My head is a royal mess right now. Packing. Cleaning. Making sure the girls don’t kill each other. Laundry. My 15th rendition of “Do-Re-Mi” (C&A’s favorite song at the moment) today. More cleaning (because I can’t leave for a trip without cleaning first). In case you have more free time than me today, here are three flowcharts you may […]

“Why Did They Have to Die?”, Game of Thrones Edition [Infographic]

Although the most popular complaint against A Song of Ice and Fire series is the callous and unexpected ways in which George R.R. Martin kills off beloved characters (have you seen this?), my biggest complaint is that there are just too. Many. Damn. Characters. And as someone who is horrible with names — especially names that are difficult to pronounce (you […]

When Did (Or Will) Your Looks Peak?

I came across an interesting infographic BuzzFeed published yesterday with the title “Men Believe Female Beauty Peaks At Age 29.” The infographic includes interesting age-related beauty factoids and survey results in addition to the obviously-designed-for-bait post title, so I thought it would be worth a mention here.

The Nicholas Cage Movie Matrix

J calls Nic Cage “the king of B movies,” and I’m sure many would agree. I confess I quite enjoyed some of his prior action flicks like The Rock (cue Sean Connery saying “Welcome to The Rock”), Con Air (“Put the bunny back in the box!”), and Face/Off (“I want to take his face…off.”). I really liked both National […]

30 Years of Super Mario [Infographic]

Via PicsVics. My favorite of the franchise is Super Mario 3, and I’m sure many will agree. And my Mario costume of choice? The Tanooki Suit, of course! I mean, how many of us didn’t think the following after grabbing that adorable teddy-bear-like item? (image source) You may also like: The World of Star Wars: A […]

In Anticipation of Sunday…

Super Bowl XLVII. Who will YOU be rooting for? (image source) You know I love me my Ravens. (I predicted a Harbaugh Bowl at the beginning of the playoffs!) And you know I love me some visualized data. So in honor of my “the in-laws have gone on vacation for 2 weeks leaving me alone to […]

A Visualization of Star Wars Enthusiasm

Here’s a pretty funny (but mostly accurate!) panel of comics about how much we’ve cared about Star Wars, starting from the 1970s all the way to the 2010s. I still can’t believe it’s been thirty-five years since Episode IV first came out; can you? You may also like: Once Upon an Internet The Jedi Trainer’s Guide to […]
