20 Silly Things

So, Nina did a post like this the other day and she linked to Katiecupcake and it all seemed like so much fun, I decided to do one, too! I didn't think coming up with 20 things would be so hard! 

20 Silly Things about me.

1. I've never been on a Ferris Wheel.
2. My hair is the longest it's ever been. It falls all the way down my back. I think I want to chop it off and get a perm.
3. I love super hero comic books. I used to read them all the time. My favorite was Teen Titans.
4. I have flat feet.
5. Two of my favorite words are Vodka and aristocracy. They're fun to say.
6. I tend to randomly break out into either British or Russian accents.
7. Walt Disney is my role model.
8. Batman is my other role model.
9. I tend to hate female characters in books and relate better to male protagonists.
10. I love glitter. A lot.
11. I used to be super organized when I was a kid and would re-arrange my toys for fun.
12. Jay Baruchel is my fake boyfriend
13. I learned to ride a bicycle when I was 15 or 16... I can't remember for sure. I haven't really ridden one since.
14. I want a rickshaw or golf cart that I will decorate with vintage floral fabric and pom poms.
15. I want to be a crazy old lady with a Monkey named Jimmy Stewart when I grow up.
16. I want a bedazzled eye patch
17. I have a bedazzler, but I can't figure out how it works.
18. I've always wanted a croquet set made out of colorful hedgehogs and flamingos.
19. If I could wear frilly prom dresses everyday, I would.
20. When I was little, I would introduce myself as Madabubble.

Well... I'm sleepy. Tomorrow and Monday are going to be busy, busy, busy. I should sleep while I can!
Goodnight,
Madabubble

Favorite Film Friday #1: Penelope

FFF#1

Yay! It's Friday! All Rebecca Black references aside, since they'll only be relevant for another 10 minutes.

For the inaugural Favorite Film Friday post (it comes with it's very own acronym, FFF. Catchy, non?) I'm choosing the movie I have seen the most (in recent years, not accumulatively.)

 

This is a movie I can pop into my DVD player and listen to while I work on other things because I know it so well. Basically a movie must fill at least on of the following two categories to even be considered entrance into my favorites club. Yes, I like to think of my DVD's as people and my love as some sort of really ritzy country club. Pretty and or smart are my criteria’s. This movie is definitely pretty, and I think it is a genuinely good story as well.  if I could I would hop in to it a la Mary Poppins. To further illustrate just how big of an impact this movie has made on my life, whenever I see a picture of/movie with Christina Ricci (besides Penelope) I get very confused because her nose is wrong. Have I adequately explained how much I love this movie? I promise I won't gush as much about future titles*. 

All of the supporting actors are fantastic. Peter Dinklage, Catherine O'Hara, Reese Witherspoon, Simon Woods, Paul Herbert, and Russell Brand has a tiny cameo! As does Burn Gorman (Owen from Torchwood) Oh, did I mention James McAvoy? James McAvoy. I want to marry Max (his character in the movie)

It's a really sweet story. A bit of a coming of age, a bit of a rom-com-ish, a bit girl power, wrapped up in a lovely fairy tale sweater.

Until next week!

*That is a promise I have no intention of keeping

Such Great Heights

I discovered kickstarter a few months ago when Charlavail launched a campaign to start her line of aprons.
It's such a great idea and I love scouring through and seeing all of the projects people have started. The only other project I've pledged to was for Red Velvet's fall line... Until now..

Such Great Heights is one of my favorite songs and I love, love, love their cover, and it'll be on lavender vinyl?! Best ever!
I just wanted to pop over here to share my new discovery. Today is my Mom's birthday (Happy Birthday, Mom!) so I need to run. We're celebrating + doing presents in August, but still.
Have a happy rest of your Thursday!

P.s. This is another Kickstarter I think is really cool.

Photojojo

How did I not know about this website! I think I've looked at everything in their shop twice.

I've wanted one of those camera lens mugs, but I had no clue where to find one!
I think a shopping trip here will be in my future...

P.S. They also have the Time Capsule thing. I signed up last night.. Does anyone else use it? After the clip from Mad Men it was sort of impossible to say no.

Drumroll...

Heyo!

Oh... Why did I say that? That's a horrible way to start this post.

Greetings and salutations!

I am starting a weekly series on my little bloggity blog (again with the cutesy phrasing!)

Starting this Friday, I'm going to blog about my favorite movies, I have quite a few so this series may go on…and on…and on, well you get the picture.  And I dub it (drum roll please), "Favorite Film Friday"

(Check out that illiteration? You know it'll be fancy since I'm using film instead of movie)

Like I said, I have a plethora of favorite films and I’m more than happy to recommend some of my favorites!

I hope you'll enjoy reading about my favorite movies as much as (I'm sure) I'll enjoy gushing about them!

Marbled Nails: The Return

I tried out that marbled nail tutorial! It was pretty simple, I think more practice is neccessary though. It was a lot of fun dropping the polish in the water and swirling the colors. That was definitely my favorite part.

G'night,
Madeline
