My great life! Lol! OMFG!
Yeah, so like one day I was like – oh my god – my life is so cool I don’t have time to blog at all. It’s like party here, foreign travel, international diplomatic incidents there. And I’m like, really,

Kellogg’s ‘Adopt a monkey’ scam
This is Blur, a monkey I thought I’d saved from a life of poverty and strive in Malawi through the adopt-a-monkey promotion run by everyone’s favourite cereal manufacturer, Kellogg’s. But it wasn’t to be. The joy of adopting little Blur
