Catches tigers in red weather.

Bah, I'm once again forgetful in updating in a timely manner.


Outfit of the Day: April 26th

( 2 more outfits posts, 2 nail polish swatches, and my new moss terrarium. )

Links.

× A couple of links from Birchbox's tumblr: 8 easy to care for plant recs for small apartments | photo tutorial for fishtail braid

× From Buzzfeed: 18 snacks you can make in a mug in the microwave | 27 ways to eat healthier | Where Are They Now? The Original Power Rangers | Creepy things children have said to their parents (check out the reddit thread for even more)

× I recently came across For the Makers, which is monthly box subscription of DIY projects for jewelry, accessories, and the like. Seems very interesting! I might try this service out in the future.

× Another DIY box subscription I've come across is Whimsey Box. It didn't grab me as much as For the Makers did, but its still a neat option.

× From The Beauty Department: TBD's fave beauty sources for makeup/hair/nail/etc items | How to make your lips look bigger (Lisa Eldridge also recently posted a video on making thin lips look bigger as well) | tutorial for a strong brow | Great Gatsby-inspired manicure tutorial | tutorial on highlighting the brow bone for the appearance of an instant lift | cat eye tutorial

× Mark Ruffalo knows about Science Bros. THE FANDOM FOURTH WALL HAS BEEN BROKEN, RUN.

× 7-minute HICT exercise workout. A 12-step workout that requires only yourself, a chair, and the wall.

× Gavin, the photobombing parrot fish is super cute and hilarious.

All the games I ordered from Amazon finally came in. My mom tossed the package on my chest this morning and I spent about 5 minutes sleepily clutching at it until I forced myself up. Haha! I'm so not a morning person on weekends.

Actually, I received one of the games, Grim Grimoire, in a separate package on Thursday--it only took two days to arrive, too! That Amazon seller is so getting good feedback from me. Another plus is that my obsessive rechecking of my wishlist procured me a new copy of Siren for only $10, less than any of the other new offers there. The other game I bought was Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

Note to self: the reprint of Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga comes out next month.

On a sad note, comic book artist Michael Turner passed away yesterday. I totally had a crush on the man back when he was the artist of Witchblade, and I can still remember when he was first diagnosed with cancer and how happy I was when his subsequent surgery went well (<---this was back in 2000). Since I don't subscribe to Wizard magazine anymore, nor do I frequent any comic book message boards/forums/etc, I had no idea how advanced his illness had become. I was honestly shocked when I came across this news in tonypepper. [sigh]

Such a young man. He will be missed.

OMG FABLES. I've only read one volume and I'm already in love with the series. ♥ I'm intrigued by the idea of a Fable community living in secrecy amongst the Mundanes (normal humans); its refreshing considering I've pretty much read nothing but manga for the past 6 years. XD I want to know more about the back stories of Bigby and Snow White so I'll probably be making a trip to the bookstore this weekend.

Also, I've begun reading Kingdom Come. I'm quite entranced by it. And, of course, the beautiful artwork by Alex Ross is pleasing to look at.

The sudden change in weather yesterday gave me a serious case of drippy nose that I am still suffering from today. Its summertime, dammit! I'm not supposed to have a cold.

( Re: Latest Project Runway episode. Excuse me while I rant over who was eliminated. )

EDIT. Oh yeah, and I can't wait for the next episode. :3 Apparently someone is getting kicked off the show. Ahahaha, I'm so looking forward to the drama that is sure to come.
