All I want for Christmas… a political christmas list.

Usually I would try to avoid to write (too much) about politics, I wouldn’t beable to write about anything else if I’d do… but now I have to. This video of belgium politicians from the Vlaams Belang & Front Nationale party made me rip my eyes and ears out… I can’t eat as much as [...]

The Elf Effect

I have a love for symmetric faces. Every actress, model, musician, normal person… I ever thought to be beautiful has an elf-like face. It’s a bit scary that my favorites have so similar features, and because I simply can, I’ll post my definition of beautiful in here.
Post Scriptum: Interesting enough, my BF admires one of [...]

Hymnbooks.

What is the point in hymnbooks? Nobody knows the songs, so everybody tries to frantically find the vers, while the few who found it kill the song with their unbearable singing voice, meanwhile the lost ones might have been found….sadly, it’s when the bad singers already say “amen”.

It’s just a word, isn’t it?

I like words. I like language. I have a close relationship with books and there is nothing funnier for me than wordgames.
But there is a problem that I have that exclusively shows that language and words are pro-depressants.
Most people overuse certain words or misuse them, let’s start with a mild one: tacky.
First mentioned in 1862, the reliable Oxford English Dictionary tells us that the original use of “tackie” was a broken-down, worthless horse, meaning then a “poor white of the Southern States.” Ever since everything that is chabby and/or cheap is named tacky, in 1980 every friggin fashion mag would name the newest creations of designer soandso ”delightfully tacky”,
anything out of the ordinary is ”tacky”, tacky tacky all the way.
So if you see an old horse today, would you call it tacky? I didn’t think so.

Say it with me: WELLINGTONS!

Ok, so another entry for my girlshit category. It took me twenty plus years to discover that I’m female so all the girly thoughts hiding in the back of my hippothalamus crash out now and sadly, my dearest readers have to deal with it.
I went sportcloth-shopping with BF yesterday and beside a male-sized pair of running shoes and a nice black & white pair of 3/4-trousers, did I also saw something else in the endless lines at one of the cheap-ish shops in out-town Adelaide…WELLINGTONS! I adore any kind of strange shoewear and I always wanted Wellingtons.
