Remember the incredible Kanye West Cross-stitch? Well,  my fiancée Carolina has raised the bar for Christmas gifts.

She took our favorite tweets from our parody accounts (@luigimario and @princessssdaisy) and asked Amy Sheridan, the artist of the original Kanye pieces, to recreate them in fabric form. They are now hanging on my wall underneath the Zelda prints, and they are incredible.

Luigi’s reads: “Sometimes, when I’m lying in my bed at night, and I can hear Mario choking on my gum below me, I know everything is going to be okay.

Daisy’s reads: “It’s @luigimario and I’s anniversary today! Luckily, we were able to escape Mario and Peach’s present - a Twilight reenactment.

The accounts are side projects, I started @luigimario three years ago for fun, and he soon attracted a thousand followers. Carolina jumped into the action in fall of 2010, and has taken to it incredibly well.

Seriously, the bar has been raised. I am so happy and blown away, this was a fantastic gift.

Thank you sweetheart. You are super great. I love you!

2012

2011 was an amazing year, and 2012 should turn out to be equally as fantastic, if not even more fantastic. Now, while the rate of fantastic that will occur in 2012 is not strictly based on the amount of fantastic that occurred in 2011, if we base our estimates off of the previous year, we can make a reasonable assumption that 2012 will be fantastic.

I can’t understand what I just wrote.

Pushing all of that confusing blather aside, I just pray that Peter Jackson and the cast/crew of The Hobbit can save the world before the Mayans all come back and shoot arrows at our knees.

Isn’t that what the general fear is right now? From the current state of the internet, that’s what it seems like. Maybe if we defeat SOPA (which I can only assume is an ancient Kraken from the depths), we will have nothing to fear.

Let’s start 2012 off right. I’m going to start reading The Great Gatsby, and you look at this great picture of Raphael punching Hitler in the face.
