I'm vestigial, baby
So, super fun Wall St. Journal article that lots of people are reblogging. Fascinating and science-y! Although I was mildly disappointed when I got to the bit about the teeth (wisdom teeth are fading out) and ears (they used to turn toward sound, which is why some people can still wiggle them): I realized that instead of having a bunch of cool/gross stupid human tricks (I can wiggle my ears quite...

Easy Lover & Blinking GIFs
You know what I love about going back and watching old music videos? The fact that a large proportion of MVs from the mid 80s were all about the fact that they were making music videos and have NO narrative arc whatsoever. Like, the lyrics do not factor in AT ALL.
For example, the Easy Lover video. Nowhere do they once mention any sort of lover, or the hold she has on you (believe it!). The whole...

Oh God Oh God it’s all too much I’m getting such a boner! I absolutely love when the Russians lose at sports and just blow out and rage.
I love this SUPER bitchy dig at his fellow ice sportsmen/women:
“I am not prepared to skate well and lose,” Plushenko complained, RIA-Novosti reported. “This is men’s figure skating - not ice dancing,” Plushenko...

I want this, but I don't want this. →
I kind of want this but also think that it will turn me into a slave to a bunch of potentially meaningless statistics/omg- I- need- to- play- 5- more- hours- of-wii- fit- or- run- around- the- house- in- circles- monster. I think the people who buy this are probably not the people who need it? Right? Like people who can calculate a food’s caloric value just by smelling it and the rail-thin...

Child Stars Of The Early 90s
katiebakes:
I tried in vain to find a video of the scene where the little girl who played Matilda (wait, what the hell happened to that girl?
Her name is Mara Wilson. I know this because I wanted to BE HER when I was younger. Hanging out with Robin Williams on movie sets was like my ultimate 8 year old dream. I know.
Remember she was also in Miracle on 34th Street as the daughter of that...
Advice From The Formerly Bedbugged →
I’m telling you something, Molly. That fogger alone is going to do diddly squat. I had a nasty, nasty case of bedbugs in 2003, before most pest control places knew how to get rid of them. They fogged the place 3 times, and the bugs were still alive and kicking. My roommate finally found a dude up in the Bronx who gave us the proper weapons: Drione Dust and the spray that kills lice. If you...
