2023, Healing
Howdy all! I was really unlucky in having both of my thumb nails break right in the middle of the nail bed. I have no idea how that happened. I only even noticed when I had them caught on something. Plasters were too awkward and the special finger bandages made everyone think I was leper,…
Ugh, winter means cold and rain and awful yuckness. However, the change in season means more opportunity to change my wardrobe! Yay!~ So I bought some boots! I have been in love with these boots since last winter. They are the perfect boot for me, nothing too flashy and zip that is flush with the…
A while ago Boyfriend shocked that I hadn’t read the book lent me his old copy, and I promptly put it on the shelf for several months. It wasn’t till I saw the trailer for the movie that I actually got around to reading it, so I am coming at this from the point of…
I heart Made in Chelsea. I feel like this is the kind of show that I should love ironically while rolling my eyes and mocking the sheeple who fall for this ‘entertainment’. But I love it. I truly love it. Each episode is like one giant advert for trendy places in London. It’s like the Real…
Let me preface this by saying I make a lot of mistakes in my story, it could have gone horribly wrong but thankfully it did not. Looking back on the story I am incredibly lucky that my date turned out to be a jerk not a masked murderer. If you’re ever on a date and…
IT’S ME – KAHI (가희) ~ #I’m so bad girl, I’m so cool girl, I’m so sexy sexy sexy girl.# I am so over sex selling everything. I don’t mean I want everyone to be covered up Amish style and be ashamed of their bodies, I’m just over companies thinking they can slap a pair…
I’m the kind of person who needs an end goal. I plan and plan for that end goal, but once I get to it I feel a little empty. That is, till I find a new one. When I’m pursuing a goal I feel like I have a purpose, I feel motivated because I’m moving…
By problem, I mean I’m awesome. By awesome, I mean I should not be allowed to purchase anything ever again. In my defence most of this was from my time in Seoul. But on the other hand, a lot of it isn’t. This is years of stationery hoarding, my god there’s a lot isn’t there?…
I’m a student again! Phew. You have no idea how long I’ve been sitting on this blog post. What can I say? This is a very scary thing. Scary exciting! But still a bit just regular scary. It was a hard decision to make to go back to school as unlike undergraduate loans that you…
My retail experience is extensive, very extensive (sob). I have worked in all kinds of places, food, service, and I have stories that would make you raise your eyebrow. I try not to talk badly of anywhere I’ve worked, even if it was horrible, because every experience is a lesson in some way. Working in…
A few weeks ago my wonderful boyfriend decided to go to Cycle camp. Yeah, all the did was cycle all day, bleigh. So to honor his exercise fueled vacation away I took myself out on a few dates. Unsurprisingly they all involved food. I don’t know how we eat together as we don’t really like…
As you can tell, I haven’t posted anything substantial on my blog forever. This is entirely my fault, because I got stuck in this rut. I used to write things for me, but when I moved over to WordPress I guess I kind of shifted focus and started writing for an audience. Those likes and…
I really love this cover.
And yes, there are English Subs 🙂
Can’t say I’ve ever really paid any attention to the group, but if this is legit (and I think it is) it is very very cool. Sounds like a K-Pop song, I’m actually a little impressed with their pronunciation. Maybe they’ll make it big in Korea? Who knows. I hope this is the start of…
Here be spoilers, many of them. Continue at your peril if you haven’t watched the movie! A friend asked me to go see this movie when it first came out, I said no. I have never really been a DC fan, and I know that it is blasphemy, but I really did not enjoy the…
I’m so exhausted. This last week (and last weekend) has been a whirlwind of activity. The house went from bursting with people to being empty with only me (sad face). I bought a tablet for school! I went to London to hang out with an old friend. I met more of boyfriend’s friends and we…
BEG have always been a raunchy group and I dismissed them for always playing on their sexuality. There’s nothing wrong with playing up your sexuality, but when that’s all I’m constantly bombarded with it feels a little meh. Besides their debut track Abracadabra I haven’t listened to any of their songs, so I’m coming at…
In a world where you favourite heroes are still in nappies, two groups fight over ownership of the most adorable bear. The disclaimer from the beginning of the book really sets the tone for how silly it all is going to be. The Avengers and X-Men are always fighting to save the world, but what…
Korean Entertainment companies take on several idols, some in groups some as soloists and promote them. Even though each promotion has a different concept, it is easy to pick out the role that each idol plays in the group. As with any company, the last thing you want is consumers to be unable to differentiate…
This is the best article I’ve read in a long time on the topic of minorities in the media. Gawker have nailed it, it is quite honestly one of the funniest things I’ve read. And even though it goes against everything I’ve been taught about the internet, read the comments. The comments are almost as…
f(x) always have really strong releases, and listening to this album there are so many standout tracks, I’m really impressed. Usually in an album there are three ‘single’ worthy songs, but this album is just full of them. As always, this group is able to flirt with the line between sexy, cool, fun and cute…
On Saturday Hugh decided to take me geocaching for the first time ever. I have to admit the idea sounded a bit boring, but I persevered because I’m such a trooper. Most of the day was spent walking around in the countryside looking at nature and it was awesome. It is rare that…
This past year has left me a with a lot of time to be very introspective. So I took a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator quiz to better understand myself. This test is not the be all and end all, and I don’t quite agree with every observation, but I have to agree that generally I…
Google Chrome Experiments is a showcase for creative web experiments, the vast majority of which are built with the latest open technologies, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and WebGL. All of them were made and submitted by talented artists and programmers from around the world. Some of the creations are standard derpy things, nothing really standouty….
