This week's TILT probably isn't that great. I haven't been feeling me the last few days, I hope you'll forgive me.
The Photoshop Troll - I had a hearty laugh at many of these. Thanks Nova!
Check out these wicked cool double exposures.
This awesome website Drinkify - enter the music you are listening to and it suggests a drink recipe to accompany that music.
Really cool examples of forced perspective photography.
This awesome moment between a wild bobcat and a housecat (thanks to my lovely friend Jessica for this).
I've had a pretty shitty week and this video always makes me smile.
Why the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 is the worst idea ever.
Young People in the Recession: The War Against Youth.
This guy took video of his daughter every week from birth to 12 years old. The time lapse video he created from those shorter videos is pretty neat.
Neat things to do with upcycled shutters. My brain aches from the hipster aura that is oozing from this page, but whatevs, they're pretty.
Nerdy Day Trips. We're planning a trip to England/Ireland/Scotland and I think this could be pretty helpful!
The Evolution of Corporate Logos.
This site has lots of cool things, like Disney Star Wars, Famous Hairstyles, and freaking awesome Backyard Offices.
Your Scene Sucks.
The history of the bikini.
If you can't tell when I get even a little sad I transition to "super melancholy" pretty quickly, especially when it comes to Rob. I'm almost ashamed to tell you guys how stressed and bummed I've been the last few days when I know firsthand that it could be so much worse. I hope you'll still love me. Anyway usually when this feeling sort of descends on me I listen to sad (and still awesome) music, like this song and this song.

I started following a new blog the other day, and she has some excellent advice for how not to go insane when you have to deal with word verification while blog commenting. Seriously guys, ditch the word verification, but in the mean time, Expecto Patronum!
How to Get More Likes on Facebook.
Make any photo 3D in Photoshop!
Kurt Vonnegut's 8 Tips on How to Write a Great Story. Somehow I don't think these tips will allow you to write like Vonnegut, but hey, worth a try eh?
I really liked Alice's post on history and those historical events people may not know about.
A Christian group apologizes at a Chicago Pride Parade. This totally warmed my heart. My favorite line: "I hugged a man in his underwear. I think Jesus would have too."
Worst Album Covers of All Time. Some of these are NSFW. I think my favorite is the German Dwight Schtrute-ish one.
A Guide to Maine Slang. This made me miss home and feel like I was in high school again. Jeezum crow.
Vacationland: Rural Maine Chronicled in the Photography of Steven Rubin. For the record these images weren't taken in the part of Maine where I grew up, but they easily could have been.
15 Things You Should Give Up to be Happy. I think I might've posted this ages ago but it bears repetition. Thanks to Julia for this :)
The 21 Absolute Worst Things in the World.
Behind the Scenes "Star Wars" Photos.
63 Reasons why Boybands were Better in the 90s. I don't agree they were better or even passable but damn, those photos brought me back. I looked at every single one, and then simultaneously laughed and cried at myself.
When I had cancer at age 4 or so, my parents took me to Camp Rainbow, a non-profit camp for children with cancer and their parents. I went almost every year until I was 14 or 15, and after that became a program aid and a counselor. The camp is still going on and gets news coverage just about every year (my first year there I was in the newspaper!) and here is this year's article. I was totally floored that the kid they interviewed, who is now a counselor himself, was one of my campers in Arts and Crafts class.
5 Reasons Women will Rule the Future.
Blooper reel from the Subaru "Dog Tested" commercials. I'm amazed at how much smarter these dogs are than Cypress.
In case you were wondering, here is the recipe to that stew I talked about in my last post. Honestly, it could've done without the olives.
15 Important Moments in History (If Social Media was Around).
Most of you have probably read this but it's so awesome I'm posting it. Ashley Judd Slaps Media in the Face for Speculation over her "Puffy" Appearance. Fuck yeah Ashley Judd!

Acoustic version of my favorite song ever by one of my favorite musicians.
These tattoo dolls I've seen all over the place. My kids will have these one day.
Hilarious comic/article about the first season of Teen Mom.
This Russian version of MST3k called "Project Popcorn" that is basically a shameless ripoff (but hilariously so)
Possibly the best comic the Oatmeal has ever produced.
Okay, this one was really good too.

This tattoo headband for little ones. (1) I want one in my size or (2) I want to buy one now for my future daughter. Or son. I really don't care about gender roles.

While we're talking about Russian, I also like English names spelled in Russian characters. Mine is Кэйтлин. I know you're impressed.
I also like soft, almost-like-the-real-thing gluten-free bread, Claussen pickles and string cheese.
What are you loving this week?
