If you want new music, I suggest heading over to DJ Z-Trip’s download page. If you can only get one thing, go for the Uneasy Listening tracks — they are so brilliant, I could use a whole string of expletives to describe them. I used to listen to Volume One when I worked at Telecom, & since it went for an hour, it made me feel like the day was going faster. Plus, it’s amazing. So don’t say anything, just go & download it! Okay?!
More great music: A plus D do amazing mash-ups, as do DJ Earworm & DJ Magnet! Get on it!

Amazing list! I don’t know how you find all these wonderful things! I’ll definitely be reading Karen Knowler’s article. The Dear God site sounds cool! I love photobooths! I adore the magical mystery tour photoshoot. Keri Smith’s wish jar blog looks amazing! And I’m definitely going to buy some of Collette Dinnigan’s lingerie!
Wow, interesting that the Dear God site has come up. Lately I have been talking to ‘The Universe’. I’m not religious at all…but I like talking to the universe, I suppose I’m agnostic =)
Z-trip is brilliant! I managed to see him live last year (with the Jungle Brothers!) and he just blew my mind. I love Uneasy listening, listened to it heaps before seeing him :)
the underwear looks great huh? i love target anyway but i will be going there for some of that leopard print stuff… hehe.. and feeling cheeky wearing it knowing my umbrella matches my underwear! ooh! :)
Sarah — I just save the addresses of the best things I find over the week! I do a lot of browsing & read quite a few LJ communities as well as blogs, so it all adds up ;> & it’s nice to be able to pass on things I find interesting!
Bri — So jealous, Z-Trip + Jungle Brothers must have been amazing!
I just spent easily a half hour reading peoples prayers and messages on the ‘Dear God’ site.
I am not a Christian, or affiliated with any other religion…but the idea romances me a little at times.
The idea of having someone to talk to, whenever and wherever, is somewhat comforting.
On a lighter note, there is a Target only 10 minutes from my house =D I buy all my colourful underwear there. I might surprise my boyfriend when he comes home from holidays next week with something new now!
OH Dj Z-Trip. Cute. As an ex- band merch seller extraordinaire, he was one of my favourite artists to sell merch for! SUCH A NICE GUY! So that is another reason to download his toooons and support him! Yay!
still working on reading some of those links, but i want to comment on the “everything a man should know/want, etc”... lol!
i have to say, i agree with everything she said. unfortunately, i must admit i am a man who owns no bullet… everything else, check! lol
here i thought i could find good stuff on the net. you put me to shame often… :P
The Wish Jar site is just fantastic, thanks for directing me to it.
with the vibrator owning. what. i can’t imagine any girl wanting to use a vibrator that a guy owned! he’s probably used it on other girls and thats just not cool!
I saw I’m Going To Fashion Week!, it was good, Hanna fell but who wouldn’t with those shoes.:O
the virbrator article is really interesting. i’m of the opinion that every girl would like it, and i really agreed with wendy’s point of view. but it is actually and unfortunately sort of a taboo between my boyfriend and me, although we are actually very open minded. i think he would feel personally very insulted when i would come forward with such an idea.
I’m glad that you liked that excellent guest post by John. Thanks for the mention! =)
I’m a long time Icing fan and I’m actually from Denmark and wanted to say I loved the link to “6 Reasons to Visit the World’s Happiest Country”. I definitely recommend coming for a visit!!
Hey Gala, thanks so much for the link to my ‘What every guy should own/know/hear’ post!
I really appreciated it.
And Kitten, thats why you put a condom on the vibrator before you use it. This way, its sanitary, even if you use it with several different people. :) Yay condoms!
I love Keri Smith!! I’m glad you put up her blog, I didn’t know about it… but I really would like The Wreck this Journal, and Living Out Loud.
Another great week, Gala :)
And I just realized that the 100 Ideas article is something I bookmarked a while ago, thanks to Stumble Upon. It made me write my own list, since I was having a bad day and needed to remind myself there was something to cheer me up! It also just so happens that your article, 50 Ways to Rescue the worst Day Ever was another article I stumbled upon around that time, which introduced me to iCiNG. So YAY for stumble upon, keri smith, and you!!
xoxo
The dear God site was interesting, and I looove the 6 reasons to visit Denmark! Is it ok if I add www.youtube.com/watch?v=Viu7U8… , it just seemed interesting and wanted to share :) Sorry if you’ve already posted it up
I dunno about that “things every man should own” list. I mean, I agree with most of it, but I’m less sure about the vibrator thing. I have nothing against vibrators—-hell, my girlfriend owns several that routinely make an appearance in our sex life—-but I’m not sure that the average woman is going to be too pleased about a guy pulling out a vibrator that has probably been used on other women.
The solution to this problem: my girlfriend leaves one of her vibes at my place so that it’s there when we need it. But, if we break up and she leaves it behind, I’m certainly not going to use it with another woman…that just strikes me as a little bit weird.
Oh, and, I realize that using a condom on the vibrator would make it sanitary and therefore OK to use with multiple partners. But, despite that, I think there is still a psychological barrier that would keep a lot of women (or men) from wanting to be pleasured by a sex toy that has already been used on/with someone else in the past.
Adam – that is a great solution if one has a mono-SO or primary partner. I used to do that when I was with one partner.
However, now I’m seeing several people, (who also see several people, and so on) and for me to a) buy toys that I leave just at their place and b) buy toys that are used for just one person at my place, is illogical and expensive. I tend to do my best to take my toys with me, but like I said in my post, you never know when you might fall into bed with a friend, and for me, not having a vibrator around generally means sex with out an orgasm or three. If a guy it thoughtful enough to have an vibrator and some extra condoms around, I’m pretty damn impressed.
I’ve personally had no issues using a toy that has been shared (this goes for mechanical as well as human toys) as long as precautions are taken. The same goes for most of my partners, who generally all have a ‘no condom/no use’ policy for just about everything anyway. I have a friend with a whole sex-toy box that gets used during dates at at parties. We all just use condoms.
It may not be for everyone, but it works.
Wendy Blackheart — I’m inclined to agree with you that if a guy pulled out a (clean, protected) toy, I’d be pretty impressed. It’s something I’m yet to experience. I think it would say good things about him. Though whether I’d be into it or not would depend on him, really — my perceptions of how easy & clean he were would play a pretty big part. If he seemed like a real “ladies’ man” & had dirty plates on his bench, for example, I think I’d say “Thanks but no thanks”!
hey gala! i love the idea of eating raw, or at least half of my meals raw, but i have some questions…
can i eat meat raw?
&
what are the sort of raw meals that you eat every day? i’m at a loss as to what sort of food to eat if i decided to go raw
thanks, i hope that’s not asking too much..
