My new pad. Sans filter:

don't mind me...

...i is gotta sit and paint muh face

i used to have a habit of painting myself (usually like a cat) while working on a project, forgetting about it, and then going out in public. And more than once that resulted in me strangers responding with offensive meows. 

*by used to i mean i no longer show my painted face in public

The Song of Wandering Aengus

I adore beer & wine bottle labels. So much so that I'm not only collecting them, I'm dressing up like them ^^ (And, if you're anything like me, you too make your beverage purchases based on the packaging design. Y'know, it's logical.)

Before any glass bottles are tossed into the recycle bin, 

save the sticker!

Easy: fill up the sink or a pot with hot water and soak the bottle for a bit (fill the bottle so it sinks), and the label will safely peel off in one piece! Beware that the glue might still be a bit tacky.

Cya, nightmares!

French Blue Things:

I was gifted a Kinderschokolade.

It's a little German candy egg with a toy in the center.

I could have opened my egg and been delighted by a Smurf. 

A happy Smurf 

or a Smurfette 

or a Sleepy Smurf 

or a Scared Smurf 

or a Bookworm Smurf

or a Smurf Hugging A Bear Friend Smurf...

But no.

I got the Angry Old One Toothed Geezer.

German candy is so unfair.
