TGIW. From my local bodega guy verifying I was over the age of 18 to buy alcohol (what?) to being a reluctant third wheel on a first date 15 feet away from my bed, I’m seriously ready for a “weekend.” Even if my weekend does fall on Thursday/Friday. Regardless, here are some fun articles (mostly about the GGs… sorry I’m not) that have kept me entertained this week!

11 Best Quotes from the Amy + Tina’s GG’s monologue according to Hello Giggles.
22 Best Celeb Instagrams from the GG’s evening.
The ranking of Amy + Tina’s jokes from the entire night.
NOT GG RELATED! Meet the Women Giving Cards Against Humanity a Makeover.
And lastly/the most directly related to my life: The 8 Things to Remember when Everything Goes Wrong.

The end. Enjoy the rest of your work-week, humans!

Best of the Golden Globes

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Me? I’m still riding the Golden Globes high from last night, naturally.

Is it weird that I feel like [for the most part] everyone that should have won, won? I was especially elated at both Amy and Cate’s win, 12 Years a Slave‘s last-moment award and, of course, all things Breaking Bad. And joke-wise, from Matt Damon’s garbage man, the soon-to-be-infamous George Clooney joke to the Randy appearance, Tina + Amy slaughtered, per usual. I wouldn’t hesitate to call the night a wild success for ~~my two favorite people on this earth~~ them. If you didn’t watch already, do yourself a favor and enjoy a few laughs to begin your week:

Just for Lorne Michaels’ disinterested clap:

For Emma Thompson’s presenting skillz:

Because Amy makes out with Bono:

Overall, another A+, ladies. Can’t wait for 2015!

It’s Wednesday! Which is actually the Friday of my workweek and I’m very much looking forward to utilizing my “weekend” now that I’m finally starting to feel like a mostly formed human again *knocks on wood*. Anyways, today’s list of mid-week links I love all share one popular theme. Any guesses?

These thirteen TV shows that were originally titled something else.
Mindy Kaling’s reaction to all of the uproar on her Elle photo shoot is soooo Mindy Kaling (perfect).
As the most predictable move ever, Sasheer Zamata gets cast on SNL. Do yourself a favor; only read the comment section if you want to drown yourself later. And then don’t do that either.
What Carrie Bradshaw is to fashionistas, Carrie Brownstein is to…a lot of different things.
Annnnnd last but not least, OF COURSE Tina and a feisty Amy address the usual interviewer BS and answer some pre-Golden Globes questions. Love.

WHO ELSE IS PUMPED FOR SUNDAY AT 8PM ON NBC? I CANNOT SUPPRESS MY ELATION.
