It's been a good Sunday. I slept in, Jason bought breakfast with hash browns, I finished my varsity reading and went for a little skatey skate. Here's some other things I loved this week.
Well here we are on the second day of February. If the rest of this year follows January's example then I think 2014 is going to kick some serious ass. This week I head back to varsity which means that my year is officially back in full swing. Wish me luck!
Another week done and dusted. Is it just me or is January flying by? I'll assume it's not just me because that's better for my sanity! Here's what caught my attention this week:
Saint Exupery lands at last. Did you know the creator of The Little Prince went MIA during World War II? I did not...
Happy December you guys. Can't believe there are only 31 days left of 2013!! Rolo the hamster got an early Christmas present this afternoon when I cleaned his cage which is why this picture is at the tops of this week's list:
I might have posted this before but how hilarious are these cats in tights??
Although if I had these super cute Totoro tights I would not put them on my cat (if I had a cat).
I am busy reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and its making me want to learn to pick locks. I think I need these lock pick earrings to get me started.
How cute is this Winnie the Pooh Oh Bother supercut from Disney? Still one of my very favourite characters:
The 30 Greatest Comic Book Moments of 2013. I haven't read all of these but I think the exchange between Harley Quinn and the Green Arrow is my favourite. And the puppy bomb.
What a week! I've definitely been experiencing a low after the ridiculous high of bout weekend. I also suddenly have all this free time and I'm not sure what to do with it!! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but seriously, now that life is back to a normal pace, I'm going to have to adjust a bit. Crazy right? Anyway, on to other things:
And lastly, Out of Print Clothing have literary jewelry range that is all kinds of amazing Either one of the East and West Egg and the Slaughterhouse Five ones are my favourite:
So here we are, back in November. This year really has gone by super fast and, with everything going on this month, it's going to be December and Christmas time before we even know it!! Kind of hard to believe hey?
This time next week I'll officially be a 30 year old!! I don't know how it snuck up on me so fast but suddenly, after months of waiting, my birthday is less than a week away! Eek! In some ways it feels like turning 30 is some of the best motivation I have ever had. So many exciting things going on at the moment - birthdays, derby, French lessons and the fact that despite my stresses, I am doing consistently well at varsity makes me a happy girl! Anyway, here's what I loved this week:
This game!! We haven't actually played it yet but all information points towards awesome:
This weekend has been my first peaceful weekend in like a month. It was so nice to get out, get some sun and not feel guilty about impending essay deadlines or whatnot. Here's what I loved on the internet this week:
How cool is this shark onesie? Actually it's called a Sharkini and I'm not sure I'd really wear it but I like the idea.
I included some of the new Black Milk Harry Potter range on my birthday wishlist but really I want them all. Check out the full range here.
Check out this super cool Lego art that I bought at yesterday's I Heart Market. He was created by Big Kid Art who are new to the market and have tons of awesome pieces. I could've easily walked away with 2 or 3 or 10:
Growing up I was completely anti team sports. I rode horses and I swam and I was good at those things because it was just me. I was just too shy to really interact with a team. Today, I went to buy myself a helmet and skate padding to go with my shiny new skates because I think I have finally found a team sport that I could get into. It's early days still but so far, I am loving being on skates and I am loving the idea of roller derby. Now, moving on to other things I love:
Periodic Tableware is a super awesome Kick Starter to create glassware based on the type of glass equipment used in labs. Best part, its already fully funded.
Another Sunday, another Things I Love post. What was supposed to be a fairly busy weekend become a super quiet one which is just as well because it's been cold and wet and perfect for the couch:)
Things I have learnt this week: I am a terrible procrastinator. If anyone has a magical cure for this I'd love for you to send it my way. Also, I need to be a bit more organised. Having a blog schedule is a great idea but I do still have to write the posts. Anyway, moving along, here are the things I found while procrastinating on the internet this week:
Iron Fist have started making nail stickers!!! And the best part is that they follow the designs they use on their shoes and other accessories. Even though I could buy them all, I particularly want the Zombie Stompers, American Nightmare and Siesta Skull ones.
Mandy from Chocolate and Cream Cake shared this link to a 1987 Nes Great Gastby game and it is too cool. Also, if you don't already follow her Nerd News on a Thursday you should go and check it out immediately.
Look at this Adventure Time cake!!! Seriously starting to wonder if I should change my 30th birthday party them from Star Wars to something more general so I can include my other obsessions...
It's getting colder in this part of the world and I am desperately searching for interesting tights. In the meantime, I want everything on this site! Especially the stars, the polka dots and the stripes. I love the stripes...
