Hey Na Na

I did spend a long time decorating the old ukulele, so it was a pity now that it finally gave in... My new ukulele is f…

Genius is...

Genius is...
.... this. Invention. This awesome image was my Tumblr find of the day - a spoon for eating noodle soup when you want to actually drink the soup too.

Beauty is...

Beauty is...
A week of: exhaustion, tears, laughter, melancholy, hysterics, window-shopping, singing and feeling bogged down by stresses. I wonder whether there's a day when stress flies out the window because the concept of being stress just disappeared from the world. Can human beings do anything without…
