Doing research on Morocco for work and stumbled upon this gem. The goats of the Sous Valley, these goats naturally climb Argan trees in order to forage on the higher limbs. Google it, I’m not making this shit up.
Note to self – must see goat in tree before I die.
More photos after the jump. Continue reading

I knew when I first entered the word llama into google image search it was going to take me somewhere wonderful, but I never anticipated this:
Llama vs. Octopus: The ultimate battle
Llama del Rey, the Nancy Sinatra of the camelid world
Llama Corey Hart wears his sunglasses at night
Then check out this blog with a whole section dedicated to llama awesomeness.

Expecto Patronum then chocolate. Problem solved.
I’ve recently stumbled upon a correlation that is VERY important.
In life, when things go bad and you feel like your soul has been sucked right out of you, you have some chocolate and it makes you feel better.
In Harry Potter after the Dementors come by and do their whole soul-sucking thing, you have some chocolate and it makes you feel better.
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS BEFORE?!?!

I miss you. It hasn’t e
ven been a day and I miss you so damn much. Maybe because I know it’s the first of many days, days that very quickly will become weeks, and then months.
In my life, in 25 years, you are the best one. Now you’re gone and everything just hurts, and I know that it’s not the end because I don’t believe for a second that this could be it, but that doesn’t change this feeling.

I am at the moment, completely and utterly in love with Adele’s new album 21. It’s soulful, moving and heart-breakingly beautiful. That’s a lot of accolades for someone who very rarely mentions music on this blog. Secret’s out though, I’m kind of obsessed, and not just with Adele. (although you really must give the album a listen it will send shivers down your spine).
Music, in the vast majority of its forms and entities keeps me sane. My ipod is an appendage, loosing it would be like loosing my right leg. Loosing my playlist would probably be the death of me. (It happened once several years ago after a pretty epic virus on the ol’ PC –sidenote: I haven’t had to deal with anything even remotely buggy since switching to Mac.)
In other news, (unrelated but sort of related) I stumbled upon a very interesting blog this evening, Make it Mad. I like when people have opinions. Even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything written on the blog I do very much appreciate the conviction, honesty and humour)with which he writes it. As great as the blog was though, my favourite thing was Max’s short story “The Boy with His Heart on His Sleeve and the Girl Who Never Tried to Fix Him“. It’s moving, heart-breakingly beautiful and might even send shivers down your spine. Read it, while listening to 21.

I think it’s safe to say I have an unhealthy obsessive relationship with my dog. He brings me a certain joy I can’t even begin to describe. He has more personality in his 35 lb body than a fair chunk of people I know. He’s always happy to see me. When I’m sad, he cuddles up next to me and makes it impossible for me to remain angry about anything. He loves me, unconditionally, like only a dog can. On top of all of this, he’s a quirky little guy, who makes me laugh at least once a day, often times more.
Recently (this past Sunday) I got a new bed, a much higher bed. My dog sleeps in bed with me, but now he can no longer jump onto the bed, as it is far too high, so I’ve decided to be strong and try to wean him off. Day 1 went fairly well, aside from some wimpers at bed time, there was very little resistance from him. (I was a little offended). However this morning I was awoken at 4am to him wimpering like he’d just lost a limb and looking up at me with the saddest eyes from the pity blanket I placed for him at the foot of my bed.
Is it wrong that I find joy in his sadness? He needs me, and I, well I need to seek treatment.

Still one of my favorite coming of age in the 21st century tales, I just watched the 2008 film adaptation of Angus, thongs and full-frontal sn
ogging, and I’m not going to lie, I kinda loved it.
Light-hearted as it may be, it still pretty much hits the nail on the head of what every girl is thinking when she meets and falls for a cute new sex-god (and no, not just every 14 year old girl, but every girl-don’t try and play it like its not true ladies). And, as a added bonus the book is hilarity central (more so than the movie, however the movie did have some redeemable moments–including an excellent pick for Georgia Nicolson).
Yeah, so maybe I’m two years too late on this post, but I just watched it and it warmed my heart. So yeah, deal.

so for the past week I’ve been working my way through every single comic on this site. Four years of near-daily posts = lots of comics.

No better way to cap off the night than to find out that there’s a new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer. I can’t even begin to describe my excitement, it’s borderline (read: full on) 12 year old at a Justin Bieber meet and greet. And here I was thinking I’d never have the opportunity to say anything positive when mentioning Justin Bieber. I stand corrected.
Click HERE to watch the new trailer.
