Loopita Bonita lounge chair

Well, the summer has arrived. Yesterday I went out at night wearing shorts and flip-flops on the bike.

The whole city is undressing and the sweet humming of the air conditioner is back on.

Exactly the time to look for some cool garden furniture or, more likely, look for a friend with a garden and cool furniture.

There is no end to “lounge” furniture and stuff. It’s always so much fun and you really can never go wrong. Put a chair in the sun and serve me some cocktails and you’ve got one happy camper.

But this Loopita Bonita lounge chair really takes relaxing to the edge.

First, its name, Loopita Bonita, already makes you want to sit on it.

Second, even when you’re alone it can excuse you from changing your angle according to the sun’s position. Just switch sides.

The chair, designed by Victor M. Aleman, is a beautiful addition to any garden. It’s comfy, great to read, talk, sleep or whatever.

Warning: use it with attractive people only.

So if you have it, call me.

You know what, it’s summer

Call me anyways

The Weekly Joe – The Awesomer

I previously presented myself as an up-beat slang authority. Off course slang is evolving everyday and as hard as I try to keep up with it, I find myself struck and dazzled each time I spend 5 minutes with my younger brother and his friends. I can understand their language but their intentions escape me.

Up until 2 years ago I have never used the word ‘awesome’. I'm not an American but I quickly learned ‘awesome’ comprises about 25% of the American language (the rest 75% is ‘Omygod’).

For you non-Americans, ‘awesome’ basically means: cool, great, lovely, yes, off-course, I love you, I can’t believe what I’m seeing and everything else we consider to be good.

The Awesomer is a website dedicated exactly for those things. There is no one guideline and the only thing in common with all the posts is that they are all… well, awesome.

It posts daily and sourced from all over the web to bring the coolest stuff out there.

Enjoy and have an excellent week

Flight nightmare

Promo:

This is not a horror story about a flight where everything went wrong. It is about a regular guy in the 21^st century who took a regular flight. Sounds normal? Well it’s not!

Pre flight

Like any common man I arrived at the airport about 2.5 hours before my boarding time so I can check in easily and have some time at the duty free shops where I’ll buy a huge amount of shaving blades.

When I got to the check-in counter, already I saw the flight is packed and I’m the last in line.

Three babies crying their hearts out with an impatient mother that yells at them and a “just shoot me now” look on the ground crew’s faces.

Security

Walking half nude in my socks and get a four hand massage is always awesome.

Duty free

I can’t remember much. After the first perfume sample was sprayed into my eyes it’s all blurry. I think I got shaving blades… or was it nail polish…?

What does the weatherman know?

Morning, I just woke up, not sure if I am dreaming still. Was I dreaming? Something with a jet-ski maybe? It’s gone.

O.k. now I’m up, it is time to start the day.

Right now, in the dark, closed room my mood is completely neutral. I am a bit sad I have to wake up but it’s irrelevant for this feeling follows me around wherever I go. My senses are back and the conscious is beginning to gain control back from the unconscious. 

So here I am, standing in the dark, rubbing my eyes and stretching my arms. Nothing goes through my mind while I prepare for one of the day’s most important events; opening the window.

 The first look outside will determine my initial mood for the day. If it’s a sunny day and I can leave my jacket at home then I'm stoked. But if it’s raining or about to rain my mood drops like a prom queen with herpes.
