Tonight I decided to go through the blogroll grapevine.

I took one of the blogs on my blogroll [The Battle Rock Spot], and then visited someone on their blogroll, and then on that person’s blogroll, and so forth. So far I have found great blogs which, in future, I might add to my own blogroll.

And here’s the list of the lucky winners…. *drumroll*

In case you were interested: As crazy as I am about writers, weird facts and tech blogs, so much do I hate politics. There is no blog category that makes me close the tabs quicker.

If you have been hanging around here from the start of my blog, you’ll know that my blog has had several titles. I finally settled with “Ô oui!” for a couple of reasons.

1. I love French - its such a sensual language.
   
2. Its the name of one of my favourite perfumes.
3. It means “Oh yes!” - and since I’m such a pessimist, I have to force myself to look at life more optimistic, which is exactly the goal of my blog. When I look back on it, I can see how I’ve grown, and how life is actually great. Things tend to work out more often than I care to remember, and having such a real reminder is exactly what I needed back when I started. Even now, I still enjoy every minute of it.
4. All over the internet there isn’t another blog with the same name (that I could find yet), still I found load of sites which have “Oui” on them, with some pretty cute images - have a look for yourself…

I’m every day still amazed by the creativity of humans. The incredible endlessness of imagination. How extreme our ideas are, which haven’t been explored to the full, and won’t ever be. Again, I’ve stumbled onto something at which I stand astonished. Have a look for yourself. Personally I LOVE this place. Though its freaky, its somewhere I’d love to go, but would like to stay in a different room each night.

The PROPELLER ISLAND CITY LODGE (Belgium) is - truly - a VERY extraordinary location. All rooms and objects were created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. Much more appropriate than “hotel” is the designation “living in a work of art”.
30 rooms with an absolutely unique and personal ambiance. “Unique” is meant literally, for the entirety of all furnishings and other objects you will discover here are custom-made, individual handiwork. None can be found anywhere else on this planet - one could consider the CITY LODGE to be a MUSEUM with guest accommodations or a stay-in work of SCULPTURE.
The rooms are designed and constructed without compromise (!), varying from the tame to the extreme, and are well able to more or less alter your perspective of reality - according to your taste and sense of adventure.

So if you’re planning a holiday I would seriously suggest that you stay over at the Propeller Lodge, that’s if you have the guts Personally I would like to try out “Grandma’s Room” [first image below] - the shower is inside the cupboard!!! How cool is that?

Hope you find this funny, weird, amusing or SOMETHING.

I think its really gross, but yet still funny. I’m amazed at that animal’s flexibility, and at the same time disgusted by it.

Thought I might make someone smile, and since I left half the content of the intended post at work, I figured I have to post something else. I promise the next post won’t be as shallow

Hey you all… Just popped in to say hi, and that I’m on BloggersChoiceAwards - So please vote for me!

As you will see, the button is already there on your top left hand side (had to think for a moment which side <- that is…)
I’ve been trying hard to get back to everyone who has ever commented on my site, and was surprised to see how many of those blogs don’t exist any more.

You might have noticed that I’ cleared my blogroll too - removed some of the old and dead links. If you’d like to be on my blogroll however, please contact me by leaving a comment or e-mailing me.

Please note however that I do reserve the right to deny adding your blog due to lack of updates, obscene material, abusive advertisements, or any other offensive material which I do not wish to promote.

Sarah Tancredi & Michael Scofield. These were the two people who have intrigued me into watching Prison Break - the two sweethearts meant to end up together. Or are they?

Both so beautiful…

But to get to the point, Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) is one hell of an actor. Without Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) Prison Break wouldn’t have turned out the huge success as it has.

His good looks plus awesome talent scores pretty high with just about all the girls I know. I have two episodes left to watch (of the second season), and I’m hoping so hard that Michael Scofield and Sarah Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) will end up together in Panama, and live “Happily Ever After”.

If you haven’t watched Prison Break yet - buy yourself the DVD’s and start a.s.a.p. - be warned though, its ADDICTIVE!

If ever I have a secret crush, it would definitely be on Wentworth Miller.

My desks a mess as always and I worked till nearly dark tonight - mind you that wasn’t very hard as winter is approaching & it was raining.

Purely for Slicksumbich’s amusement I’m posting today’s key words.

I found the last one especially freaky - I had to look that up on urbandictionary.com, after which I realized how obvious it actually was… GROSS!!! Goes to show what kind of SICK people are out there!! (With us on the net!)

“Kulula staff hijacking eggs” also caught my attention - by the way, Kulula is a South African airline… AND THEY HAVEN’T HIJACKED EGGS!!!

Take care of yourselves - watch out for all the freaks on the net!

G’night…

So I finally got the courage together to clean up my shells!!!

On Sunday I had some help from my boyfriend, and we washed all the shells carefully - picking out some of the rotten dead snails within in the “pumpkin shells” - that was probably the grossest thing I’ve EVER done.

But I’m all done now, and they’re all layed out on newspaper covered table OUTSIDE - I’m leaving them there a while to get rid of the ocean smell.

I’ll soon spray paint them with varnish - makes them look wet, plus it hardens them a bit. Now I have to find something to do with them afterwards though…

Any suggestions?

This morning I heard over the radio that William & Kate broke up??

Awe… And they were such a cute couple! I will leave them be, and not discuss the reasons of the break up, those that make the media are probably untrue in any case. I would never wish for anyone to go through the heartache of a break up and hope that, if at all possible, they’d be able to sort things out. Can you just imagine the extra heartache of having everyone (all over the world) sticking their noses into your life? Commenting on who did what and why and…. It would just FREAK me OUT!

Whatever the future holds, best to both of these beautiful people.

Something else I found rather strange this morning is that one of the search keys which led to my blog was “Kate Middleton Pee” —- WTH??? How sick are people to google for THAT??? And how sick is it that my site pops up for that search? LOL - really bizarre!

Especially dedicated to the South Africans who currently find themselves abroad. We hope you miss us, and the unmistakable signs of being in S.A. - take care!!!
