And I have nothing better to do sit around watching an NCIS marathon and put together a links rec post. Merry Christmas, everyone. ♥



Links.

× This is completely late since I have a feeling I'll finish typing out this post after midnight, but: how to wrap the best gifts without breaking the bank, how to wrap the perfect present.

× Gawker asks what's the worst Christmas gift you've gotten, the resulting comments are hilarious and horrifying. (Click on "all" on the discussion thread section to check out all the comments. They are a treasure trove and a train wreck at once)

× Creative uses for wrapping paper is really useful post-Christmas if you've like me and have a shitload of wrapping paper left over.

× Katamari Christmas tree is too cool. I want it!

× I promise you not every link rec is Christmas related. Most that are under this cut aren't! )

I got all rage-y today over various things, so I have a feeling the overall tone of this post might come off as apathetic since I feel worn out right now.

First lets get nail polish swatches and WIWT pics out of the way.


Butter London's Blagger. One more Butter London swatch, plus an Outfit of the Day from earlier this month. )

Links.
× Journalist has twitter account suspended for talking too much about Occupy Wall Street, SOPA, and NDAA. Updates from this link show that the journalist did have his account restored (earlier today it wasn't), but the fact that he, as well as other users who blog/tweet about OWS, SOPA, and NDAA were suspended as well is shady and fucked up. It reeks of trying to silence individuals trying to get info out there when the media has provided very little coverage on these issues that are important to life here in the United States.

× Very well done summary of the Korean position of the Comfort Women, who recently staged their 1000th protest in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. An article on this issue showed up on [profile] aramatheydidnt and it was infuriating how some lj users were completely up Japan's ass and refusing to see how Japan's handling of this has been half-assed and how wrongs that have been done have been basically ignored. Ugh, I'm getting mad thinking about those comments all over, take a tip from me and do not look for the entry on Arama.

× This series of images shows how a handful of urban locations around the world compare to each other when it comes to street networks and patterns. Some of the comparisons are very striking.

×
How to cook perfect rice without a rice cooker.

× Lifehacker's most popular How-To guides of 2011. Just to name a few of the articles: how to build your own computer from scratch, learn to code, guide to saving money on monthly expenses by looking at your bills.

× omg my list of link recs is really long this time )

I'm completely fail at updating this journal more than a couple of times a month even though I'm always checking my flist, ugh. I end up doing big compilation posts like the following. So let's get a couple of things out of the way:

1. I'm now 27! Birthday was at the end of last month. Many thanks for all the birthday messages I received from you guys on tumblr and twitter! ♥

2. Speaking of tumblr and twitter: ghostdrive@tumblr and ghostdrive@twitter. I post frequently at those two places every single day since those sites seem more appropriate for my spamming of kpop/fashion/etc. I'd feel so completely annoying updating frequently with the same content here on lj (if that makes sense). So follow me if you'd like to keep up with me! And uh, if my constant chattering at those places gets annoying feel free to remove me, I won't take offense! I feel the need to warn people of this lol. I know not everyone shares my interests.

3. Pic-spam of images from tumblr:

What I Wore Today posts

Links.

× How to make your own soy milk.

× Info from Lifehacker on where/how to get free e-books for your e-reader.

× Chalk street-art of LEGOs based on the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses.

× Chromatic typewriter is typewriter modded with colorpads that allows you to make paintings with it. So cool!

What I Wore Today: October 29th; November 1st, 3rd-5th )


Head to the side seems to be my go-to pose. I like my left side okay. xD


medialog for October 2011 )


Links.
× Contract rider for the Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert is full of awesome. Bales of hay for Epona and Lon Lon Milk are a must-have for our Hero of Time. (original article)

× Philips urban beehive design is so fascinating. It's an "attempt to combat dwindling bee colonies by encouraging those living in urban areas to maintain a hive at home." It unfortunately looks a bit like a urinal though lol.

× Tutorial: Jackson Pollock-inspired nails.

× Britain's The Royal Society opens up their historical archives to the public. Around 60,000 papers are available for view, free of charge. Papers by Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and more!

× Giella is a company that can match the color of discontinued lipsticks, lip gloss, lip pencils and nail polish. Very helpful is something you really love is no longer made. I'll need to remember this site when this awesome Eyeko polish begins to run out.
