Is it age-appropriate for a soon-to-be-30-year-old to wear geek earrings such as these?

Clockwise from top left:
- Bunsen & Beaker Earrings, by Charlie Carter
- Brass Pac-Man Earring Set, by Pica Pica Press
- R2D2 Droid Star Wars Earrings, by CouldBeeYours
- Red & Light Blue Star Wars Lightsaber Earrings, by Hippopotamus Pie

Okay, I admit they’re kinda kitschy, but that only adds to their appeal!

This one is really pretty though. Doesn’t help that I am personally very fond of Ampersands. No kidding.

Enjoy whatever’s left of your Sunday!

Me: What’s your favourite subject?
Her: Recess
Me: That’s not a subject!
Her: It is! If not, why is it on the timetable?

(just after Liverpool scored)

Me: Woo!!
Her: What happened?
Me: My team just scored!
Her: Then why do they have to hold each other’s heads?
Me: Cos they’re celebrating!
Her: They should just kick each other.

(while playing Pictionary)

Me: What are you drawing?
Her: Do you give up?
Me: No!
Her: Okay, I’ll draw it easier for you. If you still can’t guess, I’ll press the give up button for you.

(There was no “Give Up” button. She just drew it.)

Her: I like your floor.
Me: Why?
Her: The floor is like Ikea!

Kids really do say the cutest things, don’t they? :p

Watch
Giving you a double this week because I couldn’t stop laughing while watching both these videos. COULDN’T STOP. Then again, I am very easily amused.

Listen
I was introduced to this band because Dianna Agron (yes, Quinn from Glee) once posted a video of one of their songs on her Tumblr. I’ve been a fan ever since.

Who doesn’t like free, legal music? I only recently discovered NoiseTrade and I’ve been happily checking out artists I’m not familiar with. You can leave the artist a tip if you like the album enough (which I highly encourage). We need them to keep making good music. :)
