it’s a first (in 44)

Let’s hope Barack Obama doesn’t only stand out because of his skin colour but also because of his presidential skills … there’s a tough job waiting for him, and we wish him all the best!

mars

Most women are easily pleased with sweets and chocolates, but not me … i don’t have a sweet tooth. But now, i’m longing for a Mars-bar for 3 weeks already. Of course there’s not a single one to be found in this country. According to wikipedia they don’t make them as they used to anymore. And since my last Mars experience must date from somewhere in the nineties, there’s just no use in trying the new version. Why o why did they change the recipe??? I am a pregnant woman goddammit!

how ’sweet’ is your music collection?

Dion asked how many sweet we have in our music collection …

Well, there are 26 (out of 4597) sweet songs to be found in my music library. This is the iTunes collection of course, i didn’t check all the cd’s i never digitalized.

for you and your device

These are all too funny …


I could definitely use these … my fingers are always cold while working.

the reason

The reason that it has been very quiet here is the following.

echo 13 weeks

A very unclear picture but i’m guessing you all know what i’m talking about. This little thing has made me sick for 3 whole months (it’s all worth it of course). I’m doing much better now but my energy level is still zero … some more quietness is therefore expected :-).

colours for obama

It’s no big surprise that the art world tends to favor the left leaning candidate during a campaign, but what might be more surprising about this years election is the sheer number of artists who are rallying around and using their talents to support Barack Obama.

concierto

The great thing about living in Mexico City is that there’s just so much to do … besides the beach we hardly had any entertainment in Tampico.

Yesterday we went to see Julieta Venegas in the ‘Auditorio Nacional‘. Great concert with great guests also! Juan Son (who was dressed as a pizza, really cool!), Natalia Lafourcade y Joselo y Memo from Café Tacvba.

knitted dissected rat

Crafty Hedgehog is at it again, following up her highly popular dissected frog knitting pattern with a new one that shows you how to make this creepy-cuddly knitted, dissected rat. You can buy the PDF (or purchase an already-knitted frog or rat) in her Etsy shop.
