This is probably one of my most favourite music videos of the last ten years or so. I can control myself now, but the first couple times I saw it? So teary, man. So f-ing teary.
Beyoncé - I Was Here (Live at Roseland)
George Orwell's 110th Birthday
"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.
