Most of these adult-colouring-books bemuse me, many appear to me to be overpriced doodles that most people could manage. Strange to rate a colouring book but the art in this is exquisite, a mix of highly detailed to fairly simple with plenty of room for expression while colouring or adding details. I felt like this picture was too plain so I added a Harry Potter quote. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." -Albus Dumbledore This is my first project I've done since starting college and it was such a nice de-stresser. This was just so much fun and the color schemes make my eyes happy.:D This was a lot of fun to color after taking a long break. I'm so proud of this because it took me forever to do! This is probably one of my favorite pieces so far and I love the concept of just using pinks and blue tones as the basis for the piece. It took me a while to do this one because I was so busy, but I'm definitely going to take time when I feel stressed to do this while I watch a movie or TV. I messed up a little bit on one of the color patterns, but I really like the design the more I look at it. I used fine, fine tip Sharpies and Crayola color pencils. This image took me about four days to color. The end result or even just completing small portions of the page makes me truly happy to see that I've participated in bringing a simple image to life. I've started my journey into adult coloring and so far have discovered that it's a relaxing process.

especially once they discover what they are truly up against.

In order to survive the ship’s secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust each other. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed-not when he’s rescuing his own sister. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away.

It jumps from time to time, and between these nine marvellous and inspiring characters. In his many, many hours of interviewing people, he found nine that he chose to write about. There is also the fabulous HBO show Treme, obviously this book and heaps of other stuff) There, Baum was intrigued by New Orleans itself not just the aftermath of this disaster, but the people and everything about it. I haven’t seen it yet, but must try to watch it soon. (If you want to know more about that, Harry Shearer has a documentary called The Big Uneasy. Dan Baum went to New Orleans to report on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the failure of the levies. It was not available in Australia, so my wonderful mother ordered it online and it was a birthday present. He interviewed Dan Baum, and I became extremely interested in reading this book. At the time, I was reading Nine Lives, which was a book that Harry Shearer had recommended. Ages ago I did a blog entry on the podcast of Harry Shearer’s Le Show. He eventually became a recluse, and on his travels relied on the hospitality of temples and fellow poets. He began to write verse while studying as the companion of the son of the local lord, and continued to write when he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) in 1667. Matsuo Basho, the Japanese poet and diarist, was born in Iga-ueno near Kyoto in 1644. These travel writings not only chronicle Basho’s perilous journeys through Japan, but also capture his vision of eternity in the transient world around him. He wrote of the seasons changing, of the smell of the rain, the brightness of the moon and the beauty of the waterfall, through which he sensed the mysteries of the universe. When he composed The Narrow Road to the Deep North he was a serious student of Zen Buddhism setting off on a series of travels designed to strip away the trappings of the material world and bring spiritual enlightenment. In his perfectly crafted haiku poems, Basho described the natural world with great simplicity and delicacy of feeling. “Goddammit.” Because why couldn’t I be the one for Eleanor? Why did I have to be in love with a girl leagues above me and miles more deserving? “Goddammit.” The word whispered off my tongue as I stared at the spyglass. Hell, I might die now, just thinking about it. Breathless and so hungry, I thought I would die from the inside out if she ever stopped kissing me. Pushed me even further.Īnd God, that kiss beneath the streetlamp-it had left me dizzy from wanting her. And, the truth was, Eleanor had pushed me even harder. She had pushed me in ways I hadn’t been pushed since. Actually, there was a new hole in my heart-a bigger, blacker hole than Cassidy had ever left behind.īecause I wanted to go back to Eleanor. And yes, the more I dug at the old wound, the more I realized it didn’t sting anymore. Maybe I’d finally let Cassidy Cochran go.

Project Runway just started its 11th season, airing at 9 p.m. Or the dreadful Gretchen-gate when an irritating and not so talented designer won over the multi-talented Mondo.
