Blog of the Week 4

I sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star whilst oscillating my index finger over the pages of my bigger dictionary - thereby picking the word 'lost'.
Lots of people like the tv show Lost.
And lots of people have lost their blogs.
But only one girl has an impossibly voracious appetite for brass goggles and all things steampunk.
Hey Tinkergirl: Great blog!

Blog of the Week 3

This week, serendipity breathes the word 'orderly' into our collective ear, like a kiss from a faraway land.
Or Russia to be more pinpointy.
Russian mail order brides for you!
It's hard to imagine young Russian women without thinking of James Bond. Indeed, if you follow the link 'Why Russian Women?' your answer will take the form of a quote from Tomorrow Never Dies (allegedly, although I don't recall this quote):
'A key to the great story is not who, or what, or when, but - why?'
If that ain't enough to convince you, there are plenty of satisfied customers eager to offer their tuppence worth:
'With the Russian ladies I have met, I feel younger ...'
'... they are warme, and they can give. thy like home. i mean they care about their home and they dont forget themselfe.'
And my personal favourite:
'... beautiful, articulate, and personable to the point of gently walking inside one's mind, softly and constantly ...'
Apparently, Russian shops sell only very short skirts.
Which could be counted as another plus I guess.
Oh, and give yourself ten points if you can find a bride-to-be who doesn't list 'travelling' as a hobby.
Now, how do I apply for Olga's address ..?

Blog of the Week 2

This week's random word is dowry.
Which led me a merry and peculiar dance.
I've chosen Granny Lost the Plot, and its counterpart, Head Rambles.
In these two blogs, you'll discover what happens when granny and grandad communicate through the medium of blog (not just with the world but with each other). A distractionarily disturbing blend of love and vitriol.

Blog of the Week

Hey there fellow maggot farmers.
Such a big world. So many amazing people - people just like you!
In the spirit of this blog, I hereby launch the Blog of the Week.

Here's how it works.
I pick a word at random from my dictionary.
I type the word into google.
I search until I find an inspirational blog.

This week's random word is mechanism.
And the blog I have selected is Louise Ma's. She is 21 and, since leaving the south bay area of California, she has longed for a Vietnamese sandwich. Boy, does that sandwich look tasty.
Louise is studying Design at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York.
Good luck with the course Louise.
