…can afford a simple style.
I wonder which ones can afford NO style;) Lets find out!
Ok Miss Katie! In response to your fashion quiz:
Hippie Kid
48% Flamboyance, 55% Originality, 44% Deliberateness, 18% Sexiness |
| [Flamboyant Original Random Prissy]
The idea of “good taste” is alien to you because how can one style be judged better than the other? You are also not the one to follow what someone has currently decided is “fashionable.” To you it’s most important that you feel good in your clothes. You like it if people notice an interesting detail you’re wearing and you have some taste for extravagance but you don’t spend hours composing outfits. This laid-back attitude leaves you plenty of time for other things in life and still most people remember a few interesting outfits they saw on you. I don’t know if you wear hippy clothes but perhaps they would match your philosophy?
The opposite style from yours is Uptown Girl/Boy [Tasteful Conventional Deliberate Sexy].

For the Happyemo daughter : Hello Kitty Hell.
Welcome to her world!
…which is flat and rides on the back of four giant elephants who stand on the shell of the enormous star turtle Great A’Tuin, and which is bounded by a waterfall that cascades endlessly into space.
Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.
But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
I feel a very long day coming on. Baking. And decorating. As all my family are huge Terry Pratchett freaks (including extended family, ie friends who are family…), making it as a present is only complicated by the ‘who for’ nature of it!

…refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Warning - a boring post about me.
I’m so tired atm. The back is bad again, but the physio said to expect setbacks. The magic TENS unit is gone for a while, but we are going to reapply for it back. It seems i *DON’T* need surgery, so thats good. But its slower going than I hoped, and I am slowly coming to terms with the fact I will NEVER be the same. If I can just get back on my bike, one day. Well, if I could be off pain for one day, that I’d like too;)
Its the busy time with kids. Nearly school holidays, and concert time - two in the last month or so, with rehersals and insanity:) They are all fine and busy, so its wonderful there. Miss having biggest girl here, but at 20, she needs some space too. We see her often though, so its pretty good! And Ms 14yo is loving her own space, the teenage den we have setup in her room. Making time for all of them is vital and incredibly rewarding.
The car has had a busted timing belt which still needs fixing. BUT it costs a lot, and we have other needs atm. Truck is on the road, so it takes a couple of trips if we all need to go somewhere. However, public transport is the key here! A month off work was good for back, bad for cash. So was himself going halftime, even though that frees up childcare costs. So a bad month there.
My laptop is getting fixed, so Hal has had his brain(hdd) transplanted into himself’s laptop for now. I am incredibly lucky my delightful and ridiculously talented workfriend is fixing the broken hinges. I owe him some quality Dr Who stuff I suspect:)
The blog is a joy to work with. I don’t know if anyone reads this regularly, and it truly doesn’t matter. This is my braindump:)
And I am playing Dungeons and Dragons again. Its a piece of sanity in a way I can’t begin to describe, and almost obscene amounts of fun:)
So, hi if you are there.
…he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty.
It is one of the most popular sites in Britain. It is certainly one of my favourite concepts.
A nice cup of tea and a sit down.
It is now on my bloglist, as an extremely civilised and soothing site.
My late Irish grandmother had one panacea for all lifes problems, from the minute to the earth-shattering. It was the great Australian Cure. A cup of tea, a Bex, and a lie down. A cut or scratch? Tea. Your leg has just been amputated? Tea. Oh, and here’s the Bex. The woman would have attempted, and probably solved, most of the Middle East’s various crises with her panacea.
Anyway, I have inherited the tea addiction. And I’m glad!
…to comprehend the truth in the world.
The Christian Science Monitor has a fascinating article about the mismatched ‘Mythbusters’.
Mythbusters is one of those shows that moves beyond geek cult status (thought it certainly has that!)
The whole family loves it, the husband nerd unit getting into the science (and the extremely popular Kari in equal amounts I suspect!). All of the kids watch it too, from the three year old small lad, the five year old princess who squeals with delight when she sees it start, the 11 year old who wants to be a mythbuster one day, even the nearly 14 year old anime goth-in-making likes it. I have even caught the 20 year old biggest girl watching it, but I bet she would deny it;)
I get into the science also, and would love to be a mythtern (mythbuster intern) when I grow up….
…if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
What makes a man wake up one day and decide, among other things, that he will tape bacon to his cat? And then, this gets greenlighted(linked) by Fark.com, and is promptly Farked?
I take offence at the comment to that final entry, that there will be people taping uncooked food items to their domestic animals for fleeting copycat (oh, a pun!) fame.
I would only do it for sheer light entertainment value.
Its working out the proper balance of Sir Tyler the Cowardly, miniature pomeranian, bacon, and Prancer, (still working on his world title for laziest dog ever), the large lump of greyhound.
My money is on Tyler, he has attacked Prancer before over food. (Okay, Prancer gently picked Tyler up by his head, and put him (twitching) down elsewhere, but c’mon people, this is processed pig! BACON!)
You know, as a vegetarian, i am now disturbing myself.
…the logic of an accurate mind over-taxed.
So the husband nerd unit took both a geek test and nerd test to actually confirm his nerdliness (his slide rule obsession is getting spooky…)
But we knew the geek status of this household already. We radiate geekness.

Here’s mine:
Yeah, yeah, shaddup already.
BUT he trounced me nerdly wise. (SURPRISE;) )
HA!
Update - Katie is a massive nerd, too. But not geeky! I am kinda shocked. Retake the damned test!
…you’ve got to know it’s still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
Went with one of my most beloved friends to see Lady in the Water, by M. Night Shyamalan.
I can only say it is a beautiful thing, and should be viewed by all who are willing to immerse themselves in the magic of fable and life. And the critic - well, its a happy ending there;)
