Yesterday, this little blog turned TWO!!  In some ways it feels like I've been doing this for ages and in other ways it feels like just the other day that I pushed publish on my very first post.  Either way, I am grateful to every person who has commented and followed along!  Now, onto this week's list:

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.

If you ever find yourself in Taiwan, you can stay in a Batman themed room.  Awesome.

These photos of Europe's jeweled skeletons are breathtaking and creepy all at once.

Look at my new phone cover...so perfect:

Star Wars Spin-Offs Will Be Origin Stories.  I quite like this idea to be honest.  I'm hoping for a Boba Fett story..

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:

Happy Sunday!  It's a beautiful warm morning here in Durban which is a sure sign that Summer is coming.  I'm kind of looking forward to this week actually. My essay is due on Tuesday which means it'll finally be off my back and work is shaping up to be quite an interesting week too.  Good interesting I think.  Also, Thursday will be exactly one month to my birthday!  Yay!!

I am going to start with something serious this week.  If you live in Durban, you would've heard about Thursday's horrific truck accident on the M13.  This is an intersection I use daily and I've seen just how badly the trucks drive in this area.  Please check out the Ban Trucks on the M13 Facebook page and sign the petition.  It's time they do something about this.

Take a trip back in time with Old Punk Flyers, my new favourite Tumblr.

Animation Master Hayao Miyazaki Retires from Feature Filmmaking.  Now this is not news I love at all but it's news all the same...sigh...

How adorable is the BMO knit craft special from We Love Fine?  Must. Have.

Okay, this is a very long and a very academic read BUT it basically says that our yawns are not only contagious to other humans but also our dogs!  Cute!!

Here is a first look review of Salinger, the JD Salinger documentary that I only heard abut yesterday!!  There seems to be a fair amount of negativity around it but I remain undecided.

Angry Birds turned into Angry Brands.  This made me laugh.

Here are some amazing Muppet/Superhero mashups from Comic Book Resources.  My favourite is Animal as Wolverine.

And speaking of mashups, here are the X-Men drawn as Star Wars characters.

Also, how cool is Grumpy Ratchet?

source

Things I Love #46

Another Sunday, another list of things I love.  We had a long weekend in this part of the world and, combined with a day of leave, I have been off for 4 days in a row!  Bliss!!

First on this week's list is the amazing cartoon depicting Hayao Miyazaki's philosophy on good and evil in films.  It's profound!

Have you heard of weird Twitter?  Me neither until I read this explanation.

The second episode of Bee and Puppycat is out.  Do yourself a favour and check out this awesomely quirky series, you won't be disappointed.

 Check out Merilee Allred's The Awkward Years Project.  A good reminder that we all had an awkward phase...

Finn and Jake got a super short cameo appearance on Futurama:

Also check out this super awesome video of the Adventure Time intro made out of Lego!!

I love these Star Wars noir film posters by Dean Reeves.  So cool!!

Star Wars toys made me who I am is an article in praise of action figures.

How awesome is this shark sushi plate?  I want...

And finally, sticking with sharks, here is a video of a cat dressed as a shark riding a Roomba (thanks Sam!!!)

I could watch that video for ages!!  Anyway, that's it for this week.  If you've seen anything you love this week then let me know in the comments:)

Things I Love #43

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:

Am I too old for a R2-D2 princess dress? Possibly but it's still very cool.

Look at this Lumpy Space Princess Tutu from We Love Fine.  I'd never wear it but it's still pretty to look at.

Also in Adventure Time, Is BMO a Third-Wave Feminist? Super interesting video about all the different things BMO means:

I just love these Macarbre Gadget Skull rings...I'll take one of each please!

If, like me, you were wishing you were at the San Diego Comic Con then check out the round ups on The Mary Sue for Day One, Day Two and Day Three.

Speak, Memory.  A very interesting read from The New York Review of Books about real vs invented memories.

14 Things You Didn't Know About Neil Gaiman.  I only knew one of these... 

I don't wear heels but these Batman Heels with Swarovski Crystals and Glitter from Etsy might just change my mind.

Now these I might be more inclined to wear, LEGO Building Brick Slippers from Think Geek:

source

Henry Hargreaves has taken some interesting photos of what musicians order backstage.

This week there has been two awesome articles one on the NY Times and the other on Salon about creating characters. Definitely worth a read.

Something else worth a read is Jon Negroni's Pixar Theory.  I see some re-watching in my future...

I love this Cut Along the Dotted Line jewellery from Etsy seller lapinPetite.  Such a unique idea!

