Man Misses Whale Sighting
I’m not saying I’m any better AT ALL, but something needs to change. Imagine missing a whale that close? Man.

Last Holiday
Did you see this movie? It came out in 2006. And honestly? It's a really good time. I'm purposely not posting the trailer for it here since it has one of those trailers that are way too long and give the entire movie away (why does this happen, it makes ZERO sense). And I don't really want to do a point-by-point review of it since it's not technically a "really good movie." It just made me feel so good in a way that makes me watch it once a year or so. Kind of the way that Julie & Julia makes me feel good. Am I confessing too much to you here? Other than my brother Robbie, absolutely no man on earth will think this movie is a good time (is this sexist or just accurate... no idea). But if you're a woman and we're friends? I feel like you should give this a chance at some point. Just a heads up.
Simpsons Valentines
Where the hell were the printed versions of these Valentine's Day cards when I was a kid? WHERE?!
If you really aren't going to mail out any Valentine's Day cards this year (and why aren't you? Too busy? If you're reading this blog, you're not too busy.) then you should really be using these Simpsons ones or any of the Bob's Burgers ones I recently came across because they're fantastic. You can see the rest of the Simpsons ones over here.
Fitness Beees
This is a safe space, right? 'Cause I have something to tell you.
My boyfriend and I... started a fitness/health joint-Instagram account. Try to reserve your judgement here, okay? I know how it sounds when couples do certain things that make their friends roll their eyes, I really do. I roll my eyes at a lot! Well, I don't actually, but I understand the eye-rolling. We really just wanted to start it 'cause we've been talking about doing it since we started making juices two years ago and it seemed like it might be helpful in even a small way to try and maintain.
So far we've only posted recipes of what we've been eating that's healthy, but soon I want to start posting short videos of what we do at the gym or maybe other kinds of things that would fall into the category of trying to be a balanced, functional adult. I'm in no way saying that we're even remotely qualified to be telling anyone what's healthy and what's not. If anything, having this account has only encouraged us to do more juices and different kinds of smoothies since it's fun to take photos and share the stuff that you're proud of. And maybe "proud" is a stupid word for it, but personally it makes me feel good. (I don't know why I think I need to justify this so much, to be honest.)
If you've got any interest in following us at all, you can check it out over here.
Bob's Burgers Valentines
I try not to promote Buzzfeed listicles often (since, well, they're contributing to the decline of this age), but this one I wholeheartedly endorse.
Why the hell don't adults exchange Valentines at their offices? Seems like they're trying to be a little too-cool-for-school, if you ask me.
“Keep frozen, peeled bananas in your freezer (in tupperware). They make ridiculously good additions to late night smoothie recipes.”
Longest Argument
God, I love this.
Bob's Burgers Cookbook

Remember that guy I told you about who makes the burger recipes from Bob's Burgers into real recipes? HE'S GETTING A BOOK OF HIS RECIPES PUBLISHED. Why is this a big deal? 'Cause I feel like it's kind of rare these days to have someone actually good get a book deal when so many untalented nothings seem to dominate the book world. It's irritating and and a whole other topic, really. But this guy? Cole Bowden? Good for him! Such a great idea and even greater that the show's creator, Loren Bouchard, is so on board with it, too - he's even supplying the cookbook's illustrations, which seems cool as hell.
Can't wait for this to come out. It comes out March 22nd!
