Smile…

Totally feelin’ Kanye West right now.

Been tittering at his lyrics:

Talkin’ ’bout: “when prince was on apollonia” and i’m thinking… with your little (young) self, how would you know when prince and apollonia ‘dated’?

And the radio edit that allows you to fluidly fill in the gap: “how you stay faithful in a room full of ….” (applicable to both females and males).

Too true when he says Loren Hill’s heart should come back to rhyming.

And never hesitant to talk badly: “don’t see why i need a stylist when i shop so much i can speak Italian”.

Below: Yes. I did :)

Heaven must be like this

 Once in a while I get to step into my idea of paradise: A bookshop with more titillation (ahem… to the mind) than I could ever hope to handle :)

Running with the hippos

Lately been driving around places that have ”beware of the hippo” signs. Everytime I see that sign… I want to hang around waiting to see for myself… (ati they can outrun a human? yeah right) want to yell “bring it on” as I get on my marks…

Below: Placement of that apostrophe has me wondering if the hippo too, eats, shoots and leaves.
