Food for Thought II


tumblr_lfmm0

Randomness fills my life. Food for thought. Part deux. My 37 cents. Actually counted my money and literally have 37 cents in my pocket right now. Can’t help but wonder where all my money went?!

On that matter, how come I find myself digging for spare change just to pay the grocer… or lets be honest, the pizza delivery guy. Time and time again.

In Belgium we have this thing called a SIS-card. Something to do with your medical history and a reference for getting drugs at the pharmacy. Sometimes also works as a ‘student card’ for purchasing certain tickets, … while abroad. Think about it. Try it if you reckon you still look young enough. Student fares are nice and in case they ask just say you’re studying ‘sciences’.

“Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.” 1994 called, they want their disclaimer back. We all know how mail signatures come in all shapes and size. Signatures that are an image are a no go though. You have nice and and you have useful. Using an image is not useful, definitely not very mobile.

Porn gives young people an unrealistic and unhealthy idea of how quickly a plumber will come to your house. 

Random Acts of Kindness? The people at Lego got how that works.

How come Twitter always suggests me “people to follow/similar to” whom I deliberately don’t want to follow?

Some people actually can lick their elbow. Acrobats!

Probably stated the obvious here so just move along.

SBTRKT – Trials of the Past


Stunning new music video for SBTRKT’s ‘Trials of the Past’.

Not buying it


 

Started off the year with a couple of resolutions. Usually don’t set any goals but something to aim for can’t do any harm and for now they stand. One goal we did not mention is buying less and with buying less we really mean not buying the unnecessary stuff we often do.

Reckon we have a closet here with enough clothes to keep me warm/dressed the next 12 month so no need to get any extra cotton. Deleted all the bookmarks to preferred online buying channels and considering the removal of certain accounts which can only tempt me.

When it comes to food necessities we are seriously going to try and change some grocery habits. Been trying to keep the cupboards and fridge stocked with essentials only. Also starting to think more before buying as its such a shame to have to get rid of unnecessary groceries. Shopping on a more or less day to day basis seems to work, especially since we have a wide range of shops in our direct vicinity. Also planning on looking at what special offers are run or needs to be sold by the same day. Might save us some $$$ and food going to waste while at it.

Besides that we’ve also been trying to get rid of stuff. Things we haven’t touched in ages. Things we can’t use anymore. Someone else might have better use for it so why not get it our the door.

The only item I might consider buying is this R2D2 model but for now I’m not buying it!


Wall Dogs of New York


Climbers’ ropes secured around their torsos, Jason Coatney and Armando Balmaceda stand in a melange of open paint cans and brushes. These two muralists of Colossal Media, the largest hand-painted advertising company in America, are heavily layered in sweatshirts and raincoats. But in this industry, c’est la vie. Paintbrushes in their fingerless-gloved hands, earbuds in their ears — “I like to start out with Miles Davis in the morning,” Coatney smiles, his breath visible in the frigid air — they begin yet another workday in the sky.

A love affair with colours


737586_508913709153665_1470907741_o

 

This is sick. Its a collaboration between Brussels based artist Oli-B and RoseStudio which we have been meaning to share.

“Olga is a charming companion. 

You can hang it inside in every place. Its wooden structure is self-supporting. Coming from the fantasy of Oli-B and its colourful world, Olga is cheerful even eccentric. Not afraid about of colours, Olga shines in a glossy style. Olga is able to keep secrets. Look for the hidden parts… Create your own fantasy world with Olga.”

A love affair with colours is Oli-B’s expo at RoseStudio. It has reached its final week so if you want to have a look head over there this weekend. Find more info on “Olga” at RoseStudio or www.oli-b.be

Its limited to 50 copies and we can only dream :)
