Amazon Recommendations.. hmm ..

Right.. everybody are well aware how recommendation system works. It just surprised me a bit when my todays recommendations included the below..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t remember buying any Star Wars literature or accessories ever in my entire life. How amazon comes to those conclusions? Is it not too much of generalization to recommend Star Wars to someone who demonstrates interest in to post-apocalyptic literature and zombies? Do all other people who have similar interest also likes Star Wars?

Or was it because I also buy marketing and psychology books?

And here comes the best bit of recommendations:

 

 

I might get this one

If Apple would sell water..

.. I would probably buy some.

Apparently, when it comes to bottled water it is a little bit of an aesthetic choice average consumer is making, not much minding the quality of water or information on the label..  and Apple is a master of product design!

 

Other bottled water I would possibly go for because of package design, that is much more sophisticated then possible Apple packaging:

Meanwhile,  I prefer tap water with a bit of fresh lemon, instead of paying for bottled water and then thinking of green way to get rid of empty bottles..

What’s your favorite?

 

 

 

 

Reality vs Perception

It just crossed my mind in right moment so I can’t help but share this!

If you would google pictures for key words “SS Women” you would see a perfect example of biggest gap between reality and perception.

I am impressed.

Revamp Hangover Remedy, sorry but it doesn’t work

This morning I woke up feeling dead again and willing to wash my liver and all inner organs under the shower. So finally tried this largely advertised hangover remedy, that I got @ Toys4BigBoys last week.

Let away they have mixed powerful things together, including rosemary. Rosemary mixed with green tea is the best thing to drink next morning after big party.

And I have also discovered approximately 2 hours length yoga fusion sequence that can make your life brighter by twisting and squeezing inner organs so the toxins are quicker to leave the body.

However, Revamp made me even more dizzy!…  and the taste is really bad.

But I like their website, and 4 eyed dog.

Applications ..Chronories

Are any of you using this app? Let me ask you how you feel about it…

Let alone my dear little mac would duplicate all items that are already on my HDD (adorable thingy with duplicates, Mr. Jobs), but also, I would not even sell, but give free of charge all my personal data to market research factory packed and tagged, and with nice golden ribbon on it..

Thanks, but no, thanks.

Skinny Water

Sometimes some people are simply crossing the line.

Ladies and gentlemen,  let me show you Everest of fooling people:

Tax Office || Warning! Rant ahead

Let away it is extremely miserable outside the window and I don’t even want to think of going home, I also have to deal with idiots you wouldn’t even belief. As I have been told in the kitchen earlier – Ireland Tax Office workers are unhappy little people and they want to spread that feeling to their customer. Let me tell you more..

I was looking to get my taxes back for last years tuition fee, so I have filled the application form, attached two invoices from college and sent to tax office by post. Easy. Two weeks later I have got my form back with the stamp on PPS number asking to submit my PPS number. I rang them to ask what do they mean, and I have been told that this is exactly what they meant.

Ok, well, dear clerks, if one of you wouldn’t had enough brains to put a stamp on that very PPS number of mine, you wouldn’t have any problem reading it! However, I wasn’t allowed to submit PPS number via phone.

“All has to go by post, Miss!”

Printed, filled and posted the same form once again. Two weeks later I have received an email (Tax Office likes different forms of communication, as you can see) that I have to submit invoices (yes, the same invoices submitted earlier). I rang again asking if they could search their drawers, records, etc, as I have been told earlier, that invoices are received and I just have to resend the form itself.

Extremely rude woman wasn’t in a mood for searching her drawers so I had to pay a fiver to get new invoices issued and now I will be sending those again with HOPE that this tiny little bureaucratic bee hive will manage to put everything in to places.

You Have Survived The Week! Congratulations!

No Really! Well Done! This week was really hard.. well at least for me.

Lectures started on Monday,  I have to start my thesis and I am getting really tired with intense work, evening classes, lack of sleep, lack of yoga, not having time to do my nails, smoking more (I always do when I am tired) etc. But it’s all good, I have less than a week left till my holidays!

I really wanted to wright a post about Dublin Culture Night that was a key event of last weekend, but I am so busy lately, that I didn’t really had a chance, and lets leave it behind. This weekend, or should I say this all October, is full of interesting stuff in Dublin!

Tonight I am off for dinner + drinks with my work crowd to Bull & Castle and I really hope their Galway Bay Mussels will be delicious! But if you are not with me, you should go to check Dublin Festival of Fashion , it’s more of a day time festival, but I am sure they will have after parties.  The only think I am curios – how many knackers will there be in knackerish ILAC shoping center on the catwalk ?

No matter where the city will take you tonight, you MUST end up at After-Life Festival @ The Vaults. Check the line-up! Amazing! Well.. I am really looking forward to get couple of colleagues to this party around midnight.

Saturday we probably gonna go to The Music Show in RDS, because lovely Paul gave Kes two tickets for this event. Thanks a lot!  I have checked line-up and I really looking forward to go there.   In the evening there is that Official Off Set Party @ Twisted Pepper I am not sure what is it about and will not bother to google for it, because I am looking forward to visit Octoberfest what is starting today almost on my doorstep.. well ok ok .. 10 minutes away from that very doorstep?

Sunday? The Point Market , cooking something super nice for dinner and studying..

BTW, I will recommend you couple of movies for the weekend.

Yesh Yesh Yesh! Robert Rodriguez You are so awesome! And Robert De Niro and beautiful Jessica Alba. Lindsay Lohan? enjoyed her in this movie too! And my dearest enjoyed Steven Seagal (I didn’t, I hate him).

Very entertaining, very good!

Next one is for more serious audience, m’kay?
My dad brought me DVD of Master and Margarita. Yes, that famous Mikhail Bulgakov’s masterpiece’s TV Series and I absolutely adore it. You can watch it on youtube with English subtitles.

But I would recommend you – learn Russian and read the book in Russian

Now .. I am off to do some work. Enjoy weekend, folks!

You look so dreamy

I have that fridge magnet on my oven that says - Home is where your cat is. I don’t have any cat’s and sometimes I am loosing concept of home. Probably I wouldn’t even notice this kitty thingy.. but I happened to be showing it to my mum few days ago..

You’ll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it’s gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It’s like you feel homesick for a place that doesn’t even exist. Maybe it’s like this rite of passage, you know. You won’t ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it’s like a cycle or something. I don’t know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that’s all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

[Garden State]

So I had an opportunity to sit at Dublin Airport’s Starbucks yesterday, watch sunrise, drink vanilla latte and feel so damn homesick again after I waved good bye to my parents and left them queuing at the security gates.

The thing with the homesickness I hate the most is that it is not the place you are missing it is something that felt so good back then, but now is gone and will never be back.

Now take my emotion and bring it to market…

IKEA made it just right…

And here is the full song from commercial:

And I keep listening it all day while all alone in the office struggling to do some work..
