Grinching

This child clearly does not realize that books are the BEST Christmas presents.

Getting ready to TAKE ON THE WORLD! YEAH!

I'm so inspired, you guys. Can somebody find me a bear? I need to wrestle something.

Ugh, SO TIRED.

School is the worst. But guess what? It's Dancing Dog Day! Look, I got you presents!





Youtubes for everyone!

Questioning My Life Choices

PSYCHE! Becoming a grad student was an excellent decision!



I've made a huge mistake.

This site is killing me. At first I was like



But then I was like



(Google Tip: DO NOT search images for "dead kitten" unless you want to be scarred for life. And/or terribly, terribly depressed.)

*headdesk*

Everything is terrible.

(for those reading this late, this is supposed to be the promo for "Bridalplasty", a reality show where contestants compete for plastic surgery procedures in preparation for their wedding day. Bridalplasty. Awesome.)

UPDATE:

Everything just got terribler.


UPDATE 2: UPDATE HARDER

I was wrong.



Now everything is terrible.

No Comment

Seriously.



Ugh.

Dancing Like I'm Donny Osmond

RRWWAAAARRRR!!!

You know, the discovery of the Americas was pretty cool and all (genocide! yay!), but what it really needed was more GRATUITOUS MALE SHIRTLESSNESS (for non-clickers: director McG plans 300-style Christopher Columbus movie). Thanks McG! Can you maybe try the American Revolution next?



I don't normally watch Robot Chicken but if this is representative of its content, MAYBE I SHOULD START. (I probably shouldn't start.)

AHHHHHHHHHH!11!!!!!

Okay, so last week the internet was all linking to this video of a guy free-climbing a 1700ish-foot transmission tower. Really high, not too safe, but not (in my opinion) as terrifying as many people seemed to find it. I mean, it's not the safest thing in the world, but at least he's not being a complete idiot (YMMV). Then someone linked to the video below, saying it was worse. Whatever, I said. Probably won't be too bad, I said. But when it hits the two-minute mark...



SWEET FANCY MOSES, HOW ARE THESE DUDES STILL ALIVE?

Having a Bad 90s Flashback

You guys, 7th Heaven was the worst. And it went on for eleven seasons. Apparently there was a large population of WB-watching masochists that I wasn't aware of. And I guess they all had very strong feelings about pot? I don't even know.





(Eleven seasons. And they actually canceled it after the tenth season, but brought it back due to - popular demand? Being held at gunpoint by a crazed fan? Consulting a magic 8-ball? Whatever. The worst.)

Oprah-fying Myself

Oh wait, no I'm not, because that's stupid. You could though. I know you want to. We all know you call in sick to work so you can secretly watch Oprah in pajamas while eating Rocky Road and drinking margaritas. SHAME!

NOT Eating Lemons

Oh, babies. Never change.

Dogs are Crazy? Yeah, Pretty Sure That's Accurate

Dog in Elk

Dog Has a Sweet Potato

Swaying

I'm not sure if this video of a cruise ship caught in a cyclone is ultimately relaxing, hilarious, or terrifying. The music says relaxing, but a lifetime of watching America's Funniest Home Videos has me cracking up. On the other hand, holy crap! A lady faceplants into a pole! People may or may not be getting crushed by giant cabinets! A guy almost gets hit by a forklift! This is not a drill!



The sea is a harsh mistress indeed.

Thinking About What To Do Today

What could I do today? So many possibilities. For instance, let's check in on what Sean Penn is doing:



Nazi hunting could be cool. No one would argue with that.

Alternately, I could lip-sync to Katy Perry songs and post it on YouTube, like Keenan:

But you know what I am definitely not going to do today? I am not going to sprain my ankle. I mean, I totally did that already yesterday. Doing it again today would just be overkill.

Wishing MY Dog Could Play Pool

Napping Because it is Now SNAZZY to Do So

Hmmm, what could make my napping experience better...



It's SOOO CONVENIENT. It will go perfectly with my Snuggie and TV Hat!

Craving

And now for something completely different - mmmmm, food. British cooking shows are the best. This is a new one with Sophie Dahl, former model and Roald Dahl's granddaughter.





She also has a cookbook that I believe I may covet.

Doing it Wrong

Feeling Confused

At first you think, "No, this cannot be a real thing," but it is. Alas, it is all too real.

Avoiding Work by Looking at Cats

Watching "Howling Mad" Murdock fanvids

...at two in the morning. DON'T JUDGE ME. COMMUNITY IS ON HIATUS THIS WEEK and I'm going through withdrawal. Also, Dwight Schultz rules. The music choices are baffling, though. I mean, "How to Save a Life"? "Over my Head"? Is there some secret connection between The A-Team and The Fray that I don't know about?





PS: TRASH BAGS!

Punching Things AAARRGGHHH

Can you HANDLE the MANLINESS of these ACTION-PACKED THRILL-RIDES? CAN YOU?!?

WATCHING A FREAKING DISASTER MOVIE!!!!

HECK YEAH 2012! THE LIMO SCENE WILL NOT SOON BE FORGOTTEN! BEST OUTRUNNING OF A DISASTER SINCE THEY OUTRAN THE FREAKING WEATHER IN "THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW"! NOW THEY'RE OUTRUNNING FREAKING EARTHQUAKES AND TSUNAMIS!



SPOILER ALERT! THIS MOVIE IS FREAKING AWESOME!

Rubber-Necking

Making Bread

This is pretty much exactly how I do it. Minus the shirt-ripping part, naturally. Wouldn't want to waste a perfectly good shirt.

Having Negative Feelings about Kissing

So I was flitting around YouTube, as one does, searching for that clip from 10 Things I Hate about You where the English teacher raps Shakespeare (not time-wasting, totally school-related), and I came across this channel. This chelstheaggie09 person makes videos connecting various actors through onscreen kisses, a variant of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game I guess. It's...kind of gross, actually. All that kissing, spreading saliva, and who knows what else, becomes increasingly icky and weird as you watch it, quite apart from the individual merits (or lack thereof) of each kiss. IDK. Maybe it's just me. Decide for yourself:

Wondering

PS: You know what's awesome? Dogs. Dogs are freaking awesome.

Reading about Scurvy

I'm not gonna lie, you guys, I get totally excited about scurvy. Share my joy!

Wikipedia entry.

Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentleman Solved the Greatest Medical Miracle of the Age of Sail (book by Stephen R. Brown that was my personal introduction to the topic).

Scott and Scurvy (a super interesting post about how the cure for scurvy was lost in the second half of the nineteenth century).

Fun scurvy fact time! The term "limey" is believed to have originated from the British Navy's supplying lime juice to their sailors to prevent scurvy. Also, having an effective cure for the disease during the Napoleonic wars was a key reason for the victory of the British, allowing their ships to be at sea for longer because their sailors were in better health!

Now celebrate your new-found knowledge with a tall glass of orange juice! Because you really don't want to be getting scurvy. Scurvy isn't cool.