Spider Man has always been Peter Parker, and Peter Parker has always been Spider Man. Let me be clear, this is not normal. In the comic book universes it is not uncommon for more than one person to take on a singular persona. Even Batman who is synonymous with Bruce Wayne has had others wear the…
My Dad has been in Ghana for a while and one of the foods he misses is pizza, so on Friday we went to Pizza Hut to scratch that itch. I have to say, I wasn’t overly excited about going to Pizza Hut because their standards have been dropping, but I was surprised. Everything was…
Today was really really hot, like 31 Celsius, which just never really happens here. Hugh and I walked around and hung in the park. It was a lot of fun, especially as I got to eat the most delicious sub ever. Honey Oat bread is just amazing, everyone should just have that as default. I…
I don’t know if I can explain to you guys just how thrilled I am.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note, and while some people (haters) have said the phone is way too big, I love it. It’s big enough for me to type with two hands, watch videos without too much eye strain and overall it’s pretty nifty. It is a bit dated now, the Note II is out,…
This is what I woke up to this morning. Click the picture to take you to the blog post Facebook is referring to in the email. Thankfully, I’ve locked down my account and the information on there is negligible. There’s a difference between pretty sure that all the bug placing and spying in movies are…
(to avoid spoilers, only watch the trailer to 1:00) There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. We are told that in this future we have exhausted our natural resources and the world as we knew it was dying. But the good news is that we have found a…
Last week Wu Tang Clan performed at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, but it isn’t their set that everyone is all excited about, it’s their ASL interpreter. While I can’t say I understand her signs, she’s clearly the star of the show, throwing her all into the music and really getting into it. The video…
John McAfee founder of the McAfee Anti-Virus software, has no love for his former company. This isn’t safe for work. This isn’t safe for anything really. You have to watch it, because it’s too funny for words.
There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. If you don’t understand or appreciate British (English) Humour then you should probably stay clear of this movie. I have no idea why I thought this would be a suitable watch for my mother and I, it wasn’t. Nat and…
When I read the announcement I had to check the date to see if it was April 1st. It is not. This is a real thing. Google the internet company wants to bring the internet to everyone. In the promotional videos they are very quick to explain that by everyone, they truly mean everyone in…
So this is what happened, my garden became a wild jungle of terribleness. I have never once in my life seriously mowed the lawn. The benifit of growing up with three boys is that I was never called upon to do any kind of gardening, and I revelled in it. But now they’ve all left…
Learning to drive in the UK is very expensive, I’ve spent a lot of money starting to learn how to drive only to be unable to continue lessons largely due to the cost. I’ll be honest and say my apathy is also part of the problem, because while learning to drive is a great skill…
Today’s plan was to get my hair done. I was super excited because it’s been a while since I’ve gone to a hairdresser that knows what to do with my hair and doesn’t charge crazy prices to do anything with it. Unfortunately, my mother forgot that it was Pay Day at their office, so that…
I’ve been getting a lot of confused messages from my friends because of my last post. Don’t worry guys! I’m still in England, I haven’t gone back to Ghana! Basically when I was out there a few months ago, I wrote out a few blog posts, with the intention of putting them up once I…
I’m here, I arrived yesterday, (thankfully) with no jetlag because Ghana and the UK are in the same time zone. But as travelling has a way of making you exhausted just by its nature I slept for the majority of my first day here. My flight here was smooth and uneventful, I just feel that…
Obviously all kinds of spoilers. Oh man, Iron man 3, is basically The Incredibles. This just reminds me that I haven’t posted my Iron Man 3 review, I’ll get on that.
Lucy & I hung out last week Wednesday and it was pretty fun because I got to try some authentic (-ish) Chinese food. It wasn’t bad, it was just totally different to food I’d eaten before. Plus, I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures there was a lot of it, so I…
Bank Holiday Monday was a lot of fun, we sat in the park and tried to be mushy and cute, but it was really windy and that kind of put a pin the romance. It was nice though, sitting outside on the mat, enjoying what little nature the city has to offer. But it was…
Hugh and I were on our way to the park for the day and we were going to pick up some sandwiches at the closest sandwich shop, turns out bees had nested there and were having none of it. I felt pretty bad for the shop owners, a Public Holiday, sunny day and then…
BBM (which stands for Blackberry Messenger) for the unfamiliar was one of the first texting apps (that I remember and used) available that used data. As the name suggests it was exclusive to Blackberry handsets, each phone came with a Pin that you would use as an identifier to allow friends to add you. …
Marvel is cashing in and cashing in fast! I should say that I love this new reboot of their film and TV franchise because it’s very rare that I can get my parents (who am I kidding, family) to watch and more importantly enjoy watching nerdy things with me. We all knew that they were…
Reimagining my resume (yes, I say resume, deal with it) got me all excited about being creative again. I haven’t played around with the Adobe Suite properly since CS3 and while most of it looks familiar in CS6, I found myself feeling pretty vulnerable and lost. Basically needed to get my act together and relearn all…
Samsung. Samsung, Samsung, Samsung. We’re not in South Korea. We are not South Korean people. This makes no sense to a Western Audience.
I went to stay with my cousin and her family during Easter. We had planned to do more sightseeing, but it was so cold and so awful we just sat indoors mostly and watched TV. It was very nice if I’m being honest, being in a house that’s busy with lots of people. Having lived…
