//SOME LIGHTNESS.

I am currently busy writing my thesis.Some of you might know that this can be a bit challenging at times. I am quick to admit that I do not have the most extended attention span. I easily get distracted and my mind enjoys going for a stroll. Today is one of the days where I just need some lightness to brave the books. Often the best place to find this is by having a browse on the interwebs:). I came across this image which I find worth sharing.It might be slightly insensitive, but lightness was served.

//TAKE A SEAT.
Today is perfect blogging weather. It's rainy 'n cold outside so best to stay indoors.Actually it would be ideal to just watch a bad comedy now,make myself a rich hot chocolate as well as a hot water bottle and take it easy, but let's not make the weather rob me of my "productivity". Hence, the answer is "to blog". I came across a few funny chairs the last few days, and since us lazy people like chairs, I decided to post a productivity increasing chair 9or rather functionless chairs)...

/FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK....(sorry about the lame reference.I hate ACDC, so don't even know where that came from:P)
style> comfort

//BAUCYCLE


Sometimes I wish everything was closer to each other, and that there were proper bicycle passages next to the roads here in South Africa. Imagine riding this Bauhaus bicycle instead of having to put up with traffic and fuel prices. If I would be more fit, I'd definitely be in.

//SPOMENIK

I have been collecting images of these type of Monuments if for a while now. I suppose what mad them fascinating is that they resembled something "out of this world".I realized many of them had something in common, so I decided to look up what these unconventional monuments are based on. These "Spomenok" monuments are located in Slovenia and serve as mass graves, which are spread throughout the country.In 1945, the at the time Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia set upon a program of purges of political opponents and undesirables at the end of World War II, resulting in over to 400 known mass grave sites holding tens of thousands of victims. source: here

//LAZY SUSAN GOES SKATING.
I came across this table ages ago and have been meaning to share it, yet never got to it.What better is there to do on a sunday night then to post on my blog:). This great lazy susan table consists of skateboard trucks keeping the glass surface in position through the perfect 360° rotation and the the rubbery wheels. What flawless and clever design. Price:$ 1750
10/10.

//FASHION TIPS BABY #5-6-7!

Man, sometimes I wish Blogger didn't suck so much.This is the third time I am trying to post this.Alas, patience prevails!These items are worth it!

Thought I'd upload three this time since it's been a while since the last Fashion Tips feature!

The navigation shirt!

Whoever thought this one up was probably not aware of a GPRS or had figured that this items 2 in 1 "practicality" would top the latest navigation technology.
Now you can arrive on time and do it with style!



The Nutritional Wristwatch!

I love this wristwatch.Since I find wristwatches to be a bit elaborate nowadays (seriously..doesn't everyone have a cell phone at hand?), this item has given the concept of a wristwatch its second breath!Now there's no need to beat around the bush anymore.You can simply ask...what does your watch display? Bacon 'n eggs, a sandwich, or some roast beef...then you'll be right on track with your nutritional schedule.Isn't that why the concept of time was invented?







Something for the "cool cats"
I don't think this one really needs a write up.The colours are just assertive enough...and nevermind the awesome cat pattern.sold!

//THIS AND THAT. It's been a busy week yet again. Not only do I have a lot of deadlines haunting my conscience, but I also have been pretty busy organizing or rather sending out mails for City Slickers, have been trying to get my mikado stuff up and going again, make dust art and nearly sliced off my finger.Phewww. Well, luckily I've still had a few minutes to find new stuff to post.I went to visit one of my favourite blogs this week (http://www.swiss-miss.com/), and started reading up on this years Art Basel (so awesome). One link lead to another, and then I came upon this great piece by Tatian Trouvé... check out the gallery which represents her here.



/...One more thing.
Check out this chair chair (double wording intended:)


A JOKE FOR THE ART NERDS:
