New Etsy Item! And Listening To: Rising Gael

Hi hi hi hi!

I'm in a super good mood right now!

I have yet another new item in my Etsy shop!

[ Ch-ch-check it out! ]

It would be greatly appreciated!

And since it's Wednesday [well, it was a few minutes ago...], it's "Listening To" time!

Today we've got Rising Gael.

They're a great band that does Irish music!

[ Youtube didn't have my favorite song by them, called "He Moved Through the Fair". Sad day. ]

[ "Stretched on Your Grave" ]

Once when my mom, my grandma, and I went on a roadtrip, we stopped at a pub and this band was playing there. I had never heard of them before, but I instantly fell in love. They're so much fun to watch and they even include the audience in things. They had a contest to see who could write the dirtiest lyrics and whoever won, they would sing the song with the new lyrics, and the winners got a free CD. 

[ Being the gutter-minded women that we are, we won the contest and got their CD. ]

Also, I don't listen to Irish music all that much. But this is a definite exception. I seriously recommend that you look them up and listen to a variety of their music. It's definitely worth it.

New Etsy Item!...and Transformers 3...

First of all:

I have yet another new item on Etsy!

[ Check it out here! ]

I might be changing it, though, to only be available as a 4x6 or 5x7 print. The 8x10 is a little iffy. But maybe I can change a few things and make it work. 

[ Tim Gunn is love. ]

Second of all:

Last night I saw the third and final Transformers movie.

And to be honest, I'm glad it's the final one.

I was a big fan of the first two Transformers movies. Explosions, action, Shia, humor, it was all pretty good. 

[ Except for Megan Fox. I'm glad she left. She makes me uncomfortable. ]

So, I was pretty excited to see this movie. 

But I was sadly let down, and here's why:

1. The movie was 3 hours long. No movie should be that long. Ever.

2. Since Fox decided not to be a part of this movie, they felt the need to throw in a new love interest [ Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ]. I'm not quite sure why, out of all the actresses in the world, that they had to pick her. She's pretty, I guess, but she really can't act, in my opinion. 

3. There was so much obvious sexual humor. In the first two movies, there was some sexual humor, but it was placed in certain scenes and not overdone, which made them funny and sort of clever. But in this film, it was just thrown all over the place. My guy and I found ourselves laughing, not because it was funny, but because it was so stupid. There wasn't an air of maturity in this movie. It was tasteless and most of the time, really lame. 

I will say that there was some good action scenes, some great special effects, and a few twists.

But all in all, I give this movie a thumbs down and wait until you can rent it to see it.

Have you seen this movie? What'd you think?

New Item on Etsy!

Oh gosh, I've been gone for what seems like forever.

Life's been hectic and such, but now I'm getting back on track. [ Or at least I am for now...ugh... ]

But I started something new in my life. 

Have you heard of the website called Etsy?!

I hope you have, because it's glorious.

When I'm bored, I'll just search through tons of the amazing creations that people are selling. It's a great place to get your work out in the world and it's also quite useful for getting some inspiration for when you find yourself in a slump. [ It happens to me...often. ]

Today I created my very own shop and I'm super psyched about it.

I'm only selling one thing at the moment, but after a while there will be more. 

I just have to get my creative juices flowing and come up with ideas.

I would be so ecstatic if you visited!

Critiques are always appreciated. Tell me what you think!

Do you have an Etsy shop? 

I would love to see it!

Chances are, I'll add you to my circle. Not to sound like I'm bribing you or anything. I just enjoy being connected.
