One of the perks of having young ones at home is getting to watch kids shows all the time (to the point you actually want to smash the TV with a chair)
Yes, I am so thrilled that it is Thursday finally, not that weekends matter much to me anymore. But, Thursday is pizza night, movie night and also just a wonderful day. It is also the night I don’t turn on the alarm clock for the next day. It is also the first Thursday in November. I love Novembers and I love Thursdays! Here is some stuff you can do:
Someone shared a link to an ebook called Archewallogy by Tarek Chemally. Being a book lover and someone who just can’t pass the idea of Free and Book together in the same sentence I downloaded it. And offffffffff offff offfff I loved it! It is a collection of photographs of walls all over Beirut. Alot of these images are of things that no longer exist. Chemaly then collaborated with Ashekman a group of graffiti artists/rappers and came up with both a video called “El hitan am tehkini” (The walls are talking to me) and the book. I loved the video clip too, it’s like an urban/retro mix that is interesting with even more interesting lyrics. This would make a really interesting coffee table book.

My daughter is totally obsessed with Hello Kitty. When I was younger I had a very similar obsession, I still love anything with Hello Kitty, but my favorite item used to be a pencil topper. It got lost years ago and I still miss it sometimes.
I was looking for some Hello Kitty videos for Lulu and found this and it reminded me of what my sister wrote all about our imagination games a while back.

I used to love getting older, really, I did. I always felt that the older I got the better life would become. I thought that I would be able to see the world, do the things I wanted to do and be the person I wanted to be. “Har har har” Life said, “The joke is on you”. I definitely don’t feel “older” but feel more “aged”.
I think the biggest change that I’ve noticed is my inability to let go and dream like I used to. I used to believe that the world was my oyster and that I was invincible and could do everything and anything I wanted to do.
Now, I am more laid back which is not a bad thing but just different. I used to worry about everything, but now I know that things will figure themselves out in the end every time.

I watching the clip and started to cry. I cried because it was so touching, true and painful. I cried because when you are so far away from all of the important women in your life you know how much they mean to you and how important their support is. You understand that with their help, hugs and compassion, your life is a nicer place to be.

I own an HTC which runs Windows Mobile 6. Ever since I got the phone ( a year and a half ago) I have hated the mobile version of Internet Explorer, I don’t use IE anyways and thought the mobile version was slow, had horrible rendering and was not exactly user or touch friendly. I tried Opera but it would crash every single time and Minimo and some other browsers but still was not satisfied.
Until yesterday, bored out of my mind, my husband hogging the laptop I did a search for mobile browsers on my phone and got Skyfire. In a couple of minutes it was downloaded, installed and up and running. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I love testing new software and usually uninstall as soon as I am unhappy with it. Skyfire was amazing, it is fast, easy to use, touch friendly and has lots of great features. Web pages are rendered exactly as they are and you can zoom in and out. It supports javascript, Ajax and you can even watch YouTube clips on it, which was impossible before. Best of all, it is free.
