"On Tuesday the 25th of June, to celebrate the 110th birthday of George Orwell, surveillance cameras in the center of the city of Utrecht were decorated with colorful party hats!"
Just love all of this - read about it all here.
“If you have an overnight guest staying with you, offer them a drink (regular or alcoholic) before they go in to take a shower. Someone did this once with me and it was a refreshing delight to be naked, clean and drinking something cold all at once. Just a delight.”
Dumb yes, but this always makes me smile.
Steve Carell - How To Swat A Fly
Just saw this video where Chris O'Dowd eats a fly or something - but that's not even the good part. Steve Carell has a genius idea of swatting a fly. Just watch the first thirty seconds.

“Keeping tiny little frog figurines around your house will bring money into your home.”
Skittles Vodka Tutorial
This is the easiest thing in the world to make. Especially for a party. I made it for the first time last summer when I helped throw a wedding shower for my brother and now sister-in-law, and it was tasty as hell and people loved it. You can read the tutorial here.
“Michael Jackson was one of the last figures of our time who could, in his very presence, describe the possibilities of pop. He wasn’t just the King — he was the entire domain, the rules and regulations, the dream-horizon of the citizenry, the place where the land met the heavens.”
MJ
It's been four years since he died - still not over it.
The part that starts at 4 minutes and 34 seconds? Man. You gotta have a heart of STONE to not be affected by the tone of his voice throughout that minute long verse.
What a fucking man.
The Frat Party - The Mindy Project
This episode of The Mindy Project is for sure my favourite episode of the first season. If you haven't seen any episodes, this is maybe a good sample to start on. Why am I sharing this? In honor of this fine lady's birthday that happened yesterday.
Best parts of the 'sode?
- The introduction of the new nurse Tamara.
- "This is why I love him - he looks like the villain in a National Lampoon movie, but he's not. He's, like, into Haiti."
- "You know what would cheer you up?" "McDonald's."
- "Oh, ok... I get it. It's to make the party more difficult."
- "This lil' sonofabitch aside."
- "You look ridiculous and you smell terrible." "I look fine and smell legit."
- "Holy cow, did you see that?"
- Morgan's impression of Danny.
- "I don't where I end and he begins."
Ike Barinholtz is perfect. Lord love him. Such a great episode.
The Bling Ring - A Review
Don't see it. Why?
- All of the acting was atrocious (with the exception of maybe two actors - and that's two OUT OF A WHOLE CAST).
- Emma Watson's accent will embarrass you and the audience that surrounds you. My face squinched up every time she had a line, it was excruciating and too far past uncomfortable.
- Other than the robbing, absolutely nothing happens. There's no story. Really - none at all. I don't really understand how it came to be a full length movie since there's so little going on at all times.
- The script is awful. All of it. Somehow it shocks me that notable people read it and gave it the go ahead.
Those points don't convey what I'm trying to say. I think I was just excited to see it 'cause it was Sofia Coppola and it's been three years since her last movie - but the lesson has been learned, world. God, what a piece of trash.
