Sticky Keys and TheIronChef developed a nifty little program that calculates how much of your life you have wasted away respawning when playing Halo 3. Apparently they used a five second average respawn, which may or may not be accurate depending on how much you tend to kill your teammates. Or yourself. Neither of which I ever do.
I got power back just in time to discover and snag this adorable Pac-Man inspired nose ring. Made from 20 gauge sterling silver wire, the creator balled the end, sculpted it until it was just right, and put it in a tumbler. The fruit of her labor is a hard, polished nose ring reminiscent of your retro gaming days.

The “purchase here” link will take you to the nose ring section of her store because I already bought this one. I would expect she will be listing more though as she has two shown in the picture. Plus, she takes custom orders so you can always just send her a message via Etsy if you get impatient. Which I expect you to, because this is simply the cutest nose ring I have ever seen.
It is with great sorrow that I report to you that our beloved Hawty McBloggy, aka bs angel, is snowed in and without power. Living as she does in the Rockies, or the Cascades, or possibly the Appalachian mountains (who knows?!), she will be without power for at least a day. In this time she will brave a cold, Xbox-less existence. And maybe even a Wampa.
Your regularly scheduled programming will return momentarily, until then, light a candle and toast a s’more in her honor.

Unlike the ruthless piranha plants in Super Mario Bros. that camp in random pipes and periodically pop out to devour you, the only threat this crocheted version poses is being too adorable. Made from acyrlic yarn, non-alergenic polyfil, felt, and thread, this piranha plant softie has white lips so luscious you will probably just want to kiss it. Assuming it doesn’t start spewing fireballs at you.

This 14″ inch tall softie never needs watering, feeding, or caretaking of any kind. The only thing it needs is love. Wrap a beautiful bow around its stem and you just may have yourself the perfect Valentine’s gift. Nothing says I love you quite like a piranha plant.
All of us express ourselves through our appearance. Whether is it with piercings and tattoos, or your clothing and accessories, or a particular hair color and style, all of these things make a statement about who you are. Some statements are more bold and obvious than others. This particular accessory says two things, you are a nerd but you are also a bad ass. Maybe.

Note : This set includes all four rings, which are made from scrabble tiles being attached to silver tone ring bases by industrial strength glue.
Who in their right mind would mess with somebody wearing these? That’s what I thought.
