Ok, we all know she explores everything but this is maybe too much. Being serious (somehow) now, how can the production directors approve even this at the concept stage from the product designers? The (phalic) “thing” is selling on Amazon and every online (and offline) store that sells Dora stuff, which means everywhere.
What’s next? Noddy starts harassing people on the streets? Oh wait, that already happened…
Yep, my cat (Shift) is one year old now, a lot bigger but… despite all sofas, bean bag, his cat tree, my bed, whatever… the glass fruit bowl is still his bed. This started around October last year and despite the fact that he doesn’t basically fit there anymore, fruit still gets banished systematically and that’s his cold and hard and probably not comfortable (that’s for pussies) bed.
From now on, clicking on the following icon (which will be also on the blog’s sidebar) will take you to my Flickr photostream, which is plugged directly to my iPhone.
This might be completely random stuff since whatever picture I take in the iPhone is uploaded trough WiFi or Edge automatically. Whatever I think it will be worth a shot. I might explain or even comment it later. Or not. I might use it later on some post here. It can be funny. It can be not funny. It can be whatever.
Despite what it looks like, I had one of my best dinners ever, yesterday. This was at my colleague Zubaria’s wedding. Post to come soon when I join my picture’s with Tina’s, who did the official paparazzi role. I am a fan of Pakistani food from now, officially.
By the way, sorry for the post slowdown but I am in my second week with my nice whooping cough (coqueluche, pertussis) so what I want most when not coughing and specially after back from work is to rest.
[PT] Há uns dias, andei no Flickr com um amigo a vasculhar fotos da terra onde ele cresceu, mais pecisamente, Beira, Moçambique. Confesso que me chocou um pouco bastante ver as fotos do “antes”, altura em que a cidade florescia e as do “depois”, ou seja agora, em que está completamente degradada. No meio de algumas fotos aleatórias, outras pouco politicamente correctas de senhoras ou casais em passeio, muito chiques em carrinhos (num carril) a ser empurrados por negros e ainda outras de placards de publicidade jurássica da coca-cola, houve uma foto que me chamou a atenção e me fez desatar a rir nem sei bem porquê:
[EN] Nice cat litter branding. Well, just another random thing that made me laugh while grocery shopping.
I also sent the picture to Dazbert at RudeFood (another of my cult websites), in case he wants to add it. By the way, that Bimbo he’s with on the homepage, it’s a portuguese/spanish brand.
[PT] Talvez não, mas também canta lindamente mal e até tem vários videoclips e tudo, neste caso, arrojadas produções incluindo pole-dancing, strip-tease, o cliché dos pezinhos de molho num charco e algo que é talvez a coisa mais parecida ao Castel-Branco a dançar sapateado (em cima de uma ponte). Ah, isto tudo era num só videoclip (que podem apreciar abaixo). No outro videoclip, mais na onda techno, podemos apreciar uma verdadeira experiência labregopsicadélica. Está longe de ter a energia (intermitente) da nossa Ninfa Artémis e não fala em pintar os pelos púbicos, o que lhe tira bastantes pontos. Podem encontrar mais interessantes videos procurando Helio dos Passos no YouTube e mais informação sobre o artista aqui.
* Obrigado Zabel! Nem te pergunto como foste encontrar tal pérola da música hiper-alternativa.

Well, not really sure if I am going to post an odd site every week but this one did catch my attention. A site that sells… Wigs for cats? I must say I am kind of tempted to order the blond one (or maybe the blue) for my cat but he would probably kill me violently during th night if I did that. Anyway, just take a look clicking the picture below. The homepage is scary enough:
It kind of reminds me a silly site I found a few years ago, with some japanese guy that sells hats and accessories for cats. Apart from the silly photos of cats (not looking really happy) with those accessories, the “engrish” on that page is hilarious. Worth a look also. Click any of the pics below:
No, this won’t be my new look (apart from the next 24 hours or so, depending on the hangover). Gretchen’s birthday party (later today in a chalet in Champery) is themed 70’s disco fever. So here I am after getting rid of my goatee. This is kind of a teaser for a lot of odd pictures (and videos probably) afterwards. Together with the 70’s porn star mustache, I will be using an afro wig, some tacky golden sunglasses and THIS costume. I will feel very Portuguese tonight, for sure, since apart from the mustache I’ll be using white socks with black shoes. Sorry Xavier, I didn’t had time to grow the “unhaca”. Happy birthday Gretchen!
