Basically it's a website to tell girls that they're beautiful, because so many of them seem to forget it...
Please, check it out and remind them :)

Good Samaritan :D

Well I'm feeling like a good Samaritan, all full of the slightly smug happiness that comes only from rescuing a small dog from becoming a...slightly smaller piece of dog on the roads.

Though perhaps not picture-perfect as I knelt with my head under a parked car and *cough* other parts of my anatomy askew in a slightly ungainly, *slightly* not very ladylike position, I'll confess to feeling rather heroic as I offered a small piece of sausage to the snarling Pomeranian in front of me.



The endeavor eventually succeeded rather well, with the miraculously calmed dog (Apparently I became much less of a threat with a few fingers missing) on a makeshift lead fashioned from a key-chain, and soon safely returned to its owners (Cue: Awwww).

So, there we go! I'm not completely heartless, after all.

What is the appearance of vacuoles?

Seriously, my auto-fill came up with this??? Seriously?

So, you may have realized I'm not actually going to talk to you about the appearance of vacuoles, but instead beg your forgiveness for the constant streams of pictures and comic strips instead of rants and stuff.

As I may have mentioned, we're leaving for England in about 13 days and so I'm sorta preoccupied with sorting and packing and everything, but I've put aside a little time tonight to talk, as I'm actually feeling in a kinda serious mood tonight.

Nothing bad I guess, just slightly somber, a little weary, the sort of heavy soul-sighing mood where one feels lazy and unmotivated and the only way to deal with it is to ramble on, and on, or perhaps write a poem, or amuse oneself with Shakespearian wordplay, forsooth!

So, I can't bring myself to put pen to paper right this instant, but I feel I've rambled sufficiently to find in myself the energy to find and post a haiku of mine, adapted from one written when I was a young boy, my father, took me into the city, to see a marching band... er child of fourteen, the only time I remember struggling to confine my art to such a constrained format.

But here you go:

Beaten and scarred, alone
She gazes, weeping, Westward.
Her home is no more.

Cyanide and Happiness

To distract myself from nightmares of giant spiders D:

Bit of Drama

Bit of drama tonight, in the form of a Whitetail Spider, pictured here:

Found it wandering the ceiling of one of the bedrooms in our house, in which two of the room's inhabitants had been bitten by an unfound Whitetail a week previously, resulting in a late-night trip to A&E. 
More information about them can be found here.

Apparently they like hanging out in people's beds D: This is just another reason as to why I'm excited to go to England...We shall no longer be subject to these Australian-born terrors stalking our beds! 
(Not that I have anything against Australia (nor New Zealand) but the spiders there are rather terrifying...


And if those aren't bad enough, remember...They breed.


Enjoy your evening.

He's a street artist who does awesome pavement sketches in 3D. Seriously, check him out.
Here are a few of my favourites...


Enjoy.
