geeky recipe and party ideas
Wow… one of the coolest bathrooms I’ve seen in a long time!
Take a look at this Horde-themed bathroom created by a WOW-playing couple:
The view from the door.
Love the potions!
You can see more pics from the couple on their photobucket page.
What geeky pastime would you model your bathroom after?
(I’m still loving the Harry Potter bathroom I saw about a decade back at the Street of Dreams. It had a mirror of Erised and everything!)

After partnerships with the likes of Barbie and Hello Kitty, MAC decided to use their powers for good, and team up with Wonder Woman.
Expect lots of powerful colors and great packaging hitting stores February 10th. (In perfect time for Valentine’s Day… I’d much prefer this to flowers!)

The amazing Alamo Drafthouse holds a yearly LOTR marathon. However, this marathon’s better than any you may have attended: it includes an 8 course feast fit for the hungriest hobbit.
The menu includes fresh, comforting meals that are all inspired from the cuisine of the characters in the movie.

The Seattle Wedding show featured many cakes and cupcakes, as is expected. But what else did I spy there?
PIE.
Not just any pie. No. Because pie would be the new cake. So what would be the new cupcake?
CUP-PIES. Seriously. These exist, they’re adorable, and they’re delicious. It’s like you want to pinch their cheeks and then eat their face. Sorry… too weird? Did I cross a pie line? I dunno.
CupPies (and other delicious pies) are available at Shoofly Pie Co., located in Seattle.
After spending a weekend saturated with all the awesomeness of the Seattle Wedding Show, I’m all about the wedding talk. So when this appeared in my newsfeed today, I had to pass it on:

And a shot of the happy couple, getting ready to cut the cake.
Between this and the Ghostbuster/Inception “trailer” going around, I’m craving a Ghostbusters viewing tonight. Maybe I’ll have some cake while I’m at it.
Stay tuned for more geeky wedding/event ideas this week as I introduce you to some of my favorite things from the Seattle Wedding Show!
Now hear’s an idea to cut down on costs, show a bit of personality, and be able to invite EVERYONE you want… Get married at a mall!
(Wedding reveal at 2:45)
The idea seemed a bit silly at first, but seeing the beautiful vows and the emotions of the bride and groom reminded me that no matter where you hold your wedding, you’re still getting married. I hope to have the love and emotion that this couple (and their entire wedding) has on my wedding day!
…Plus seriously, wedding costs would go WAY down.
Now that the new year is here, folks are clamoring to be a part of the latest and greatest trends. But what will they be? Upon conversations, research, and speculation, here are my opinions:
Tech
CES is currently going on, and news stations are quickly stating their predictions for the best sellers. Fox News believes it to be tablets, and CNN believes it to be anything Android-based. With the new Android OS for tablet being announced, I’m seeing some collaboration. And this may be one of the only things Fox and CNN have ever agreed on!
Moral: Sell that netbook now and start saving up for the Android tablet of your choice.
Food
I love cupcakes. We all know this. Unfortunately, cupcakes are apparently “no longer trendy” in 2011. For most of 2010 people were expecting donuts or macaroons to take the crown, but near the end of 2010 a new challenger rose victorious: the pie. Although I don’t want to admit it, you can’t fight both NPR AND Betty Crocker on it. However, I take solace that both sources have also claimed “upscale junk food” as a 2011 trend. I can’t wait to play around with some fun recipes for that!
Moral: You’ll start seeing pie shops popping up around the country. I’m guessing you’ll be able to stop in for a nice pot pie and end with a mini sweet pie for dessert.
Entertainment
We’re all tired of vampires. Werewolves tried to trend but didn’t stick. Zombies made a decent comeback with “Walking Dead”. But what will 2011 bring?
With the success of True Grit, the anticipation of Aliens and Cowboys, and the appearance of Western and Steampunk influences in events and weddings, I’m gonna call it: 2011 will be the year of the Western. Folks will love the chance to leave their tech toys behind and dream of simpler, dirtier days, even if it’s just for a couple hours in a theater.
Moral: Trade in those custom fangs for a nice set of spurs.
What are your thoughts for 2011? Any trends you’re hoping to see?
Giga Pudding is terrifying. Some sort of large custard dish found in Japan, the ad features screaming child-songs about the pudding, along with some images of people enjoying it way too much.
So my friends at LaughPong decided to do something about it.
I would post the recipes for their homemade Giga Pudding, but I don’t hate you all. Seriously. There are still remnants in some of their fridges. And I think it’s growing. Don’t make this. Your guests will not like it. Make cookies instead. For the love of all that is good, please.
