Today I was vegging around the internet as I'm apt to do and discovered a site showcasing a few great creative adverts.  I wanted to share some of my favorite with you!

What? 2 Deal Days in a row? Sorry guys, I just couldn't help myself.  Not with the sexyness of this bed. I love it!

I've been toying with featuring one of the blogs I follow in some small way.  Ms. Domo Roboto saved me the trouble of looking too far :)

Why, you ask? Because I love to play games. Particularly on my iPhone.  Particularly Plants. vs. Zombies. The lovely lady @ Ms. Domo Roboto enjoys crochet projects.  Most recently, she shared this:

Do you see the awesomeness? Because that right there is awesome. Really, how much more awesome needs to be produced? Go visit her. GO NAO!

Bit late here with the Easter greetings, but there you go! Hope everyone had a great weekend and that you've all enjoyed Easter this year (and not gorged too hard on chocolate eggs!)

Let's face it: we all have knick-knacks. Little gifts, items, and things close to our hearts & memories that we just can't bear to part with. I should know, I'm drowning in mine. Here are just a few of mine to showcase!

Show everyone your collection of knick-knacks! And grab a button to boot:

Her post about the many contents to be found in her purse spurred me to try it myself (though I have to admit my purse is not as awesome as hers). So without further ado, try to contain your excitement:

1. My CyberDog Wallet: Bought this awesome wallet while in England with the Labcoat.  We got to visit one of the coolest stores I've ever been to!

2. I'm Rich in Spirit: Yeah, Monster money, right there.

 3. Skittles Chap Stick: Strawberry Flavor.  It's delicious.

4. The Sonic Keychain: I have keys like!whoa, apparently. Sonic Screwdriver!

5. Amber Scorpion: Yes, that is a real teeny-weeny scorpion encased in amber.  A gift from my dad a few years back when he came back from one of his tours of duty.

 6. Nuka-Cola Lighter: Why yes, I am an enormous nerd! :D

 7. My iPod Touch: Ah, beloved "Doc", how could I ever get by without you? Now that I know your tender, Apple-infested touch, truly I need no other.  Also, yes, that is Batman.  Fighting a shark.  With a light-saber.  Badum-Tish!

8. So Many Pens: Huh...yeah, I don't even know.  I have many pens.  Then I forget those pens and I add more.  Then I forget those.  It's funny how it works.

  And just in case you wanted to listen to her snore, live:

Hell Bunny line.  The girl isn't me, but the dress was a gift from the BF when we visited England ♥

Canada is a pretty green place! Took a walk with the BF yesterday at a local nature park/preserve: it has a variety of birds & squirrels and you can't walk through without hearing something from any and every direction!

...it would be pretty creepy to walk around here at night D:

Well...not really.  But it was just such a colorful little donut!

Mmmm...donut

I hate to admit that as far as staying fit goes, I've never been very good at staying to regiment.  I know I should eat healthy, exercise moderately each day, maybe have a stretch first thing in the morning, I know all this...I just can't be bothered.  Maybe it's my lack of will, or interest, or genuine commitment, but there was always something in the way of my success!

Sundays are pretty low key for most of us.  Today I went on a walk with my awesome boyfriend and decided to make Sundays my new, 'Sunday Snapshot' day.  So every Sunday (if I'm not to lazy) I will take random snapshots of fun/interesting things locally.

I really need to make a few more custom My Little Ponies.  I made the "Reaper" pony (inspired by the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy cartoon) some time ago and found the process a bit hard, but still pretty fun.  Here's the picture I took of the finished Reaper-pony:


I also decided to try my hand at some dress designing.  I have absolutely zero experience in anything remotely professional, so don't blame me for the utter oddness of the designs!

Now...I'm not going to spoil Tangled for people who haven't seen it, but I have to admit: as far as Disney death scenes go, this has one of the most disturbing ones.  Disney has dabbled in freaky deaths before, but it was always more implied to be a horrible death than anything.


Sure, Gaston plummeted to his death at the end of Beauty & The Beast and Clayton snaps his neck at the conclusion of Tarzan, but we don't get to see it happen in all its child-scarring glory. Although...I'm not really complaining.  Heck, a little childhood scarring can build character.  Still, it's just a bit off-putting in a Disney movie to see the act...well, in the act.

So I happened to be visiting my family for a few days when I noticed an issue of Cosmo being pulled from the mailbox.  I didn't think too much on it at the time.  I don't hate women/beauty/fashion magazines or anything like that, but I don't follow them whatsoever (being hopeless uncool and all).

It wasn't until a little later, reading a particular article on Cracked about the 7 Psychotic Pieces of Relationship Advice that the name popped up again.  And again.  Then some more.

Wow, Cosmo, thought I.  You just...cannot be serious.

I was digging through some of my photography the other day (stuff I keep because I either genuinely like it or because it's good enough for stock) and ended up looking through a few animal shots.  So I decided to take three of my favorites.  The funny thing is they were all done with my terrible digital camera of yesteryear.  Also known as my "stand still for 78 seconds!" era.

I love my new camera ♥ I also love my boyfriend for giving it to me.  Seriously.  It is a sexy, sexy camera, friends.  Sexy.

The first two were taken about two years ago while in Egypt.  The first was taken on a street in Cairo. By the way, The Egyptian Museum was amazing! :) The third was taken at Warwick Castle in the UK.

After spending the better time of a week browsing blogs, I must admit I became thoroughly hooked on the idea of blogging.  I'm pretty spread out internet-wise anyway, so a blog to connect with sounds pretty nice.  I'm also of tired of LiveJournal after so many years and I hardly ever post there anymore.


On to introductions: I'm 27 years old, I live in the Greater Toronto Area and I like to do a bunch of things.  Mainly draw: Check out my Deviantart if you like, write: my published horror/romance series, The One Who Waited, write funny articles for Cracked:

8 Scary Japanese Urban Legends
10 Bizarre Japanese Mythological Creatures
6 Awesome Facts About Black Holes
6 Most Disturbing Written Works

I also manage a secondary blog, App-O-Plectic, where I post daily reviews of some of the more useful, unique, or awesome (Free!) iTunes applications available!

Whenever I find the time, I also enjoy doing cynical video reviews of Horror/Fantasy/Science Fiction films at Video UnReel


I also like to fool around with photography a little bit, mostly snapshots when I travel or see something interesting.  Here, have one:
