Oh, Grey's. Sometimes, you still nail it.

Hunt: It's a cute baby, right?
Yang: Its small features and oversized eyes trigger a hormonal response from humans; it's autonomic. It's what keeps us from eating them.

I wish I could pluck cynicism off my shoulders like a cloak and hang it up in a closet... or stick it in a furnace.

Liz Lemon: You know what, this whole thing is unfair. You're juggling two beautiful women while I have to pay to have kickballs whipped at me. This is gender inequity out the yang.
Jack Donaghy: This has nothing to do with the slight difference in our genders.
Liz Lemon: Yes, it does. The older you get, the more distinguished you are. Meanwhile, I'm reading a book called "Hide Your Arms, Hide Your Anger: Dating Over 35."
Jack Donaghy: Lemon, I am successful romantically because I am confident, open and positive. You are negative, pessimistic and in danger of becoming permanently sour.

Sleep - Meiko

Sometimes I listen to songs that make me want to OD on pain pills or muscle relaxants… and then I’m over it.

This is photo 27 out of 78. The caption that goes with it:

May 8, 2009 “A temporary White House staffer, Carlton Philadelphia, brought his family to the Oval Office for a farewell photo with President Obama. Carlton’s son softly told the President he had just gotten a haircut like President Obama and asked if he could feel the President’s head to see if it felt the same as his.”

That already maxed out my cuteness quota for 2010. (Click on the photo to go to the site where you can see other photos from Obama’s first year in office.)

Walk Like a Man

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:37:00 -0800

This one is for the boys:

If you want a quick fix for how girls (and I guess other dudes, too) perceive you, you may simply have to pay attention to your gait. There’s nothing more subtle but it really makes all the difference in the world. Just learn how to walk like you’re not completely awkward.

There have been too many times that I wondered what it is about a guy that makes him a total non-prospect, only to figure out that it’s his manner of walking… mostly that it can’t be described as walking, but - ugh - shuffling. It is entirely possible that I am being nitpicky here, but keep an open mind.

Seeing an otherwise respectable grown man in his 20s or 30s dragging his feet, shuffling around, taking micro-steps, looking chronically aimless or with an uncharacteristically dainty walk (et cetera, et cetera) is pretty unfortunate. Can you imagine if off the court, Kobe baby-steps his way into a night club or press conference, arms limp at his sides and head hung low? Barf. I don’t care how great you look, if you walk around like you could be the least noticeable person in a room, you probably will be.

I mean, there is a lot to be said for swagger. The word might connote a certain arrogance, but who cares? If you’re going for the cool loner thing, maybe swagger isn’t the way to go, but James Dean-ing it most definitely does not include the shuffle. Know how to move your arms when you walk. Walk with purpose. Walk like you’re on a runway. (Okay, maybe that’s just a girl thing.) Strut if you must. Just don’t walk like a child dragging his GD blankie around. I’m telling you because this can only help you. PLEASE stop with the shuffle. Just… stop it.

Wow, girls are ridiculous. Full disclosure: I would probably...

Wow, girls are ridiculous. Full disclosure: I would probably have been thinking all of the things she emailed, but I would be way too humiliated to put it in print and would have just tried to out-ignore him. Passive-aggression FTW!

OMG, I die!!! This kid is LEGIT. Perhaps a new child dance prodigy a la Wade Robson? He’s so good, it’s almost creepy. (Thanks, Mimi!)

A WAND REMOTE CONTROL?! Yes, please!!!! Program swishes and flicks to change channels and volumes. This would be a whole other reason to fight over the remote.

I am geeking out over here!!
