Category: links of the week

 I don’t know about you guys but I’m having a pretty good week. I got some good $$$ news last week and it was effective immediately so that was nice. I got some cinnamon bread at A Sweet Affair on Saturday (sooo delicious!!), and I fixed my grandma’s TV/cable not once, but twice. *receives award for best granddaughter ever*

You’ve probably seen this already but We Found Our Son in the Subway is one of the nicest things you’ll read, if you haven’t already.

As a longtime Project Runway fan (one who, alas, can longer stomach the show since its move to Lifetime) this update on the very first winner Jay McCarroll was fun to read. I still think that his finale collection was one of the best in PR history.

‘The Walking Dead’: Norman Reedus explains why Daryl Dixon never runs out of arrows. Not gonna lie, I had noticed this (and I rarely notice anything… I’m not a deep television watcher). Daryl’s my favorite.

Make your own cinnamon bread! So far the Pioneer Woman hasn’t steered me wrong. The only difference I would make is roll that bad boy in cinnamon sugar after it pops out of the oven like the bread from a Sweet Affair.

A new feature of the blog is going to be highlighting some of my favorite articles/links that I’ve read throughout the week. Here’s this week’s list!

The Rock ’n’ Roll Casualty Who Became a War Hero. This guy was fired from Soundgarden AND Nirvana… and went on with his life – in the military. A great read.

Incredible time-lapse of fog flowing over San Francisco for 2 years. I found this particularly interesting given the recent heat wave that was broken only when the fog finally came in. Living in the Bay Area we’re used to fog, but this was a new way to view it! (I’ll stop talking about the heatwave someday but NOT TODAY) (Incidentally it’s been very nice here lately and I haven’t even turned the air on since the weekend.)

Project Popsicle. Some great ideas to make homemade popsicles! I will definitely have to make an effort to make ones that aren’t just frozen orange juice. Or just in general, I think my popsicle molds are hidden away in a drawer somewhere. This is a great way to trick myself into eating fruit.

Hubble Telescope Gallery. I was looking for space pictures (who doesn’t, right? hah) and did a quick search for Hubble Telescope images and this whole site popped up. You have got to check it out – space is beautiful.

Primeval Underwater Forest Discovered in the Gulf of Mexico. While we’re on a science kick, check out this awesome find in Alabama. I liked the video, a very green and eerie atmosphere. I would be interested in seeing a documentary about this.

And finally, 4th String Jaegers. You can make your own Jaeger design (the fighting giant robots from the awesome Pacific Rim!) (No seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed it!) on the Warner Bros website annnd apparently people have been giving their creations stupid names, which of course have been collected into a hilarious tumblr.
