A friend of my dad’s set up a game camera near his deer stand and caught this great series in April. He says his camera case now has bite marks.

A YouTube production remaking Pride and Prejudice as a vlog. I sort of love it already (until it sucks, then I’ll hate it.)

lizziebennetdiaries:

Just introducing myself as part of a class project. We’re in grad school together. Charlotte’s the mastermind behind the camera, she wanted me to talk about my life, which, yeah, sounds tremendously exciting right? But we’ll do our best to be at least moderately entertaining. Also, in the future, I will try to get Charlotte out from behind her pipe.

So in this first episode, you meet me, my friend Charlotte Lu, and my sister Lydia (accidentally). And I introduce you to a parody of my mom as well, who, hopefully, you will never meet.

I love when John Green talk politics, and the inefficiency of our current state of state is a great topic.

I got pissed off that Canada is moving ahead of us in the vital field of Not Having Idiotic Pennies, which made me think about all the other economically irrational and inefficient things that result from the childish and divisive political discourse we have in the United States at the moment.

So I made this video.

Anonymous asked: What traits, or qualities do you look for in dating a kindly gentleman?

mimmblemimmble’s list for dating a kindly gentleman includes:

10) Cannot be bothered by my recurring habit of needing to “fall off the face of the earth” frequently. 

When you find the person you’re ready to spend the rest of your life with and you decide to “fall off the face of the earth”, you’ll know you made the right choice because they’re the only person you want to be with you while you’re falling. If you find yourself falling and you’re ok that a kindly gentleman is part of the earth you’re leaving behind, then you should probably no longer date that particular gentleman no matter how kindly they treat you.

If Arizona passes a law that would enable the death of a mother because of a doctor’s omission of information, they should pass a parallel law allowing fathers to legally terminate a doctor who causes a woman’s death.

“There are 14 Planned Parenthood clinics in Texas that offer abortion and 51 that provide other sexual-health services. To avoid any commingling of funds, they are run as entirely separate corporations. Because the abortion clinics receive no public money, they’ve been unaffected by the state’s funding cutbacks.”

The U.S. is better off without Perry as PotUS, but he’s still sticking it to Texas. He runs a Republican field of morons.

The Kleptones drop the perfect V-Day song.

I’m probably the last person on the planet to advocate Valentine’s Day, but when you’re in the midst of demoing new things and a pairing like this comes along on 14th Feb (about three hours ago to be precise)… well, you’ve got to do it, haven’t you?

Yes, it’s very silly.

No, the album won’t sound anything like this.

I hope.

Thanks to everyone who is following. Much goodness coming your way this year.

Happy chocolates and flowers day!

Hamell on Trial is one of my role models for geriatric parenting. Look how smoothly he works his son, Detroit, into his Kickstarter pitch.
