Is it bad when I read this blog, and I think, "I could eat that."

Proof That Anything Can Be Deep Fried: "

What’s better than bacon? Deep fried bacon, that’s what! But why would someone deep fry bacon? Why not. Here’s a whole bunch of other foods people deep fried that you’d think wouldn’t ever be deep fried.

Next thing I’m frying is these guys.

A Sustainable Move: Karmaboxx.com

After living at our current residence for more than 3 years, we unhappily were forced to move when our landlord sold the apartment.

You know how the story goes. We scavenge for cardboard boxes to avoid paying for pricey moving boxes by stalking the supermarket aisle when night-filler are there, then when the whole move is over, you're stuck with cardboard boxes and spend the next month recycling them in batches.

So when I saw Karmaboxx.com featured on Apartment Therapy, I quickly logged on to find one in my area (no luck. They're based in Seattle.), but I believe it's a venture worthwhile.

Instead of moving with traditional cardboard boxes, Karmaboxx will rent you recycled plastic boxes at a fixed rate. They'll drop it off at your old home, and pick it up at your new home when you're done unpacking. No more scavenging, storing and recycling cardboard boxes. You can even rent a moving trolley.

I know I said I moved to Wordpress, but I have moved yet again.

Don't worry, I have gotten myself a domain name, so even if I move, it won't.

www.joankhoo.com <-- Remember it!

I'll see you there.

I've moved to WordPress!

Hi all,

This would be my last post on blogger, on rantingsofjoan.blogspot.com anyway. I've finally made the move to WordPress.

The new link is http://rantingsofjoan.wordpress.com, similar to the old one, just replace "Blogger" with "WordPress".

The move is a little bittersweet, I've begun videoblogging and blogging on this domain and now it will be dormant. All old posts have been moved to the new domain, although there may still be some broken links to old videos.

Hope to see you at the new blog!

Love, Joan

Bad Day

Last Friday was the craziest day. Between the hours of 8 to 9 am, I managed to be late to a dentist appointment and have a minor car accident. To top it off, seconds after I had a collision, the dentist called me to say I was late. By then it was quite obvious I won't be making the appointment, so I cancelled.

I parked the car and got out to talk to the couple in the other vehicle. The first thing they said when we met was "You drink?" I was taken aback. It was 8:30 in the morning. "No" I answered, giving her a look of disbelief.

To add to the craziness, the couple was not fluent in English, so with some difficulty and much patience, we managed to come to an amicable decision and exchanged insurance details.

At least I didn't miss the coffee van when I got to work. I don't think I could deal with another set back.

Name This Cat! (if you can find him)

This lovely ginger and white cat is our new foster kitty. His interim name is Cranky Pants but it's a misnomer, he's really really shy and loves being petted. We've been throwing around a few names such as Persimmon (because of his orange and we can call him Percy), Harry (as in Houdini because he's so good at hiding) and Ging-Ah (as in Ging-Er). Any other suggestions?

Office Prank - Labelling

Derek was away on business and left his office defenseless. Inspired by a prank from www.alltooflat.com, we labelled everything, just in case he forgot what they were.
