[a blog for cool, crappy GIFs] My food blog, "I Cooked This, NBD" Mary Literary This is Cindi. She hates everything. Also, she's not a real person.

There is a Bollywood version of A Nightmare on Elm Street. It is… weird as hell. It’s also more than two hours long, but good news! I made a supercut of the weirdest parts so you can appreciate how very, very bizarre it is that this thing exists.

If you’re worried your writing isn’t good just remember temperatures are rising and all writing, good and bad alike, will soon be underwater.

After Ephesus, I kept taking pictures of tourist taking selfies as a project while touring Istanbul. I don’t have a good name for this series yet. These were taken on the Galata Bridge over the Bosphorus, around Topkapi Palace, and in the park around the Hagia Sophia.
