Welcome to Chaos !!

Spent the afternoon exploring some lakes that are nearby.
Windy but a beautiful day. The snow is melting, I saw the ground in many spots today. But this is Alaska, more snow and colder weather can can be expected before winter is over.
Later I spent the evening eating lots of sugary stuff, camped out on the couch, watching the Grammys.
Very pleased with Adele's wins. Who doesn't sing Adele's songs? I do. At home, in the car.....at work I
sometimes dance to "Set Fire To The Rain". I loooooove that song. Good for Adele.
Now, I am going to read some blogs, wash my face, take Chhaya out and go to sleep.

Each year World Press goes through thousands and thousands of photos and pick one, for photo of the year.
2011 World Press Photo of the Year winner is this image by Samuel Aranda of a yemeni woman cradling what is thought to be a relative.
I think that it is a gripping image. I feel despair and sadness when I look at it. Sense the suffering.



Other photos that made me FEEL were.....

Rhino Poaching. You can see the sadness in the eyes of the two rhinos. When I see stuff like this I hate humans, the biggest destroyers of
everything beautiful on this planet. Poaching is absolutely DISGUSTING. And so is trophy hunting. Animals must despise the human race.
I do at times. Photo by Brett Stirton.



Maria.
"Reportage by Getty Images for Kiev Independent, shows Maria, a drug addict and sex worker, in between clients in a room she rents in Kryvyi Rig, Ukraine. Maria injects drugs on a daily basis and sees many men every week but claims she remains HIV negative. She says she need the money to support herself, her drug habit and her nine-year-old daughter." Photo by Brett Stirton, quite an accomplishment to have two of your photos recognized..
WOW.....What to say, what to say? I feel bad for this woman........And I am also wondering, who in their right mind pays to have sex with her? She looks sick and dirty, it's sad.
I would be scared to be intimate with her, scared for my own health. What a life, how sad.....
I can only hope that somehow, she is ok. And that her daughter will take a different path.



Child brides, too young to wed. Photo by Stephanie Sinclair. Yeah, no shit. TOO YOUNG TO WED.
I read somewhere that these girls are about nine, only nine, so small still.
Should be in school and playing for fun. Their husbands are about 28.
😥



And......Rhinestone Heels On Empty Highway. Photo by Tatiana SuperNova.
Makes you think of an independent spirit.



All photos, except my own.....borrowed from BBC News.

It's Friday night and I decided to stay at home. Didn't really feel the energy to get ready and work until anytime between two and
five in the morning.
Plus I had a headache earlier. So I am staying in. Not doing much of anything. The usual - eating.
Earlier though.....I ran a bunch of errands. Sent out some Valentine's Days cards and gifts to friends. And some salmon to my Mom.
Feeling extremely lazy and doughy. But I am changing that tomorrow, back to the gym.
Two weeks until I leave and I will make good use of that time.
About to read a little now and go to sleep early for a change. Early for me means around 1 AM.
Here is a pic of my freshly painted toes. I know that somebody out there must like them - so this one is for YOU......




PS. I deleted a few comments by accident, meant to approve them.
Somebody left a comment about Die Antwoord and then there was another one. So if you read this, then you know that
I meant to approve your comment.....

This entry is actually blog number 1000!
Thank You all for reading. It's been lots of fun writing.......
If you actually have been bothering with reading all of the blogs, or most of them, you should know by now that there is much more to me
than a fondness for everything KAWAII and pink.
In order to get to know a person, you have to put in time and effort.

Girl maintenance........at least for this girl.
Tatiana waxes her own legs (thighs mostly), saves lots of $. And it can be done nekkid at odd hours, on the couch while watching tv.
As far as pedicures goes. Tatiana loves going to the salon for a GOOD pedi. But she has not been able to find a place here in town, yet.
Last time she went, some lazy, unmotivated girl did a bad number on Tatiana's toes. Since Tatiana can cut her own toenails and has plenty of
polishes to pick from, she can do her own pedis. For free. But she prefers a good pedi at a salon including a long foot rub.....Tatiana likes her
toenails to be square cut and her feet thoroughly massaged. The square cut did not happen tonight. More like weird cut, oh well.
The result? You need to come back to see that. Tatiana can't reveal everything at once....... HELLOOOOOO!!!

A little over a year ago Tatiana noticed a group from South Africa called Die Antwoord. She watched all their videos on YouTube,
quite good and very entertaining. Tatiana likes! WAT KYK JY? Tatiana's new thing to say at work.
Last night they performed on Letterman, Dave looked a little confused and scared, lol.
The girl in the group, Yolandi Vi$$er is freakin' aaaaamazing, Tatiana loves her!
These people say that they have been to many raves. Doesn't surprise Tatiana a bit.
Speaking of raves.....Paris Hilton went to over 100 raves last year.....Tatiana can honetly say that she is very jealous of Paris.
100 raves, Tatiana so wishes it was her that went to those raves. And if you think that Tatiana is joking now, she is NOT.
There is nothing better than a good rave. Tatiana's next one? Electric Daisy Carnical in June. Paris will be there too.

Here is Yolandi. Super cute and super ZEF.
