The post that was
Hmm. In my half-asleep I tried something and clicked something and confirmed something else and lost my last post as a result. Apologies. :(
Not wanting to write the whole thing again, I'm simply putting up the link to our car, Ariki and his first trip to Mt. Ruapehu here.
Backdating this post to match yesterday's. -
The dependency of an Independent
As the sixty year old rises this morning to more parades and parties, one question lingers unanswered.

A glossal story
The ancient people of Jeebu revered the tongue as an organ of strength, flexibility and sensuality. Young Jeebuites dedicated years learning tongue twisters from famous tongue-in-cheek writers.

The hopeless, mad thing called love
Every once in a while, a song comes along which reminds you of young love, school/college romances, inky hearts, bus tickets adding up to a certain name, library stalking, mushy rain, telephone whispers muffled under blankets, mysterious letters, nameless flowers, stolen glances, secret smiles, lonely corners, sweet-awkward kisses, and promises of ( Read more... ) -
"Harry Potter and all his wizard friends went straight to hell for practicing witchcraft."

The Utterly Butterly Photo Quiz

Harry Potter and the happy fan
Two nights ago, I finally finished the last of the Potter series and my first reaction was to go to sleep. Four days and four nights of mindless transition between my real world and Harry's wizarding one had taken their toll on me, and it was with three-quarters regret and one-quarter relief that I finally returned to the world I really belonged ( Read more... ) -
An important part of a woman's viscera is the gossip corner
Why are most men so quick to connect the word 'malicious' to the word 'gossip'? Not all gossip is about who's sleeping with whom. That's Hollywood gossip. 90% of a woman's regular gossip is idle 'catching up', which is perfectly healthy and not in the least, bad-intentioned. -

When coffee doesn't wake you up...
As if friday mornings are not miserable enough, some of them have booby traps attached. Now, there is this thing in my mind about electric buttons and switches. Whenever I see one, it somehow appeals to my mind to tinker with it. The more innocent it looks, the greater the attraction to put it's functionality to the test. So, this morning, I was at ( Read more... )
