Catches tigers in red weather.

Just so you know, if I ever go for, like, a week or longer without updating here, its probably because tumblr has stolen my attention and this is basically me on any given day:


Click for full view.

Ah, obsession. Most of my hyper, random moments of fangirling over kpop or whatever tends to go there since I don't feel as bad spamming there than I do here. Man, I spam to my heart's content.

Anyway, Links!

× Cross-stitch patterns for Super Mario Bros. 3 Worlds 1-8. Ah, summer projects ahoy! (Although I should really finish that Okami one I stopped working on more than a year ago. Note: The free program KG Chart is needed to view the STH file patterns, although PDF files have also been uploaded.

× Found via mklutz: Gray whales have been thought to be extinct for centuries now, but one was spotted in the Mediterranean. Incredible! Also, A Leopard and Golden Retriever are unlikely BFFs. Stories like this just warm my heart.

× I want these LocoRoco plushies. The only way these could be any more awesome is if they could sing.

× Tetris is everywhere. No one can escape those blocks.

× Crocheted Megaman helmet might make a pretty sweet winter cap. If you're not embarrassed wearing a Megaman helmet in public, that is.

× Most accurate Cloud Strife cosplay ever takes me back to 1997. I'm surprised no one thought to cosplay as super-deformed!Cloud before.

× There are two versions of RPG Nier because Westerners find it ridiculous for a slender hero to carry around a humongous sword? They should have just released a single version with the option to choose either version of the character.

× The Absurdity of Video Game Speech is an interesting read.

× I found this really neat on tumblr, so I though some of you might as well: The Other Sky Project. Basically this project asks anyone interested to take a photo of the sky at 5PM on May 23rd so that a collage of everyone's photo can be made. I'm hoping the sky here isn't all plain when it turns 5 on Sunday.

My plans for Halloween are to watch Old Boy and Audition, and to ignore the doorbell if anyone rings it. Sorry, kids, your candy is in another castle.

Good thing this neighborhood is full of nothing but elementary school kids or else I might have my house egged or something. Anyway!


Happy Halloween!!

× PART TWO of hiimdaisy's totally awesome Persona 4 comic. My favorite part is when Dojima gives Souji the bathing suit. Loling forever. READ IT READ IT READ IT.

× Nintendo Rubik's Cube. If only this was an actual Nintendo product! I'd so buy it.

× My brother and I have been playing Twilight Princess (well, I pretty much just sit back and offer any hints/advice when he needs it) and once he got the Zora armor I started wondering if anyone had cosplayed it before. And it looks like somebody has--and quite awesomely, at that. Where can I find more of this?!

× Fashion editorial styled by Tim Burton. The Edward Scissorhands one is really cool, as is the bunny girl one. So creepy, so interesting.

× Oh Jon Gosselin, your Halloween costume shows what a true douche-bag you are.

× Very cool Super Mario diorama entitled Mario Propaganda.

× One of my favorite street fashion shots from Tokyo Fashion. This girl is like a (slightly creepy) porcelain doll! I'm in love with her tiered lace skirt and her Halloween-themed painted nails.

× Awesome Sailor Moon avatars cross-stitch pattern. Must remember to d/l a pattern reader so I can get started on stitching this!

× Fanfic: Sena Is Not A Girl (ES21). Oh god, I love this fic. Its just so crack-y. Ahhhhhh. The summary pretty much tells you all you need to know about it: "Sena is a boy. And he's straight. Totally." Oh Sena, you are a guy magnet. XD

× From lifemetercomics: True Love Brawls, an awesome Super Smash Bros. comic involving Link and Kirby fighting over Zelda. Seriously, if you only check out one thing from this post, this comic should be it. Go check it out!

× Cross-stitch patterns:

→ Cuccos attacking Link

→ This Pokemon pattern is insane. Even more insane than my Okami project. I want to do a Pokemon pattern, but maybe I'd better start small, like with these badges.

→ World 1 Map from Super Mario Bros. 3

× Independent Lens is a weekly series of documentaries and dramas airing on PBS that I've recently started watching regularly. I used to only catch it every once in a while since I'm kind of terrible about remembering when stuff airs on PBS, but I really enjoyed Lakshmi and Me, a documentary that takes a look at the Indian caste system by showing the relationship between a maid and her employer, so I'm trying to keep my Tuesday night viewing schedule open for this series. Upcoming episode I want to see: Stranded: The Andes Plane Crash Survivors (May 19)

× Once again, Japan gets an awesome limited edition DS(i) design: Gyakuten Kenji DSi. Its the Blue Badger!

× Game Over, a flickr set of sewn, vinyl game cartridges based on old Activision games.

× The Periodic Table of Controllers

× These Gameboy plushies are so cute! I'd love to have a bunch of these sitting on my bed. The price isn't so cute though, I'd probably try to make my own before coughing up $35 per plush.
