Nerd Fitness AND Hunger Games make up tutorial

So today is my day off because I work on Saturday (*hint hint* Come visit me!), so I am blogging to you from the comfort of my home while Rumples McTavish sleeps (shhhhh, she got out last night and it freaked her out a bit so let's let her get some rest).*

Anyway, I'm writing to you from my zebra striped couch to tell you that the vlogbrothers have made a few new fantastic videos. Not that all of their other videos aren't fantastic, I just thought you would all appreciate these.

First John Green (nerdfighter, and author of Paper Towns, Looking for Alaksa, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and An Abundance of Katherines) helps us work out. The Nerd Way.

And guys, I'm not ashamed to admit that I participated along with this video (though I'm really bad at sit ups), so you should too!

And, to fulfill a bet, and to celebrate the release of Mockingjay, Hank Green (@ecogeek, nerdfighter, and brother to John Green) shows us how to apply make up for "District 12 look."

I did not participate in this one, because I was too busy giggling..

Which video did you like best?

*For those of you not in the know, Rumples McTavish is my hamster. She is awesome.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Raven Cycle Fan Art!

So. The inimitable Maggie Stiefvater created a deck of tarot cards based on her Raven Cyle series and she's holding a contest to give away 10 decks of them. Keith decided he couldn't do anything worthy but he thought I could. Since I'd just completed a project using acorns, I thought: "Hey, I could make The Acorn Boys!" And Keith's response was: "You were put on this earth to make Acorn Boys." And so, I present to you, The Acorn Boys based on The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. First we have our heroine Blue Sargent, daughter of psychics but no psychic herself. She reminds her mom of the Page of Cups and gets called Blue Lily by a crazy lady (I chose a Calla lily because I like them better than the other kind, plus I love Calla). She is known for her DIY style and short, dark hair. I made up the rest of her face because there isn't a ton of description about it, but we know she's tiny because she didn't eat her vegetables. ...
