Alice & Bob’s Proposal

One…two…three…AWWW! This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite proposal stories, the one of Chris & Esther. The original post on Xanga has since been taken down, but you can read it over here (and yes, I still tear up whenever I read it). Via Geeks are Sexy. P.S. — Did you know that […]

The Horcrux Pie Chart

Courtesy of my new favorite Tumblr blog, I Love Charts.   …I’m ashamed to admit that the first time I saw this, I wondered to myself why the chart wasn’t divided into seven equal wedges. P.S. — After another month+ of teething, Claire finally cut her third and fourth teeth today! I had given her […]

The Little Sith

An mashup of Star Wars and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince by illustrator Fabian Gonzales. I personally love the idea of Vader caring for the Death Star and its lone rose. Via Neatorma.

A Book to Keep You Cool This Summer

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but we are absolutely SWELTERING here in the NYC area. Our nanny actually got a call from her son earlier today because all the local schools were closing early due to the intense heat. As I vastly prefer the cold over the heat, I usually stay […]

Go the F**k to Sleep

I first saw this book on Boing Boing two days ago, and while I found it to be hilarious, I hesitated in sharing it here. Because as funny as I — among others — may find this book, I’m sure that there are parents out there who would find it horrifyingly inappropriate. My dark side […]

Harry Potter, Abridged [Comics]

After visiting Harry Potter: The Exhibition in person, AND knowing that the final movie is due to be released in theaters in just a couple of months, I have slowly started to re-read the entire series again (probably for about the sixth time). I don’t know what it is about J.K. Rowling, but that woman […]

That’s How!

When I was a little kid I used to dream up crazy characters and scenarios being acted out inside the wonderments of the world. Tiny artists residing inside cameras. A chorus of fairies inside musical instructions. Actors behind the boob tube. Isn’t a child’s imagination so much greater than real life? I was reminded of my innocent […]

Child’s Play: A Book Bed

In the East, it is not uncommon for people to use thin mattresses in lieu of a bed. The mattresses are folded/rolled and stored away during the day to save space. (This is, in fact, how my family slept when we lived in Korea.) Creative photographer Yusuke Suzuki has taken this concept and transformed it to […]
