What a week. As I read from another poster, you know it’s a crazy week when an Elvis impersonator tries to poison the President, and it barely makes the news. I don’t know about you, but I was trying to keep focused on some good and some light, despite all the darkness that was descending all around. Here are some of the things that kept me distracted.
If you’re anything like me, you are on pins and needles over this Arrested Development season coming up. Refinery 29 shares some posters that make it feel even more official.
In other comedy television news, footage of the original 30 Rock pilot was released this year. I finally took a peek at it. It was a different show, for sure. I know a lot of folks were up in arms over the Rachel Dratch replacement, but I think her version of Jenna was a little too similar to Liz Lemon.
What about you?
Jessica Fletcher, fashion icon?
You might realize that television is a good friend of mine. Fashion is probably my best friend. So, anything that combines the two is sure to get my attention. I am sort of in love with this blog dissecting the fashion of Jessica Fletcher. I might try some Murder, She Wrote fashion soon!
Somehow, I didn’t realize that Avril Lavigne was engaged to Nickelback guy. While their coupling isn’t so interesting, I am not-so-secretly hoping they do a musical collaboration. I have a suspicion it will be terrible on an epic scale.
In other tragic pop culture news, someone who really loves Radiohead got an amazing Thom Yorke tattoo. (Hey, I said it was amazing, I didn’t say it was good.)
As someone who is constantly comparing herself to anyone and everyone, I found Veronica Varlow’s tips on turning jealousy into inspiration highly useful.
These photographs of abandoned places around the world, are both haunting and beautiful. I am adding to my travel list, as we speak.
Oh Jon Hamm, making me want to watch Sesame Street again. Yeah, there are some other interesting things on that link, but I have a hard time making it past Jon Hamm.
If Jon Hamm wasn’t enough beautiful for you, here’s Tilda Swinton in a rare public appearance with her lover. I suspect the theory that she is an alien may be right. I can’t think of another possible reason someone could be so magical.
Finally, on to adorable animals. SweetFurr is making me want to take in all the smush-faced kitties. Our smush faces came to us as adults, so they are not nearly as tolerant.
Over at Buzzfeed, they’ve experienced a takeover. Colonel Meow is master now. He seems totally fair and reasonable. And fuzzy.
I will leave you with this piece on a couple of squirrel crazy folks. Now, I love squirrels. A lot. However, this couple takes it to a new and amazing level. There are no words.
Have a fabulous week, friends!!
