I Love Links - 04/06/09

OK so I soon realised my internet presence is pretty weak (damn full times jobs and their limited access to the internet). So this will be more of a random thing, as opposed to a weekly thing as I'd hoped.

• Not Quite Nigella is a wonderful blog by a Sydney girl who is obsessed with food. She bakes and cooks and posts pictures and recipes, as well as reviews food wherever she goes. It's all so delicious. I am the worst cook ever, so much so I stuffed up my first batch of these! Oh yeah, I am that bad! I just usually admire other peoples skills on the internet instead.


• I was going to write my own blog about this very thing, but someone beat me to it: How to be supportive of someone on a diet. Non-dieters have no idea how hard it can be to diet. If you're on a diet, show this to the people in your life who don't quite "get it" because it'll make a world of difference!


• I rediscovered the Perry Bible Fellowship and spent the last week or so laughing about skub. Seriously, it cracks me up constantly. In fact I have that comic as my desktop at work and it makes me chuckle every morning. I also plan to get the Unicorn Power shirt one of these days.


• This is what it would be like to swim with a blue whale. It breaks my heart to think these poor creatures are endangered.


• When I first heard about the Eminem and Bruno stunt I was gullible enough to think Eminem had really been that pissed off. Then I was told it was all set up and was happy again. I love Eminem (shhh!) so it was a great relief!


• Some sound advice about chick and lad mags. Every time I read something like Woman's Day I want to throw it out a window in a fit of rage. Lad mags don't worry me as much simply because 90% of their readers would never, ever have a chance in hell of pulling any of the hot girls in any of those magazines. Reading them does tend to make me feel like a big of a while though :/


• I was told it was common but I never heard of anyone else being allergic to mangoes. But then I did some research and realised I'm not the only one! I don't eat mangoes any more. Screw having to eat fruit with gloves after someone else removed the skin ffirst! No fruit is worth that much effort, even mangoes!


• And lastly, Blueprint has a new website. His blog is great - go check it out!

And now we have the YouTube section of this post:

• Guy dancing at Sasquatch Festival. This is one reason why I love music festivals. Good times.


• Philipino boys dance to "Single Ladies". This is so cute! I got a lecture from ym best friend who is Filo about how these boys are probably being groomed to become go-go dancers in Japan (aka male prostitutes) but I can't resist cute kids doing cute things!


• Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Version. I can't decide if I love this more than the literal version of "Take on me". Classic!
