I'm proud to display by lovely gut from eating too much mac and cheese at Legoland. Blame it on the Buffet for Kids. I developed an outrageous tan from those sandles. Because it is summer and I have no flats and sandles that fit me properly, I am forced to wear them when it is above 75 degrees. (I don't find the point in wearing shoes anyways, since I always come with shoes but never have them on. I'm so much content on being the lonebarefoot in a crowd of shoes.)

Anyhoo, I did a pen/watercolor drawing of the absolutely beautiful Miss Tran of Behind the Seams. Check out her lovely DIYs! Such simple and easy instructions. And her elegant and stunning makeup are eyegasms.

P.S. I don't know if this is healthy for my ears... but I have had Eminem's Recovery album on repeat for the last 24 hours every day of last week. I'm not a fervent fan of rap and can never declare myself an expert. However, unlike some, the make-or-break factor in music for me is the lyrics. Granted, Eminem has overused his angry tone and drugged-up nights as themes for practically every song he has ever released, but for some reason, this album is particularly good. Most comeback albums are "Hello world! I'm back! Imma start hitting platinum again! Buy my new album!" No, Slim Shady is more like "F$$$ the world. Imma back and Imma make up for the wait."

And it's slightly creepy how his new music video "Love the Way You Lie" is so similar to the way I imagined it. Although, I didn't understand the concept of putting Eminem in a cornfield. That was a bit randomly strange to me.
