Grandma goes to court

A friend sent me a joke today. I had already read it before, but it amused me nevertheless. It's one of those timeless things.


In truth, I suspect I like it so much because I might just be that "grandma" in half a century or so, if I'm lucky ;)

Ever thought something is too hard for you to do it? 
I bet they thought the same: 2010 Winter Paralympics 
It never stopped them, though...

50 More Facts and My Reactions to Them

I have found the following list at buburuza.net, a very funny website that I like browsing now and then - plenty of random, amusing, interesting pieces of info, beautiful pictures or comic videos.

While reading this particularly varied list I was having so many different reactions that I decided to write them down:

1. Look at your zipper. See the initials YKK? It stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushibibaisha, the world’s largest zipper manufacturer.

I did check - my jeans had another zipper manufacturer, but my sweatshirt zipper had YKK on it :)

Melting Butter

Since I started flirting with baking, the activity I found most difficult was melting butter. Yes, that's right.

Coo King - a town in China?

I can't remember who told me that joke, but I remember liking it. A lot. Especially since, at the time, I had no inclination toward my kitchen.

Don't get me wrong, I still don't consider myself as a gifted cook, but I've recently started using a few of my kitchen appliances for another purpose than storing my cereal boxes.

While researching some healthier foods - one of the things I'm trying to do for myself this year is changing my eating habits - I have found a wide range of information about cooking and baking. Most of it is to be found on blogs, and most of it is so easy to use, one could mistake them for an 'Idiot's guide to (...)'.

TV, but not on TV - Pilot

As most of my friends know, I fought my TV addiction a few years back and won. That is to say that I turn the TV on so rarely, that when I do (only under peer pressure) the channels are all scrambled and I need to reset it. Very proud of myself, I am :)

High IQ or just ADD with a sprinkle of procastination?

It occurred to me recently that people who have higher than average IQ can adapt more easily to new situations, learn faster and are able to become proficient in more activities. This is my own idea, I did not bother (didn't have the time, actually, since I'm working on a deadline here) to check it against any studies or relevant literature.

NASA and Terra

Today I kept thinking 'what should I write about on my new blog?'. Time and again, in between the thousand little things I had to take care of, ideas came and went - and by 'went' I mean 'stored, again!' in order to be used on another post when I have gathered more information and more understanding in relation to them.

Almost stressed about me not being able to keep a promise made to myself - see 'the 'Why' ' bit on the right - meaning going to bed without posting anything today, my daily newsletter from 9am News arrived. And Yes, I did notice the irony in it being delivered at 12:15am...

Music

Though I'm not old, I remember the simpler times, when the only music that existed for me was classical music. Don't get me wrong, I loved it and I still do, especially some writers and some pieces, and I don't find it in any way as simple or restrictive - there are thousands sounds and feelings to be explored in the vast collection of the genre.
