Even if this video was faked, I still love it.
Depop
Ummm, this seems amazing. I feel like this app might basically be a more modern (and fun) version of eBay.
Sidenote: Happy Birthday, Marla! You're the kindest person I know and I love you an unholy amount. I hope your day was lovely!
Life Advice For Struggling Artists By Matthew Weiner
Matthew Weiner (the creator of Mad Men) just wrote this really great piece for Fast Company and if you've ever tried to create anything - I think you'll get a lot out of reading it.
My Nephew In A Commercial!
My nephew, Camden, is in a Luvs commercial! He's the second kid (Lucas) and he's adorable as hell in it.
Tiny Dogs Who Think They're Big
Other than my mom and Ma, am I the last person on earth who still kind of enjoys AFV? If you don't know what that stands for, I'm not telling you and you're not better than me.
Jordan Schlansky on Conan
I know these clips are old, but there's something about this man (if he isn't an actor) that I can't stop watching. I don't mean 'cause he's good looking - it's just the way in which he speaks. Everything that comes out of his mouth is so eloquent and funny.
Great
Love this. Thanks for sending it along, Jenn!
First Podcast Appearance!
I was on my first podcast! And maybe that doesn't warrant an exclamation mark, BUT I THINK IT DOES! I'll forever be impressed by anyone I know being on a podcast or having their own, so I was pretty excited to be on this one. Give a listen if you care to!
A sincere thank you to Kate Wolff and Joe Santagato for having me on!
Glutton For Gravy: One Man's Journey To The Bottom of the Boat
I'm here to tell you that dreams can come true. My brother, Gary, STARTED A GRAVY BLOG.
Maybe that doesn't seem big to you (and if it doesn't, we can discuss that privately later), but it's huge. He, more than anyone, knows about good gravy. And since it's long been listed among my favourite things to eat, I'm so excited he's started documenting his gravy travels.
He moved to Ireland earlier this year, so the posts will be focused on that general area - but I'm really hoping he'll continue it and expand the posts to wherever he travels from here on out.
How can an entire blog be devoted to gravy? How can he find unique ways to describe his experiences? Can various gravies really taste that different from one another? All I can say is that he has answers for all of these questions. And you should see for yourself.
Fury 325
The Fury 325 opens later this month at Carowinds and it’ll be the tallest and fastest giga coaster in the world and um, it looks amazing.
