I don't want to be bored
My life used to be exciting, chaotic and sometimes even dangerous. Out of a desire for self-preservation, I made a concious effort to make my life boring. Now-years later-I find I am bored.
I don't want to return to the chaos. Is there something between chaos and boredom? Do I attract the chaos, or is the chaos in me? I don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that I don't want to be bored.
Ask me anything

“Is this evidence that Parkland High School in Pennsylvania was built upon the ancient crash site of the Millennium Falcon? Are they secretly planning a Smugglers school? Did George Lucas re-edit this institution? Nah. It’s probably just coincidence. Or some mass conspiracy that we aren’t aware of.
A Millennium Falcon school would be awesome though. You could learn to be a scoundrel, learn how to speak Wookiee and where to hide your contraband cargo. Master the fine art of flying into a space creature’s mouth, battling Mynocks on its insides, and then flying out again.
Yes, at the Millennium Falcon School of Higher Learning, you will even learn the fine art of differentiating Moons from Space stations and negotiating a price for passengers with Jedi and farm boys. Enroll right away.”

According to French scenographer and architect Yann Falquerho, sometimes people really do want to live like their caged pets. There must be something to this notion because his awesome creation, La Villa Hamster, is immensely popular. This unusual hotel invites you to take a break from the rat race and experience the life of a pet hamster.
“42-year-old Falquerho always felt that the hotel industry did not pay any attention to the animal transformation niche. So he decided to open his own hotel designed with a hamster theme. Villa Hamster opened in 2009 and has been very popular ever since then. Located in Nantes, in western France, the hotel opened with a room tariff of $150 per night, but this was soon increased in accordance with the demand. “We have a lot of success with this little house. It is because of the concept to transform into an animal,” Falquerho told the press just a couple of weeks after the hotel was inaugurated.
So what exactly do you get to experience at the Villa Hamster? Well, for starters, the place dates back to the 1700s and it has cages for rooms. Other features include hay stacks to sleep on (accessible only through step ladders) and human-sized running wheels. Organic hamster grains are served in little containers, while guests sip water through a tube. The people staying at Villa Hamster supposedly even scramble about on all fours.
Falquerho is so pleased with the success of his venture that he is reported to have been considering expanding into replicating other animal habitats for humans. “Perhaps if we made a special house where you can transform into a dog or a cat, it might be popular,” he said.” He might be right!

Tel Aviv-based artist Shay Aaron constructs awesome miniaturized food sculptures at 1:12 scale that look almost completely edible. You can see hundreds more photos on Flickr and he also makes miniature food jewelry which is available over on Etsy. Yum!

Kyle Hepworth of Something a week came up with an awesome recipe for Candy Corn on the Cob.
“I don’t really like loose corn. I really like corn-on-the-cob. And I like candy corn, so it follows that I would probably love candy-corn-on-the-cob. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen candy-corn-on-the-cob. So I must make it.”
His reasoning is sound. We highly recommend visiting Kyle’s blog to read about his step-by-step trial and error process that ultimately led to the delicious creation you see here. Yet another reason to love candy corn!

Peekaboo! A grasshopper looks like it’s playing hide-and-seek as it peeps through a hole in a big green leaf. Amused photographer Steven Passlow took this awesome photograph of the playful insect in his garden in Australia.

“As writer John Hodgman once said, President Obama is America’s first modern nerd President. He’s a huge Trekkie and loves Superman. A certified nerd.
So when Nichelle Nichols, perhaps best known for her groundbreaking role as Uhura in Star Trek, visited the White House for Black History Month last February, the President and her didn’t just get a photo op together in the Oval Office. Oh no, they got a photo op in which they gave Vulcan salutes.
While flashing a Vulcan salute in public is neither a first for President Obama nor Mrs. Nichols, flashing one in the Oval Office has to be a first for both a sitting U.S. president and a Star Trek star. Perhaps?
The photo was taken back on Feb. 29, but Nichelle Nichols uploaded it to her Twitter earlier this evening, adding, “A photo came to me in the mail that I’ve kept for myself for over a week, but now it’s time to share it with Trekkers everywhere.” Live long and prosper.”

Awesome Bender Easter Egg!
Neatorama assembled a post of wonderfully geeky Easter eggs. These are some of our favourites: The Bender egg was made by Flickr user Rakka. We’d love it if someone fluent in binary code could decipher the binary egg for us. John Lamoroni assembled the entire lineup of characters from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. And, last but certainly not least, Pleated Jeans shared this awesome recreation of the famous Jaws poster.
Head over to Neatorama to see the rest!
The binary easter egg says “easter egg”! Thanks wasavoidingthinkingabouthomework!
