Friday Musings #39

I went to the JT/Jay Z concert last night. IT WAS AWESOME. Our seats had the added bonus of having a little ledge over it so while it rained, Kim and I got a cool mist. I don't really know very much of their new stuff, but luckily they performed mostly older songs. Besides the crazy traffic getting there (it took us an hour to get from the exit ramp to the parking and that was with us being the a-holes who drive up to the very last point where you can merge in) it was a great night. Though there is one sad note: I'm pretty sure I'm getting old. The concert ended at 11:30 and I was probably ready for bed at 10:30 haha. Lots of coffee today!!!! Getting old sucks. 

Mustaches For All

A friend of mine hosted a baby shower that was mustache-themed. HOW CUTE IS THAT? There are quite a few mustache cookie cutters out there, but I went with this one from Amazon.com due mostly to its primeness (2 day free shipping FTW). The cookies aren't too big, one batch of dough made about 55.

I set myself to decorating them whilst I watched the twitter-sensation Sharknado. (Only made it half way through before I finished the cookies. They were pretty quick and easy to ice.)

Outlined and ready to go!

Of course I doused them all with a heavy helping of disco dust. I'm a big fan of this cookie cutter. I will have to find another time to use it - maybe in Movember?

Geek Week!

Well, I managed to get one post up in July! hashtag winning! Between Fourth of July, Comic-con, Maine, and general shenanigans, the blog kinda fell to the wayside. But - I have a few posts coming up - on the previously mentioned Comic-con and some fun themed parties I'm in the process of planning. Until then... it's GEEK WEEK on YouTube!

They've got some great programming up including this Choose Your Own Adventure! Super cool right? I've been having a lot of fun watching the Geek Week videos. Not to mention productive at work!

There's nothing I love more than a good Disney/boy band mashup. 

"The way I see it, you can sit around here and mope... or you can start a boy band."

So fantastic.

Friday Musings #37

I've been marathoning Game of Thrones. I finished the first book when I was on vacation and decided that I was just going to watch the TV show from here on out. I don't have the time to sit down and read it all in one sitting, and I can't keep the characters straight when I read a few chapters a week. I am loving the show - I finished season 2 in 4 days. I wanted to include gifs from the show in this post, but I'm too afraid of what I'll find on tumblr.

I know some crazy shit goes down this season and I am both looking forward to and dreading the Red Wedding episode. I've managed to not know what happens yet, but I'm assuming it is a wedding where everyone I love is going to die.

I am constantly surprised by this story and how it makes me start rooting for the characters I hate - they all have such dimension. I think Tywin is a horrible excuse for a human being (like seriously - give Tyrion some love - he is obviously the best of all your offspring) but dammit if that man doesn't swoop in and save the day. TWICE now!

Reddit is doing a Game of Thrones gift exchange which I fully intend to participate in.  (Sign up ends July 5th) I'm happy I'll be caught up before Comic-con so I can finally understand the costumes and maybe I'll hit up their panel/get some sweet swag. Winter is coming and I'm pretty damn excited about it!
