A whole bucketful of awesome. |
This page is, in fact, an overflowing bucketful of awesome, but I didn't want to brag too much. |
Kickass Kid of the Day: First-grader Riley Chandler loves dinosaurs and wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. But waiting to grow up is boring, so Riley passes the time by hosting a homemade paleontology show that’s as informative as it is adorable (i.e., very).

Nina Explains: The Situation in Egypt
OMG. She’s just. I can’t even. The way she says “I don’t know” at the end. Ack. I’m dead.

Levi’s latest fit for men: The Ex-Girlfriend Jean — OK, now these hipsters are just fucking with us.
I seriously thought to myself, “Is it April first?” when someone sent me this link.
I mean… FOR REALS?
FOR REALS?
Here’s my thing: If you are, in fact, my ex: I WANT MY JEANS BACK, YOU LADIES-CLOTHES-STEALING FREAK. Thievery is part of why I DUMPED YOU.
This is a scary house.

New favorite word.
I almost never play this game, but my mind is super preoccupied today. As I’ve mentioned before, my daughter is going to be on a reality TV show. And because much of it was filmed at our house, so will I.
I am so super scared I’m going to come off like a big giant douche.
It’s reality TV. How can I not look like a douche?
I am not a reality TV person, per se. My sense of empathy is massive, and I relate to the characters waaaay too much. I overly excel at the whole putting-myself-in-another’s-shoes thing. And I utterly fear actually being that total idiot that makes me cringe.
So there’s that.

For absurdity, how about those four Navy F-18s flying over the stadium - with its retractable roof closed? Everybody inside could only see the planes on the stadium’s video screens. It was strictly a two-second beauty shot. Know what it cost taxpayers? I’ll tell you: $450,000. (The Navy justifies the expense by saying it’s good for recruiting.)
Emphasis mine. It is disgusting and morally repugnant that the government will spend $450,000 on a stupid flyover that the people in the stadium can’t even see, while schools and libraries are having their budgets slashed all across America.
America is Rome. Congratulations.
Not that I want to play Devil’s advocate, because I don’t— because I agree it is a ridiculous waste— BUT…
One-hundred-eleven MILLION people watched the Super Bowl on TV. The flyover wasn’t for the people in the stadium.
