sunday sucker!

i added 'the holiday' to my netflix queue because i thought i'd watch it with a snarky little attitude and then would heckle it a bit. but then this happened: a british boy put glasses on (i put my glasses on too)!

then this happened: little girls with british accents adored him (and i adored him too)!

and then he had to go and do this: cry (then i cried). i'm so ashamed.

TRUE CONFESSION TIME: i watched it twice!! in case you're worried i also watched 'the science of sleep' and fell in love with it too.

i was nice to mice

we got an email at work that went something like this: 'we need writers for an our favorite movie rodents feature.' it's true. so i picked a disney classic (as usual). i wasn't as nice as the title of this blog post suggests.

harry potter can suck it!

i wrote that (rephrased, of course) in this feature that just published on ew.com. my blurb is at the very end. once again, the comments that follow the feature are killing me! people are saying we have no talent and should be fired for not knowing all things pop culture! this one is my personal favorite:

My greatest pop culture shame is having read anything produced by EW.

those comments only make me stronger! well honestly, they just make me laugh really hard.

i hope we don't get fired (please don't fire us).

thursday night at work annie and i got a little punchy and started trying to come up with a caption for the above pic from the new pirates of the caribbean. we started mock publishing this version to see how funny it would look on the website and for a bit it got stuck and we were worried someone, who didn't share our sense of humor, might discover it. luckily nothing bad happened...so far.

while we were coming up with fake captions (my other favorite was, if you look at the woman in the background doesn't it look like she's asking, 'what you talkin' 'bout pirates??'), i started complaining about how pirates were getting on my nerves and thus came this pirate story for the site. i love the comments where people keep telling me i'm wrong about brandon flowers of the killers wanting to be a pirate. he's really a cowboy!! i didn't know that tidbit was so important. it's just a little lighthearted joke of a story, people.
