Happy Halloween! My last two posts have been Halloween-related, but I unfortunately have nothing to add to the holiday today. Instead, I wanted to share with you…wait for it…3 things I found on the internet today! (As if you couldn’t tell from the title! 😛 ) 1. Left or right? Making choices in Snowpiercer I […]
Look at me! Did that scare you? 😉 Because it’s pretty freaky, if I may say so myself. As much as I would like to take credit for this zombie effect, I didn’t have to do any work to achieve the ghoulish look (unless you call clicking on some buttons “work”). So no, there will be […]
If you do a Google Image Search on “creepy halloween costumes from the early 1900s,” you’ll be in for a special treat. Not really. Because they really ARE damn scary. Especially the ones of children. Geez, how can kids be so creepy??! So don’t look below if you’re sensitive to nightmare-inducing images. You’ve been warned. You […]
Granted, a couple of them are a stretch. But holy crap a lot of these celebrities look creepily like these historical figures! (And is it just me, or does Napoleon Bonaparte get a lot more attractive after being compared to Trent Reznor?) Christian Bale & A Civil War Soldier: Keanu Reeves & Paul Mounet: Michael Douglas & George […]
I’m not sure exactly why I find these charts — depicting the various subjects and categories that turn people on and how they differ between men and women — so interesting. Well, duh it’s related to sex so it’s naturally intriguing. But I think for me, the science and research behind human attraction has always been captivating […]
I’m really enjoying the Every Frame a Painting series from Tony Zhou! Last week, I shared with you his analysis of David Fincher’s brilliant directorial techniques. Today, I bring you a similar video that dissects a famous scene from Silence of the Lambs. This one’s less than 3 minutes long, so take a look if you didn’t watch the […]
Close your eyes. Now, imagine your favorite vintage portrait. Is it of Jean Harlow? Audrey Hepburn? Vivien Leigh? Marilyn Monroe? No matter who, there’s a very good chance that the famous portrait engrained so deeply in your mind was “photoshopped.” Not in the modern sense, but by using film photography techniques from bygone decades. When […]
A few weeks into pre-k, Claire began to tell me about a new friend. “Umma, JJ and I played hide-and-go-seek today!” “Umma, JJ is so silly and funny.” “Look, umma! JJ made me this drawing!” I soon discovered that JJ was a kindergartener (so about a year older than Claire) whose Korean name initials are JJ. Whenever […]
Three thoughts come to mind when viewing this infographic by the folks over at Personal Creations: I’m predicting Groot will be just as popular as Elsa this Halloween. zOMG I totally remember how everyone — especially guys — dressed as Britney Spears back in 1999! 1990 was TWENTY-FOUR years ago?!?? Via Geeks Are Sexy. You may also […]
For today’s edition of “interesting stuff I found on the web,” cartoonist James Chapman shares with us an illustrated guide to what popular TV shows are called around the world. I think I’d much rather watch a show called “In the Shoes of Satan” than plain ol’ “Breaking Bad,” wouldn’t you? Or how about “A Crazy in […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