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.

A TED Talk that might turn every man who watches it into a feminist.  Worth the 20 mins it takes to watch.

And finally, here is an interesting article from the AV Club about The Art of Death in Superhero Comics.

See anything you love this week?  Let me know in the comments:)  

Things I Love #38

Happy Sunday guys!  Today I am essay writing and reading so I hope that you are all doing something much more interesting.  In case you're not, here's what I loved this week:

Finn, Jake and Marceline finally arrived this week.  They are so super awesome and I am SO happy with them!  I'll do a proper post later in the week but here are some pics to tide you over:

I found this NY Times article about Gesture Writing super interesting and helpful.  Seems as though the concept will help with writer's block.

I really enjoyed Joss Whedon's 2013 Wesleyan commencement speech.  Specifically this line: "You have a responsibility to listen to the dissent in yourself."

So Biffy Clyro did a Q & A this week where they promised to answer the most popular questions put to them on Facebook.  One of those questions:  When are you coming to South Africa?  Answer:  End of this year or early next year.  My reaction:  unabashed giddiness!

Also in music news, Ray Toro from MCR unveiled a solo song in which he played and recorded everything himself.  Listen to it here.

I'd be lying if I told you that this painting of grown-up Calvin and Hobbes didn't leave me with a lump in my throat.

I LOVE the smell of rain.  Would I want to smell like rain?  I'm not too sure but for those of you who are, Blushie has Petrichor perfume oil.  There is also Fresh Cut Grass, Snowfall and Oncoming Storm.

How cool are these Adventure Time BFF Necklaces?  I want them all please and even though I love my friends, I'd probably keep both myself.

This Waning Chesire Art Print by Eric Fan is officially on my wishlist.

I went to I Heart Market yesterday for the first time in ages and came back with this awesome piggy planter and another skull necklace:

And while we're on the subject of offline things, I went to my first real roller derby practice on Thursday night and I didn't suck on skates!!  Yay!  Going back again this coming Thursday so I'll try snap some photos to show you guys.  In the meantime if you're interested in Durban Roller Derby, check out their Facebook page.

If you happen to go to Times Square right now, you'll find a giant LEGO X-Wing Fighter.  How awesome?!?

These Handmade Holster Bags kind of make me think of Han Solo.  Not sure if I'd ever actually use one though...

Check out Takahiro Komuro's super cool sculptures.  Lost at E Minor calls them "elegantly unsettling."  I don't really agree but I do like that phrase..

How cool are these before photos of famous pin-up posters?  

I also love these pictures of Heavily Tattooed Ladies from a Bygone Era by Ramon Maiden.

Fighting Spirits is a very awesome animation by Gene Kim featuring cyborg ballerinas:

Fighting Spirits from Gene Kim on Vimeo.

And lastly, here are some weird hybrid animals...I like the Killer Whale/Penguin combo and the Pug/Bird combo the most.

Things I Love #37

Well, we have reached the last Sunday in May.  This weekend has felt far too short in comparison to the awfully long and busy week I had last week.  I honestly think I would be more productive if we had 3 day weekends.  I'd be a lot more rested for one thing!  Anyway, here's what I managed to find this week in amongst the chaos:

One thing I don't have in my toy collection is a Dunny *shock horror*  Anyway, I really like the look of the sideshow themed Dunny 2013 Collection.  I would be legitimately happy to have any of them:)

source

How adorable are these made to order Sloth Rings by Curious Burrows on Etsy?  I am absolutely in love with this idea!  Actually, I am absolutely in love with the whole shop!

Here are some unlikely cross-overs between Japanese and American pop culture including kawaii Batman and Wolverine is a dress!

LEGO Voldemort goes wand shopping...this lego stop motion made me laugh:

I want both of these Hidden Pencil Notebooks from the MoMA Store.  Also, the Tim Burton playing cards...they look like the characters from The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy.

I wish Facebook would take Jaime Calderon's cue and develop some Superhero Like Buttons.  I think I like The Flash the most.

MILK:  What will you make of me? is an absolutely stunning photographic collaboration between Alexa Mead and Sheila Vand.  I won't even attempt a description, go and have a look!

While we're on the subject of photo series, check out Ghosts of War by Dutch historian Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse.  She blends modern day pics with photos from World War II and the result is haunting to say the least.

I recently discovered the Furry Bones series and I cannot believe I didn't know about them sooner!!  They are basically perfect for me.  It goes without saying that I want them all but I will settle for Flappy and Black Bun-Bun:

Things on Hazel's Head is a tumblr full of things on Hazel the corgi's head.  Guaranteed to make you smile! 

