100 favorite Doctor Who quotes [34/100]
→ Falling in love? That didn’t even occur to him?

Oh god, there is so much meaning behind this quote and this scene, holy balls…

Speaking of… this is one of THE SADDEST EPISODES EVER.

Rory and Amy’s departure clearly is the saddest, but man, this one… whoa..

If a big part of your enjoyment of a thing on TV or movies is nitpicking it to death, that’s cool.

… but shitting all over the people who enjoyed the same thing without nitpicking it to death is really not cool.

100% agreed. While I love to watch/read about the fandoms of a variety of shows, sometimes they get too harsh towards “outsiders” for my liking.

I’m sorry I don’t know the entire birth story, family and every single plotline of the main character in one of my favorite shows - does that make me any less of a fan? Well I guess maybe, or rather a different kind of fan… but can’t we like it together?

ATTENTION: Shirtless Henry Cavill speaking in his native tongue (a swoon-worthy British accent) and working out to beef up for his role as Superman. Also a lot of comparing superman to National Guard soldiers and too many cuts away from shirtless Henry Cavill.

(a) swoon.

(b) Everyone’s making a big deal that Superman has chest hair (ooo), but in this video Henry doesn’t. Did they give him chest hair?!

ETA: Some industrious googling shows me that they did not, in fact, give him chest hair. Now off to delete my work computer’s history…

Myth Understood by David Olenick is up for scoring on Threadless!

Take a little swim break from all the $10 tees in our Pool Poolooza sale to score a few design submissions!

Be sure to wait 30 minutes before getting back in the pool!

I would totally buy this shirt. (And the “Myth Understood” plays off my favorite word, pithy. Funny lisp sounds!)

Earlier this week I did a shoot with my friends over at Topiarius, an urban landscape design group. It had been about a year since I’d been in their office and I was just blown away with how lush and green everything is! My favorite thing about the space is their repurposed pallet planters. I am very seriously tempted to do this in my house. Here’s their website, Twitter, Facebook and Insta. They’re always doing interesting stuff, so I’d recommend a follow.

I worked with the Topiarius team for my wedding and they were amazing! So sweet and easy to work with. I’m disappointed I never saw their office!

… SLAM DUNK THIS WEEK, Y’ALL!

(Also, this gif won’t move, which is the most annoying thing ever, so click here to see it in all it’s glory)

Otters can basically do no wrong in my book (until I discover there’s a species that eat infants or pollutes or something).

Holding hands? Check.

Stacking cups? Check.

Dunking basketballs? CHECK.

This is true - dogs see every possible thing as awesome (except maybe taking their temperature or cleaning their ears… those are decidedly not awesome) and it’s part of the reason why I am wholeheartedly a dog person.

Mon, 13 May 2013 12:47:48 -0400

“Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake. No, really, I couldn’t she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn’t a person with discipline; that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don’t eat the whole cake. You don’t eat a cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that’s safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what’s served on the happiest days of your life. This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake.”

- Jeanne Ray (via passtheranch)

(via The Scientific 7-Minute Workout - NYTimes.com)

“The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done.”

Well then.

Innnteresting!
