Okay last Tangled related video – I PROMISE !

I know, I know, I’m probably going overboard with this whole Tangled business but I HAVE TO show you this.  It’s a bit odd, but I guess it sure needs talent to pull this off…

More late night blogging…

Sorry guys, I’m bombarding you with all my silly thoughts and ramblings.  I’m just a bit bored and it’s too late to start any new project soooo I think I’ll just sit here and write another blog.  Feel free to skip through this one.

Meh.  So when I’m not on the computer, or in front of the TV, or at the sewing machine I’m most probably reading.  And I’ve been doing a bit of holiday reading lately so I thought I’d recommend a book series for you guys since we’re known to recommend things from time to time.  Dear readers, let me introduce to you The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare.  It was actually my mother who told me to read these, and I was kind of shocked after I read them that she actually enjoyed it.  Wait, that’s not making it sound any good…  Let me start again.  It’s REALLY good.  I’m into all that supernatural kind of stuff with demons and angels and vamps and lycanthropes – anything BUT ghosts.  Ghosts just freak me out a little.  And this series kind of just hit the bulls eye with me (does that even make sense?).

So basically, it’s this contemporary story set in New York.  It follows Clary, a 15/16 year old girl who suddenly finds herself leaving her human, otherwise known as ‘mundane’, life and finding herself amongst vampires, warlocks, lycanthropes, faeries (who aren’t all as nice as you’d think) and other weird and wonderful creatures, but most importantly the Nephilim.  These are something like the offspring of angels and humans – it’s all a bit confusing as to what they are.  So Clary finds out she’s got this destiny to fulfil and has to save the ehh, society of Nephilims I guess, from the big evil guy.  Kind of typical good over evil type thing.  BUT that’s not the juicy part!  There’s like this kind of, incestual (is that even a word?) twist to the story where Clary falls in love or something or rather and then there are parts of the story that just make you want to rip the book apart and burn it.  But I can’t really elaborate on that without spoiling the story so I guess I’ll just have to leave it to you guys to read…  At the moment there are three books in the series, City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass and I think another one is coming out later this year.  It’s good.  DON’T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.

And while I’m at it, I might as well tell you another series to read – The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins.  I don’t know if we’ve ever mentioned that on here before but that is a DEFINITE have to have to have to.  I swear, those are the best books I’ve read in a while.

And, if you ship the whole Bella/Edward thing they’ve got going on (LOL the first instalment of Breaking Dawn comes out this year…) then you should read Hush, Hush, Becca Fitzpatrick.  It’s not entirely the same, but it kind of achieves the same idea of forbidden love and man wanting to kill girl kind of thing with stalker thing as well but in a hell of a lot less time.  I guess you could say it was a decent read.  No vamps in this one, just Nephilim and fallen angels.  Cute story, just a bit tooo Twilighty for me.

And if you want something that involves no supernatural (I’m craving some Supernatural right now…) elements then maybe you should read The Uninvited, Tim Wynne Jones.  I bought it thinking that it involves some sort of ghost or something – yes I said I hate ghosts but I was on holiday and I needed something cheap to read – instead it’s this weird, creepy story that kind of finishes with you thinking ‘what thaaa…’.  Don’t know why I’m even recommending it to you guys.  Maybe I’m not.  Or maybe I’m just bored.

And that is all I can come up with at the top of my head right now. 

I need to learn how to sleep.

Speaking of Youtubers….

I thought I’d tell you again how much I love that new Disney film ‘Tangled’, just because it embodies everything Disney romances are known to be – you know, you get that ‘awwww’ (I can’t think of any other way to describe it) feeling in the end because everybody lives happily ever after.  You know what I’m talking about right!?

And so, about an hour ago I bought – yes, BOUGHT, as in paid $1.79 (of course it wasn’t my money, but still…) – the track I See The Light (I posted it before somewhere down there).  And it’s been playing on repeat ever since.  Me and my sister  My sister and I have this thing where if we like a song we’ll play it over and over again – kind of like the Michael Buble playlist that’s been playing since Christmas 2009 (I am still utterly in love with his voice).  But anyway, this blog isn’t about Michael Buble – it’s about how much of an awesome sister I am, you’ll see, I’ll get to the point sometime later. 

So a few moments ago, I overheard my sister on the piano trying to figure out the song, she’s usually pretty good at that kind of stuff, but I thought I’d help her out a bit (I’m so kind.) and try find the sheet music or chords or something.  No. Such. Luck.  I saw it coming, I mean, the movie’s only been out a few months… But anyway, I came across this guy right here – there’s something about really good piano playing that I can just listen to over and over again. 

Is it just me, or is this just the prettiest thing you’ve heard?

