Remember this scene from the HIT 1995 film Waiting to Exhale?

Well, this week has felt like the flame engulfed car and I feel like Angela Bassett. 

“I’d forgotten how painful it can be to write in longhand for long stretches of time. I know it’s not as bad as digging trenches in the Amazon, but still—it’s AGONY. Your neck gets sore from staring down. You get that weird dent in your middle finger and thumb from pressing the pencil too hard. Everything around you starts to smell like old pencil shavings.”

I might be biased because my name happens to start with an “R” but this dude does pretty work/has an eye for interesting fonts and images. 

On the weekends my boyfriend likes to wake up early, take my spooning arm while I am still asleep and use my finger to create iPad finger paint portraits. This is our latest “collaboration.”

The imagery that this tweet exudes rivals the inner chapters of The Grapes of Wrath.

Is it spring yet? 

If you need me on Tuesday… I will be here.

I am currently procrastinating. I was initially looking up “llama on a skateboard,” when my google image search for “black and white photos of dinosaurs” proved to be unfruitful.

I was stopping dead in my tracks by just typing in “llama”. Nice job internet. 

Sabol said the most impressive dunk he ever saw came at the end of Super Bowl XXXVII, when a group of Tampa Bay Buccaneers players carried a bucket as they ran behind Coach Jon Gruden, who was excitedly sprinting down the sideline.

Sabol said the NFL Films cameramen were running alongside the group, too, giving the entire sequence a certain “National Geographic as an antelope is being stalked quality.” Finally the players dropped the liquid on Gruden as he leaped in the air, providing what Sabol said he believed to be one of the few — if not only — “flying dumps” ever recorded.

This is uncanny. I have far too much in common with Cher. However, we do not see eye to eye on false eyelashes. Everything else is pretty dead balls on.

Downton Abbey is possibly the sassiest show that has ever aired on Television.

It might look like granny panties on the outside but it’s definitely commando on the inside. But I guess, when you really think about it, everything is commando on the inside of underpants? Regardless, it’s a sensational show.

“A mere handful of seafloor mud may contain as many species as are found in a square meter of tropical rainforest.” Reminiscent of the One Cubic Foot project.

This is my new desktop wallpaper. I could stare at it for hours.

Some thoughts on the original The Taking of the Pelham One Two Three:

• -Philip Seymour Hoffman is the Walter Matthau of our time. Both of these men have never been considered traditionally handsome, but I think we can all agree that they are timelessly awesome.
• -Robert “Third Rail” Shaw!
• -I love that a million dollars was a HUGE deal in 1974.
