Uhhh.

Who knew that paint curdles?! Not me. This lovely surprise was waiting for me as I opened my tub of fluorescent pink poster paint.


It looks like a bad science experiment. Hey. Maybe this is how they make slime/gunge (?). I've been madly stirring it, trying to get it all nice and paint-like consistency again, but to no avail.

Does anyone know? Has this paint gone past the point of no return?

Bean Boozled

I warn you. This is a post on jelly beans.

My friend Libby and I visited an awesome candy store last Friday. I was feelin' brave and bought a pack of Jelly Belly beans called "Bean Boozled". It has some crazy flavours. And I mean Bertie Botts' Every Flavour Beans crazy. Booger, Rotten Egg, Mouldy Cheese, and Vomit are just some of them. Here is what I thought of the gross/weird ones:

Booger: Almost tasteless. A little sweet-and-salty, though. Really weird flavour.

Toothpaste: Mmm, very nice, felt like I'd brushed my teeth. Haha. I would eat this jelly bean again.

Rotten Egg: Yuck. Sulphuric and sweet (what the what what!?).

Buttered Popcorn: Felt like I was at the movies! Haha, it really did taste like popcorn. Wonder how they make all these flavours!

Vomit: Stomach-churning-ly repulsive. Euck! I got the acidic (don't really know how else to explain it) taste of vomit, and I had to spit it out. I'm dreading eating one again.

Mouldy Cheese: Oh God. I could almost smell the mould. :S

Black Pepper: The jelly bean contained black pepper. 'twas alright.

Baby Wipes (?!): Imagine smelling baby powder. Then imagine eating it.

Pencil Shavings: Alas! I didn't get this flavour in my pack. Maybe next time?

Test

Juuust testing out this typeface. After years of using Trebuchet, I think I'm now leaning towards using Courier for this blog. I don't know. You really don't have to read this, because I'm just writing to fill up some text space.

Gosh golly, isn't it a nice day? This here is a photo of Muir Woods, from the U S of A. Why is this photo here? Well, just because.

And, as I've never actually been to Muir Woods, there is no way that that photo is mine. I took it. From here.

p.s.: Did I really post this post at exactly 11:11AM? Well, no. No, I didn't. Did I schedule this post? Why yes. I sure did.

Constellation bedroom

I want this room.

Disney sweatshirts!

Waaant! :D (from Forever21)

Re-reading Harry

Just a random fact, but starting from the 1st of September*, I have started re-reading a chapter of Harry Potter every day. I want to find out if I pick up things differently (I'm sure I will) now that I know the whole story. I hadn't read the books since Deathly Hallows came out. 

p.s.: Humm, yes, I meant to read the LotR before reading Harry Potter, and well, I got through half of the Fellowship of the Ring, and the rest, uhh it's just not happening at the moment. Maybe I'll pick it up in the hols.

*September 1st because it's the start of the new school year for "Hogwartians".

Gilded Glass

Okay so I have a slight obsession with shiny metallic gold things, and when I saw these, I wanted them very much (but had absolutely no need for them):

And guess what. Today I came across a Martha Stewart tutorial to get the same gilded glass effect. Yay! It's not as shiny looking as the one in the photo, but I'm not complaining. Bookmarking it as a holiday project. I need time to work on my assignment for now. :-)

Primulas

I think I'll have to get some Primula's for my bedroom... I had them when we first moved here, and I found having plants in my bedroom tremendously calming and just very nice. I felt less lonely while cooped up in my room doing assignments, and watering them was so therapeutic!

Here's a photo of my Primula's:

Hot pink washi tape,

you are mine :D

p.s.: It does make for a rather peculiar pen stand!! Hehehe!

Gilded

Check out the "Gold Edition" line by ban.do!

And.. how about these funky gilded nails?! Crazy! I don't think I could ever wear this colour!

p.s.: Ooh, newest purchase! (not the skirt, the top!)

p.p.s.: Holy post #492!!

Cakesss

Om nom nom... :D

Harry Potter 7.2

It releases midnight tonight in New Zealand, but I'm not watching it till Saturday. How about you? Have you already seen it? Are you dressing up? I got a Slytherin t-shirt (this one, but with black background), and I might draw a scar.

Off to Transylvania!

Hehehe, I'm not talking about the country, but rather a black-light mini-golf! 

Should be fun, fun, fun (after all, it is a Friday!)!

Bubble Bees

Trying to break my own record ('twas 3880 if I remember correctly) in Bubble Bees. Fun times. XD

Of Typefaces

I hereby introduce you to my favourite new typeface—Egyptienne, by Adrian Frutiger. It is even more awesomer in italics.

The infographic is still in design-mode, although I am very happy as to where it is headed. I am currently snowed under with assignments and all-nighters, but I will come back and share my assignments in a week. 

:)

Edit: Any Lord of the Rings movie fans from Auckland? The extended versions of the movies are releasing in theatres, starting next week! Eeeee! (So are the Harry Potter movies!!)

Desperately waiting for my internet to get back to full speed so I can start posting again. :( :(

Great Britain? England? UK? HUH?

Found this via a friend on facebook. :)

Lace

I seem to be obsessed with lace lately. I think that I would like me some Lace Cups, yes.

Oh, how about lace made out of concrete?

Or a lace floor!

Would you be happy to see a lace fence?

Edit: How fun would it be to send your friends this goodie bag when they're not expecting it?! So cute!

Disney Pixar Shorts

Partly Cloudy (released with Up):

Day & Night (was nominated for an Oscar). I watched this at the theater with Toy Story 3.

And, Geri's Game (YouTube won't let me embed). Along with A Bug's Life.
