I don’t have time to write much tonight, but it’s been a few days without a post and I wanted to share a few great links with you guys.

Crystal Perch

I’ve sort of fallen in love with Aline (Yumi) Yamada, a Brazilian artist and illustrator who now lives in Columbus Ohio. I’m drawn to anything that features retro and/or stylized birds and trees, but I also love her cute girl illustrations. Check out her Etsy shop and get hooked like me!

National Geographic Atlas Puzzles

I was sort of hoping that the discovery of these interactive jigsaw puzzles would help me in my goal to learn the US state capitals, and all the world capitals. Unfortunately they’re a little too small to show that much detail, but still incredibly addictive and very satisfying to complete.

You can change the default settings to give you more (smaller) pieces, and also to rotate them randomly on the board. In my opinion, this makes it way more fun.

And lastly…

Win a free bathroom! (But there’s a catch…)

Rotorooter is giving away a free bathroom, decked out with the latest technology. It’s great news, as long as you like your bathrooms so pink that it reminds you of Strawberry Shortcake vomit.

The bathroom, which is so pink that even Barbie thinks it’s a bit much, includes a Nintendo Wii, a Sony Vaio laptop, a flat screen TV that functions as both a monitor and a heated towel rack (totally swank), an iPod, a fridge (also pink), a salon-style hairdryer, a pedi kit, and subscriptions to your favorite magazines.

Can I be the first to say that coffee shouldn’t be brewed next to the place that it’s, um, disposed of?
