I have such a backlog of photos to post here. Mainly just random ones that have been sitting on my hard-drive. Let's start with some of the merch I bought at A-Kon!




This was the most delicious sweet cream biscuit I got at A-Kon. I wish I had bought more than one. But the booth was forever swamped.


Cute earrings I picked up at The Tiny Fig booth.


Kuruneko Yamato plushies I picked up. The old one's face cracks me up.


I also bought one of Sora! Still need to take a pic of him.


Foxhound Messenger bag.


This Okami/Bayonetta art was too good not to pick up.


Can't resist cute, puffy stickers.


Seriously, I still have so much I haven't taken a proper picture of!

And now for a bunch of whatever.


Packing up shoes to take to New House.


My boots. I have too many shoes, I should probably edit my collection down.


Bookshelfffffff. Although part of this is in boxes now.




Choppy always has angry face when she's half asleep.


See?!


Sora was looking regal on my bed, but the moment I took out my camera he tried to eat the cord.


Sleepy Jackie. He has a dried up boogie in the corner of his eye lol.


Fluffy thinks soda boxes are comfortable apparently.


My doggy Sam.




Gift my grandma got me for the New House. I honestly don't know what to do with it. xD Maybe I'll take the bear off and put it with my other stuffed animals so it won't be lonely, and decorate the wreath or toss it.


Little owl coin purse I found at World Market.




I wanted an over-sized watch, so I got one.


Random find at Half-Price Books, Grow Your Own Crop Circle! Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the grass to grow, so no crop circle for me. Oh well, it was only $3.


When I ordered Super Junior's 5th album from kpoptown as a bonus they put in a handful of Suju cards.


Perusing the fashion section of HPB I came across a collection of FRUiTS items. Score!


Links.

× yowayowa camera woman diary is a really charming photography blog where the photographer Natumi Hayashi posts "levitating self portraits". So basically photos of her caught in mid-air, but I rather enjoy how it appears like she has managed to pause herself while the rest of the world goes on around her.

× 9 Way a Man Can Pee is a hilarious comic.

× This is not your usual version of Disney. (Possibly NSFW)

× Jezebel has this new feature "Worth It" where they rec a beauty product (make-up, skin care, etc) that they consider worth checking out. The comments to these posts are what I really like the most since users give their own review of what's being recced, and other products end up getting recced.
Be sure to click "all" on the discussion thread section in order to see all the comments, and not just the featured ones.

× Mysterious paper sculptures appearing around Edinburgh! So interesting, so beautiful.

× Dry, non-bleeding highlighter pencil looks pretty neat.

× Regional accents in the United States are getting stronger. I always wonder if I have some sort of accent. I don't have that ~Texas twang~ that typically gets imitated, but I know I do sometimes say things the way my mother does, who spoke Spanish first. Check out the discussion at the bottom from some funny anecdotes on having accents misunderstood.

× Why General Admission Seating At A K-pop Concert Is The Dumbest Idea Ever. The kpop fans going to SMTown in NYC here might enjoy reading this.

× Gakkin Tattoo's flickr photostream is gorgeous.

× Video: Video game in a box, is a physical side-scroller of Super Mario Bros. that is made from a cardboard box, paper, various other crafting items and servos. The goal is to have Mario avoid the obstacles as they scroll by, with the speed increasing as you play along. When Mario hits an obstacle, the box closes itself. Very cool.

× Coca Cola: A Pixel Edition is a Space Invaders inspired art involving Coke products.

× Create you own lunchables as a healthier alternative to the ones sold in store.

× Video: Bird tries to walk down an up escalator. Its cute how it walks away quickly when it sees its not getting anywhere. Bird embarrassment?

× Video: Loyal duck follows farmer everywhere. D'awwww.

× You know what can make painting masterpieces even better? Fat tabby cats! I might have linked to this before, but I don't care. Seeing a fat cat in place of Venus in Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" makes my day. (Link at Jezebel gives the name of the paintings if you'd like to know them.)

× 10+ Dishes and Drinks Everyone Should Know How to Make At Home

× I've been meaning to clean out my closet for a while now, so How do I get rid of clothes clutter? on Lifehacker came at an convenient time.

× I'm going to go ahead an admit it: I love The Beauty Department, which is a site Lauren Conrad (yes, Laguna Beach Lauren Conrad) and others post beauty advice. I've gotten nail art ideas from them.
I'm obsessed with eyebrows (just ask [personal profile] midorihaven lol) so one of my fave TBD post: Brows 101.

× How I got my stolen lapt back within 24 hours using Prey. I had not heard of Prey before so this was very intereting!

× Items to have in a pocket survival kit. Check out the comments on the post for more examples of how and what to put in a survival kit.

× Extra Petite has grown into one of my favorite fashion blogs, mainly because the blogger is nearly identical to my height and weight. Although she also post entries that can apply to anyone, like this one on tips for buying pre-owned or discount Chanel purses.

× Post It Wars is basically Post-It art (of video game pixel art, paintings, etc) seen in public spaces.

× Posters of fairy tales designed in a minimalist style. My favorite is Little Red Riding Hood.

× Ursus Wehrli's The Art of Clean Up takes every day objects/food/etc and arranges them in rows according to color, size, shape and type.

× The art porfolio of Jessica Lagunas. She has a series of pieces where she applies beauty products, such as applying an entire bottle of nail polish until its empty, that caught my eye. These pieces are supposed to "reflect the pressures imposed by today’s society" although I'm to lazy at the moment to give my thoughts on it. (OMG this links rec list of mine got way too big this round.)

Ahhhh, this entry took forever to put together.
