and the divorce and the investigation, um... it could be about loosing a balloon.
Bernard: An elephant who looses his balloon?
Manny: That's it.
Bernard: But, but it would still be my story in essence?
Manny: Oh, yeah.
Bernard: My vision?
Manny: Completely.
Bernard: Yes, alright! Let's do that, then!

Clearly I have an excellent boyfriend

and am now praying to Xena that I do not break my ankle again.

like, nameless and funky

I love this.




This is my dog. She has no name.



This is a photo my digital camera took. Something went weird and it turned out rather funky.

If you were to choose between marrying a lover and marrying ...a friend...who would you choose?
I would marry my soul mate.

Jabberwocky

Today I went and saw Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. It had been given molto bad press, but clearly they fail; it was awesome. Although I'm an easy sell due to my never ending love for alice in wonderland, white rabbits and Tim Burton.






"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

I love the Jabberwocy poem by Lewis Carroll (the entire thing, not just that part) because it reminds me of my Grandpa. He's knows it by heart. Bad ass.

Martians

I bet you're psyched about the Martians coming Grandma? I mean, you've seen a lot of crazy stuff already. Everyone must have been real scared when they invented the train!




Clearly I am a big fan of movies.

The weather has been completely bonkers for the last couple of hours. A soggy little white dog rocked up on our doorstep at one point. Really glad I'm not in the city, because I don't own gumboots.

Zed

Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: It's Zeds.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.




One of my favorite movies ever and one of my favorite bits.

Snap

I enjoy my polaroid camera.

another day another dollar

Back to university today. Ho Hum.

Rose Red

Snow White and Rose Red helping the nasty dwarf.

Today at work I was wearing a necklace my sister got me from an antique shop that has the seven dwarfs from Disney's Snow White on it.
The older lady I work with announced that I was Rose Red. I had no idea what she meant.
The original Snow White by the Brothers Grimm was called Snow White and Red Rose, Red Rose being Snow White's sister. I googled the story, and I must say I prefer it because it does not involve a lady going off to cook and clean for seven men. In fact there is only one dwarf in the story, and he is the bad guy.

Badger

This is what I did today.

one for the ladies

It sure is.

Trotters

My favorite thing about Mr Stalin was his diabolical use of pre-photoshop photoshopping skills.

Spot the difference:

It's okay Stalin, I would have been jealous of Trotsky too.


Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.

Haw Par Villa

Haw Par Villa is one of my favorite places on Earth.

Built in 1937 by the entrepreneurial and charismatic Aw Boon Haw for his brother Boon Par, Haw Par Villa is the quintessential house of Chinese folklore.
Twenty-five clusters of original statues and figurines replicate Chinese mythology characters like the Laughing Buddha and the Fu Lu Shou (Taoist deities). A must-see exhibit is the Ten Courts of Hell, featuring the ten steps of judgement before reincarnation. Literal and leaving nothing to the imagination, the statues and sets immortalise moral values and Chinese cultural heritage for generations to come.

Ever since my first visit, which would have been in 2000 when I was 11 or 12, the display above has been my favorite. It depicts a story about some friends camping when suddenly some bears find them and think they look delicious. The boys run away, but one boy is too slow and can't climb trees etc and his friends leave him behind so that they can escape unhindered by the slow friend. So the slow boy pretends to be dead, and one of the bears comes over to him and sniffs at him and says 'never trust a friend who abandons you in a time of need'.
Or something to that affect.

O and the bears don't eat the playing dead boy.

The Gipps

I found these whilst doing some folder cleaning. They are from Jan 2009 I believe.
