links and a meme

Not that you needed any, but proof that I am an extremely lazy person:

1) I curled my hair this morning. I received so many compliments (2/3 comments came from GUYS, who never notice that sort of thing) about it that it was kind of embarrassing, because it was like, "OK, I GET IT, I guess my hair normally looks like crap." It took me a whole 8 minutes to do. And yet I never do it. That's just time I'd rather spend sleeping.

2) This guy creates amazing art using ball-point pens. BALL-POINT PENS. I cannot fathom the talent and patience required to do such a thing. And he's not even a full-time artist. He's a freaking attorney. ( A couple of my favorite images. )

3) I'm stealing this from adrith: ABC Greenlights "S.H.I.E.L.D" Marvel Pilot, Joss Whedon To Co-Write, Possibly Direct. Yay!! I'm curious to see what he's going to do with it. Different timeline? SHIELD agents we don't know? SHIELD agents we do know, but younger? SHIELD agents Joss has made up, rather than from the comicverse? Will he go totally AU? Will we see SHIELD agents as cowboys in space? TELL US JOSS. I assume actually that the studio'll want it to be relatable in some way to the movieverse, so that they can potentially have cameos and craft other spinoffs and sequels and etc., in order to better milk our wallets.

4) Instead of pretending like this is a real post I'll do this meme!! Which I have stolen from everyone on my flist. Thank you, flist, for enabling my laziness. Leave me one or more of these numbers and I shall provide an honest answer (**as bonus fun, I will attempt to answer in a .gif or other image if I can :D**):

flapper girls & indoor gardening

I wanted to show you the flapper girls series that I was talking about yesterday. It was a commission and she's only done 8 of 12, but aren't they awesome?

( Liana Hee's Flapper Girls )

Have you guys heard of the AeroGarden? I recently got the 7-pod version and set it up a couple of days ago. I'm ridiculously excited about it. One of the things that I've always wanted was a proper herb garden, one where I could just cull fresh herbs to use whenever I needed them (buying fresh herbs is expensive, inconvenient, and inefficient). Unfortunately, the weather here doesn't really allow for a good herb garden outdoors -- I tried to make one this year, but over winter everything but the thyme died (poor beautiful marjoram plant /cry).

That means an indoor herb garden, which many people have, except I've kind of got a brown thumb, especially with indoor plants. I wanted a fool-proof solution, and AeroGarden seems to be it. They use this special NASA-tested aeroponic technology that enables you to grow stuff quickly and compactly on your countertop. You can do everything from tomatoes to herbs to flowers, but I don't know why you would grow flowers this way. I think it's perfect for herbs, because you can grow a bunch of different kinds (depending on which AG you have) and they're all in their own little pods, so there's no danger of an invasive plant like mint taking over.
