And A New Weekend Dawns

1) Robin Williams 1951-2014. 5 Great Interviews.

Rest In Peace, beloved Mork.

Rest In Peace, beloved Mork.

And the slightly more dubious 15 Priceless Things Said By Robin Williams. I am annoyed “I’m Mork, from Ork,” didn’t make the cut. So roars my inner dork.

I enjoyed "Nanu nanu" when I was about 5.....

2) End of the week, need a hug? A disproportionate number of these involve animals. What does it say about animals? 😀

Some are predictable (but no less sweet)...

3) “I Don’t Work For Free.” The at times heated exchange between an artist and a company hosting a… “contest” for artwork.

Spot the PR problem?

Spot the PR problem?

Highlighted here because even big (I assume – MGM Grand Las Vegas and tix?) company gets flamed for “contest prize” that is basically the “honor” of them using “prize winner’s” work on fight week. But well there is also trip to Vegas…

4) Stunning Pictures Of People Who Have Left City Life To Live Off The Land. Includes an English Literature and Philosophy professor, and her former Engineer husband.

5) Almost the same thing… Rich and Famous People Who Were Once Homeless.

Yes Him.

Yes Him.

And Her.

And Her.

6) Close enough… Shelter Dog Makeovers prove every sad stray is handsome underneath. I disagree. Some of them are pretty dashing before makeover. When you can see their faces.

Hello Handsome

7) And also somewhat related… The Proof Dogs Love You No Matter How Much Money You Don’t Have photo series of homeless dogs and owners.

He's still got dog grooming brushes!

8) Rockstar skit has a few more pictures this week, titled How Would You Paint Your Elephant? 

Miss and I chanced upon the Elephant Parade exhibition 2014 Hong Kong while out and about, from which we brought home an elephant of our own to paint (interestingly the crowded little stall was all-locals with not a few little kids buying decorated elephants of their choices…)

Rockstar soon gets enticed to join in:

And when the Miss dots her own nose he follows suit for a photo op :)

We left the elephant to dry...

And added felt and foam stickers for texture!

A-and finished product! Ta-daa!

The Miss has named this gem “Garden-ephant”.

I’m still dithering about a Mork and Mindy-phant.

Good weekend dears…

    Have a good weekend to all of you too!

    Really sad to hear about Robin Williams. I watched Mork and Mindy too when I was a child.

    Rockstar was so sporting to dot his own nose for a photo. Garden ephant looks pretty.
