CORN ICE CREAM: South Korean ice cream, sweet corn ice cream with sweet corn nibblets mixed within the ice cream. Surrounded by a layer of chocolate and rice wafers in the shape of corn. May seem weird (even to some Koreans), but its actually pretty good! *remember, you can’t judge until you’ve actually tried it!*

who are you kidding, if you’re East Asian you know that all the most really mixed up food ideas that we create are actually AMAZING

like curry donuts

and citrus hot sauce

i would eat this in a heartbeat, i bet it’s wonderful

Holy damn, that looks delicious. I was just craving sweet corn gelato the other day, at that, and I don’t know where to find any. I might have to make my own, since corn is in season and delicious.

Do not hesitate. Go to this link.

Then gaze at the book titles, and marvel.

(I don’t actually think I need to read any of them. It just makes me happy knowing they exist.)

You know, I bet I could identify the publication decade of… a lot of these books, just from their cover designs. Maybe not all, but most. (My parents are both bibliophiles; I’m a spreadsheet-o-phile. Guess who got to do the cataloguing? *g*)

Am I the only one who thinks that, say, “Building a Fire Truck” (looks like a children’s book) and “An Intellectual History of Cannibalism” (doesn’t) aren’t that odd? I want to read those.

“How to Teach Physics to Your Dog” is not literal; it’s a physics-for-dummies-type thing with a framing of him conversing with his dog (who can talk because it’s only a framing device). I read the author’s blog on occasion, so I’ve heard of it before.

I was going to say “How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found” was a novel and also not literal, but after looking it up it seems to be a different book by the same name that is literal. Now I kind of want to read that too. (Not to actually do it, just to see what he’s got to say.)

“Hair chalking” is the latest trend in temporary hair color, and after soaking up our share of YouTube tutorials on how to fake a dip-dye with a box of pastels, you can bet we were scrounging through our leftover art class supplies ready to put a package to use. Using chalk pastels on dampened hair will result in a vivid look that easily rinses away in the shower, thanks to the powdery formula. Think of it as colored hair powder in stick form. Though pastels are prime for streaking long hair, we discovered that not only are they more vibrant on shorter locks, they’re also a lot less messy.

This wild leopard look is easy to achieve and will leave everyone wondering who does your hair! Do it on yourself,  on a friend, mix it up with a combination of colors, or think up your own pattern! Just make sure you shower before hitting the sheets, or you’ll be faced with a mess the next morning. Let’s get chalking!

You’ll Need:

  • 1 box of chalk pastels from an art supply store
  • Rubber Gloves
  • A glass of water
  • A towel

STEP 1

Wet hair with water and wrap a towel around your neck to protect your clothing. Select a bright-colored pastel for the leopard spots (we chose green).

STEP 2

Wearing your gloves, dip your finger into a glass of water and wet a desired starting point on your head. The wetter the hair, the brighter the color will be. With your colored pastel, draw a spot no more than half an inch wide on your locks. Repeat, drawing another spot of a slightly different size about one or two inches away from the first. Continue until your desired area is covered entirely in spots. Don’t worry about making perfect circles, either—spots look better slightly oblong.

STEP 3

Wet your finger and use it to dampen the hair around the edge of a green spot. Then, take your black pastel and draw a U-shape over the top of the spot. Repeat over each green spot, altering not only the size of the U-shape, but the direction it faces as well.

STEP 4

Finish the design by drawing random small black spots in open spaces.

STEP 5

Blow-dry your hair if needed, and wipe your neck or ears free of any loose pigment. Mist your head lightly with hairspray to ensure it lasts the day. To remove your design, simply wash away with shampoo.

Rock your new do’ all day and give them something to chalk about!

Look at this badass little fucker, how adorable is he?

The answer to your admittedly-rhetorical question is very. Very adorable. *nod*

you know movies like avatar where they travel to another planet and colonise it and terrorise the natives

what if there was a movie where a bunch of explorers landed on another planet

but it was more advance and they instantly got dragged to an immigration office and shouted at in a language they didnt understand and made to fill out a bunch of forms for like 6 hours and had their ship impounded until they jumped through a bunch of legal loops

I WONDER IF IT’S EVEN POSSIBLE TO GO TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP FEELING FULLY RESTED.

I REALLY FUCKING DO.

I’VE BEEN WONDERING THIS TOO.

It really is not. 

My boyfriend insists that it is.

I say he is full of lies.

Possible but rare. I think I’ve managed it a couple of times.

The worst part is only being tired upon awakening and almost never when going to bed. Clearly, 24 hours is too short a day cycle. The Munroe method (20/8 or 19/9) is too long, and has too short a sleep length. 16/10 sounds about right most of the time.

Unfortunately, I value a consistent schedule even more than I value restful sleep, and it’s impractical to move to Bajor.
