As you can tell from my last post, things have been pretty heavy around here lately. I don't know about you, but I am in serious need of something to make me giggle! As I have been going through the multi-step process of recovering the files, pictures, and music from my now long-gone laptop I came upon a bunch of random pictures from the last month that made me smile, and I thought they might give you a chuckle too...
Chris bought a new fan at the store and this is how he carried it home on his motorcycle. Ah, the ingenuity that is born out of life without a car!
Roti Boy...a fine Indonesian establishment. 'Roti' means bread and, as you can tell by the sign, the Roti Boy is all about buns, sweet, warm, crunchy donut-type goodies that are really quite good. I'm not sure if the Indonesians quite understand the double entendre in their "buns to die for" slogan, but it always makes me smile.
Chris, ever the fashion-forward chap decided he had to join a couple of our fashionista friends in sporting what he very NON-affectionately refers to as the "belly belt". Chris has been quite vocal about his confusion and dislike of this trend (he is also outspoken in his horror of skinny jeans and leggings, and the dreaded combo, jeggings), but after his frequent protests went unneeded he figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Let me add that he didn't just wear his "belly belt" for a few minutes, oh no, he sported it for the entire morning. That's commitment.
Okay, it's very possible that I am way out of what is going on with jewelry styles in the States, because, well, I haven't been living there in awhile, so two finger rings might be all the rage, but I don't know...I found this one rather binding and well, just sort of weird. What do you think? Hmm...
Yeah, yeah, I know it's a little strange to post a picture of a bra on here, but relax people, you've all seen one before. I was just confused and frankly a bit grossed out by this tag...wait a minute are they actually using perspiration as an advertising tool and trying to make me believe the presence of it will somehow improve the softness of my skin? Hi, uncomfortable and ew. Plus they used the word "moist". Nobody likes that word, yuck.
A martini, a fruity girly drink, oh no my friends, it's so much more, a mocktail! A staple of most upscale Indonesian restaurants, the mocktail is oh-so-silly, but I couldn't resist!
This cat is having a very bad day! The dog, Sadie, that we were watching a couple weeks ago went barreling out the door one morning and chased one of the ever-present neighborhood feral cats into a tree in our yard. Sadie was just thrilled about the whole situation, I was meanly amused because I have an ongoing grudge towards all cats in this culture due to their incessant urination and copulation in our ceiling, and the cat, well, she would have killed us both if she could. I wondered how she would get down, but after a couple hours I checked and she was gone, and no dead cat below the tree, so she must have made it out okay. Haven't seen her since. Ha.
I think this picture is cute, so I put it in, even though it's not funny. Chris and I had lunch at this little place in Balikpapan during the week of family conference and the owner took our picture after we ate. The place is a bakery and restaurant that is decorated like a European cafe-very cute! The ambiance was great and the food was good too.
I hope these pictures gave you a couple laughs (Chris rocking the belly belt, come on, it doesn't get much better than that). Keep enjoying your summer!
P.S. I'm trying out a brand new program to compose my blog posts, so if things are a little weird in this post that's the reason. I mean that's the reason for weird technical stuff, the weird writing is just you know, me.
