Get cracking!


A lot less Mondayish, more like a TGIF! - that's I. To get myself cracking at work today I picked something upbeat. The beginning scene on this video reminds me of that extremely conservative music screening committee back in boarding college. We were supposed to serve church and community after graduation and they wanted to make sure we behaved chastely, like nuns if possible. Some of us loved to deliberately perform something that breaks all the rules of performance on the holy auditorium stage to defy authority. Fast forward --- it's Monday 2009. No more strict screening committees. It's freedom galore! And It's Raining Men!


Jori and Diane are hosting Musical Monday. Head over to their sites to play along.

Fun song to start the morning with! I think it must be illegal to be so skinny, though! :)

Hi Karen, I too

Hi Lorielle, amazingly flat tummy isn't it? :)

Hi Amy, I'm glad you did

Hi Anya, it must be exciting to live The Netherlands, lol!

Hi Joy, some girls are just so lucky with their amazingly flat tummy

Hi Amanda, yeah she is

Hi Carleen, if it's super model skinny, the skeletal type, I think it's no longer right :)

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
