rock paper scissors lizard spock



"scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard posions spock, spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves spock, spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has rock crushes scissors"

Infinite Limits.

So, I'm currently studying for another maths exam, that I absolutely HAVE TO pass! And I've been studying limits, rational functions, non zero over zero, all that fun stuff that I hold so very close to my heart, and I got stuck on this one. It looked really simple, it was just a normal exponential function, but I somehow could NOT get the right answer. I literally spent like an HOUR looking at different ways to do it (it was even too simple to use L'hospital's rule!!!).. EVENTUALLY I realise that 1/4^infinity is equal to 0!!! Who would've thought!!!!!!

Now to study continuity, derivatives, Taylor & Mclaurin..The works.
HELP!!

We made more brownies...

We made brownies again tonight, and we want to show you a few pictures!! (Even though they're stolen from our old tumblr..) They turned out well!





So yeah they were good (very chewy and soft and warm, perfect with a glass of milk)
mmmmmmm

i was searching youtube a while back... and I somehow came across this:

Dim and Mil...??

If you're wondering where they are, why they haven't been posting, and if the thief and the cobblers has lost two thirds of it's admin...




WORRY NOT
They're VERY busy and VERY tired. They've been writing tests and doing spoken exams like crazy people...

They'll be back!!!!

Tips for a rainy day

Seeing as everyday life is SERIOUSLY getting me down, I try my very best to stay positive.

1.) By looking at very inspiring art. I like to put myself in the artist's shoes. What made them come up with this idea? Was it an accident? Or was it calculated, formulated, and hard earned? The best part is they're practically unanswerable questions. Which allows me to think and consider. (And takes my mind of the stuff thats bugging me..

2.) Thinking about huge concepts. Like when the earth was formed, how it looked when one second there was complete darkness, and the next there was light. It's a huge concept. It's so big, it makes any possible reason for you may have for panicking or worrying feel small and ridiculously insignificant!
If it's worse than just a normal case of worrying, I think about God, and how he has a plan for me. It helps me to realise that even though the small details of life frustrate me, there's a bigger plan. Over and above that, it reminds me that even though I'm a control freak galore, at the end of the day, I have no control and I never will.



3.) If possible I try to face the problem head on. Usually I can tell what's bugging me by thinking of different things going on in my life, and when I get a nervous, sick feeling in my stomach, that's it. If it's something I can sort out, I do. If I can't I...

4.) Do something that makes me relax. Watching glee, starting a knitting project, talking to some of the fantastic people in my life, and generally try to get things into perspective!

What do you do??

Happy happy happy birthday twins. I know that the past few years haven't been easy, and you've given up a lot to be here, but you must know I am REALLY proud of you!!!! And so so so thankful to have the most AWESOME sisters in the world! I know you guys are going to do amazing things, both of you, individually, and I can't wait to see the cool hipsters you guys turn out to be!

Shoes.

I absolutely love shoes. Here are a couple of shots I adore. All from a beautiful mess, same as the last post.





(her tights are awesome too!!)


Vintage!

I am addicted to this website, called a beautiful mess. The author Elsie, is so cool, and posts the best ideas and photos. Every time I look at her stuff, and her website, I feel immediately inspired. Her website, in some weird way, reminds me of where I want to be in a few years.

This turban is so weird, but SO cool! I could only dream of being able to pull something like that off!


She ALWAYS looks soo pretty! Even in VELVET!!!!!!!!

The Sartorialist.

Well, since my last post was about Vivian Maier, I was thinking my next should also be about another really amazing street photographer, that maybe you've already heard about. You can see his blog here, and you should definitely watch this video!

(Unfortunately on tumblr it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to give people credit because everyone reblogged everyone. In this case, I linked the blog I got it off, it seems only fair...)
