My Favourite Thing on The Web

THIS has got to be THE MOST entertaining, intriguing, amusing and creative-minded blog and blog personality I've come across so far...there are some *absolutely side splitting* laughs in here so have a good look around!


edit: oh this is waaay too much fun- it's like your one stop shop for fun on the web!!! :-D

So far I've discovered The Scribbler. Arghhhh it's Instant Love!

Introducing my first ever creation:

Ohmygosh I feel a compelling urge to start a scribble blog(!!) I can already see this adding to my pre-existing HEAP of unhealthy addictions and unnecessary distractions! :-p

In any case be sure to check out all the other cool "talent" ;) that abounds at The Scribbler Gallery...HAVE FUN!!!

p.s is this not the cutest little alien animal you've ever seen?! it's a kangaroo rat apparently...mail.com for more details!

Cool New Words.

To celebrate arriving in time to see the light of day at home, I present not ONE but THREE cool new words!

palimpsest (thanks Zoch!)

Podunk (thanks S!)

Hibernophile (this is my contribution: cos I am one LOL...Hellooooo Ireland!!!)

Okay come clean word geeks, who already knew these?!

If you are a Word Lover like me, please take the time to have fun and do some good at one of my all-time favourite sites Free Rice!

POP QUIZ! What is the term for people who LOVE WORDS?! (cos I'd like to know and have forgotten...)

EDIT: i remember now- a lover of words specifically is a LOGOPHILE! here is a real treat of a site for fellow logophiles...enjoy!

some of my personal favs:

apodysophilia feverish desire to undress (in stinking hot summers yeah!)
philalethist lover of truth (bluntness is so refreshing!)
philomath lover of learning (c'est moi)
philonoist one who seeks knowledge (y yo)
thalassophilous living in or fond of the sea (me too!)
topophilia great love or affection for a particular place (anywhere EX-city!)
clinophilia passion for beds (LOVE my Space bed :-)... just wish I got more time to spend in it!)
electrophile substance having an affinity for electrons or negative charge (me!)
turophile cheese lover (my sister, my ex and Wallace and Gromit)

gynotikolobomassophile one who nibbles on women’s earlobes (haven't met anybody like this yet lol)

Work Hard. Play Hard. Crash Hard.

I've been reaping the benefits of living close to school this week- it's only Tuesday and I've had two classes already finish super early so I can just come home and take a much needed luxurious nap :)...actually this is pretty dangerous cause I was so knocked out I almost missed a test -rocking up 15 minutes late!(Lucky it was purely a threshold task and not graded...)

So today the class that finished early was not mine but a student with a disability that I note-take for. It's been really strange coming back to my first tertiary roots-the class is in the area of visual communication and design theory...it's so fluffy and airy fairy I hate it now just as much as I did then =)...and it was so funny hearing the terms non-linear narrative and visual schema again LOL - good thing though I've had 10 years or so to come to terms with what these things might mean so lucky for the student my notes aren't too crap...like when I did it and it all went waaaay over my head...

Anyhow we saw a video from Design Kitchen so hilarious- it just reminds me that most of the design world is completely pretentious and narcissistic...their self promoting video ended with the premise that "only beautiful people can do beautiful design" (gag)...LoL you gotta get used to it when you get into these aesthetic fields though...

The lecture reminded me though of this COOL SITE I thought I should share since if you're not in a design field you probably weren't aware of it...check it out as it has loads of inspiring talks by experts in all different areas...with something definitely to capture your interest :)!
