For those who enjoy steampunk novels, here is the genre that would be the perfect soundtrack to your reading pleasure. Caravan Palace is a marvelous example of the melange that is electro swing. Big band sensibilities with electronica edginess, this genre is whimsical and magical with an underlying darkness like hidden teeth.

Horrorwood
So pretty ... *swoons*
What you would love to say about douchebag colleagues.
There are some things that even Freddy Krueger wouldn't touch.
Be afraid, Fido. Be very afraid.
Arachnophobia. It gets to us all.
Happy belated Father's Day?
Male pregnancy is now more than just fanfiction.
Somehow, I prefer the Sheryl Crow cover version better.

Relationship manifesto
(Un)healthy relationships ... if you are in one or are looking for one, this is the song for you.
I give you the delightful Emily Haines and DJ Tiesto. Lyrics can be found here.

Ah, l'amour ...
I have a fondness for Malay songs that were produced in the 70's and 80's; I think the melody and lyrics resonate with the closeted romantic in me.
Noor Kumalasari was a model, actress and singer in her heydays. She was well-known for her stylish attire that complements her tall and willowy figure. As an actress, she specialised in tearjerker films like Tiada Esok Bagimu, Abang, Matinya Seorang Patriot and Esok Untuk Siapa. I loved her in the movie Rahsia, where she played a grieving mother haunted by the ghost of her child. It was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
She had produced around three albums and one greatest hits album. Noor didn't restrict herself to a single genre, singing romantic and even comedy songs. Her voice is distinctive and is capable of decent range; but to me, her greatest strength as a singer is the sincerity of emotions that she can convey. It breathes life into her songs; plucking your heartstrings with emotions or making you laugh out loud.
It was reported that she is now content to stay out of the limelight to devote herself to God and her family. Bless her for having shared her talents with us.

A lolcat life
I love animal macros (I think you can tell by now). Let me use some of them illustrate what I think other people see when they look at me.
This is the reason why I make a lousy photographer (and investigator too).
This happens a lot to me too.
I do this a lot to my niece (and vice versa)
This could substitute as one my school photos.

Moar better living through chemistry - midweek sh*ts and giggles
Because I am lazy to think and I thought these are LOL-worthy.
Before Botox, one is dependent on either susuk or Dorian Gray's (if you're in the West) portraiture in the effort to retain youthfulness.
It's all about the joy juice (and I'm not talking about Kickapoo here, mind).
Weed: making housewives happy had never been so easy.
Don't take it lying down, girl!
When I saw this picture:
I thought of this song:
which was featured in the Quentin Tarantino movie, Death Proof. I love April March's music style; I was surprised that she's actually a contemporary artist and not one from the swinging 60's.
For those ladies who want to warn their man who has a wandering eye (and other body parts) tendency, send him this song.
*grin*
