Haven't done one of these in a while. Mixed bag, as usual. XD Pick and choose according to your mood!

- The Longest Journey and happy lesbians. Considering that my favorite gamer blog takes their name from a place in this game, I am kind of really wanting to play this now.

- Mexican American pulp. Interesting article! Love Beyond Victoriana.

- Turn old cigarette lighters into motorcycles! Little ones.

- Pancho Barnes, another awesome aviatrix. Because Amelia might be awesome, but she's not the only one. ^^

- Monster Tale for the DS. ADORABLE FEMALE PROTAGONIST. Want this game.

- Delicous alternatives. For those of you paranoid. I already use Evernote, AND Delicious, so.

- The Hearing Trumpet: Surrealism and Old Ladies. Now THIS is definitely going on my reading list.

- We are all cyborgs now. Interesting TED talk.

- Lazy double knot that's great for terrible winter hair. Well, provided you've got straight or wavy hair like mine. ([personal profile] seventhe, I think this would work with yours)

- Tokenism: why almost isn't enough. This is like a lot of discussions we have at work about what to avoid with game characters. And even at my workplace the developers don't get it sometimes. And omg I'm not the only one that was uncomfortable with Cho Chang's characterization. (Edit: Hilariously, I typo-d "Tolkenism" at first for this link... this is very telling).

- Best of Bootie mashups. XD

- Why I Didn't Delete Tiger Beatdown. Or why I'm kind of glad that I don't have a large audience, and admire the whole Beatdown crew that much more. Also, I want the shirt sans arrow.

- The continuing adventures of New Dress a Day. Yeah, when I do some more refashions I might contribute.

Let's talk about some games and books I've finished recently!

Pretty spoiler free, as in I will mention a tone of an ending or a random detail but not WHAT happens.

So I finished Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and Back to the Future Episode 1 because apparently I am into games with time travel themes right now )

I also just finished all of the Princess Series by Jim C. Hines that is currently out )

Now to get back to the next Vorkosigan book, in which Miles is currently in a climate much like mine is right now (aka FREEZING)!
