WHAT is THAT?

I feel like I post the Where She Went trailer like every four months. It’s probably my favorite trailer we’ve ever done. That voice over, it’s so sexy, it gives me chills.

I had been looking toward the Encouragement above the TV, a drawing of an angel with the caption Without Pain, How Could We Know Joy?

(This is an old argument in the field of Thinking About Suffering, and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries, but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate.)

John Green, The Fault in Our Stars (via criticalmess)

I love this book, but I don’t really agree with that particular argument.

Arrested Development Returns

BEST NEWS EVER

I’m really happy about this, but honestly I cannot believe it. I mean, I believe it, but it’s crazy that they got the whole cast to come back! Cannot wait.

From: My mom

To: Me, duh

Subject: Don’t get mad at me sending you this article. :-)

My Initial Thoughts: Oh holy Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, what fresh hell is this? That emoticon has an agenda.

Article: Single Ladies Get Married This Year!

Still single, even though you don’t want to be alone? No perspective on what you should be doing to meet, attract and keep the man of your dreams? If you find yourself longing for a mate this year, with none in sight, the one thing you know is that you aren’t doing SOMETHING right. There are plenty of good, single men out there, so what do you need to do to really find one?

[The rest here, if you care.]

Unsurprisingly, Mama Jarzab left out the source: Fox News.

I’m way behind on my DVRed episodes of Jeopardy!, so this is from like Christmas or whatevs, but I was still pretty stoked to see this Very Hungry Caterpillar clue! PYRG represent!

TBH, I would totally hit that, soul patch and futon and neon beer sign bedamned. He reads Joyce Carol Oates! And is played by my beloved Ryan Hansen. Don’t worry, you can be yourself with me! I say “hella” all the time!
