Aye, Mammal: Pornder over this →
sincerelyhugostuffet:
Let’s begin this article with a girl. Call her Kelly. Or Nicole. Actually, you could call her anything depending on which corner of the world’s women you find most appealing. Now picture the young blonde, generously endowed Kelly, who is set to attend a job interview clad in a tight bust…

Why Emma? Why is she the only one who gets a book named after her?

I heard the announcement:

I love Flavorwire →
It’s a sort of one-stop shop for all pop-culture junkies. I have found scrawesome* pictures of old stuffed toys and zombie short stories by Atwood and fantastic reviews of Girls there (that’s a show, please note). There’s art and television and movies and books, even music, if you happen to swing that way.
But you know what I’d really like? I’d like an Indian...

I know what was on TV today
It so happens, and this might have something to do with warm beds and cold floors, that in my old age I’ve become quite fascinated by the television. Oh, it’s always been around, and for a while in the nineties, it was my best friend. We fell apart towards the end of the decade though. No special issues, just a sort of drifting away. I turned to real life dramas and it found comfort in my...

I'm back from my silence
With not much to say. It’s been almost an year, so this lack of material seems strange. But of course there is stuff. Stuff that’s happened and stuff that hasn’t happened. Both equally important.
But you see, it’s like meeting an old friend after years. You want to wrap up your life in a neat little parcel and present it to them. Instead, you wrap it in two little words.
‘Not much’.

What a Genius.
I try and not shove things down people’s throats, but YOU MUST READ THIS, All of you.
Go on, click it.
(There’s probably something disturbing about the fact that this is what I choose to shove down people’s throats, no puns intended of course.)
It’s a different sort of pun, read before you perv.

Being ill
Has it’s advantages.
If you are ill, lying in bed and gorging on these is very acceptable.
A big shout-out to Ms Clark, Ms DeForest and Ms Walker. I’m still a little confused about ‘He’ll render you very dead’, (Said by Mr. Cowboy to Ms. Heiress, ofcourse), but other than that, these cardboard cutouts of gorgeous turkey farmers and bounty hunters are pretty great. I’m running out of them...

I'm not an autograph-taker.
I don’t usually want celebrity signatures on books and napkins and notebooks and bras. I’ve never stood in line to get a glimpse and some ink. So far. But even I, have a list.
Satyajit Ray- But Of course.
Bill Watterson, because he is a genius.
Sir A.C. Doyle, because I love his moustache.
Pieter Brueghel The Elder, because he’s made thatONE painting that’s probably...

NOW. I feel unhinged.

They just happened to show up together on my profile. Which seemed very apt. I watch the last episode today, and I want them together forever now. I don’t think either Cumberbatch or Freeman will be very happy with that, but who’s asking them?

I obviously cannot forget him.
They call him a children’s poet, but I wholeheartedly disagree.
Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child, Listen to the DON’TS Listen to the SHOULDN’TS The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS Listen to the NEVER HAVES Then listen close to me— Anything can happen, child, ANYTHING can be.

So, The Vampire Diaries
I like this show. I really do. But I don’t like it enough to go all true blood on it.
Because, while it does pull some brilliant episodes once in a while, can it do this?
When it does, it’ll get my nod of -

1. Spread large and long section of free/cheaply gotten bubble wrap on the floor of your room.
2. Take off shoes. Keep socks on in case of extreme cold - as seen in the video, they do not reduce the intensity.
3. Walk around calmly on said bubble-wrapped floor.
4. Pick up the pace and dance a...
