I have been neglecting this space for a little while now. Would like to blame it on the cold weather which made my hands freeze; -9 degrees that according to the weather forecast felt like -17 degrees. Shanghai has an odd sort of cold - the humid type that leaks into your bones no matter how many layers you're wearing. Evidence: My heater also broke down during the coldest weekend in 35 . . .
Panda Hunting
IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! DAY 3/7 Today, I have a game for you - SPOT THE PANDA. Loving this little festive puzzle by Gergely Dudás, via @Picame.

Mirrored Geometry
Witchoria (aka.

It’s One of Those Days
I am a rather kind soul without a penchant for violence, but I must say... I LOVE THIS NOTEBOOK. You can buy it via CoolHunting. . . .
Beauty in Darkness
"Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back, tell a friend. Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back..." *music plays in the background* Yes, I'm back from my brief hiatus (with a massive tan) - adventured around Turkey & Greece for the past few weeks, which was more amazing than I could've imagined with each city being so . . .
