There is so much to love about Evgeni Plushenko mashed up with Ginuwine's "Pony".  So much.

Quite the remix.

A Holiday Message From NPR (by Joshua Louis Simon)

Impossible to resist a good NPR parody.  Their voice cadences = perfection.

What To Read After Watching “Love Actually:” A Flow Chart

Ah, what a futile attempt at being creative. Seems everyone else had the same stupid idea. Also, if you must do this, at least get signs with better typography.

I really, really loathe this sign.

Best thing ever-- be sure to change the channels.  History Channel and fake reality shows FTW.

Not ashamed to admit that this is probably the stupidest thing to make me laugh today.

My favorite part about this book was when Alix constructed a tube of medieval materials to enable her to pee standing up so none of her Crusades-bros would suspect her subterfuge.  This is what I think of every time someone is talking about the camping-peeing-lady-aid called the Shenis.

What is your favourite book?

ALL THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS. though more ~adult~ books i love are railsea by china mieville, wolf hall/bringing up the bodies by hilary mantel, and the historian by Elizabeth Kostova.also one of my faaaaavourite series of all time is called the shield of three lions by pamela kaufman, which is this lolarious historical fiction trilogy (VERY much fictional) about a young woman named alix who disguises herself as a boy and ends up on the crusades, and richard the lionheart falls in love with her as a little boy, and she’s like, SURPRISE i’m actually a sixteen year-old girl!, and he’s like, UHHH I TOTALLY KNEW THAT, I’M NOT INTO LITTLE BOYS, HOW DARE YOU. and they have this torrid affair, but meanwhile her real love is this gruff bearded scottish young man named enoch. at one point she meets robin hood and kills prince john. it. is. amazing.
