Dancing and enjoying the beats!
Oh, my God.
Tom Hiddleston AND Jeremy Irons? If this series turns out to have Timothy Dalton as well, I would honestly die of the awesome.

You ought to have ripped hers off and left the store with them.
Ha! Yes, I should have. I’ll remember that for next time. I’ll hang it from my wall as a trophy of war.

It’s bad enough that the media make woman obsess about their body image; it blows my mind that other women would be just as bad/judgmental. Perhaps I’m just being naive.
I think (hope) that this woman was an exception. There’s a couple others I know who ‘feel sorry’ that I have the size I have. I personally don’t care; it’s annoying that I’ve a non-standard size, but my breasts have always fit my body type and I’m happy they do. They look good, so I honestly don’t give two shits what the media thinks I should have. Getting laughed at by a woman who’s only virtue probably is her tits? Yeah, that irks me though.

I feel your pain even though I am at the opposite end of the spectrum. My chest size (underside) is smaller than my cup size by quite a significant amount so they look at me weirdly if I ask for anything that doesn’t fit their size range!
Bah, annoying! You’d think that by now they’d have learned to not look as surprised as they do when you ask for something that’s not very standard, I can’t imagine them only getting women who have a bra size that fits the size range neatly. Then again, it’s probably not a standard size range for nothing.
After my recent success in finding a bra that fits, I was bold enough to go into the store today to look for more, and perhaps a bikini too.
How I wish I hadn’t.
I literally got laughed at by the girl behind the counter when I asked for my size, because “we don’t carry a size that small”. The derisive look on her face when she looked at my (modest, I admit) chest, made me want to pull her over the counter and show her that what I lack in breasts, I have in overabundance of muscle tissue.
This is not the first time something like this has happened, either. Usually, however, the rather well-endowed ladies that work in stores like that are just really dim-witted and unaware there actually exists something as small as my size. Or as uncommon as my size, I should say, because while it’s small, the real culprit is my undersize (if that’s what you’d call it in English), which is smaller than is usual for women of my age.
But ugh. I hate bra-shopping.
I've decided to follow your wonderful blog, due to the MtG awesomeness. Out of curiousity, which colours do you mainly run? I always wonder if i'm alone with my colour choices
Aah, thanks for the follow, then!
I usually play any combination of U, B and/or W, and lately I’ve been messing around with RW as well. Green is by and far my least played colour.
Keeping my life total on this means I cannot die. Get it? GET IT?! #Egyptologyhumor (Taken with instagram)
Does Boets wear a Fedora hat around the house?

No, the only hat that suits him is a top hat, and no matter how much I beg him, he never gives in. Sigh.
After last week’s Adventure Gone Awry with RW Humans, for tonight’s Standard event I decided to pick myself a deck the cards of which I have (or know 100% sure I can borrow). It’s UW Geist, and I’ve had it assembled for ages (in fact, right after Wescoe won with a similar list), but for some reason I never actually played it in any event, just on Cockatrice and against Mike.
List after the jump!
Favourite artists of Magic: the Gathering, part two: Michael Komarck.
I’m a very big fan of Komarck’s art, because it has a very distinct style. Of course every artist has his or her own style, but Komarck’s really speaks to me with the almost grungy style. Here, also, the background is there, but simply to support the focal point of the card - and more importantly: to add to it.
Especially Veteran Swordsmith, which is by far my most favourite piece of Komarck art, has an amazing play of composition and use of colours. My favourite part, aside from the swordsmith’s arms, are the flames behind her, the colour of which returns is in the sword she’s smithing. Also, I like smithing. I want to learn it some time.
As for Elspeth and Sorin, I love how he gives both ‘Walkers so much character with just a few brush strokes.
You can see how Sorin is planning some sort of mischief involving the one looking at him and whatever it is he’s going to pull out of his sleeve. It may be brandy. Or a cigar. Because Sorin is one classy bastard.
And Elspeth is standing there, looking at the viewer and telling him/her with her look that she’ll stand to protect the weak - and that she’s one tough bitch and no one messes with her and gets away with it. If you’re misbehaving, she also might decide to spank you with her sword.
Komarck seems to have a thing for clothing with flowing bands of fabric, too. Because that’s badass.
Love this one, because Cleo is like “bitch, I arrived here in a fucking carpet, you BETTER give me what I want”, and Caesar is like, “wait, wtf just happened here?”
