#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.

Wanna hear a random thing? I saw an ad just now for GOB's new "stellar" cd, and all I could think of was Arrested Development. You know, in the pilot, when G.o.b. does the illusion and the reporter rats him out and calls him "Gob"? Yup.

I need you to blog for my sanity. Consider it your new cause.
