KSena's Journal

I've collected so many things that I've wanted to share, that it’s a bit insane. So now I am going to! I’m sure there’ll be something for everyone that might be of interest in this… Serious, funny, cute, sad or just interesting. :-)

First up is both a sad and cute one. We all loved Jim Henson, right? Apparently the artists at Disney did to, because when Jim Henson died, this was the condolence card sent to the company… So sweet and cute and sad…

You've all heard about 50 Shades of Grey, right? Well, so have I. And I've read the first book, even if it was a very difficult struggle. Because even though it is written like a love story, it is so very very clearly not. All the things that are written as romantic traits in Christian Grey are abusive traits. And I can not understand why someone would write it like that. Anyway, here’s one of the best articles I've found as of yet on the subject abuse in 50 Shades of Grey. Might be a little bit triggering.

Fifty Shades of F**king Abuse

You think that’s it? Oh no… No, no, no… The internet is abuzz with 50 Shades of Grey pros and cons. (I hate it, but I guess you've figured that out by now.) And this… THIS is really REALLY interesting. Especially if you’re involved with fandoms and fanfic reading and/or writing. How 50 Shades became so popular and where it comes from… and how the Twilight fandom works. I wasn't privy to all that is written in this post, I'll be honest to say. It’s originally from Reddit, and the original link is in this post, but this was just a neat way to read it to me who is not a Reddit fan. :-)

Now for something nicer. :-) Like some art. Art is soothing, right? And sometimes you stumble upon an artist that is so good you get a headache. *LOL* This artist is amazing, and I beg you to go check out her gallery, since you’ll have your jaw at the floor in no time. Geezes christ the detail this woman draws…

I follow her on Instagram as well, and man... Her progress-photos makes me weep.

If you’re swedish or know the language, I do sugest you check out this interview. :-) It’s one of my sweet friends, Owlfoot, that is interviewed in swedish television since she don’t want kids and had a Sterilization done when she was 28. It’s a great interview, and I must say I am proud to have such tough intelligent and wise friends. :-)

And this? This is kinda cute with an important message… :-)

Talking of Harry Potter, my friend [Bad username or site: ”snowstormskies” @ livejournal.com] gave me a new view of the character Dumbledore, who I usually like. Very interesting.

Dumbledore is not a nice guy

And then there’s this. And this seriously cracked me up! X-D Men, at least you don’t have it as bad as the male honeybee! *lol* Sometimes I think Mother Nature does these things just to fuck around with us…

The male honeybee...

If you don’t know who John Cleese is, then you fail at life. *lol* Seriously, this man and Monthy Python and the Flying Circus has influenced comedy SO MUCH! Whether you like them or not you have to give them credit for that. And now John Cleese has released a biography about his life called So Anyway… which I for one really look forward reading! It has been translated and may libraries have it in their collections now….… And in preparation of that John Cleese got interviewed. By Eddie Izzard. This is, in a word, brilliance! It is a LOVELY interview! Seriously! Go look!

I don’t know much about Taylor Swift, I will admit. Her music is not what I usually listen to. But I will say this was very cool! It went, if not viral, then it sure made it’s rounds around Christmas. And I've rewatched it quite a few times. All the props to Taylor Swift for doing this. I don’t know many celebrities that would. To get a personalized gift from your idol? That… is pretty cool. :-)

And here be some lovely lovely library porn. Give me a break. I’m a librarian. These tickle me like not much else. And I would love to go on a trip to explore various libraries in the world, just for the hell of it. I’m a silly sod, I know. :-D

Here’s a bit more modern a library, but damn.. It’s really cool still!

To end this post on a laugh! (A bit NSFW-laugh, but still…) Here’s an image that was shared on Plurk that seriously cracked me up. X-D

WTF with the yapping dogs, people?

Was this lady in the library today, and man... I mean sure we don't mind if visitors have their dogs with them if they are wellbehaved and quite. Her dogs though were jumping up on people and were barking. I told her that if she couldn't keep them in line she had to take them out... She was all "Awww... ma babies... they'll behave I promise!" Ten minutes later they were barking at yet another visitor! So I had to tell her again! Then she got her dogs outside... Geez... Not to mention she had a big note from a notepad that was filled with titles of books she thought was a very good idea for the library to buy. AKA we should because it would be easier on her. So she promptly told me to take notes in our 'suggestions-for-purchases-binder'. I was not amused. It took a long time and was a bit of a pain in the ass. But I managed to be all nice and civil with her in the meantime... apart from when her dogs were barking down books from the shelfs. *face-palm*

Then there is the other visitor that comes quite often to the library... This man doesn't exactly do anything... and he isn't disturbing any other visitors either, but... He is very creepy. Clearly a hardship case... He's come in and smelled of alcohol more then once and also of pee a few times to... But as I said. He doesn't do anything. He walks in the library quitely and takes a seat in a chair, and stares in the wall. That's it. That's all he is doing. Nothing else. Not reading magazines or the daily paper. Just stares at the wall. One hears a sigh or two from him, but that's it. And then, after an hour or two, he leaves. Just as quietly as when he arrives. So, so weird. *shakes head*

Alright. Enough of that. Onwards to pole-dancing.

Sometimes it has it's advantages to follow celebrities on Twitter... Mrs Sharon Osbourne tweeted this vid today... She being a judge at America's got talent. And man... Did she tweet some talent or what? Hey, teganscrush? Remember that pole-dancer that gave inspiration to a certain prompt? Well, I forgot his name and lost his website and all that... Now, apparently he is in America's got talent... and Mrs Osbourne really likes him. NO WONDER! o.O I mean... That boy can MOVE! Holy SHIT!

( Steven Retchless on America's got talent )

I mean, geezes... o.O Yeah. I have now bookmarked his website AND am following his channel on YouTube... I am SO NOT losing information about this man again.

This was the first vid I saw with this guy, btw... Man, man oh man.... Just gonna leave that here...

Right, so more poledancing!

I found this some time ago... And this? This is so good. And I LOVE the song this girl used for her pole-dancing... creating a whole little theme from it. I give you a Harry Potter pole-dance. And it is glorious! (And yes, the girl is quite sexy to....)

Talking off Harry Potter! I got tickets for said movie on Friday, so me and spicehobbit will go see it. And afterwards, drinks! :-D Gonna be awesome!

Me and peting73 got our geek on today to... Jinx.Com has a HUGE sale right now, so we shopped a bit getting more geeky t-shirts! :-D I think it is time to clean out my t-shirt drawers to make room for the new ones... *grin*
