crankyoldmanWell, here's my latest compile of stuff.
- African Fabrics: The History of Dutch Wax Prints
- Furniture from recycled plane parts. Considering I had to cut apart old plane parts for a project in school, I seriously wish I got to keep some to make a badass table.
- Free and discounted ebooks on Amazon
- Allergen and viral filters for your nose. Hrm....
- Another Jay on Earth. Jay-Z and Brian Eno mashup album. I'm kind of into Jay-Z mashups. My favorite is still Jaydiohead (Radiohead + Jay-Z). It makes Radiohead listenable (blasphemy, I know).
- Things Starbuck Wouldn't Say
- Mars Curiosity Rover. So cool.
- Online dating lingo mapped out.
- Interview with Ron Moore of BSG.
- Carny love.
- Tomboy style blog.
- Isabelle Eberhardt: BADASS
- Black Girl Gamer: In Existence! I love Borderhouse. I get all my game news there now.
- Angled nesting shelves. I personally get tired of straight lines sometimes. XD
- Iceland apparently has a tumblr. I'm amused.
- Top 20 retailers that offer free shipping
Includes video of the genderswapped Justice League that I am mildly obsessed with. I'm a little gay for PowerBoy. Also Superma'am and Batma'am are my OTP.
Achievements:
- Finished all the charity aprons and mailed them off. Now to get back to cosplay. I've got Drak's Toph cosplay hanging around in pieces, and I need to put the zipper and do the finishing work on my sister's graduation dress. I think I may need to actually get a zipper foot, I've managed to fake it pretty well without one, but I don't want my perfectionist sister complaining. Time to troll eBay.
- Finished Back to the Future: The Game Episode 3. Absolutely ADORE punk Jennifer, beyond words. She's so adorable. Enjoyed where the plot went, still kind of fangirling. Only bad thing is I stayed up until 3 am last night finishing it. XD
- I have a futon. Apparently the one that my parents have they're willing to just let me have. So that's more furniture I don't have to buy. So far I've got: a dining table and chairs (aka: sewing table and chairs xD), a recliner, a sewing machine that doubles as a table, a dresser, and now a futon. Also shelves, but I've always had copious shelves, from all the moves I've done. They're for the most part foldable too. I am pleased with how mobile most of the stuff I'm taking to the apartment is.
- Been slowly bringing some things to work (toys mostly) since I have a lot more places to put them and it'll make moving easier. XD
- Oh and I made some FFIV icons.
Grinding:
- Going to tackle my book and CD collection soon, see what I could stand to get rid of. I own a decent amount of books; I wouldn't say too many though. Most of the books I seem to hold onto are mythology related or beautiful hardbacks or things like that. I actually don't have a terrible amount of paperbacks. Still, I should probably cull some for the move. I'll be putting them up on here for grabs, as usual, before I find other ways to pass them on.
- Then it's on to my inherited kitchen stuff collection. I have a LOT of junk in there due to my mom giving me all the crap she didn't want in her kitchen anymore. That's pretty much going straight to Goodwill.
- I need to bring the artwork I want to frame to work with me, so that when I have time I can walk over to the place near here and see what it'll cost to frame some of it. This place uses reclaimed stuff for their frames, so I know it'll be a little pricier than going to Michael's, but I like what they do and these are some of my favorite artworks (my huge beautiful Veld with the phoenix picture, and several of my convention scores). Also apparently my mom bought me a huge (and I mean huge) print of this Audrey Hepburn picture. Which box is framed already, thankfully. I think I've got the maximum amount of Audrey artwork I can put on the walls now, though (two large posters, this print, about three small prints, and a smaller metal replica of the Breakfast at Tiffany's poster... what can I say, I think she's lovely).
- omg I have so much paperwork stacked up under my desk that needs to be gone through. ._. I have a nifty plastic container for hanging files which somehow... got forgotten about. But at least I won't need a filing cabinet if I actually sort through that stuff.
- FFEX fic, which is coming along nicely. Need to make sure to scope it properly. Anyone want to volunteer to be my beta already? I'll let you see the gdoc. ^^
If I do this right, the whole Otakon and then moving right after it won't be too painful. Thankfully I've kept my stuff either boxed or within specific areas of the house.
