Five things
NS January 29th, 2009
1. I don’t find LOLCats that amusing. I may be the only person in the world, I know, but it just doesn’t do it for me.
2. It is really difficult to get poo out of a baby’s ears. Don’t ask how I know this.
3. Apparently, “being a star” for a female contestant on American Idol means putting on a shorter skirt, higher heels, messing up your hair and putting on a pound of makeup. This cute-as-a-button, fresh-faced, naturally beautiful woman auditioned and even though she had an amazing voice the judges weren’t sold because they couldn’t picture her in the role. They told her to go away and “become a superstar.” When she came back in her mini-skirt, sparkly shoes and with black eyeliner caked on they were very pleased. NOW they could picture her as a pop star. How depressing is that?
4. This BBC website, Britain From Above, is really funkin’ cool. It’s full of aerial photographs of various cities, towns, open spaces, festivals, transport systems, traffic patterns and a whole lot more. I’ve spent hours watching video clips and looking at photos. I love looking at things and places from completely different, large-scale perspective.
5. My children have e-mail addresses now, so their father and I can send them messages that they can read when they’re older. I’m also keeping journals for them so they have hand-written accounts of their childhood. It gives me an excuse to practice my handwriting too!
