Can I Buy a BUMP-IT at Duane Reade?
You know, I realize the aughts or whatevs were pretty awful globally, but speaking about my own personal life, if the teens are half as good (especially as good as 2005-2009), I’ll be really incredibly happy.

Ann M. Martin went to Smith and I’m pretty sure Kristy would have as well.

I’m basically posting this just to express my continued awe in the forensic journalism going on over on ONTD. They’re like CSI: The Internet over there.

‘Baby-Sitters Club’ Returns With Prequel, Reissued... →
interweber:
Editors at Scholastic updated some of the references to technology and outdated fashions in the reissued books. So a “cassette player” has become “headphones” and a “perm” has become “an expensive hairstyle.”
I’ll buy it. And I’ll certainly buy these books. ESPECIALLY, because Ann M. Martin is in. MISS YOU BSC!
BOOK CLUB.
Smith College Fun Fact #1
The world’s first game of women’s basketball was played in the Alumnae Gym, the same building that now houses the papers of hundreds of notable women, including Smith alum Gloria Steinem.

“Miley is the Rayanne Graff to Taylor Swift’s Sharon Cherski. Demi Lovato is...”
– Thus far the only important commentary from year end music round ups. From Molly Lambert at This Recording. (via eatingpieelsewhere)
I prefer to think of Taylor as Angela, but this is extremely vital commentary nonetheless. Who is Jordan Catalano? I hope it’s not Nick Jonas.
It's The Most Wonderful Night of The Year!
Kennedy Center Honors! 9pm TONIGHT!
WatchA very funny (NSFW) video version of a sketch from November’s High Treason show! “A Little Business” was written by Brandon Gulya and stars Sarah Claspell and Rob Webber. I love it so much.

92y:
Tony-winning actress Patti LuPone was interviewed in Time Out New York last year, and informed us she was confused about the changes in Times Sqaure:
TONY: What is the biggest thing that’s happened to the city in the past 13 years?
Patti LuPone: What the hell are they doing to Times Square? This is my question. Is it a theme park? Is it a walking district? Is it a pedicab-carriage...
But It's Not Google
Despite the damning use of quotations in Katie’s recommendation (“You may want to try the “Bing” search engine”), it turns out Bing is AWESOME for finding flights. Found the fare I want for $115 less than on Kayak!
How Does Travel Work?
So, this is likely a stupid question, but, since I take the bus when I go to visit my family, I don’t really know how air travel works. I’ve been pricing out tickets for our honeymoon (CAN WE PLEASE GO NOW?) and tickets to Montreal seem really expensive. Is this just because I’m looking six months in advance? Will they get cheaper? Is this the sort of thing I should do with a...

Questions About the Route from Boston to New York
Is there really nothing that can be done about the congestion at New Haven?
See above, re: Hartford.
I hate you, Connecticut.

Never Mind!
It’s a web series and they do know each other! Just awkward.
I'm Working in a Coffee Shop
And there are two girls writing a sketch at the next table and I think this is their first time writing together, since they seem awkward, even for comedy writers, and you guys. It warms the cockles of my charred little heart.
Fair Warning
If I am not sound asleep in my bed within four hours, I am not going to be a happy camper.
All I Want For Dinner Is Yoooou (Bolognese)
Where can I get a really super delicious pasta bolognese on the west side of Manhattan between Canal and 26th if money is very much an object?
RIP, Tai
Between this, the documentary I watched last night, and reading The Chris Farley Show this weekend, eating disorders seem to be the theme of my weekend.

NYT: New York Reaches Out to Those Who Won't Come... →
You know, sometimes I read stories like this one, about folks who, on freezing nights, go to check on homeless people who don’t want to go to shelters every two hours, and I feel really profoundly guilty about my career choices. I firmly believe that you can have the biggest impact in this world by doing the thing you’re best at, but man. It’s hard to justify writing funny things...
“And the people called it ragtime. Ragtime!”
– Unknown (via caitlintime)
It is a mere ten hours until the greatest theatrical event of our lifetime: the night Jocelyn, Sarah, Caitin, Kate, and I descend on the Neil Simon Theatre. There will be mildly fancy clothing. Get ready, Broadway!
