popChomsky: March 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wow, to say we had an amazing trip would be a huge understatement! All those tacos, tortas, churros, moles, tequilas and margharitas in Mexico City. the amazing murals of Diego Rivera which totally blew our minds. the markets. the mayhem.the total HUGENESS which is El DF. And that was only two days! After 2 hours spent simply trying to navigate the exit ramps out of Havana we hit the autopista.or rather, it hit us. An old Soviet project it was a 6 laned mega highway (though much potholed) which w...Ahhh ...

popChomsky: February 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Is it any wonder i got the 'little miss scatterbrain' book as a wee one! So scatterbrained i even forgot i had this blog! I went to sign in and there it was. 'that name is already taken'. what? Someone else is a popchomsky? So, what indeed have i been up to in the last couple of years? Well creating another child for one. they take a bit of effort;-) so now there are two. my two beautiful boys. the loves of my life (along with the big boy of course;-). Links to this post.

popChomsky: sweating the small stuff!
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010/08/sweating-small-stuff.html
Sweating the small stuff! Didn't someone write a book titled something like 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff'? Yeah, I know.if I was truly interested I would google it. alas I am not. this is because I am LOATHING the small stuff at present. All the washing to be done in a day! This is not to mention all the little strays we seem to have at present- so many sad, lonely little socks widowed of their life partners. Why o why are you so hard to spot? How is it one stray piece can prevent an entire creation?

popChomsky: April 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Easter show and adrenaline junkies. We went to the Royal Easter Show today. it was my first time going as an adult. it was my first time at the new location at Olympic Park. it didn't really feel the same. i'm not sure whether this was because of the time lapse or the location. my gut feeling is that it's location- i reckon i can still harness much of the raw energy and exuberance of childhood! That old world- old skool feel just wasn't there at the new, somewhat sterile locale. Links to this post.

popChomsky: July 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Boys and their toys. Time to look back on the school holidays- which in hindsight flew by. we busied ourselves with museum visits, yum cha, parks, blockbusters (btw is there anything cuter than 3D glasses on kids! In short, he created a vehicle which can only be described as 'fully sick mate'. dear god, what does my future hold! See below for one version- albeit a fairly minimalist, restrained design ;-). Now, school is back and I am not happy about the return of the insane morning rush! I just can't fig...

popChomsky: September 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Vietnam dreaming. {again}. Less than 2 months til we go. images of viet nam never far from my mind. a couple of oldies here which made it through the devastating theft:. Left: village men rebuilding a traditional communal house in the central highlands. the tallest bamboo is sought and used whilst still green to allow flexibility for creating the steeply pitched roof. I used to see this lovely bird-keeper every day on my stroll to work. he was always so attentive to his trusting feathered friends. When b...

popChomsky: June 2010
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
There's a hole in my heart that goes all the way to china. Well, not to China actually but Viet Nam. And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down. As I have sat darning darling little hearts onto vintage denim overalls Cyndi's lyrics and Ông's accusatory words have been washing over me. Ông is Noah's Vietnamese grandfather. How many times have I cried for my son separated from his family and his culture? How many times have I cried that his first fragile years were so tumultuous?

popChomsky: multi-tasking = multi-failing?
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010/09/multi-tasking-multi-failing.html
As women (and especially as mothers) we all do it. I am a huge multi-tasker. focusing on one thing at once just seems to be such a waste of time and a massive loss of opportunity. or is it? Having encountered several multi-tasking breakdowns lately, it has caused me to pause and reconsider the worthiness of such endeavours. Earlier in the week i encountered multi-tasking failure when i attempted to sew a button back onto a dress whilst wearing said dress. big FAT FAIL! And today, the multi-tasking demon ...

popChomsky: angry little appliances :-Z
http://popchomsky.blogspot.com/2010/09/angry-little-appliances-z.html
Angry little appliances :-Z. When buying our latest fridge around a year or so ago, i remember thinking to myself: 'what a good feature to have an alarm to alert you the door has not sealed- so terribly frustrating! Nothing seems to incite stress more efficiently or effectively. Do NOT even get me started on car alarms, smoke alarms, computer alerts and the like. does everyone in modern life subject themselves to these angry little appliances? Are you being heckled by the electronics in your life too?
