From the Couch

This is how I amuse myself when the day gets quiet. Be forewarned: that often includes whimsy, hedgehogs and other animals, cookery, children's books, pining after frivolous objects, pop culture and puns.

Catch of the Day: Ball boy shows up both Federer and Nadal with an amazing catch during their Australian Open semifinal match.

[guyism.]

And Neens keeps making fun of the ball boys! I think he just can’t get in to their outfits.

This a joke I’ve heard/seen several times and yet every time I think it’s funny.

Congrats?

Fuck them is what I say. I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future. They may well be. I will be dead. I won’t give a shit.

Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.

“The Velveteen Rabbit” by Margery Williams (via julie911)

I can’t reread The Velveteen Rabbit because it made it on my list of Things that Made Me Cry Once that I Can Never Revisit (along with Of Mice and Men and Bambi, among others), but hearing this quote again while watching Beginners warmed my heart. And made me cry. Again.

Oscar Nominees - Music (Original Song) 
“Man or Muppet” from “The Muppets” Music and Lyric by Bret McKenzie
Please tell me this means we get a song performed by a combination of Jason Segel, Jim Parsons, Bret McKenzie and/or a Muppet!

If there’s anything right with the world this will happen. 

I’m there.

The Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips are, quite simply, the bomb. I was able to apply them while my kid was spazzing out on my lap, that’s how easy they are.

I have these on my nails right now! They are a freaking hit with everybody, let me tell you. Also, just bought a bunch more on sale at Walgreens online. Can’t wait to put some tweed on mah digits.

End nail excitement, back to normal life.
