I love sharks
This week was full of pre-holiday cheer and my obsession with shipwrecks in shark infested water (as embodied by the show “I Shouldn’t Be Alive”)
Seriously. That show is AWESOME.
Anyways….
Here’s what’s making me happy:
Meryl Streep is the cover girl for the January 2012 edition of Vogue! She’s 62-years old and weighs more than 87 pounds… it’s a miracle! That was sarcasm. She is, in fact, the oldest woman to grace Vogue’s icy cover. I think Cher, Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Diane Keaton and Roseanne Barr should all have Vogue covers as well. Let’s start a petition!
Have you been watching Diablo Cody’s “Red Band Trailer” episodes? They stream for free online. She interviews adorable celebs like John Krasinski and Zooey Deschanel.
I saw “The Descendants” and it was AMAZING. Go. See. It. NOW. In case this fantastic movie isn’t on your radar, here’s a post on it (and a couple other movies you should see over the holidays.) “The Descendants” breaks away from movie stereotypes and is both heartbreaking and hilarious. Plus, the feisty daughter characters are exactly what my imaginary offspring would be like, adorably vulgar. AND I like how Alexander Payne worked Hawaiian culture and music into the film. I haven’t read the book, but I assume that’s a huge part of the story.
I’ve been listening to Florence and the Machine (like everybody else) but this song has been on repeat:
The holidays haven’t officially started until my annual viewing of the “Schweddy Balls” sketch from Saturday Night Live.
I'd post a video but NBC are a bunch of bastards and have blocked EVERY youtube or other video.
“Schweddy Balls” is to me what “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is to normal people: the epitome of holiday awesomeness. Fun fact: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is one of my favourite things on the planet and they recently released a flavour called Schweddy Balls!
nom nom NOM!
Have a great weekend!
