Lists, Loves & Links

Happy Friday! How can it simultaneously feel like this has been the world’s longest week, yet I’ve somehow accomplished so little? All signs, yet again, point to me overcommitting myself. But that’s no one’s problem but my own. Switching topics; here are some of my favorite things around the inter nets this week:

Everyone’s seen it by now, but the Full House men reunite for a commercial. And that’ll be a YES, PLEASE to John Stamos in boxers.
From Jezebel: how often do you need to shower? Up my alley because #never.
I’m a Shoshanna, so I’m naturally obsessed with this.
Some healthyish super bowl snacks that I’ll never have enough patience to make.
My reliance on the snooze button has reached an unhealthy level. Some good advice on how to kick the habit.
Numbers 21, 25, 45 AND NUMBER FREAKING 12. I like TV. I’ve said that on here before? Okay then.

How is 2014 treating you so far?! Today is my third (fourth?) day feeling like total crap PLUS I woke up this morning without being able to turn my neck to the left. Two seasons of Girls and an order of banana pancakes later, I’m still missing the full range of motion my neck once provided, but I guess I’m not dead yet (thanks, Advil!). Anyways, here’s what my half-mobile self was able to summon on the inter-webs for this week’s installment of Lists, Loves and Links!

Here’s a fun insider’s take on the life of being a Hollywood extra.
New Netflix movies for those of you that are still on “winter break” or are sickly withering away in bed, like myself.
The best and worst words of 2013. Awesome.
This isn’t a killer article, but the fact that Mindy Lahiri is on Tinder kills me.
And, because I will always and forever be a retail rat, here’s some interesting info on how the Nordstrom Rack business is owning Nordstrom full-line stores.
13 Women who Rocked it in 2013. Inspiring women for the win!

Links, links, links!

Are selfies art? Apparently, they will be one day.
Then and now, cast reunions from select TV series’. Did you favorite show make the list?
While I can’t relate to everything on this list, acting ladylike is a definite stretch for me some days.
Speaking of ladies, these are some pretty upsetting screenshots showing how prevalent sexism is in our culture, worldwide.
And lastly, because pop culture is fun, here are some low-key celeb couples you may not know are dating. I obviously knew about Nick Kroll + Amy because we’re besties, but just incase you didn’t… ;)

Lists, Loves & Links: LATE Edition Because I’m the Worst

October 16, 2013 MandyLeave a comment

I’ve been super busy with work things and life things, so I apologize for today’s very late in the day post. But alas, here are some links that have been keeping me from drowning into a deep, dark hole of a person this week:

I’m sure you’ve heard, but in this week’s Tina & Amy news: TWO MORE YEARS! TWO MORE YEARS. Gah. Tina & Amy: all day, everyday. Forever and ever, Amen.
Beer popularity in America. I find it hard to believe that New York isn’t one of the top drinking states.
For my fellow Parks & Rec fans, here’s the best Ron Swansonisms of the show.
Anthony Hopkins on ~~Jesus~~ Bryan Cranston & Breaking Bad’s stellar cast. My friend and I still regularly text as Jesse and Walt. It’s kind of ~~pathetic~~ amazing.

A few other fun facts in a listy format:

My building’s boiler has been out of commission for THREE DAYS. No hot water = no showering. So there’s that.
I think I may be in a serious relationship with carbs. It started as a joke, but I actually cant stop eating/drinking/thinking about them.
I have a business cell phone now — which, I know — #important. I’ve had the thing three days and have already managed to text a selfie to a number I thought was my personal line. Obviously, I don’t know my own phone number. Again for emphasis — #important

Basically, I’m the worst.

Your weekly list of links of lists:

If you’ve ever worked retail, you know.
An Instagram making fun of Instagram. AKA instagenius.
A cool list of traits that closet introverts will relate to.
Why you should ~~worship~~ watch Orange is the New Black. AKA I binge-watched the entire series in three days and so should you.
Another piece on millennials making fun of pieces on millennials. I have a love/date relationship with the internet. But who doesn’t?

Smile, it’s Wednesday. :)
