Turning Children’s Drawings to Toys by Child’s Own Studio

Remember all that crazy shit you drew as a kid? True story: when I was but a wee lad I was fond of drawing bones with wings on them. There was a whole family of them. Why? Who the hell knows, kids are weird! But how awesome would have been if a cool company like this existed: where they take children’s drawings and convert them to real world toys. Maybe one day my Flying Bones with faces can get the same treatment. Check out tons more at their flickr

I find these toys really creepy.

these are pretty amazing!

Kyra is so excited that I’m watching Supernatural that she’s compiling a list of her favourite fics for me to read when I’m all caught up,

she even told me that she’ll narrow it down when I decide who I ship.

Bless Kyra, and bless all my friends who understand being a massive fandork; I love you all, keep this aspect of yourselves constant.

kyra, why do you clearly love shanni so much more than me?

Paper Townsby John Green

i worried through the whole book that john green was either going to make me cry or disappoint me. i won’t comment on the crying (could be a spoiler) but i was not disappointed. it was real in all the ways fiction should be.

Told my friend at work I didn’t own a record player.
He revoked my hipster cred.

Told him I owned a portable typewriter.
Hipster cred reinstated.

“portable typewriter” becomes such an oxymoron once you’ve owned a laptop though.

“ When Jack kisses Rose and the Doctor goodbye, John Barrowman made a special effort to kiss both actors in exactly the same way… except on one take, when he kissed Billie Piper as usual, then said his line to Christopher Eccleston, started the kiss, and didn’t stop until they fell on the floor. ”

The Finder Library Vol. II by Carla Speed McNeil

the art and story were both just as good as volume one, although probably darker. also a bit more disjointed, presumably since readers have a better sense of the world now. it’s like trying to look at something too big to take in: you don’t want to pull away from the part you’re looking at, but you also want to see it in relation to this other thing over here.
