Ihatebabies.com is my new favorite website
So LONG STORY SHORT, I was just iming with Gabe about this one viral baby video that’s that’s annoying me this week by being on every website (I’m a truly fascinating IM conversationalist and coworker) and I was like “I bet it’s even been on ihatebabies.com, if that exists.”
So of course, I went to see if it exists. And it does! And it’s new! And...
Thank you, DVR, for so wisely choosing not to...

I Have Begun Making Friendship Bracelets
Over Christmas, I bought a friendship bracelet making kit meant for children and $20 worth of embroidery floss so that I can have something to do at my friends’ knitting parties other than knitting, which is too hard, and also a cliche. This was the conversation I had with my Mom about it:
Me: “I think friendship bracelets should come back. Like, for adults.”
Mom, tilting her...
Yay
Paige Ferrari is guest-blogging on Jezebel this week. This should be good.

Why I Should Be MSNBC's New 10pm Star
MSNBC is looking for a new show for the 10’o clock hour. OMG!
I have never (well, since adolescence, duh) wanted to be on television. I don’t even do those talking head VH1 shows that they ask every blogger to do and that many people I admire have done brilliantly (or, like, you know, for what it was.) I just kind of hate my stupid face, to be honest, but in a really healthy way. But...
The Most Exciting Thing In My Life Is Over
Last night I watched Will bash AJ in the face with a cookie sheet.
That’s Cajun Boy’s distinctive laugh in the background, btw.
The Only Reason I Want To Be Friends With A...
Is so whenever a blind item comes out I can text them the link and say “This is totally you dude!!!!”
That joke would never get old (for me.) Too bad it would require so much work.

I’m very much enjoying Jessica Pressler’s coverage of epic fail death-faker Marcus Schrenker. The latest: he left all of his plans in the plane. (If he wasn’t already arrested, this would be a perfect case for Encyclopedia Brown.)

No, that is not sad. Look at the terms! Trying to figure out which guy will be more brutal with the cookie sheet, and the mental acrobatics are like Wallace Shawn’s Iocaine powder monologue from The Princess Bride. Only this could make me watch football.

George W. Bush's Look At Me Won't You Miss Me...
This is what that was:
George W. Bush is our ex -boy or -girl friend with whom we broke up sort of mutually, we guess, but mostly us, like really mostly, and last night he drunk dialed us 24 times and woke us and our new boy or girfriend up, and today, sober, he called us in this totally transparent, fake-casual way, to almost sort-of apologize but not, and remind us of the good times and to use...

Haha, aww, jk, kisses. Dball has been part of my life for I guess as long as it’s existed. I’ve probably checked in fewer than ten times, but I’ll miss always knowing where John Carney is in the universe, which was dball’s main function for probably most of its NYC users. If two days went by without a check-in, we would worry.
Dball drove me nuts sometimes, like the time I...
Spike.com Is Gross
Happening across this piece of shit, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the three years my department at Comedy Central shared a floor with Spike. There was a unisex/handicapped bathroom on their side of the floor that always had that day’s New York Post, open to the sports section, spread out on the floor immediately in front of the toilet. For years. That was, and apparently is, who...
Rolle Is Heading to Oxford, Not the N.F.L. - NYT →
doree:
Pretty cool. Myron Rolle, a Florida State football player who’s projected to be one of the top 49 picks in the NFL draft, will be a Rhodes scholar next year instead of going straight to the NFL. Oh, and in case he didn’t sound awesome enough, he wants to go to med school and open a clinic for the needy in the Bahamas when his NFL career ends.
Sorry if I’m misty but that’s the...
Well, This Is Going To Be An Obsession
We must find Marcus Schrenker:
“A man whose financial management business is under investigation faked a life-or-death emergency in his private aircraft before secretly parachuting out and letting his plane crash in the Florida panhandle, authorities said Monday.
.
The pilot, identified as Marcus Schrenker, 38, later checked into a hotel in Alabama under a fake name and then put on a...
With Lack Of Sleep, Proper Nouns Are The First To...
I woke up in the wee hours this morning and was unable to fall back asleep. For this reason, all day today I’ve been iming friends things like: “What’s the main chick on 30 Rock’s name? My idol? For real.”

Part Of Me Just Died
My actual first thoughts upon reading that Jason Segel is dating Evan Rachel Wood:
“Nooo. I can’t be two degrees away from Marilyn Manson!”
The reason I actually thought that is because I actually, in my heart, believed that there was a chance that me and Jason Segel would be together. Until today.
