The gourmet blender

Going through my stuff I found this little gem, from lost times when a blender was an exotic thing… I just love finding things that I forgot I had… I have to try out one of the recipes sometimes when I’m filled with courage

Hundreds-and-thousands

May we make you aware that we now have gotten a hundred thousand hits, and we are amazingly proud of every single one of them, so thanks a bunch with sprinkles on top…

Ta-da!

What the…? Color-coordinated blog posts?

I was just scrolling down the blog and apparently we are running a colour theme of brown, red and black for January/February posts. How weird is that. Gotta find something purple to post.

This is how the geeks do housework

Though we actually don’t do housework, so it’s not entirely true…. Spotted these lovely pics at Gala Darling’s blog. They are by Pamela Hanson for Vanity Fair.

Lost in the supermarket

And the winner of “Best title of an art exhibition” is: Ben Frost. He has created some really nice stuff for the Lost in the supermarket exhibition. This one is my favourite. Check out more of his work here.

Dear me!!

This just don’t stop being funny, badly taxidermied animals by people who clearly never saw even a picture or a bad drawing of the species.

Watch and learn

I highly recommend locking away your TV. I did that about a year ago and I haven’t regretted it for a second. That doesn’t mean I don’t watch pictures in motion – I just choose what I want to see online. And there is plenty of good stuff out there – one of my favorites being VBS.TV. Showing everything from the biggest ass in Brazil to black hole research at CERN it can’t be beat by any real TV station. At the moment they are showing an 8-episode “travel guide” to Liberia that is really thought provoking (episode 7 was released yesterday). It’s definitely not your average travel guide about where to get the best mojitos or how to pet an elephant in the right way. Keywords are more like civil war, killings, cannibalism, corrupt brothel industry, heroin and lack of healthcare.

In my opinion, one of the best VBS.TV productions so far is the documentary “Heavy Metal in Bagdad” about the band Acrassicauda who struggle to keep the band together in spite of the war going on around them in Iraq. The documentary must be about 3 years old by now. I watched it in London at the ICA and still remember the look the ticket-sales-girl gave me from above her square-framed hipster glasses when I asked for two tickets to Heavy Metal in Bangladesh – clearly thinking  ”It should have been my art hanging on these walls, come on, spot my talent so I don’t have to sell tickets to moron Danes with a ridiculous English accent who mix up Bagdad with Bangladesh. Get me out of here!”.

Be sure to watch it if you ever get the opportunity.

Recession solutions

In case you don’t have a small fortune to buy the silver version, this is the D.I.Y. solution, made of leather and brass rings… and I kind of like it… But I would still very much like the Delettrez piece!

It’s an order
