Vacation, All I Ever Wanted! Random Links from a Mind that's Already in California.

Metric Jenn

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Metric Jenn? Doing links? Yes, it is a change from the lovely lady regulars, but you see, I am going on vacation for 2 and a half weeks, and I felt bad for not having contributed much lately. So really, these links are the LEAST I can do before I say 'fuck it' to everything. Case in point, I still have one work day left, but I mentally checked out of that place like...a week ago.

But enough of that rambling - LET US BEGIN THE LINKENING!

So, I've been perusing tattoo site lately, as I have a tattoo from when I was younger that I want covered up with something nice, so thankfully FuckYeahTattoos has given me loads of ideas! 

My local tattoo artist friend also told me to go to Dafont to get ideas for script. Now if only I'd done this kind of research for that first tatt. Oh, the follies of youth!

If you're in need of a quick laugh this morning, check out these photos of terrified "bros" from the Nightmares Fear Factory haunted house in Niagara Falls.  Lots of hugging and hiding going on!  (BuzzFeed)

Huh.  I kinda dig Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's coordinating tattoos, both portions of a famous speech.  You'll never guess the source of that speech.  (The Gloss)

I don't care what the authors of this piece think, those zombie Martian Muppet costumes are pretty fantastic.  (Vulture)

Summer may be the most popular time to travel, but I love vacationing in autumn - temps are cooler, places are less crowded, and those annoying kids who would ruin your flight are all back in school (HA! Take that, punks!).  So where should you head if you're taking to the road this fall?  You can start at the International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico, shown here.  (National Geographic)

Me, I want to visit these amazing "hanging" pools that make it appear as if you're swimming in mid-air.  I just need to hurry up and win the damn lottery already!  (The Atlantic)

Hump Day Links Are Here!

Animals do have amazing instincts, no?  Particularly their uncanny sense of timing, as this slideshow of animal photobombs can attest.  (HuffPo)

Did you know that they still offer Glamor Shots in some malls around the country?  I thought those went out with the '80s.  These Soviet shots almost make me want to have my own glamor session... almost.  (The Gloss)

Look, I loved the minions from "Despicable Me," but a whole movie of nothing but them jabbering away in their gibberish might be too much for me to handle.  (AV Club)

There are just some things that aren't a good idea for gifts on Valentine's Day. It doesn't matter how much thought went into it, it's just bad juju for your scoring prospects. I've snagged what I deem to be shitty Valentine's Day Gifts. Feel free to argue or agree in the comments.
