I’m obsessed with…THIS PIRATE BEDROOM! « blah blah blah… I’m obsessed with…THIS PIRATE BEDROOM! <——– Take a minute and *like* my page on Facebook! Thanks! :) I think we can all agree this is the COOLEST. The home features a huge hidden slide that runs the height of the home’s staircase, and plops you into the coolest pirate bedroom ever featuring a pirate ship that floats above the bedroom, and a jail. In other news….. Here is the home’s mudroom. TA DAAAA! This is the view of walking into the bedroom. The rope bridge is connected to the top of the jail cell, built to accommodate evil doers, thieves and little sisters. I love the detailing on the bottom of the bathroom floor. Ta daaaaa! Pretty cool, right? If you liked this bedroom, you might like my post about an amazing pirate home theater! Like this: Like Loading...

Looptastic HD Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers | recipegirl.com Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers I’m not much of a camper. My husband often takes my son on camping trips, and I happily stay behind and thank the gods for our bug-free house, cozy bed and well-stocked kitchen. I always send them off in comfort… marinate a little meat for them to throw on the grill, pack up some convenience foods and bake a few goodies too. When they return from their camping weekends, I hear mostly about the evenings sitting around the campfire. Here’s the How To: Thaw out a box of Puff Pastry, and cut along the fold lines to make 6 large rectangles. Layer 1/4 of a whole graham cracker, a piece of milk chocolate bar and a spoonful of peanut butter on one side of the Puff Pastry. Wet the edges with water (dip your finger in water and gently touch along the edge), fold over the filling ingredients and press edges together. Transfer filled turnovers to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush with egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees F. until golden (about 15 minutes).

ReBirth for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad on the iTunes App Store Extraordinary Interpretation | Watch the Best Online Short Films A harmless discussion turns into serious action in this fable from Hollywood stunt man, Lin Oeding. Interpretation is a simple fable, and is satisfying in a way only a fable can be. Like other simple fables of our age (The Road Warrior, Star Wars) it entertains as tales around the bonfire once did, but with the addition of fast paced visual action. We have our reluctant hero, cruel villains, a message about life, and blood. Dan and Erica are on their way home after a movie-date through the urban jungle. They could be any couple, though better looking and more pleasant (as representatives should be). Director Lin Oeding has experience as a stunt man in a variety of projects, from the TV series Bones to The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, so it is no surprise the fight is brutal, exciting, and filled with surprises. Like in the best action films, this isn’t combat in a vacuum. Interpretation is Lin Oeding’s step toward feature action filmmaking.

In the past week, we’ve been talking over e-mails with Blake Boston, also known as Scumbag Steve on the Internets. Based on a Myspace picture of Blake taken circa 2006, the image macro series quickly thrived into everyone’s favorite joke about “that guy” who’s fading away in our memories of high school years, still blasting that mix CD out of his souped up Honda in school parking lot (even though he was expelled years ago). But in real life, Blake’s fictional internet fame has become a taxing ordeal for the soon-to-be father from Boston. Here’s the full transcript of our Q&A interview with the man. Interview Q: What is your real name, age and what are you up to these days? A: My real name is Blake Boston, I’m 21. Q: Where did the image come from? A: Those pics on Myspace are all from my mom. Q: When and how did you find out about the meme? A: Who the fuck knew what a meme was? A: A scumbag. A: Sucks man. Q: So you’re from Boston.

Good boy. With a Passion for Skateboarding: Creative Art Sculptures by Haroshi Now that’s a sick madness! If you have never heard about Japanese wood sculptor named Haroshi, go get the wind of his most original conceptual art. As a creator of amazingly beautiful wooden sculptures out of old, crashed and broken skateboard decks, Haroshi passed for a man of considerable resourcefulness. His multicolored and meticulously sculpted art pieces simply astound with lifelike affinity, so in whichever way it’s even possible to mistake them for being real! In his works he stacks many layers with all piece elements being connected either in their original form or in shapes to form wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels.

Lackadaisy Expressions Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
