Has anyone else seen the infomercial for Bump-Its from BigHappieHair? Please tell me that I didn’t just make that up in my head.
Oot & Aboot
Hipster Hullabaloo featured 8 wondrous episodes of Degrassi, which Stephanie and Christina watch far more often than I ever could. It reminded me of one of my great (secret) loves: Canadian television shows. More specifically, MVP (Hockey!) and Life With Derek (Funny Teenagers!) As someone once pointed out, I live my entire life in parenthetical notation, but there is not enough room in the world...

Tonight is Hipster Hullabaloo. Well, tonight is Hullabaloo, and this year’s theme is Hipster. More details to come once all the traditional Bartles & Jaymes has been (ironically) consumed.
Yes, I have already repurposed tights as pants in this situation.
The Bath-Grinch Who Stole Christmas
Me: Liv, do you think you should take a bath? It's Christmas Eve...
Olivia: Nope.
Me: But you want to look nice for Christmas Eve...
Olivia: Nope.
Me: But won't you want to smell good when Santa gets there?
Olivia, exasperated: He doesn't sniff the bed. That's not how Christmas Eve works.

I came up with new words today. This may or may not be why people pay me to be a writer. Here goes nothing:
Fauxtogenic (adj., foh to jen ik) 1. Being ugly in real life, but looking good, for some reason, in pictures, especially ones taken at the same angle every single time. 2. Having had so much work done that you are photogenic even in a paper bag.

Sweet lord, I feel ready to beat racism, end apartheid, take back my country from the false king, and possibly learn to play hockey.
Slow dumb show
Not only was this episode extremely awesome to everything my tiny, ineffective little heart has ever wanted - I’m even okay with Chuck’s little pillowtop missive at the end, it’s only fitting, really - but to compound its awesomeness (the only word I can seem to use in describing it) they plugged “Slow Dumb Show” in during the achingly awesome Blair and Chuck scene at...

OHEMGEE This episode makes up for everything last week wasn’t. My brain is esploding with everything.

There is nothing I want to do less in the world than be grading these papers right now. It’s been an hour and I have gotten through one. ONE. And it wasn’t even good. But it was better than the lecture today. Seriously, I wasn’t talking about boring stuff. How Justin Dougherty slept through it is beyond me.
Because it was kind of sketchy.
Grading in my office. Making lists. Doodling more.

This marks my first disagreement. Please, God, let this be the only one.

In something something science today, I did nothing but doodle. Sometimes when I doodle I am funny, sometimes I am angry, sometimes I am in love.
Sometimes I write,

in my lab notebook.

CH Sports Weekly is secretly my favorite thing on...
Ethan: No rematch, but Alabama's incredibly good. They were so much better than Auburn that the Iron Bowl started to get boring in the second quarter. Plus, "John Parker Wilson" is a name that means you're destined to be the successful QB at Bama. It's like the exact opposite of "Freddie Kitchens." Why is no one giving Bama a chance against Florida?
Amir: Two words: No Idea. Wait, I mean, Tim Tebow. Alabama's strength of schedule is also 94th. Face it, they're the Ball State of the SEC and you know it.
Ethan: It's not Bama's fault. They tried to play a hard schedule; they had no way of knowing that road games at Clemson, Arkansas, Georgia, and LSU wouldn't be so impressive at the end of the year. Do you think that somewhere in the country there's a person, be it a fan, coach, or player, who thinks the BCS is a great idea and fully supports it?
