Laughter Through Tears

So, I got my back tattoo renewed, and it stings a lot. I mean, I'm habituating to it and all. In an hour when I have to rinse it, I bet it will barely sting at all, but still. I am very glad I went, though, since this was highly overdue. The tattooist wants me to come in in a couple of weeks so she can see how it set in. It's a bit different than before because of how long it had faded.

I am excited.

I am avoiding thinking about how the next four weeks are going to be hell on wheels, so have some random links:

I know I've become the world's fastest-declining Daily Squee addict, but the fennec fox and the capybara are exceptionally squee, even for me. Trufax: were it not for the various ludicrous Facebook games I play, I wouldn't even know what a fennec fox is.

FEMINIST HULK makes an exception for bell hooks. I am the last person in the interblags to know about feminist Hulk. And here is the actual twitter account.

I've been following fuck yeah, bisexuals for a while. I am always, always hungry for more bi blogs, and Tumblr puts a wealth of queerness at my fingertips. {o/

Cupcakes are a wonderful theme for tattoos, and I approve.

My excellent friend Hez visits Greece for the second time, basks in the sunny weather, and finds time to muse about international relations, tourism and the different approaches to archeology. Because apparently I have awesome taste in friends.

My brother finally got me to watch Across the Universe, which he is slightly obsessed with it. I'd seen some from the beginning and end, but my favorite parts are in the middle, so I didn't get the full experience. I Want You (She's So Heavy) was my favorite, both in the musical adaptation, in the story behind it, and in the choreography. It also got the song stuck in my head, so fair warning.

No matter how many times I visit My Food Looks Funny, Chrome will not save it in my history. It's so weird.
