Eternally Neurotic

Links to while away a rainy Sunday:

Lazy Sunday: A rap on the Chronic-(what!)-cles of Narnia by Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg from Saturday Night Live. Incredibly funny. I've seen it six times and still, it makes me laugh really hard. Lyrics can be found here. This skit, said to be SNL's funniest in five years, was so popular that Slate wrote an article on it.
Star Wars auditions: Another SNL classic. Kevin Spacey plays Christopher Walken as Han Solo and the late Walter Mattau as Obi Wan Kenobi. Darrell Hammond plays Richard Dryfus as C-3PO.
Ali G: Ali G's Harvard Commencement speech (transcript of the complete speech can be found here) and Ali G interviews the F.B.Aiiiii.
Family Guy clips: Health Care Centre (aka why you don't ever want a cornball for a doctor), Peter vs. Michael Moore (an incredibly funny clip of Peter outfarting Michael Moore) and Cookie Monster in Rehab (freakin' kuai lan).
Cute Overload: For the finest in cute imagery (tm). My personal favourites are this, this and this.
The Cute Factor: A New York Times article on the science of cuteness (go to BugMeNot if a log-in is required).

Thanks to my brother for showing me all of these over the last few weeks.

About Me

I'm not-so-little, no-longer-Miss, but still very very random. I tended to blog more when I was younger, and more dissatisfied with life, and more inclined to be more verbose (i.e. before the curse of the 140 character limit damaged my ability to write eloquent prose.).

I'm a city girl (not a City girl). I grew up in a bustling city, and now work and live in London. My favourite places include Buenos Aires, New York City and Cape Town. I simply love cities, although I'm now learning the simple joy of smaller, more relaxing places, ever since I met the man who would become my husband.

I was unemployed for the second time during the first half of 2012. During that time, I chose to spend my break from work, as it were, learning Pilates and yoga and enjoying the little pleasures in life. You can find out more by reading The Accidental Guide to Enjoying Life While Unemployed, a little series I penned during that period.

I used to write Little Miss Random Recommends, a weekly post on what you can get up to in London, which was featured in The Fetch London's Top 10 City Guides, but, alas, working has caught up with me and I'm no longer able to spend as much time on researching this. I do tweet about interesting events from time to time so feel free to follow me.

I'm also trying to take advantage of the abundance of free online educational resources whenever working and enjoying life don't get in the way. More information on these resources can be found in my (most popular!) post.

You'll find more quirky details about me scattered throughout my blog. Some highlights include my plea for 2012, reading list and, if anyone ever needs any ideas, my ideal mood music, which was written over a lifetime ago, so be warned.

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed

Well something’s lost, but something’s gained

In living ev’ry day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It’s life’s illusions I recall

I really don’t know life at all

- "Both Sides Now," Joni Mitchell
