Ah this is great. $900.

Ahh I loved Gavin and Stacey (although I still haven’t gotten around to series 3) and I love Alexis Bledel and I think Jason Ritter is goofycute BUT I don’t think this show will be great.

happy birthday!

The whole Schmidt-CeCe thing irritates me. I could understand playing it out if she was on the fence about dating him, but I feel like she is pretty firmly not interested (in anything more than sex, anyway). And I didn’t like the whole Schmidt-in-Indian-garb thing. BUT I still make sure to watch that and Mindy now, even forsaking Parks & Rec for the past several weeks.

Also when people lump Northern Virginia in with the rest of the state, we get offended.

Ha, as someone else originally from a small Virginia town I will probably watch this because I really love this place.

Some please write this story in full. I don’t even need a movie, I can picture all the actors in their roles.

Ahhh I accidentally downvoted you and I can’t fix it and I’m sorry.

Holy crap this is exciting. I loved season 1, I still break into giggles thinking about Mark trying to dress himself and jumping into his shoes. And the cast of bachelors looks great. Ahhh. Yay.

So I have only ever seen the Daniel Craig Bond’s, and I had to google Moneypenny because I didn’t understand why that was a big deal, but I loooved this. Mostly for aesthetic reasons, Craig & Whishaw & the pretty ladies & the whole thing at Skyfall. Especially the whole thing at Skyfall.

That’s it. I have no complaints. I was thoroughly entertained and did not feel like I’d been sitting there for 2.5 hours.

It’s somehow easier to see when it’s smaller, maybe because I’m less scared it’s gonna be a surprise .gif and scare me by blinking. Cool sentence.

So I’m a fun. apologist, because of The Format and the first fun. album and because the singer inexplicably reminds me of my aunt. I think they are actually really sincere lyrically, and even though I agree that the autotune is excessive (I think any autotune is excessive) I still find myself trying to make my voice sound like a robot when I sing along to their songs. And when you see them live and they play “One Foot” it’s just a great time.

But I can see why people would have a problem with them. I don’t watch SNL/late night shows so I have never seen them perform on TV but I imagine it could be a difficult translation from album/live to tv shows.

While we’re talking about cute men doing cute things, here is some Ryan Gosling news for you:

Apparently Fassy showed up as well.

Squeeeeeee! When Ben got down on one knee, I clapped my hands over my open mouth and didn’t breathe and criiiiied. Perfect. I don’t even know what else happened on that show because that was so perfect and amazing.

Good luck!

I have all the eps (thanks to the dropbox)–I can send ‘em your way tonight!

I only made it to the first commercial break in Elementary. I wanted to like it but I just can’t bring myself to care, especially after a friend clued me in on how terrible CBS was in creating it.

That cartoon character looks just like Amber Benson.

 +1Posted on Sep 10th, 2012 | re: Amanda Bynes Is The New Ms. Cool Disguise (21 comments)

YES out of character! I couldn’t believe that happened. I mean I guess there was no real chance for redemption, but I was very surprised by that.

 +11Posted on Aug 30th, 2012 | re: Benedict Cumberbatch Does Not Seem Very Excited About Elementary (51 comments)

Little snarky there, Benny. “Fancy house, expensive clothes.” I would watch JLM read the phonebook, so maybe I’m not the most impartial judge, but it seems to me that other than both being modern the shows are completely different. Sherlock is 3 nearly-movie-length episodes every couple years. Hopefully Elementary will be, what, 43-minute episodes every week for a full season (or more)? I think they’re trying to do very different things.

That said, I doubt they would have done Elementary if it weren’t for the success of Sherlock. I just don’t see why we can’t be happy about all the interpretations, especially when we haven’t even seen Elementary yet.

I think this is the best Petting Zoo yet. Something for everyone. Laughs, tears (was that just me, with the baby flamingo), d’awwwws. Great job.

I think he’s actually so uncool he’s cool. He just doesn’t even care. And I like that.

So I started a compost bucket a couple months ago, and man it stank to high heaven so I would throw in shredded newspaper to combat the smell, and my house is so hot so nothing helped, and I eventually just stopped adding anything to the bin. For like 6 weeks. So I should probably just throw away this pretty ceramic bucket, right, because it’s going to be disgusting to empty/clean/whatever? And either start over or just realize that I am not a composter?

For the record, I couldn’t even watch this video because I hate rotting things.
