Hello! I'm trying to figure out what the song in this video is. It's a tumblr video, so I can't embed it here, but the link should take you to the post with the video. It sounds really familiar, but I can't quite place it. I don't know what kind of music it should be qualified under, hence the tags. Sorry about that! 

Edit: It's Sail by AWOLNATION. :)

I was watching an episode of Batman Beyond, called Earth Mover, and this one scene where the rock monsters are forming by slowly rising out of the ground reminded me of another cartoon I saw a while back. The scene was very similar, except instead of stone, the monsters were made of oil. I can't remember if it was a cartoon series or cartoon movie, but I have the vague idea some kind of adventure was involved, so it's more likely to have been a movie.

Any ideas?

Also, I don't know if it was from the mid to late 80s or the early to mid 90s.

The last couple of years my reading has dropped off quite a bit, larger due to switching from the train to driving for my regular commute. So I think the following list is roughly my last year’s worth of reading.

( What I’ve been reading, under the cut )

    So, I am kicking around a costume idea for a steampunk convention and I'd like the opinions of the community on how well it might work. I am of mixed Navajo ancestry and I'm planning a character of the same background, as there was some pretty dramatic history happening for my forebears around the Victorian/Edwardian period. I was thinking of making the iconic steampunk "corset as outerwear" from a traditional blanket, but am afraid that the fairly coarse wool yarns used will fray too easily. My idea for a solution is to weave each pattern piece individually, with a shaped selvage. Basically, I'd be making eight or ten small oddly shaped blankets, then stitching them together. I'd then make the same pattern from coutil and sandwich them together. I'd probably make it either front-lacing, or back laced with a closed front, because I'm afraid the nature of the fabric will make busk insertion a horror. Have any of you done a similar thing? Seen it done? Am I crazy for thinking this might work?

I'm looking for a new foundation but I have no idea what.

I currently use EL Double Wear because my skin has been pretty bad acne-wise for the past few years but now it's getting better I'd like something that's not quite as full coverage. I bought Double Wear Light but even in the lightest shade it's too dark.

My skin is oily (within 2 hours no matter what I use), acne-prone (still), sensitive and pale (I'm about NW10 in MAC right now).

Price isn't too much of an issue, but I'm in the UK so I need something that's easily available here.

Thanks for any help :)

Does anyone know where I can buy the China Glaze OMG collection?

I'm growing out a pixie cut...aiming for shoulder-length and at the moment it's still quite short and has some awkwardness ahead of it. A stylist did some highlights for me today but did not cut it at my request, and she suggested a volumizer. She used some (a pump spray) before blowing it dry, and it looked very cute indeed, much better than what I've been doing with it while I wait. I didn't think to ask her what kind she was using, but I noticed afterward that it wasn't stiff or sticky. I have spray gel, but it's definitely stiff after it dries. What kind of volumizer might work better? I don't need to have gigantic hair, just a little lift. Does anyone have a favorite brand? Best if it comes from a drugstore, but I'll spend up if I have to.

I'm breaking out BAD on the side of my face. I don't know where this came from and my face has been perfect for months now. I tried the say yes to cucumbers lotion since it had natural ingredients and my face is red and inflamed now! my whole face!

I stopped using cteaphil cleanser and lotion since I read the ingrediants are bad for your skin. I wash my face with honey which we get from a hive. and I use a green tea and apple cider vinegar toner everyday. I'm using my epiduo again now though I should probably hold off considering how irritated my face is..)

what am I doing wrong? what can I do about my face and breakout?? I'm going to Austin in 2 weeks and I don't know what to do :(

yes I eat healthy. fruits and veggies, daily exercise. drink only water and lots of it. my skin type is oily.

I'm really afraid of getting red marks now too :( I swear I'm not picking or touching the breakout.
