Art of the Day
Some wonderful photography and photo-manipulations with real soul.
A really nifty application for any budding writers – just copy and paste a section of your writing into the box, and it matches up your style to another author, which is fascinating (and a nice little ego boost sometimes -haha) . For example apparently I write like Douglas Adams.
Watchmen. The Saturday Morning Cartoon
I love the Watchmen, and any fans of the gritty comic (or the film) will surely find this hilarious - so many comic book heroes ended up the Saturday cartoon route.
Report: Mom Just Locked Her Door
An entertaining (and random) mock-article about a little domestic incident
Motivation of the Day
I love ‘the Berry’ – the more girl-friendly version of ‘the Chive’, essentially. So, if you like your sites with significantly less gratuitous boobage, check it out. Also, I love the Sunday brunch feature, where they show their favourite photos of the day around the net – some are beuatiful, some funny, and some utter WTF.
Some rather whimsicle and sweet superhero art - chibi tastic.

I find these just stunning. Just shows how beautiful even the smallest details are.
The classic series of Sherlock Holmes vs the Robert Downey jr Movie Sherlock Holmes. In chibi! Let the adorable battle begin.
If you haven’t seen the new 3-part BBC series yet, I encourage you to try and find it online (or look out for repeats). It’s set in modern times, written and managed by Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatis – who do some great Doctor who episodes – and stars benedict cumberbatch (who did a stunning main role in the Stephen hawking biography/drama) and martin freeman of office fame. funny, clever and vastly entertaining – it’s my newest fandom 
Here’s a funny clip from episode 3 featuring Watson and Sherlock
That’s…..That’s just scary looking.
Music of the Day
Kate Nash – Don’t You Want to Share the Guilt?

II loved My little ponies as a kid (and i’ve still not forgiven my mum for getting rid of most of them -lol) These are modified to look like all your favourite geeky characters, and I must admit for most of them the work and detail that’s gone into them is stunning. very nicely done.
Fyat
Apparently women often find bald men sexier. (heloooo Patrick Stewart! <3) So guys, please, I beseech you, NEVER try a comb over. Shave it off. shave it all off!
The Creepiest Fan Art – Hufifngton Post
I admit it. I draw fanart and like to faff around with established characters (slash *cough* slash), but some of the art out there is just creepy or competely odd. Personally mpreg creeps me the hell out (apart from that ‘junior’ film with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito – good times). Some of these are very well done, some are awful. all are a little unsettling. That said, trawl around 4chan or deviantart long enough and it gets much worse…happy freaky hunting!

Very cool cartoony fantasy art and plenty o’ dragons 
A blog dedicated to ‘man’s greatest achievement’ the beard. beard fans unite! lol
I was a bit hesitant about sticking this up since it’s mature as hell (NSFW means ‘not suitable for work’ for those not in the know), but one of my friends linked me to it and I’ve got to admit that it’s usually funny as heck.It’s a webcomic with a dungeons-and-dragons setting and strong sexual themes: innovative, funny and well drawn, and it updates every Sunday (which is somehow ironic :p)
100 underapprecaited movie quotes
Every year, the Golberg family photograph portraits of themselves and as the years go by they put them togetehr to show themselves ageing and their families growing. I don’t know what it is about ageing that is fascinating to me, but it’s beuatiful in it’s own way, and fascinating to see how people change.

I’ve really gotten back into Kate Nash recently. I know a lot of people don’t like her much, especially since she somewhat rode on the coattails of Lilly Allen’s success, but to me she still stands out as different. I adore the poetry of her lyrics for an example, and the playful edge to her music. Plus it’s darn catchy and she’d decent live.
So, here’s my favourite – an adorable and realistic little love-song that always touches me.
Another great video from Collegehumor, featuring my fave superhero.
A neat little wordpress blog giving various reviews and recommendations

I cannot describe to you how much I’d want this. Sadly i don’t need it. But for only £30 it looks pretty neat
Quote of the Day
“Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Marvellous Monday
Hello hello one and all. Following our half birthday, here’s a fab link list for you all.
I plan to start designating regular days for each topic, so you always know when the site updates will be. I’m thinking of Link-Lists Mondays, Picture Posts on Wednesdays and Reviews of Fridays.
Also , a friend at my rp group introduced me to Ogame – a scifi strategy browser game where you run/manage a galactic empire. Usually I can’t get into them (I suck at strategy) but this is actually pretty simple and satisfying. Plus it’s free – huzzah!
Biggest form of procrastination EVER.
Well, aside from writing this blog -haha

Other Side – By Pendulum
I’ve been listening to Pendulum constantly since I discovered that they were playing to Leeds festival this year (so I get to see ‘em ). I bought the new ‘immersion’ album and ‘in silco’ to go with the ‘hold your colour’ album I already had. I’ve got to say that ‘In silco’ is my favourite out of the three. Some real classics there. This is one of my favourites, which literally did not leave my head for a week after I heard it. I think I’ve exorcised it for now…just.
The Video’s pretty epic as well

A book of needlework you can read online, originally published in 1870. historically I find it fascinating, plus there’s a lot of Victorian patterns and techniques that those who like needlework (esp tatting and lacemaking) with no doubt find fascinating too.

Hacked IRL
Don’t get me wrong, graffiti is often shitty and messy. Same goes for vandalism in general. However there are times when it’s utterly awesome, and enriches the public surroundings, making a great joke, statement or art piece, and generally just celebrating the human spirit. So long as it does no harm and doesn’t cost much money, I’m all for it. So enjoy these great ‘real life hackings’, I know I did.
Incredibox
I had so much fun with this little application. I just wish there was a way to record them onto your computer as a music file. Oh well. Still worth a good few minutes fiddling about it.
Ridiculous Poses
Ahh, why is it so satisfying to see models make tits out of themselves. Poor ladies and gents. Still, while I actually like a lot of these creative poses, there’s still a hell of a lot of “WTF?!” going on, and it’s very entertaining.
‘Criminals Used to have Character’
I love both history and art, and here it comes together wonderfully, as we see the distinctive criminal characters of yesteryear. All the distinctive faces, and the way they seem to have a certain dignity lost nowadays is awesome. Very interesting stuff.
ROTFL Spiders
You’ve hear of Lolcats and Loldogs…now you have ROTFL spiders! Someone made this funny blog in response to the ‘cute’ lolanimals, and it makes me giggle, even while squirming at the spider pictures -haha

Certain individuals (you know who you are *fistshake* lol) say i’m obsessed with shoes. Personally I do my best to deny it, but it’s hard not to be obsessed with this good,bad and ugly beauties.
