Hey, anyone still around here on LJ? Speak up or....or nothing, but do it anyway.

Because this is otherwise too short to post: a photo.

I can't think of anything to say anymore. Oh, except that Inglourious Basterds was the best I'd seen in ages upon first viewing but bored me completely upon second viewing. District 9 awaits.

Anna Paquin's face disturbs me.

I just want to be high but I can't anymore.

Today's person of the week is...Vlad!

This is screwing with my head. None of the dots are on anything but a straight line horizontally and vertically.Why the hell does it look like this?!



So when I got my dog Colin, they told me he was Dacshund with Silky Terrier but now I read the form that says it's Australian Terrier. That makes more sense. So he's a little German Australian.

Borrowed from jtwill84

Today's person of the day: Daniel "kid poker" Negreanu, for having the cutest face, being liberal, vegetarian....oh and for being the best card reader and therefore best poker player.


And today's day of the week is.....

so congratulations to all parties involved.

I almost forgot about Sir Paul packing the streets of New York again.



Paul McCartney = fucking legend, I mean don't even suggest otherwise or I'll bite your balls off, he's the greatest living musician and that includes when Jackson was alive, don't even compare Michael Jackson to him ok?

Can you add two straight lines to this and make it into another letter?



After 10mins of not getting it, I read the question again and figured out what was going on.

Ack! wtf?


My friend Patryk got to chat to an astonaut today. How freaking cool! It was Andy Thomas, the Australian astronaut. He was describing to him the first moment you see Earth and the infinite black. How cool that he got to talk to him though?!

A video you all (all 2 of you) can take part in. Maybe watch it twice though.

The world's quickest personality test:

I'm posting a lot & I don't think people are even using this anymore but I rather don't care. So...

I finally took some more photos of my baby daschund Colin


( awwww )

On Friday I was in the city and decided I was going to use my Yasser Arafat scarf as a hijab (the liberal sort, not covering every strand of hair, the sort you see about town) just to see if people looked at me differently. Weird, I know, but I seem to like doing peculiar things. Anyway, I did notice that when I'd look up at some people they'd quickly look away, which is what I sometimes do as if to say "I'm not looking, I don't think you're any different" but in general it wasn't much different. I guess it's so common, at least in these parts, being so close to Asia but I still wanted to know what it's like from another perspective.

I want to hurt these people.

Fucking brilliant:


(Magpie Lane in Oxford, once known as Gropecunt Lane)

Gropecunt Lane was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas; it was normal practice for a medieval street name to reflect the street's function or the economic activity taking place within it. Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and cunt.

Although the name was once common throughout England, changes in attitude resulted in its being replaced by more innocuous versions such as Grape Lane.

So freaking proud of my friend Azaria (w. the hat in the pic below). His band are currently touring the US & they just released their latest single. I absolutely love it, so catchy and his vocals are brilliant. You gotta have a listen to this single.

Anyone notice the world becoming oddly cosy? No more stern portraits, Churchill/Roosevelt/Stalin style, everyone's gone to a slumber party instead.



Je suis si heureux



Let's get some yanky doodle dandy pie!



Oh mein, das ist lustig!



Regardez-nous!

(ok so I don't do French or German but I'm rounding it off)

The gods must be crazy!

Come on, you like puzzles as much as me don't you? Actually does anyone actually use LJ anymore? Oh well, go on, try this one.

Can you find the hidden tiger? NB - not the black image in the weeds on the right, gotta use your mind more than that.


Going to see Bruno tomorrow. Wheee! I do miss the old Ali G show but it's great that he's still around and successful.

Yeehah. I'm reals smart and I loves me Jesus and ma country 'cause we is free.


Mind tricks: a great love of mine. Love this simple one and how the eyes don't see a full rod but the mind completes the rod because we expect it to be connected


You've probably read elsewhere but dad had a heart attack & is having surgery tomorrow on 5 arteries. It's pretty bad but once detected should be ok. It was weird watching him have the heart attack.

( Lastly, random cutie Jess, such a sweetie )

No matter how much I look at this I can't see it for what it is. Have you seen this one? The "blue" and "green" are exactly the same colour and it's obvious how it works but I still see two colours.

Erect a fucking broom stick up my arse! Best video. Watch.

100 cookies for anyone who can guess what is so unique about this image, except Greg who'd get 50 'cause he might have studied it. I haven't done any photoshop to it btw.



Also, try this silly but surprsingly hard game. I was unfortunate enough to click on it and because I'm a puzzle nerd, spent hours trying to figure a technique in order to win. You've got to click on the dots to encircle the cat. Easier said than done. It's kind of like the game Go.

"...the tone for the most part was such that doubts again arose in me, due in part to the dull and amazingly unscientific arguments favouring the thesis...the whole thing seemed to me so monstrous, the accusations so boundless, that, tormented by the fear of doing injustice, I again became anxious and uncertain." -A. Hitler on anti-Semitic pamphlets. Double-take. Just relaxing on a Saturday arvo, as most do, with a copy of Mein Kampf.

Another thing. Call me old fashioned, call me a Muslim terrorist if you will, as irrelevant as the latter is, but screw all the rest, Letterman 'til the end! No one else is even worth the effort of flicking on the tv. Only Letterman "gets it".
