Whoa, its been longer than I expected since I last updated. Its all kpop's fault, guys. Super Junior is currently promoting, which means I'm practically glued to whatever they do that catches my interest. Also, my sleep schedule is so screwed up, which, again I blame on kpop. Ahhh, my obsession. Anyway, here's some randomness that has happened:

☀ It appears our family has gained a dog. More on this later!

☀ Because I'm a dum-dum who sometimes forgets what books she already owns, I ended up buying myself a second copy of Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki artbook Salty Dog V at A-Kon. I came home and basically made a :| face at my bookshelf when I started unpacking.

So. Anyone want it? Make an offer if you want, but I'll pretty much just mail it to you. /mellow and incredibly lazy

☀ A couple of weeks ago I dropped my DS lite, and unlike any of the other times I've dropped it on the floor, this time it actually got damaged--the top screen started acting up. Then I dropped it again in my hotel room while at A-Kon. I'm such a butterfingers FFFFFFUUUUU. Now the top screen looks worse; about a third of it flickers and it seems like everything shifted up several pixels (if that makes sense). Its not necessary that I need to buy a replacement, but I'm so tempted to pick up a DSi.

☀ There have been some new people on the good ol' flist lately, so I guess its time for a social networking roundup:

Please feel free to add me if you'd like. :D




Links.

× What your e-mail address says about you is hilarious. And pretty accurate. (Found via [personal profile] mklutz)

× I've been waiting for this moment since Ninja Assassin was first released: Rivalry between Rain and Stephen Colbert continues! Yessssss.

× Video: film short for a possible Mortal Kombat reboot. I have much love for the original 1995 film, but this actually kinda amazing. As Kotaku put it, its "brutal, disgusting, and perfect." I would love to see this darker version of Mortal Kombat come out. Although, why they gotta kill off Johnny Cage? ;~;

× Video: Paper Mario For Real is a stop-motion animation that recreates the original Super Mario Bros. on the walls of a Japanese school.

× Video(s): Top Ten Spelling Bee Freak-outs. And yes, the fainting kid is in it. He's my favorite!

× Jezebel put together a list of 12 great Etsy shops, with the list leaning heavily on the vintage and hipster side. Through the comments I discovered other rather neat Etsy shops:
    Vintage50sEyewear which offers, obviously, vintage eyewear;
    Chatham Girls has cute bow hair accessories;
    Janine Basil for retro and burlesque hats/headpieces;
    nervoussystem, my personal favorite and probably only Etsy shop listed here I'd actually shop from, which sells jewelry based on organic forms and mathematical series. MY HEART, YOU HAVE IT.

× This Snorlax bubble-dress is so cute! I'm very tempted to make one myself.

× Its a Rush (Megaman) crochet hat...for your dog? Adorable.