30 Indispensable Writing Tips from Famous Authors.  I think I am going to print out the Ray Bradbury one and stick it on my wall.

Bottom Feeders is an amazing collection by ceramic artist Mary O' Malley.  It features cup, teapots and pitchers covered with barnacles and other undersea creatures.

And finally, how great are these photos of abandoned Star Wars sets?  If I could find these, I would totally make it my mission to visit.

Things I Love #27

This past week has been a good one.  We got our car back, I had my first lecture and thing just generally seem to be going well.  Yay!  Here's what I've been loving just recently:

My new Star Wars necklace from this awesome Etsy seller.  Not only do I love my Darth Vader cameo but I also got a bonus pair of pistol earrings!

You can now Finn Your Face courtesy of Cartoon Network.  There are 25 different Finn faces to choose from and you can share you Finn pictures online.  Download the full set here and check out the Facebook album here.

On the subject of Adventure Time, how great are these Finn and Jake Headphones?  I'd definitely buy one but how would I choose?!

The Comic Book Resources site has another preview of the True Live of the Fabulous Killoys art.  I can't even explain to you guys how excited I am to see this series!

I LOVE the I am Stay Puft Ladies Tank Top from Think Geek.  It fulfills my need for nerdy clothing and it has a nautical feel - two birds, one stone.

I came across this great article on Buzzfeed featuring 98 Concept Sketches from Miyazaki movies.  Too perfect!

And right under that article was a link to this one - Hayao Miyazaki's Films as LEGOs.

While we are on the subject of cute Japanese characters, check out the cute Rilakkuma mouse I found at the 100% Store in Gateway last week:

Working full-time and studying part-time means I really, really need to learn some time management and organisation this year.  One of my very favourite bloggers Kyla Roma has given us a peak at her 2013 planner and a free download...awesome!

These images from Ben Heine's Camera vs Pencil project are great.  My favourite is the fishing one at the top.

The Jerkface Typewriter just makes me laugh.  Follow the link for some illustrated insults from an old-school typewriter.

Plasticine Tattooine gives a voice to some of the lesser known Star Wars characters and, as an added bonus, makes all the characters out of Plasticine!

I think I have fallen in love with the Rockets and Rainbows Esty store...so many awesome pieces!  Also on Esty, the Jolie Petite Deco store has the most amazing kawaii cases.  So tempted to order one...

I have such love for weird monsters/creatures which is why these images and plushies by Simon Le Roux caught my eye.  You can view her full portfolio here.

Maybe I'm just juvenile but the Poop Lamp by Diana Dumitrescu just makes me laugh.  I think it would  make the perfect night light!

I absolutely adore this Bird in Hand light.  Using the shadow puppet concept, all the hands in this light are positioned so that the shadows look like fling birds. 

Alison Anselot's combination of food and Pantone colours makes me wish all food was presented like this.  It also makes me hungry...

This Deviant Art Gallery belongs to Hillary White and it's pretty much perfect!

And last but not least, here are some macro photographs of soap bubbles.  The article likens them to alien planets and I couldn't agree more.

Things I Love #24

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!

In need of some cuteness?  Here are the 40 greatest dog GIFs of all time.  I really, really need a dog guys!!

Harland Miller is a London based-writer and artist who has created some pretty cool Penguin book covers for his latest show.

Another artist from Mexico, Carlos Amorales has an installation called Black Cloud which is made up of 30 000 black paper moths.  It's breathtaking!

The Hindu festival of Holi is someting that has always caught my eye.  So many colours!  Anyway, German photographer Katrin Korfmann captured some truly amazing aerial pictures.

This poster detailing the power of magical white beards based on length made me smile.  More proof that Gandalf kicks ass!

Magical White Beards, Powers by length infographic by Wildyles.

When you are as clumsy as me, a tablecloth that improves with spillage pretty much sounds like a dream come true.  Check them out here.

Want to see Elrond and Thranduil as penguins?  Of course you do, click here.  Gotta love penguins, or if you are the Ice King, little tuxedo people.

I can't think of anything better than a couch made of marshmallows.  So soft and squishy.  Japanese designer Kei Harada has created one that's come pretty close at least in looks.

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.

Now this is the kind of installation I can really appreciate.  Leah Foster makes these amazing 10 ft tall cupcake towers!  Yum!!

And finally, a video of all the Stan Lee cameos including the Avengers, you're welcome:
