Things I Love #40

Happy Father's day to my most awesome dad!!  And also to all the other fathers I know, hope you've all been spoilt rotten.   The first item on this weeks list is quite fitting...

Lego released a happy Star Wars Fathers day video and it just warms my heart:

On the subject of LEGO, check out these amazing pictures of Nathan Sawaya's Art of the Brick show.  Who ever said LEGO was for kids!

 I love Stan Lee but I am not so sure how much I'd like to smell like him.  What do you think about Stan Lee's signature fragrance?

Least Helpful rounds up all the most useless reviews on Amazon and presents them for our enjoyment. I got a few good laughs out of this one.

Textile artist Claire Moynihan creates the most amazing 3D embroidered insects and bugs.  My favourite is the snail.

Ever wanted to make bread rolls that look like xenomorph eggs?  Well now you can.  

Have I mentioned how much I am loving the Walking Dead?  Well I am and this Walking Dead debit card would be so super awesome:

Jason sent me this Buzzfeed article with 12 scientific way that reading can improve your life.  Needless to say I am feeling pretty awesome about the amount of reading I am doing these days.

This Social Media Job Title Generator makes me laugh.  My favourite one so far has been Virality Cornholio.

I love this Iron Fist Spineless Blouse so very much.  That said, the word blouse really bugs me, it sounds terribly old fashioned...

This Instant Shakespeare Insult Kit is my new favourite thing!  If you cross me, prepare to be called an artless, beef-witted dewberry or a fobbing, fly-bitten fustilarian or....you get the picture.

Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance and Leathermouth has released a very rough solo track:

In other My Chem related news, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys was released this week.  MTV Geek had an exclusive interview with Gerard Way to celebrate.

I don't really uses Twitter much but I enjoyed this article about 7 SA Twitter terms that need to go global.

This poster series featuring inspirational quotes from the DC universe is so cool.  I want to cover my walls with them!

Another poster series I'd love to have?  The Slothzilla series which "depict the tedious and nap-filled chaos created by the Slothzilla."  Need I say more?

This photo of a wedding party being chased by AT-ATs makes me smile.  It also makes me sad that we didn't think of that...oh well...

Some interesting thoughts on Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby.  I'm so sad that I didn't get around to seeing it before it went of circuit but, considering I was sceptical about the 3D maybe that's not such a bad thing?

This chair belongs in my life.  That is all.

Finally, Rolo's reaction to the smell of toast never fails to make me smile:

And that's all for this week.  Seen anything you love?  Let me know in the comments:)  

PS.  I am going to be taking a little break for the next week and a half.  My exam is on the 24th and I really need the extra revision time so I will be back to blogging next week Wednesday or thereabouts.  

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:
