Hey Oscar Wild! It's Clobberin' Time! - artists pay homage to literary figures. Some of these are just amazing!! And others, I totally didn't expect to see - like work by Dave McKean (and contrary to what one may think, he didn't draw Neil Gaiman).
Links for Tuesday (and anybody else)
Oct. 15th, 2010 07:04 pmFirst, the most important link:
- A Love Story Told in Reverse by notragicmercury, illustrated by me. It's a great fic, and I'm not saying that because I'm biased. Okay, so my bias forms a smidge of my opinion.
Why I love this fic? It has a believable version of Dean/Cassie! It has Cassie! Being awesome! (I loved Cassie, okay?) And Cas! Being Cas! Also, the relationships in this seem realistically complicated enough.
Aaand, everything else:
- Mad Men theme....with a twist by Videos Recorded Live. This is the second best version of "Nature Boy" that I've ever heard (Nat King Cole's is still No. 1).
- Raske Menn - They're a Norwegian comedy trio, whose humor ranges from crude to absurd. And yes, they always perform in those shorts. Here's a couple vids (all subtitled):
- CastielxScissors - a cute fanart by Whisperelmwood
- Iceland Cube - by koinogenki. A cute illustration of facts about Iceland.

The Airport Train (Flytoget) - A bit absurd, like Monty Python.
History of the World in Five Minutes - I now know that Thor Heyerdahl arrived before Lief Erikson in his fantastic boat, Kon Tiki 5.
- CastielxScissors - a cute fanart by Whisperelmwood
- Iceland Cube - by koinogenki. A cute illustration of facts about Iceland.
Recs: Sexy webcomicky goodness
Sep. 12th, 2010 09:25 pmWarning: A few comics might be - okay are - triggery. And NSFW. If you go to the archive, the artist is awesome enough to sort of vaguely give warnings on level of work-safeness. (Triggers, however...The worst is dub con that straddles the border of non-con and rides it like a rodeo cowboy)
Oh, Oglaf, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1) The art is so amazing and well-drawn that it makes me weep with joy and jealousy.
2) It's a sexy fantasy comedy/parody. Originally, it was an exercise in pornography for the artist, but it became a sex comedy, in which the women are FIERCE and the men are, well, dippy. (the Mistress - ZOMG I love her the best!)
3) How the artist is a woman, because until I hunted down an interview, I thought that the artist was male, based on the types of jokes and the type of women being drawn. That a woman is drawing/writing this fills me with glee, because it means that there really are more women out there who enjoy this level of raunchiness.
4) Cumsprites.
5) The Epilogues, which are sort of hard to miss in the sidebar, because there's not many, and it's a lighter font than other text.
6) The 404 page. It's too frickin' adorable.
ETA: I forgot! Xoan Ambassador/Ivan? I totally ship it now ;A;

One fic, two vid recs
Jul. 7th, 2010 10:21 pmThe Hanged Man by Mithrigil. Sort-of Tokyo Babylon AU fic based around the premise of Tokyo Babylon being set in London. Amaaaazing AU goodness ;A; This fic has sent me on an X binge. And there might have been X fanart that resulted from this. Uhhh, oops.
Which reminds me: I'm still slowly working on all those prompts I received.
Tightrope by Janelle Monae. The more I read or see of Janelle Monae, the more I like her :D
Furry Walls by Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from Get Him to the Greek. Out of the two movies I saw last week (Get Him to the Greek and Eclipse), I enjoyed Greek much more. Actually, I liked the movie for two things: it's soundtrack (which pokes fun at rock and pop) and Sean Combs. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody on my dreamroll, unless they're specifically looking for stupid humor and buddy comedies a la Judd Apatow, but not quite (it's not a bromance and it's a spin-off of a movie that Apatow produced), but the soundtrack is a thing of beauty (except for "African Child (Trapped in Me)", which is just DDDDDD: in an intentional way).
Also, I want SPN vid for "Furry Walls".

Unrelated: my girlfriend is amazing ;A;

One woman with disability's horrific account of how United Airlines treated her on a recent trip.
United Airlines responds via Twitter. Very PR-like response.
I encourage people to post the first link, spread the news. Can't stop the signal :)

Holy hell. Today reached 85 degrees. 85 muthafuckin' degrees. In northern Indiana. INDIANA, FOLKS. FORT WAYNE, IF YOU WANT TO BE MORE SPECIFIC. Last year around this time, we were only in the 40's. Granted, last April was cold. However, the normal highs for April (in FW) seem to be from the 50's to the high 60's. None of this 85 degree Fahrenheit shit! Fort Wayne 2009 temperature chart thingie
(and the wind is blustery, which is normal, and it feels really nice. however, I cannot feel that niceness in my car, unless I roll down my windows, and then it's only an annoyance)
It was a good day, though. My insurance cards came in the mail (heeeee - insurance, I can has!); it's not the greatest coverage, but I'm a relatively healthy person, so my needs for health care are only basic (doctor visits, maybe prescriptions, etc). Living a year without insurance was a pain in the ass, even though my health was great.
I picked up the new Dresden Files book, Changes. I have yet to crack it open.
And then I discovered Archivers - a store aimed at bored women who decide to make scrapbooks and memory books. I have an interest in neither, but they do carry interesting patterned paper that I can use as covers to journals *_* Shiny journals, which I can peddle for moneys. Maybe. Or as shiny gifts to shiny people.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
everysecondtuesday can back me on how awesome a handmade journal is as a gift.
So happy journal-making fun tiems and reading will ensue....some time.
Have a link! It's shiny and lolarious :D I snagged it frombookshop LJ. Rodney McKay's RateMyProfessor Profile. (contributing is fun :D)
