Just when you thought I couldn't get nerdier...

I did :D


So.... I'm sure y'all remember my sad tale of Mr.Pot no.1

yeah..... he died.
He was leaking SO much! He drenched several towels that I have hanging up so they can dry.


I duct tapped him all up, but water was still leaking into the bottom where all the electrical magic is going on, and I don't really want to be electrocuted, so I had to get a new one.
Introducing, Mr. Pot no. 2!

Yay!!!!

I also made my first vlog, which is posted on youtube, but it's crap, so dont go looking for it.
I've really gotten into blogging/vloging lately and how it affects our culture in terms of news spreading and information.
Some people have even started relationships over vlogs!
So when I had to do a speech for my Communications class informing people about something that I'm passionate about, or have experience with, I thought about blogging.

So I looked it up on Wikipedia :D
And there is so much about blogging that I never knew about! It's kinda' awesome.

I'm not sure if I'll start vlogging for this blog, but I already have a super sweet intro in the works for the First East's vlog :D
We were going to film it today, but Kenny was feeling a bit under the weather, so we'll probably do it tomorrow.

And in the spirit of nerdy-ness, I thought I'd share another picture that made me laugh this week. enjoy

P.S.
I have officially christened Mr. Pot no. 2 by making a cup of (actually pretty decent) instant coffee, a cup of earl grey, and a cup of tension tamer tea :D

Sith happens

It figures that right when I tell everyone that one of the main items needed for college is a hot pot, mine decides to be a bum and leak all over the place.
I noticed that the black disc thingy in the bottom is punched in at one end, where is where the leak is happening.... it sucks though....
I have towels underneath it, and I have to use up all the water I boil right away, or else my desk gets turned into a swamp. bum.
Maybe I should send this guy after it


.... which makes me think of this awesome stencil I found.

:D

10 things (maybe more) that every college student needs

I'm almost at midterm time in my second semester of college, and since I've been at this college thing for half a year already I thought I'd share some of my new found wisdom with you. So these are the 10 (or more) things that I've found are necessary for the college life style

1) Super nerdy mug

Or any mug, but this baby caught my eye at Target and it was love at first sight

2)You need something to put in your brilliant mug, and what could be better than some nice hot Earl Grey tea?


3) Since Darth isn't supposed to be put in the microwave (because I think he's been cooked enough in his lifetime) I need to make hot water! I wouldn't dream of living somewhere where I was unable to boil water


4)Sometimes you want something scrumptious to munch on whilst studying for class in the wee hours of the morn'. And what could be more tasty than some hot and fluffy popcorn!


5)Just don't study too much, or you'll have to get one of these...

:D

6)To make your living space into a dorm sweet dorm, you need to have all your cuddly buddies with you!

I love having Snow, Alonzo, and Popsicle to cozy up with after a long day of classes.

7)Cuddly friends aren't the only things that can make your room into a living space. I use my trusty roll of contact paper to make fun decals

You can decorate your doors...

your drawers...

or any other surface!


And what kind of nerd would I be if I didn't decorate using my trusty map of Middle Earth...


8)A wise woman gave this to me, saying no one should go through college without it, and I quite agree


9)This may not be for every college student, but every Art major needs one of these babies....


And don't forget PLENTY of these guys...
<

10)Every dorm needs gnomes to keep an eye on things when your not around! They make sure your roommate doesn't steal any of your secret chocolate stash

speaking of a secret chocolate stash...

11)find a secret spot to stash your secret chocolate you got when you went to the dollar store


... then find a new one if you just posted a picture of your's on the internet.

Have a lovely bubbly day!

edit: I've been trying to fix the pictures.... they show up on my computer as cut off half way. I resized them, but it doesn't seem to want to work (at least for me). I'll get on it and figure this out. Never fear!

What a doll

Whilst viewing the ever-lovely site, etsy, I wandered onto their featured seller page and fell in love with these dolls! I love that she shared a bit about making them, since I've always been interested in doll making
enjoy!
