Sprit Fingers!!
“ No matter how upside-down it all may temporarily appear, we will have no fear because we know this secret: Life is crazily in love with us—wildly and innocently in love with us. The universe always gives us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it."

Googlegängers
PH's post today reminded me of this recent NYT article about the phenomenon of 'google twins' and self-similarity.
"...human beings are unconsciously drawn to people and things that remind us of ourselves...It’s what we call implicit egotism,”...“We’ve shown time and time again that people are attracted to people, places and things that resemble their names, without a doubt...Social psychologists have found that people are more attracted to others with similar faces or identical birth dates.... people’s fascination with their Googlegängers might be an adult expression of the common childhood wish to be an identical twin."

Today's Special: Nostalgia
Some of the first memories I have of life are the tv shows "Pinwheel" and "Today's Special" that ran on Nickelodeon in the 1980's, approximately, in the morning.
An observation: my nostalgia cravings increase along with my work load and anxiety. Digging through the internet attic for magical mittens and
orphaned mullato half-animals soothes me. Maybe these past blasts remind me of a simpler time.
Or maybe they remind me I exist, period.
I'm in my twenties, I dunno!!
While I'm figuring stuff out, please enjoy the delightful, pinwheely breeze coming off this precious cupcake waltz .

A Special Thing indeed: Bob & David's new HBO pilot got picked up!
It's taping in May.
I wish I lived in LA.
Sigh.

The eyes are the windows of your face
It's official. I'm nerding out on this video. What else do you call watching it every day?
I think it's one of my favorite SNL skits of all time. Which begs the question, what are my favorite SNL skits of all time?
Off the top of my head...
Land Shark ("Candy Gram...")
Chopping Broccoli (told you I was nerdin' out)
Happy Fun Ball
Star Wars
The Prince Show (w/Steve Martin)
The Synchronized Swimmers
Dick in a Box (the color me badd-ittude kills me)
So there you have it. I'm a Saturday Night Live fan and I've been one for a long time. Ever since the 20th anniversary special aired in the 90's. I went out and rented every "Best of..." tape I could find at "Video Village" and "Erols*" (Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd...)
People love to hate on SNL. Haters say "oh, Saturday Night Live isn't good anymore, blobbity blah." Not cool people like me who stay home on Saturday nights. Really though, just think about it, try being hilarious for thirty solid years, every week, in front of a live studio audience. Try it and see if you don't have a few extended awkward periods. It's pretty impressive they're a) still on the air and b) fresh and hilarious, albeit intermittently, after all these years.

*That for a short time was located in the back of CVS, which looking back, seems so queer. I can't possibly be the only person** who remembers that.

Things that make me go EW: #147
Imagine if fruits could pee. Now picture a warm melon taking a piss in your mouth right after brushing your teeth with a mint-flavored glue stick. Gross, Orbitz. EW.

Chick Lite
Hey Radar,
The Atlantic totally copied your amazing paparazzi expose, like, a year later. Haters.
Sometimes you're like the New Yorker on crystal meth with your deep investigations and searing profiles.
And I heart you.
xoxo,
