I found this in the Cosmic Buddha blog:
Eating Mickey (or, how I overcame one of my last food prejudices)
Don't read if you are a vegetarian or very squeamish. I found the first photos hilarious and the result quite interesting to be honest.
Yum yum.
I've seen this meme on Megan's blog and since I like everything photos I thought I could do this one too.

I am still very busy creating colour palettes. I hope some day I'll find the perfect combination to use for my web site, and then I just need to find about a month's time to update the whole site…!
The funny thing is I find myself using colours in my palettes that I wouldn't normally even dream about touching. For example light pink. Light pink is a colour that doesn't suit my skin tone at all, I look completely washed out in it, so I would never wear it. But strangely it works wonders in many colour combinations as it makes a lot of other colours seem warmer and more alive. See here for examples:
Another colour I found myself using a lot are brown tones:
And here is the one that the COLOURlover community so far likes best:
It was inspired by the combination of that awful terracotta coloured living room in Eastleigh with my mainly red sofa deco, and I am astonished how well it worked out.
I've also been playing with blues and greens but those resulted in pretty average colour scales as produced by many others too. It's actually hard to avoid the trodden paths and sometimes I can't help it I simply have to try my hand on some of those standard palettes too.
As before, see more at colourlovers.com.
Today, yes today, I found Colourlovers and I am already having difficulty to leave the site. Here is some of what I did today:

Finally, as an update to the last post (International Baby), we also received an item from South Africa, a lovely play blanket!
For a while now I have been following some blogs that post about life in Japan. You might have seen some of those links in my Blogroll section. I am absolutely fascinated and one day I will have to go to Japan as well and see for myself. I've always loved Japanese food so it would be worth just going for that, but of course there's a lot more to discover. Reading those blogs I've also seen a few TV spots that from my Westerner perspective seem very odd - and cruel. I guess you have to grow up in the culture to understand the humour in that. But occasionally I find something that I find very funny too, like Gaki no Tsukai via Undercover in Japan.
More information on Japanese TV can be found on TV in Japan.
Had some fun with these sites lately:
