Weekend Roundup 6

Things that I liked this week vary. It's been a strange week, let me tell you that much.

1. First up is this guy who took a Polaroid of himself everyday from 1979 until his died. It's a beautiful piece and a wonderful idea.

Mental Floss article
Here's the actual website. http://photooftheday.hughcrawford.com

It's a little bit heartbreaking but well worth a look, especially for nostalgia's sake.

2. Next it's an indie game that I found called Fish Listening to Radio. It's a simple game where you just have to move a fish around and make it eat the worms of the hooks as they are going down and avoid hooks going up. The graphics are simple and hand drawn but it's a lot of fun. Go, play, have fun. You're welcome.

3. Next it's a video from one of my favourite YouTube channels CDZA. They always create these great and educational music videos such as 'the history of whistling' or 'misheard lyrics'. Anyway, they are brilliant and talented and, for Valentine's Day, they created two videos. I'll link you to the first one but you must go and subscribe to their channel to see all the awesomeness.

4. Then there is this cover by Christina Bianco. It's Let It Go from Disney's Frozen.  She does impressions - check out her divas.

I love anyone who can do impressions and can sing really well. I admit that I am a little bit jealous.

5. And then there is this artist who has stitched a Star Wars 'Bayeux' tapestry. Seriously, I'd love this to be in my house...unfortunately, I don't have the space nor the money for such extravagence.

Hope some of these bring a smile to your face this weekend, or what's left of it.

Peace and pancakes,
Jaime

P.S. I'm going to do a proper blog post hopefully before next weekend. :)

Pretending to be crafty...

This is what I have been up to this morning.

I don't know how clear they are but they are all, individual, hand-made invitations for my friends Hen's Night. I've added another photo below.

I don't know what came over me this morning but I was suddenly inspired and rushed into town to collect the required ingredients. Then I spent two-three hours cutting, gluing and writing. This means that the floor is a mess, my fingers are sticky and covered with felt marks but that I am happy. I feel as if I have actually accomplished something. My friend has yet to see them so I hope that she likes them.

It is also interesting to note that yet, my home does have purple carpet. Sadly enough, it also has pink wallpaper. There are times when I feel as if I am living in Barbie's dream house or the set of a 70s porn movie. Either way, it makes things interesting and I am never lacking for conversational starters.(On a side note: It's a real bitch to clean so if any future porn directors out there are considering purple carpet...don't. Just don't.)

Anyway, to counter the inside shots I thought I would leave you with a shots of the outdoors. Just to give you a glimpse of my crazy little world.

It's not the best quality but that was from a few weeks ago and, yes, that is the moon over the horizon. I thought a nice little picture like this would bring a little calm to some.

(And, if I put just a little more in the way of writing it may look like I having tried to do a sneaky, lazy, photo blog instead of a writing one...)

Peace and pancakes, y'all.

P.S. Go the All Blacks.
P.P.S. I don't really care for rugby but apparently it's the World Cup and I have to support someone.
