Friday Favourites #1

Welcome to Salsabuggout's first Friday Favourites!

1. This braided headband! The tutorial is right here.

This headband looks so simple and fun to make! Plus, it looks cool (and warm). I'm thinking I'll make it with rainbow yarn. That'd be cool.

2. This pencil shaving collar!

I would totally wear this forever if I bought it. It's so cool.

3.

So neat. The spoon looks so deep and lovely. Plus it's hilarious and very suitable for me (I eat cerealEVERY morning).

There's nothing like a warm bath. If I had this I'd probably never get out of the tub. My mum'd come in to check on me and find a pink prune sitting in an empty bathtub. 

5. I found this on 'Lazy Explorers'.

 This is THE most amazing blouse ever. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm not sure if I'm going to make this a habit, but I'm trying it out. We'll see!

Have a great Friday! 

P.S. I've had one post a day for the last week!  YAY!

Holy Slacker-Pants!

Hi, to the threeish people that read my blog occasionally (if there are more of you, speak out!)
 I decided to visit my neglected blog, and realized that I haven't posted since Christmas...

Well the reason I've been waaaay too busy to post is one word: Exams-- the joy of my life for all of January. Exams are over. YAY!

I decided to write something on this blog, but then promptly realized that my life isn't really that interesting, and that nothing huge has changed. (ie. I still have all my limbs.)
But I guess the biggest change in my life is my dive into 'theatre'. Specifically the musical kind.

 Let me explain: The end of exams brought the end to first semester. Which means the end of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and English (the subject, not the language...I haven't suddenly turned french or anything). Which also means the beginning of Math...and more importantly, my Musical Theatre course. Which takes up 75% of my school day!! HELL YEAH.

So no science till next year..... and time to write, and draw, and read, and rock climb, and watch movies, and play music to my heart's content!!

To conclude this thought with one statement, would be to say: My life has suddenly become interesting again.

So, I think as of now I will tell you about yesterday's adventure.

Yesterday, my musical theatre class took a last minute trip to Second City in Toronto. Now if you've never heard of Second City, I'd recommend that you get off your ass and run down to Toronto to see a show. The one my class saw was PHENOMENAL (teacher word right there). It was called "Dreams Really Do Come True (and other lies)".

Second City -- if I forgot to mention-- is a comedy club, where improv theatre is the beginning of all of the sketches. So basically the actors all improvise in front of an audience, and see their reactions. A director then puts all of the good chunks of comedy into a show and modifies the chunks to make them even funnier. It was pretty excellent. 

Now to leave with a song... I want to play the Kinks songs, 'Lola' and  'Sunny Afternoon'. 

I'm really into the Kinks right now, they're really good, and I love the lead singer's voice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ART CLOKEY!

So today searching up on google, I came across the google doodle thingy for today. It's Gumby.
Hell yeah.
Okay, so I'll give you the unnecessary play-by-play.

So I clicked on the icon.
Being the naturally curious human being that you know I am.... I looked at the Wikipedia page.
Apparently it's Art Clokey's 90th birthday.
He's the creator of Gumby. The epic 70s claymation show(Well technically it started in the fifties, and ran till '89).

I also found out that he's the creator of other claymation films such as Gumbasia, which was the inspiration for Gumby. Gumbasia is pretty sweet. Especially since it's from 1955, and pretty much paves the way for all other aspiring claymators (is that the right word?). Here, take a peek.

I love the music. 

Anyways, goodbye.
