Parody

Something funny that stops you in your track or one that makes you do a double-take could add that spark to your day. This funny company called Despair, Inc has a range of stuff that could potentially make your bittersweet day a walking sparkler ... oops, that came out so lame.

Treasury

Over at etsy, members can put in their selections of favourites into what is called Treasury. The is a limited number of treasuries that goes online and so there is quite a queue. Recently, Timeless put in her treasury of books and one of my journals was picked. How happy!

A-Live Version 8

We just had our 8th live trade session! How time flies. Those of us who have been regular have acquired quite an ATC collection by now.

We had a good time that 10th April evening and were especially delighted to have 2 new friends join us. Do make a date with us at Pauseability on 8th May.



Some of the wonderful ATCs I traded for that night.

Talking about birds, how does chicken poop soup sound to you? Looks like poop, but really, it is just a plant. It's a dish from Hainan Island in China which a Singaporean blogged about. It's also interesting how coconut is featured in so many of the dishes there. Go check it out.

Burst

This is so much fun to watch.



sheepfilms have loads of unusual clips.
