Too Cute! On Tuesday.

 

A little bit of funny on a gloomy and rainy day.

 

Mistake (Happy Accident) Monday

♦Wow! Incredible pencil drawings!
♦"There are no mistakes, only happy accidents."

Beauty:
♦An interesting discussion about "Real Beauty" and ad campaigns
♦The discussion continues at The Beheld
♦Barbie without makeup...not sure what I think about this. Was the aim "realness" or were they trying to make Barbie less attractive, a caricature if you will? What is your take on this?
One commenter nails it: "An opposite side of the pendulum swing? Looks a little more exaggerated than merely not having make up on if you ask me. Maybe it's a psychological tactic saying "this is how you will look if you don't wear your make up!" which then scares young girls into always wearing it?"

What I Am Listening To: Macklemore, and Damian Marley

Macklemore ~ Can't Hold Us

I head this song in a YouTube video. I didn't even know it was a Macklemore song.

 

Damian Marley & Skrillex ~ Make It Bun Dem

Raspi has been on a Reggae and Electro Reggae kick. He introduced me to this song.

Now I realize that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the video is fantastic. I love it! It is worth watching. (Even is you want to turn the sound off.)
Ps. I can't even begin with what happened in Boston. Take care of yourselves.

It Came From The Spam Box (#2)

I once again share some of my odd spam comments (posted verbatim)with you.

On a what I wore post,  The Petulant Kid:

“If some one wishes to be updated with latest technologies afterward he must be pay a visit this website and be up to date everyday. “

~Were we reading the same post? I am not tech writer, or reviewer.

“A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you should publish more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t discuss such issues. To the next! Best Wishes!”

~ The only “discussion” I had was that bad weather makes me sort of cranky. Hardly a deep and meaningful topic. At least they have they tried to seem courteous with “Best Wishes.”

“I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written: I love that youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?”

~Huh? *scratches head* Thanks so much for the needless unsolicited advice.

“It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this excellent blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will share this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon!”

~This one attempts to flatter but comes off as very odd. Why on earth would I have a donate button?

“Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google even as searching for a similar subject, your website came up, it appears good. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks. Hi There, simply changed into aware of you weblog via Google, and located that it is truly informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate when you proceed this in future. Many other folks will be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!”

~Holy run-on sentence Batman! This one is by far my favorite. It is not only composed with questionable grammar, its redundant too! The brussels part is the best. Might be a new catch phrase for me.

On a personal note:
I am sorry to post this so late. I have been having some health issues. I had a doctor's appointment early this morning. Then when I got home to let the dogs out, I slipped on some ice and fell. So, I am sore and exhausted. I didn't have the energy to get working right away.

Better late than never,
Finnley ♥♥♥
