Friday Night Goth-Hood

The other night we (my roommate's--Sarah and Aubrey--and I) decided we wanted a night out, and we wanted to go and watch the movie Robin Hood since it had just come out in the cheap theatre. We decided to make a whole night of it and dress up for fun. What to dress up as was the hard question. Sarah wanted to go "goth", Aubrey wanted to be spunky and colorful, and I wanted to be characters from Robin Hood. That evening I was out doing a photo shoot with a friend, and didn't get home until about five minutes before we needed to leave for the movie. As I walked in the door it became obvious from the get-up that both my roommates were sporting that we were going goth. So I scrambled and threw on some black clothes and Sarah gave me some nice, thick eye-liner and purple lipstick. It ended up taking longer than five minutes to get me ready and so we missed the first bit of the movie, but we still got in and the bit we watched was awesome. There were corny points in the movie, and some intense battle scenes, but I really really liked it. After we got home I insisted we do a photo shoot, and, well, here you go. :)

If I Become an Evil Overlord...

Alright, I'm back. It's sharing time again.

First of all, this is me... dressed to look like (well, kinda) Algernon MonCrief from "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. We performed different scenes from the play for our Literary Theory class.

Secondly, here are some lynx to some fun/amazing sites that I have discovered through stumbleupon.com.

-Things To Remember If You Ever Become an Evil Overlord
-The Virtual Piano
-Create your own (3D) snowflake
-A weird, interactive, if slightly bizarre site
-Extraordinary Examples of Paper Art (awesome!)
-It's a Hobbit house, I swear!

and these are just a few... its that awesome! :D

Should I just break down and buy it?

So, my favorite series (the Queen's Thief books by Megan Whalen Turner) just released the newest book in the series, YESTERDAY! I love these books, and right now I'm trying to figure out what the fastest way is to getting a copy of the book. Well, the fastest and/or BEST way. In other words, is it better for me to wait for a library or friend (whoever else reads these books, let me know!) to get a copy and then borrow it, or should I just break down and buy it myself. I know that I'll want my own copy eventually. I just don't know if I should be saving my money for more important things at this point. (My art teacher sent a list of our needed art materials and I've gotta go and purchase about 40 different bottles of paint + ...)

Anyway... :-) Here, you can read about it yourself. But whatever you do, if you have not read the other books in the series, READ THEM FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Conspiracy of Kings is the sequel to The Thief, The Queen of Attolia and The King of Attolia. It is the fourth of Megan Whalen Turner’s books about Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis.

★Booklist
"Turner continues her exquisite series with another rich story that examines peace, power, leadership, and loyalty. . . . [B]oth series newcomers and fans . . . will be waiting to grab this stand-out, stand-alone adventure, filled with all the expected intrigue and political machinations, from the shelves."

★The Horn Book
"Once again [Turner] displays an extraordinary ability to engage both brain and feeling at full force; to provide equally intellectual complexity, action, and inner psychological realms of intimacy and vulnerability—whether in romantic love or in friendship. She does this here brilliantly, ringing the changes on events, characters, and narrative strategies in the earlier novels with such success that having finished the book, one just wants to open it up and read it again."

X-ray Artist

I've seen this artist's work before, but I couldn't remember his name. Fortunately I stumbled across one of his images and can now tell you about it. He's a "photographer" who does shots of plant life + via x-ray. It's really cool. Gorgeous in fact. Ingenius. I love those people who discover new ideas like this! http://www.xray-art.com/
