Indistinguishable From Magic: Top 10 WORST... →
dresdencodak:
Following my Top 10 Best superhero/villain redesigns, it seems only appropriate that we take a look at some of the absolute worst revamps, reboots and reimaginings around. This will be a much more perilous journey, and perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re going to talk about the 90’s. A lot.

Just like that “Steal like an artist” thing.

mlarson:
When I was reading this New Atlantis article on self-help, I found mention of Ben Franklin’s ingenious plan for becoming a better writer: imitation, summary, repeated practice. He set up lessons for himself, varying ways of copying from The Spectator…
One method was picking an essay, summarizing every sentence...

History Buff and Komiks
For those who don’t know me, I am a history buff. Especially the history of my country, the Philippines. I’m planning on making comics set during the Philippine-American war and the pre-Spanish era. It’s been a long time dream of mine to make one. I just hope that I do find the time to make them.

Anne Hathaway in Catwoman Costume...Finally!
jimmyaquino:
It’s well known that Anne Hathaway is playing Selina Kyle in the next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. But they’ve never called her Selina’s alter ego, “Catwoman”. I think that’s all put to rest now. She’s in the costume! Complete with the cute little ears. Enjoy. And the expected…”Meow”.

The reason I will never buy an eReader.

This truly breaks my heart
I pledge to read the printed word
Meanwhile in Quezon City, Fully Booked Katipunan will open today!
The prohibitive cost of eReaders makes printed books still popular here in the PHL.
And yes, the scarcity of electronic copies of Local Books is a plus factor.

bewilderedstateofself:
1. Thoughtless When someone celebrates birthday, graduation or winning the lotto in the neighborhood, the party lasts through deep in the night, keeping neighbors awake by the noise of an out of tune videoke singer.

Pinoy Tumblr.: On the layers and nuances of the... →
pinoytumblr:
One thing I love about my native Filipino language: It does not distinguish by gender.
In the English language, there is always a distinction between “he” or “she” when referring to the third person.
In Filipino, regardless of the gender/orientation, it is always “siya.”
In the English…

Keanu Reeves is a vampire.
harrypotterandthetumblraddict:
Now, look at this:
That’s “Paul Mounet”, a french actor, who “died” in 1922. His body never was found.
Then, look at this:
An unknown man, painted in 1530 by Parmigianino.

Got a BONEr!
Arrgh!!! It seems that I’m addicted to Jeff Smith’s Bone so late in the game. Thanks for my friend for lending me his Bone collection. I’ve been looking for the Scholastic version (yeah, the colored one) over at National Bookstore and Powerbooks. All they have is the prequel: The story of Rose. Looks like I’ll have to scour some of the comic book shops or worse, probably...