On an entirely, yet not so different note, I’ve been spending my days pretty wisely lately, no sims, no dragon age, less than 5 hours in front of the TV each day, waking up before 1, you know, wise time using stuff.   Nah I’m just kidding, serious now, I’ve been BOOK COVERING, amongst other little things.  I dunno, I thought I’d share it with you guys, get your creative juices ehh, doing what creative juices do (pumping?) – you know, some inspiration to go do your own thing.  Oh yes, and this is where I tell you why I’m such an awesome sister.  I covered my little sister’s books too.   “Yeaah big deal it just duraseal” you might be saying.  Yeah well STFU, just wait till you see these…

Okay, so that’s 4 ringbinders, and 15 books/refills, all completely unique and done by me (:  that’s $20 worth of comics – ALL DC – a 10m long roll of duraseal and maybe some dog fur stuck in there too....  It actually took me HOURS.  I think my sister just pretends that she doesn’t know how to do things so that she can get out of helping out.  Buuuut, I don’t mind I guess.  I think I’m a bit of a perfectionist anyway when it comes to these sort of things so it’s better with her out of the way. Oh, and she pays me.  In fact, it was her money I used to buy the song – but shhhh, that wasn’t part of the deal.

And you’ll see there my three case things.  I’d discovered a new way to make things so I’ve been going all out and making things.  Actually, I could possibly even do commissions… Maybe.  I dunno, mail me and I’ll see..  Here’s a close up.  Totoro’s belly is actually made up of fleece so it’s all furry ^^.  The rest is made out of calico – kind of like a thin canvas/cottony type material.

Sorry, this is an incredibly long post.  I’m too lazy to split it in half.  But yeah, this is pretty much what I do all day. everyday.  :3

Vlogbrothers

So guys, guess what??  Pink kryptonite temporarily turns Superman gay.  Who knew??

How do I know this?  Because I have a ridiculous amount of spare time that I use to google random stuff, usually related to DC superheroes cuz it's the obsession that my life currently revolves around.  I think the thing about holidays is everything kinda gets skewed and out of perspective, well it does for me anyways.  For example, right now the issue causing me the most stress is trying to decide whether to watch Smallville, Superman and Batman: Apocalypse, or The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnarssus tonight.  Or I could go WAY out there and read instead.

And yes I realise that this all makes me life seem a little sad but hey, all this googling means I rock at quizzes.

Also i'm working on a little animation to commemorate the start of our blog so look forward to that...you know, in five months time.

On a completely different note, you should check out the vlogbrothers on Youtube.  These guys are amazing!!  Hank and John Green - the idols of my inner nerd which really isn't that 'inner'

Zachary Levi sings–MY MIND IS BLOWN.

I know I said that you wouldn’t be hearing from me in a while – it’s been an hour since I posted that.  And in that space of time I’ve been on Youtube listening to Zachary Levi sing.

For those of you who don’t know, Zachary Levi is Chuck and he is Flynn Ryder/Eugene in the new Disney movie Tangled.  He’s got a singing part in the movie and it’s actually AMAZING.  You know, Amazing like puppies being born type stuff.  Seriously, I NEVER KNEW HE COULD SING!  It’s hard to imagine Chuck singing right!? Okay so I thought I’d spare you the pain and here are a few videos..

Okay, so his voice is officially added to the list of men with beautiful voices – currently standing at 4: Michael Buble (WOAH DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING), Darren Criss, Jensen Ackles and of course Zachary Levi.

And why not throw in GiFS of each of them just cause I can.  I told you I find uses for them.

Seven hours of Smallville? PSHH that’s nothing..

Okay, so maybe I’m not as much of a know-it-all when it comes to Smallville compared to Bronwynter (oh golly, I just remembered, I still have to upload that “art portfolio” of us four… soon.), but I’ll admit, I’m pretty knowledgeable in the area.  I mean, who isn’t, when they’ve pretty much grown up staying late on Friday nights watching Smallville?  I don’t know why they have to air it at 11:00 at night D; oh the trouble.

And for those of you silly people out there who have not a clue about what we’re talking about – Smallville is pretty much the life before Superman was Superman, if that makes any sense.  It’s got Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Justin Hartley (OM NOM NOM) as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and GUESS WHAT!? It has Jensen Ackles in it for a bit too (: (check seasons 3/4… that’s off the top of my head so I’m not ENTIRELY sure about the season  3 part.)

Anyway, for those of you who are REALLY silly and don’t know who he is – let me grace you with his angelic face ^^ (I'm totally fangirling)

This comes from my folder of GIFS where somehow I’ve accumulated at least 250 images – I somehow find uses for them.  That second one is the wallpaper on my phone.

I should probably tell you how awesome he is in his main TV series Supernatural.  But it’s 9:43am and technically I should be sleeping.

Don’t be expecting much from me in the next few weeks.  I’m kind of busy with sleeping, and Sims playing (I accidentally lent my Dragon Age cd so that’s out of the question), baking cakes and reading.  OH THE JOY.

Oh well, I’m OUT.

Seven hours of Smallville.........still going

You know you should never eat corn on a cob while you're on the computer...just in case accidentally spray corn juice all over the computer screen.  Just a heads up
