1) Because cute animal pictures trump anything I could possibly have to say… always. Animals Seeing Snow For The First Time.

OFF! Get it…… OFF!

2) Greek Mum’s Response To Picky Eaters (basically “then don’t eat until the next meal”.) Not sure that works entirely because both my kids are determined and strong-willed and I don’t want determined, strong-willed kids with ulcers but I think some form of it I think is good… Btw I had an ex colleague who didn’t even allow her kids to send back wrong orders when restaurants messed up their orders, because she thought it taught them to adapt when things sometimes didn’t go their way in life… We were at the restaurant and one of her boys who must’ve been about 10 was served pasta with a white carbonara sauce instead of the tomato marinara he asked for…
But the link is there more because of the slide show at bottom re some of the weird eating habits kids have. I met someone whose boy doesn’t accept food on a plate if the different kinds are touching each other. Carrots must maintain a respectable distance from peas. Here’s more:
And in the same vein, Rockstar’s would be, “Hi, my name is Rockstar. I don’t eat tofu unless you fry it in extra virgin olive oil and don’t tell me what it is. And then I love it.”

3) Another Just Let Em Do It: Science “Jerk” Sells Nobel.
What price, honor? The whole reason the Nobel can command that kind of money lies in it being the highest honor that will bend lotsa people’s noses out of shape. (Well d-uh). So I was well…. if you need the money… it’s better than stealing it…
“But Brutus Is An Honorable Man?” I read all the other things the article says about this guy, and how he’s doing it to upset people. He’s been quoted as saying some pretty awful and racist things and I assume some people say awful, scandalous things just for the shock value – it’s easier to horrify than to inspire everyone. But isn’t it also obvious he’s some old guy who is just increasingly looking for attention?
Well, whatever – if he’s making donations, which is one of the things he says he wants to do with the money, then just let him sell it, offended science community and what-not. Because out of a huge vanity gesture, shalt come some real good. Pride should not be confused with honor. Pride is worth selling away. Respect can only be earned. And honor is the value you place on your own word. Your honor is your respect for yourself.
(Wah chim. Sorry. Changed my Nespresso capsules :D)

4) Fastfood Order Hacks. No idea if this works in Asia (special ordering fast food will make it decidedly not fast in Malaysia and in Hong Kong even though it’s fast people probably hate you way more) but getting a real egg from Mc Donald’s was attractive. (Because apparently there are 3 kinds of egg and only that one is “real”? So what are the other two?!)

5) Not sure which is more daring, the fast food one or this: Daredevil Moab Monkeys.

6) Rockstar has the skit this week, titled Self Portrait:
One fine day in the Rockstar household…
“Watcha Painting, Ko-ko?”
Yes, really. The Guinea Pig with the crazy hair.
And his Self Portrait:
Good Weekend, Dears…
Rockstar’s drawing of the GP is so cute!
May all of you have a great weekend!
