Made It Monday: Book Covers

Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too!

Sit back and enjoy scrolling through all the beautiful things we’ve collectively created, and celebrate the fact that humans can be awesome!

Hi Hello Yes Alive

I always plan to do too much in the holidays. ALWAYS. But oh my gosh, I hit that middle weekend and was flooded with PANIC because a bunch of the stuff I planned to do this holidays actually *needs* to be done. And then I made the mistake yesterday of listing out all my deadlines for the next five months and now I just want to crawl under the bed for a while. Except I can’t, because we recent got a new mattress but we don’t have a bed frame for it, so we’re sleeping on a mattress on the floor...

Libraries Vs Piracy and How YOU CAN GET BOOKS FREE (Look, It Just Needs To Be Said)

Late to the posting today, but better late than never.

Confluence of events:

A conversation in the library today with my seniors about how they are NOT going to download the film/s they are studying for their upcoming essay, but instead they ARE going to spring the $10-$20 to buy the friggin film through iTunes. A complaint: But I’m only going to watch the movie once! My response? Yeah, and you only eat an apple once, but I don’t see you stealing that.

A delightful, amazing facebook message t...

Why Bad Words Are Bad

So this one’s a bit of fun history & trivia for us all

>insert post here

Hi! I have no brain, being in the throes of parent-teacher interview nights (we have three of them over 8 days), marking in preparation for said nights, and quietly dying on the side. But! I’m actually doing really well with my blogging streak this year, SO HERE I AM BLOGGING ABOUT THE STUFFS.

It’s just a random compilation of things like foaming beakers and accordion chairs and… wow, okay, that marching bit it quite cool, and yeah, okay, this is bizarrely intriguing and kind of soothing. What the even. o.O

So, anyway, random compilation of random, but with such variety that there will be at least something here that makes you think, ‘Oh hey! That’s cool!’ :...
