Super Sunday: Funnies

This week we have funnies, because there's nothing like having a good laugh.

Super Sunday

Yes, I think that can also be 'the length an author waits on submission news.' : )


And as usual, there are the deep philosophical issues I deal with each week... aka the funnies.

Have a great week!

You said it, Albie!


And now for the funnies, which this week made me laugh. They are so relevant right now. :)

Have a great week.

Super Sunday

It's Sunday. It's the 22nd. And those on Facebook will know it's my birthday. Yep a time to think about the year gone and what I want to achieve in the year to come. Mostly, I just look forward to the cake. *LOL*

I'm not one for making a big deal for my birthday. It's not a major one - yet. That's very soon.


I was born on a Sunday, many many moons ago. So I had to give a little acknowledgment in this Super Sunday before moving on.

I saw this on Facebook this week and loved it. No, it's never too late. But I'm thinking of the aches and pains she'll have after she gets off. LOL. But what I loved about this is that it really tells you to live in the moment, to enjoy each moment of each day, and no matter how old you are, to try new things. So I thought it appropriate today as a reminder to do this.

Replace Ass with Arse, because when I see Ass, I think of a donkey. 

Evolution of the hero

I can't remember where I saw this last one, totally love it (yes, I do love the paranormal aspect).


Also it's Earth Day today, so let's think about how to make things better for the Earth that looks after us.

Have a great week.

Now for a bit of fun....

I stumbled across some artwork of movie stars as super heroes. So many cool ones, I thought it best to link to it.

These all gave me a giggle. Hope they give you one as well.

Have a great week!

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
~ Ernest Hemingway

I hear you Ernest.

I've always been amazed with ventriloquists and how they can talk let alone sing with the limited movement of their mouths. Here is one such talent...

I've been visiting Facebook more often and have come across some funny sayings in my journeys. Here is just a sample.

Hope you had a good laugh.

Happy Halloween!!

Ooooooooo.....grrrrr........argggggg........it's the Halloween blog post. Are you quivering in your shoes?  What do you mean the picture doesn't instill fear? It's cute, you say. Well, I never. It's a ghosts. Ghosts are scary. Yes Casper was cute. All right, this ghost is cute.

Do you want something scary?

Get ready for some monster action.


Here it comes.....

arggggg......

What? Still not scary? But I count six monsters. Boy, you are a tough crowd.

Okay another one....

How about a puppy being eaten alive? Scary, right.

Shaking yet?

Not scary? I really am scratching my head here. I mean the puppy is being eaten by a pumpkin. It's horrible.

It's cute? You guys sure have a weird sense of horror.

What?

That's scary? You think?

Hmmm....I suppose you're right *very big grin*


Now that I have your attention, I'll like to direct you over to the Dark Side DownUnder blog for the Halloween Birthday Bash. There's prizes to be won. Just leave a comment.

Have a wickedly fun Halloween!!!

~yia~

I've also been coming across some very funny pics in Facebook. So will share with you out on the blogosphere.

Go ahead, make my day..... (you know I couldn't resist. It was there, I had to walk on through *grin*)

Hope you got a little bit of a smile.

Greeks - we love to dance

There's a saying we have at Greek weddings and dances - that the dance floor is never enough. It looks like a street is not enough in this case.

This the Greek Ottawa community promoting the Greek Festival. Did the music get you wanting to dance?

Opa!

A quote from my childhood's favourite author:

"Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people."                                                  ~Roald Dahl

And another one of my childhood icons, Batgirl.

Inspiration...

I've decided that I will try this once a week if possible. Sometimes it isn't.

What, I hear you ask?

Well, just go somewhere to write, read, think, be inspired.  I tend to rush to get things done - appointments, errands, chores - everything seems to be on fast forward. Well for me anyway - others may not find it very fast.

MacBook in use, Iced Chocolate
fueling the brain cells

So last week after I met my friend Lisa who was visiting from OS, and before meeting my friend, Alison for our Christmas catch up, I had an hour or so to myself and sat in a coffee shop where I had lunch, read and wrote on my purdy MacBook. It was a very inspiring day, and helped me feel refreshed with my writing.

So this week, I did it again. I sat on a bench on the beach front and worked out my deadlines for my goals, and then read. There was a lovely breeze and I was going to type but it was too bright for the screen and uncomfortable on the bench, so I moved to a cafe.

I'm not sure I can do this next week, as I've got one of those weeks again.

Still it seems that recharging the brain cells by being somewhere else seems to give me some 'me' time and not rush. I'll keep you posted with how I go. Now here are some photos taken by my trusty phone.

Other things....

Check out the slideshow I have put up of 2011 releases by DarkSiders on the Dark Side DownUnder blog. We will back from hiatus next week, so come along and hang out with us.

I've come across a website called Explain This Image and while I don't find everything funny or weird on there, nor really read the comments, there are some gems in my opinion. Most of them are 'What the-' or type photos. Can you hear Pauline Hanson saying 'Please Explain'.
