All Quiet on the Western Front...

There's actually been a lot going on here (in all ways crafty, foody, and crochet-y?), but very little blogging (as I am sure you can plainly see).  I've been working on processing some pictures for a little local photography contest.

In the mean time, enjoy this hilarious video.  I love the roly-poly crocodile the most, I think.

Cool Thing of the Day: 30 May 2012

I'm currently loving this adorable video of Lennon and Maisy Stella.



Aren't they super sweet?  I think they're super cute, and it's amazing how talented they are already.

P.S. More later on why I dropped off the grid for a month.

I made a nerdy video!

Happy Pi Day!   π ♥

I made a video for my immunology class!  Watch and maybe learn something :)



As I've said before, I love crafts+science.

Some background: Macrophages are one of the early defenders against infection in your body.  They phagocytose (or eat up) bacteria and pathogens that they find, like if you get a cut.  When the macrophage realize that your body is harboring foreign fugitives, it does its best to sound the alarm to the rest of your immune system by producing inflammatory cytokines.

I'm a little ashamed, but I secretly love bad Disney/Nick TV shows.  Like really bad shows.  I confess I'm totally into Victorious; my favorite characters are Jade West (Liz Gillies) and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande). 

I'm digging Ariana Grande's cover of Billy Joel's Vienna this week.  Perfect for studying.

Fanfare

I think this is so beautiful plus the music really makes this video. I've always wanted to learn how to dance, ballet that is.

I can't believe this is actually an ad spot for Chloe.  Well done.

Incidentally, I've been taking ballroom dance classes at our Rec Gym. It's surprisingly loads of fun.

For my generation:

Amazing. I can't believe it's all over.

Be still, my heart.

Why must he be so cute?!
Also relevant, this.

Presented without comment.

I lied, I have just one teeny comment about this.

You know what's better than a really great timelapse video?

A really great timelapse video with beautifully epic music.

Watch it full screen with HD on.

I love my coworkers.

This lovely gem was left on our lounge whiteboard. Those are days of the week magnets with a "daily agenda" written under each one. It says "kill worms" under each day except Sunday where it says "break". Reminiscent of Eddie Izzard's "Dressed to Kill" standup?

"Death, death, death, death.... lunch.... death, death, death, death.... afternoon tea...."
