The Sound of Young America: Ask the Optimist

#37 - LIST FRIDAY, Best Things Ever Edition

I took a break last week and I am in the midst of writing an enormous paper right now, so this one will be short, but awesomeness filled.

Things That Are Putting Me In A Really Good Mood Right Now (with LINKS!)

• Mindy Kaling's blog about things she buys. It satisfies all most most shallow urges, but is still hilarious in a way only a very good comedy writer could make it. Also, sometimes other comedy writers contribute and comment and it's awesome. Also, it is where I heard about my second thing...
  
• The song West Coast by Coconut Records (who is actually Jason Schwartzman!!!!)
• Dumbledore is gay you guys!! Why am I so thrilled about this? It is because I suspected all along. Also, JKR got a standing ovation when she said it, which actually makes me tear up a little. ALSO, the religious right is gonna be pissed as hell.
• "Killing Your Self To Live" by Chuck Klosterman. The most shocking parts of the book are when people refer to him just as "Chuck". It is one of those weird names where the first sounds so weird without the last. Also, the book has some excellent observations about the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark, which has a special place in my heart for reasons that are unclear.
  

#36 - LIST FRIDAY, Thanksgiving Edition

Sorry I'm late! I've been busy visiting with family and frantically cleaning my house. Speaking of, my room is looking rather spiffy, if I do say so myself. And I do. Why do I not just keep it clean all the time? Because, it would be like having Christmas every week or cake for breakfast every morning. The novelty would wear off.

Anyway, I have no time to put into thinking of a list, because family dinner is at my house tonight, so here are some easy ones:
