High School

Aka: Glee. I was going to upload a video but I can't do it unless I save it and it's just not rocking today. However. I have other goodies for all of you.
In case none of you know what Glee is, it's a show about several kids, ranging from the lone loser, to the most popular (now pregnant) couple of the school. Cheerleaders, football players, the gay kid, one in a wheelchair, and everything in between are present in the show and it's not stop funny. Throw in some teacher situations, relationship issues, and some cupcakes and it's stellar.







There you are. Some icons. Here are some picspam links:

Greatness

Which is obviously what this blog is made of. Mark Reads Twilight is one of the funniest, most ridiculously truthful, awesome blogs I've read in awhile. (okay, so I'm terrible and busy and don't read a lot lately. -hangs head in shame-) HOWEVER! This one is sooo worth the ten minutes to go through each post. I kid you not. Though, I must warn Twilight fans, don't go if you love. Because this blog is all about finding the flaws, the ones we all know are there, and pointing them out so ridiculously clearly that you wonder how the hell that book got published in the first place. (Okay, I wondered that to begin with.)

It's got some wonderful points, lots of SPARKLES!, and is written excedingly well.

Let's all thank rockinhambuger @ LJ for letting me in on this find. Thank-you chica!

Graphics!

I have an addiction to icons, banners, backgrounds, anything and everything that is a graphic. It's ridiculous. I wish I could make my own, but alas. I have no skills. =( However! I do have several LJ communities and friends that make graphics that I'm definitely not in need of any!

Amor_fatii - An LJ comm with lots of just random icons/banners/etc. One of my favourite posts of all time is here.

Collapsingnight - another of my favourite graphic comms. Also comes with music mixes and other fun tidbits!

Glee_icons - I'll be making a post on 'Glee' later, but here are some FANTASTIC icons for the show. You know you love it!

lettertoalover - Beautiful, beautiful icons. Also some interesting thoughts thrown in there as well ^^

Remember: If you're ever snagging any of these, follow the rules:

1.) Save to your OWN COMPUTER!
2.) Comment and let the person know.
3.) Always credit!

Getting ready for Friday,

Gregory & the Hawk

Look at this. Not being able to update very often. It's a result of being a try hard and having no life outside of well....life. However. Something interesting for our letter 'G'.

And I bring you more music! Gregory & the Hawk. I'm sure any self respecting indie fan has heard/does know about them but ah well.

Gregory & the Hawk is the pseudonym that Meredith Godreau goes by. She's been active since 2003 and has been met with success. She has two albums: In Your Dreams (2007) and Moenie and Kitchi (2008) (password: abc).

Dancing in her dreams,

Thanks to findesiecle over at tumblr for this site.
"This site graphs out a breakdown of mentions of body parts in the lyrics of songs across genres, which is pretty interesting. Aside from this being massively questionable as ‘research’ (what database of songs did they use? how did they determine genre? what were the years of publication of the songs, and from what countries? why is it that it’s sort of like ‘details of many types of music made by white people but all music from black people it totally just hip-hop or R+B and here’s our proof that all they sing about is butts, which is underlined by our using totally white bread stock photos instead of something neutral like illustrations?’ what could this indicate other than what is ‘valued’ in the genre? did we count words twice in one song, throwing off songs with a more traditional verse-chorus-verse structure, which is also something that varies by genre?) but before I get carried away again — look! Pretty graphs! And funny little photos of body parts!"

Fashion!

Fall's here and what better way to bring it in with new fashion? And Alica + Olivia have got it down to a science. With a fun website, and even more fun pieces (especially some of those dresses) you'll be walking down the street knowing you look great. I know I'm late on this one, but Chanel's pre-Fall 2009 Collection is very Star Wars Queen Amidala inspired, and I couldn't resist.

And as anyone who follows anything even remotely, layers are always a must. This is probably one of my favourite ways of putting something together:



Not to mention the fact that the jacket on the left really wants to be part of my closet:
