Stingers In, Cameras Out!
When astronomers and astrologers alike are atwitter over a lunar event, you know there’s something big happening. Hold on to your hats, folks, and make sure there are batteries in your camera, because tonight we have not just any Full Moon but a “supermoon” in the supercharged sign of Scorpio. Actually, you might want to think about securing more than your hats because tonight some serious shit is going down. Continue Reading

Amazing, hypnotic and deliciously random, “Stupidity captured at 2500 frames per second” is a video montage of two guys named Dumt & Farlight, from TV2 Zulu in Denmark, smashing things and blowing things up. Some highlights: running a lawn mower on carpet, nine litres of paint ignited with fireworks, puncturing a water bed with a giant needle, a rocket-powered drying rack, a bottle of red wine in a microwave, and throwing flour on a candle. These guys are definitely pyros of the first order! Of course, my favorite, given that I’m about to go into birthday celebration mode, is when they blow up a birthday cake with fireworks (scene three at :54). Party trick idea?
Thanks Paper Mag. Your morning funnies are always the highlight of my day.
Why are we happy?

Love Is In The Air

Seattle and The Burning Question
The blog has been quiet lately. Crickets, I know. My apologies, but I’ve been really busy moving to Seattle.
It’s difficult to imagine now, but things could have gone very differently. And that brings me to the burning question. Continue Reading
Danielle LaPorte and The Burning Question
Danielle LaPorte is one of my favorite people in the world and we haven’t even met. You know the kinds of people I mean; you read their work, admire their style, share their philosophy and they in turn inspire you, influence your own work, teach you something. One of the benefits of the way social media and the internet has evolved is that it has become possible for us to connect with our virtual friends and mentors in a quite real way, the flip side to the argument that all this time online is making us more isolated. I discovered Danielle when a friend on Facebook linked to an article on her website. What she had to say really resonated with me. It made me stop and take notice but at the same time it was simple and genuine. I signed up to get her email updates and I’ve been a fan ever since.
So, what is The Burning Question? Continue Reading
Happy Valentine’s Day
Ah, Google, spreading love since 2000. (The fist Valentine’s Day Doodle went live that year)
My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
