I have been having a lot of fun making patterns lately.

Made over at polyvore, you can see more sets there. 

1. http://illusively.tumblr.com/ – A currated tumblr blog with 99% illustrations and inspiration.

2. http://doveglass.tumblr.com/ – A blog of all things sweet and nice, pink and fluffy.

3. http://ghostlocket.tumblr.com/ – A blog for the darker posts.

4. http://automagical.tumblr.com – A collection of posts from Sushibird blog + Instagram.

I have four tumblr blogs at the moment. Just having one never felt right, it was hard to mix all the different things I wanted to collect in one single blog and keep it looking neat and clean visually. And I know myself – I wouldn’t bother to go back and look at the posts for inspiration if I did not keep things neat and clean, so that is why I ended up with four different blogs. (Well, technically it is 3 + a collection of my own things.) Above are the four I am currently keeping, feel free to follow / unfollow. Let me know if you have any tumblr blogs (especially themed), I would love to check them out.

I decided to celebrate spring (and new beginnings) and made an new layout with falling sakura petals. I know it is a hefty cheesy javascript, but I just couldn’t help myself.

すごくいいYoutubeのPLを見つけた！２００曲の昭和時代の音楽で、見てみてください〜　// I found an awesome playlist with over 200 songs from the Showa years. Feel free to look! Find the playlist here!

Here is another great gameplay video on youtube, this time it is Myst, released back in 1993. I can’t believe this game is 22 years old. It is absolutely amazing and way before its time. It is an adventure-point-and-click game with puzzles and riddles to solve and no enemies. I was also super excited to know that this game is available in the Apple store on iPhone now for a couple of bucks. Go download!

I recently got hooked watching gameplay videos on youtube with all the old games I used to play in the 1990s. Black Dahlia was one of my favorites. Black Dahlia is a 1998 FMV adventure game by Take-Two Interactive, a fictional story inspired by the real life Cleveland Torso Murderer and the unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short “Black Dahlia” in Los Angeles. This gameplay video series comes in 36 parts – all between 12 – 15 min long, so here is enough entertainment for quite a few hours. In reality it took a lot longer than this to play through the game, because some of the puzzles and queues were near impossible to figure out. This particular game can also be watched as a murder mystery movie, there are long movie sequences throughout the game. Dennis Hopper has a role in the game as well!

I really miss this genre of adventure point-and-click games with puzzles and riddles to solve. I wonder what ever happened to that category? I can not think of many newer games without much violence and without time restraints. If anyone has any recommendations, please do let me know.

I saw these amazing pieces of jewelry from Sparkle Beast Designs, and I just had to share. Aren’t they magical? I want one.
