Cute Overload Part Deux: Flashdance

This will probably be my new desktop background when I get around to being bored of the one I have currently.  I saw this picture on Cute Overload and was joyful. What made it even more wonderful? Although, I guess they decided to give it a different story on the blog, the file name was "Prosciutto, Pancetta and Sir Hammy Reenact Flashdance" I could not have thought of a more perfect caption myself. oink - It's a typical Tuesday.

Happy Friday

Oh Happy Day - Not really - I got bucket loads of work to do, I got snippy on the phone with via (what's new) and I have to spend hours moving files (mostly itunes) to my new computer. But, hey .... NEW computer! Swweeeetttnnnneeeessss. ..... just like this picture of (some) of my favourites.

Thoughts on a Windy Thursday

Sometimes when I'm riding my bike fast on a particularly windy day I feel like Macaulay Culkin in The Pagemaster.

I like the neckrest pillows in this photo. This bed is short on style but high on function - really the most practical I've come across on any design blog.

1 more sleep till the weekend ....

Good Morning Starshine

I drafted this post last night and scheduled it to come out on Saturday because I am trying to curb my binge posting (see here for explanation). But really, If I'm writing the post anyway ...

So here is a pretty photograph I found at Apartment Therapy and instantly thought, oh to be that girl, with that giant mirror just for putting on my makeup. Dare to dream. Unfortunately I am not that girl and instead of frolicking around in Saturdayness I'm working overtime to put food on the table and clothes on the backs of my familypersons. (those last bits are untrue and were added for effect, but I don't like to lie)

And here is a pretty song. Not cheery or any nonsense like that, it's Saturday and I am (or will be) working diligently till the sun goes down - why would I post a cheery song? Remember that Friends episode where a melancholy Joey sits looking through that artificial rain frame ... that is what I picture when I listen Greg Laswell's cover of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Only it's me sitting there melancholy ... and not missing Chandler.

High Tea

Today is exceptionally dreary in Oakville, overcast skies and the imminent arrival of a deluge weigh on my mind as I prepare for my bike ride to work... luckily for me my imagination tends to run wild during bad weather ... for some reason the first thing that has popped into my mind was a high tea at a posh cafe.

Maybe this could be my 10th Goalatude - a tea party. shall think on it.

Listening to: We Will Not Grow Old by Lenka and Final Fantasy's cover of Peach, Plum, Pear

Lovelies

Perfect for summer no? Actually I can imagine these perched upon on the ledge of a kitchen window or even floating in water anytime of year.

What I'm Listening to: Over Victoria Day weekend I visited my Aunt and Uncle in Midland and all night the most amazing music was playing over the stereo. It sounded like the soundtrack to The Big Chill mixed with Cat Stevens and more Otis Redding - all of my favourites. Here's one of my favourites ...

	Otis Redding - I've Been Loving You Too Long