Good afternoon and welcome to the first collection of things I love in 2013. I have been man down with some silly virus for the last four days meaning I have had plenty of time to peruse the internet for randomness. Hope you enjoy:)
The Great Gatsby is on of my all time favourite books. I love the story, I love the way it was written and I love the 1920s. Anyway, I am eagerly anticipating the movie and, if you click here, you can see some great character posters and watch the newest trailer. Thanks Mandy for sharing this.
Would you look at the awesomeness of this Skull Pendant Light on Etsy? I would be super stoked to have this hanging in my house.
And speaking of skulls, I happened upon a Sass Diva 50% of sale the other day and walked away with this great little skull necklace. Its a little different to my normal neckwear but I just couldn't resist!
We had a quiet New Years this year so we missed out on any fireworks but this video of fireworks in reverse more than makes up for it:
LEGO are making a Marvel video game!! Such awesome news. I have played the Harry Potter and Star Wars LEGO adaptations and loved both. This one will feature Wolverine and Loki among others. Officially excited.
Staying with LEGO, they are also releasing an official Back to the Future set! I might actually be tempted to buy this one!
These pictures show what paint looks like before the tint is mixed in. So unusual.
This the last Things I Love of 2012!! Can you believe we are at the ass-end of the year already? Me neither. Anyway, I will be on leave from the 21st of December so I am going to take a little blogging break until I go back to work on the 8th of January. Although I am fairly sure it'll be impossible, I am going to try and take a little break from the internet as well. We'll see how that one works out!! Without further ado (I like that saying), here's Things I Love #23:
Kat Von D's Wonderland Gallery is hosting a Skulls show at the moment that I would just love to see. They are all anatomically correct and absolutely beautiful to look at! I find the human head bone very aesthetically pleasing!! Anyway, you can check out some of the work here.
Need a good way to waste some time? Visit The Useless Web, click the button and be directed to one of the many useless websites floating about out there. Hours of fun. Okay maybe not hours but still...
My new Domo arrived in the post yesterday!! Out of all the Series 4 ones available, I managed to get my first choice...hooray!
Speaking of yesterday, I had my Tragus pierced yesterday and I can report that A) it's not that sore and B) I did not hear a pop. I LOVE the way it looks.
We went to see The Hobbit on Thursday night. I really, really enjoyed it!! I definitely recommend checking it out but be warned - there is a lot that is NOT in the book!
And, while we're on the subject of Middle Earth, this video made me laugh!!
Do you know that you can follow the worlds first live-tweeting hamster on Twitter? Created as part of a competition, his cage uses heat, motion and pressure sensing technology to work out where he is and what he is doing. You can finds Squeaks' tweets here.
Lastly, Catherine Nelson is a digital artist who uses hundreds of photos to create amazing floating worlds. They look absolutely magical!
And that's pretty much it for this Things I Love!! I'll be back next year with more internet randomness to share with you all!! You can check out the rest of this years Things I Love here.
I totally forgot to post Things I Love
yesterday afternoon.We went couch
shopping for the bazillionth time and at long last our patience (aka
procrastination) paid off.The
fact that the springs on my side of our very, very old and well used couch
completely gave out during the week was a great motivator.Anyway, our shiny new couch is arriving
tomorrow afternoon and I am like a kid before Christmas, all excitement and
anticipation!Now, before I get
completely carried away, lets move on to the slightly belated Things I Love
#13:
Big Bang Theory. We recently started watching this show from season one and to say that I love it would be a complete understatement. Dr Sheldon Cooper is too awesome!
These Ideas in boxes from Malva are
super cool.For R250 you get box frame and one idea.You can make
your own to add or you can buy extra ideas for R30.Love it!
This Woe Anchor t-shirt from the Orphan’s Arms is gorgeous.The right
colour, the perfect print but for those of us converting Rands to Pounds, the
wrong price *sigh*
As a follow-up to Things I Love #12, I
present the superhero Manatees.I don’t know what it is about these creatures but they are so cool…
Sleep and I have a love/hate
relationship.I love to sleep but
for some reason my body doesn’t.It stays awake and thinks about the next day, what the hamster is doing
and whether that is a friendly noise or a break-in.Anyway, this post on getting a good nights sleep from Gala Darling is full of helpful tips.
And lastly, as cheesy as this may sound, my
love for all things Shakespeare and all things theatre totally got a kickstart last week.I went to check out the
'The
Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspre (ABRIDGED) last week Thursday and loved every minute of it!Sadly the show has finished it’s run
but should it ever reappear, I highly recommend checking it out.
