I may have written about Chris Guillebeau’s e-book 279 Days to Overnight Success before, chances are if you read a lot on the net that you’ve heard of or read it already. And if you haven’t you really should. Chris also has a manifesto that he published mid 2008 titled A Brief Guide to World Domination. He’s a great writer and it’s definitely a great read. And it’s free! In the manifesto he links to an exercise which will help you map out what your ideal life is, with the aim of being able to map the steps to get your ideal life. If your sick of the rules of having a career (go to uni, get an entry level job, work your way up, conform at every step) or are a non conformist in general. Then Chris is your guy.
I didn’t discover DeadBall’s recaps of New Zealand’s Next Top Model until the show was finishing. But it doesn’t make them any less entertaining. DeadBall is usually a sportsy blog, and the NZNTM posts are written by the male editor of Real Groove magazine. It just makes it all the more entertaining. Plus they love Ruby (aka NZs most likeable hot chick) too.
100 awesome characters drawn on mostly square bits of cardboard. Amazing and unique.
All of these “craziest and weirdest restaurants” look cool. I wouldn’t actually want to eat at most of them, but I love that people are pushing the boundaries. I would love to eat at BED though. I find bed so comfortable, probably because our couch is so damned uncomfortable, but that’s not the point. The Boy however hates sitting up in bed so I always have to watch movies in the lounge, the lounge with the uncomfortable couch. :[

Total Eclipse of the Heart – Literal Video Version

At my old job there was a guy just like this. I’m so glad I don’t work there any more!
Pretty drawers. I could use all of those little cubbys for my beads and ribbons and chains and brooches and…
Asian Poses is sweeping the internet at the moment. Maybe these poses are the secret weapons of the young Asian female, the weapon that make them so cute. I have a suspicion it will only work when you combine the poses with a tiny body and flawless skin and make up.
The easiest tote bag to make ever! Now there’s a good use for all the old slobby t shirts you have. Will be trying this in the near future.
More recycling, but of the much more complicated variety. Animals made from old electronic parts.
Notes on people watching. Some good points about how to not look like a creepy weirdo.
I think these two looks sum up my fashion ideals pretty well. An androgynous suit style and a sparkly poofy pink dress.
