Finding your happy place Always at the office when somebody is depressed or down we joke and say: 'Find your Happy place'. Untill recently I did not have a clue what my happy place would look like but the movie 'Finding Neverland' has changed my imagination. In the movie the writer of Peter Pan describes Neverland and when his lady friend Sylvia falls shick, he surprises her and shows her Neverland in her Garden. Everybodies Neverland will look different but this is what mine looks like

Oscar 

Oscar nomination trivia 2005

1) The 11 Oscar nominations garnered by Martin Scorsese's film "The Aviator" this year falls short of the record of 14 held jointly by 1997's "Titanic" and 1950's "All About Eve."

2) Two actors scored double nominations for the 2005 Academy Awards:
Jamie Foxx and veteran star Clint Eastwood.

Foxx won a best actor nod for his acclaimed performance as soul legend Ray Charles in "Ray" and a best supporting actor nomination for his role in the thriller "Collateral."
Foxx's double acting nods make him only the 10th actor in Oscar history to be nominated in both leading and supporting categories in the same year, putting him in an elite class with the likes of Jessica Lange in 1982, Sigourney Weaver in 1988, Holly Hunter in 1993, Emma Thompson and Julianne Moore in 2002.

Eastwood, 72, won a best director nod for his drama about a troubled female boxer, "Million Dollar Baby," as well as a best actor not for his role as trainer and ageing fighter Frankie Dunn in the film.

3) Four out of five of the best actor nominees won their recognition for playing real-life characters, mostly in a wave of biopics that dominated the silver screen in 2004. Foxx played Ray Charles, Johnny Depp played Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie in "Finding Neverland," Leonardo DiCaprio played US billionaire Howard Hughes in "The Aviator" and Don Cheadle played a hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina in "Hotel Rwanda."

4) Despite being acclaimed as one of Hollywood's top directors after producing such classics as "Taxi Driver" (1976) and "Goodfellas" (1990), Martin Scorsese has been nominated for a total of six Oscars in the past, but has never won a golden statuette.

5) In a nod to diversity, black actors feature in three of the four acting categories this year: Foxx as best actor for "Ray," Don Cheadle as best actor for "Hotel Rwanda," Morgan Freeman as best supporting actor for "Million Dollar Baby," Foxx as best supporting actor for "Collateral" and Britain's Sophie Okonedo as best supporting actress in "Hotel Rwanda."

Watch out Pigeons! 

Happy Cliche day

It's that time of the year again folks - 14 Feb.

A dreaded day for singles and guys who's girlfriends have high expectations.

Here are some of the Best anti-Valentine lines that I've heard:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented and entirely arbitary,
manipulative & shallow interpretation of romance day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know everything about you.
I know where you live.
I know what you like to do before bed.
I know which washing powder you use.
I know where you keep your spare key

I love you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have feelings for you but I thought I'd let this card do all the work because I haven't got the imaganation or energy to let you know in my own words
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Latest Season of SURVIVOR PLAYMATES
Men will find it hard to believe that Woman not Girls still have a Soft Spot for their Soft toys. (excuse the pun). They collect these softoys from a young age, some of the soft toys goes to charity, the collection grows as boyfriends buy them even more soft toys and soon their is almost no space left on the poor womans bed. (sorry to the boyfriend)
This is when the illimunation progress starts better knows as Survivor Playmates.
The newest, cutest, softes ... toy get to stay on the bed and all the unlucky ones become Closet cases. Shame - what a hard life for a soft toy!

Saying of the day 

After a century Americans have finally given up on boats (blamed on the Titanic) and aeroplanes (blamed on 9/11) and decided to use a more traditional approach of transport. 

Revenge is sweet! 

Super Scare Me

McDonals are just screaming for bad publicity.
First the movie Super size me and now their latest ad.

The latest TV ad is downright scary and I wonder how many children will switch over to
KFC rather wanting to face Colonel Sanders.

Here’s a synopsis of the ad: pretty young lady goes into bathroom to find her lipstick.
She opens the cupboard and when she closes it, Ronald McDonald is right behind her, brushing his hair. She gets a fright and Ronald gives some sort of a twisted laugh.
It’s really freaky!

I couldn’t help but notice the resemblance between Ronald and ‘It’ the scary clown from Steven Spielbergs movie that kills kiddies underneath their beds.

Lots of people have clown phobia and here’s a link to the Anti-Clown site:

Get rid of your office frustration - Play 'Tontie' 

'The SkullKid' 

Is jy GAME? Don't try this at home kids

In die vorige eeu het ons 'Games' geken as Monopoly, Cluedo en 30 seconds.
Met die Internet wat deesdae alles oorneem is als egter anders. Op die Internet kan jy 'n verskeidenheid interessante, weird en partykeer vulgere speletjies speel.

Kom ons begin by die onskuldiges.
'Tontie' en 'Hatch' moet jy verkilende objects eet of met 'n hamer slaan. Hierdie speletjies is baie ontspannend en mens hoef nie veel te dink nie. (Veral goed as jy op kantoor is en vinnig van frustrasie wil ontslae raak)
Hier is die link na die 2 games http://www.eyezmaze.com/tontie/v1/index.html

Die website Newgrounds http://www.newgrounds.com/ het onlangs hul meer gewaagde speletjies vir volwassenes gelaunch. Jy kan bevoorbeeld 'n Assasin word en vir Britney Spears doodmaak, raai watse liggaamsdele daar vir jou gewys word of probeer die ultimate game: THE SKULLKID http://www.newgrounds.com/games/
