"What choices do we make in the space between the IDEAL and the REAL"

The answer....whatever man.


Got to hand it to these guys....they are on the world wide intranet....

I have always been a bit different and see the world with my own pair of rose coloured glasses. I was the girl in highschool that everyone called a weirdo and the captain of the football broke up with me cause I wouldn't put out (...and I was weird) (Jason Smith.....Where are you now?)
As Zef says....look at ME now...I am a fucking Ninja! Ok. I am not a ninja....but I am not a weirdo. I am standard.

Standard. Not normal....because what is normal? Being Normal is right up there with nice and cool.

What I am listening to today: Miss Diversity, another standard woman.



Confused. call the hotline or read the instruction manual.

Ross Butter has made this lovely little animation....

Speaking of animation - I saw Avatar this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. I remember seeing, while scuba diving off the coast of Koh Toa in Thailand magic Christmas trees like those in the film. Here is a little clip that demonstrates clearly the awe-inspiring power of nature.



And these guys are just what i needed for this grey cold morning....(since i won't be scuba diving in Thailand any time soon)
