Kickass Kids of the Day: Craving a midweek pick-me-up? Perhaps in the form of a mini-hipster rendition of Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend”?
Twelve- and 8-year-old sisters Lennon and Maisy — and their butter containers — have you covered. You’re welcome.
I mean, me and my sister used to outline a stage out of shells and dance around. It’s on tape somewhere and it was just as good as this.
Monkey hands and bird feet are really high up on my list of least favorite things that make me feel a little bit like I’m gonna fall over and throw up. Both of those things are in this picture, but I’m okay with it because they’re hugging and it’s nice. It’s like a little cocoon of gross.
I was going to clean and everything today, but then I remembered Skins existed. WAY better.
This is exactly what today is.
Marriage Proposal of the Day: The planning! The dorkiness! The tears!
So imperfect it’s perfect.
[thanks, rob!]
Gurlfrand and I had the same look on our faces when the marching band and laptops came out. WOW.
Not even ashamed of how much I freaked over this.
Accurate.
HIS NAME IS RAMEN NOODLE AND HE LOOKS LIKE A MUPPET AND I JUST WANT TO SNUGGLE HIM.
Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Meet Ramen Noodle, a teacup poodle puppy who’s managed to thrive despite losing his front legs, and who is the subject of a new photo series by famed animal photographer Carli Davidson, known for past series Shake, Fetch, and Pets With Disabilities.
He was probably a mill puppy, inbred to achieve his tiny size. When he was 8 months old, his first owner brought him to the vet, with a broken arm. Unfortunately, the owner did not properly care for his injury, she didn’t come back to get the cast checked until nine weeks later. At that point, to no one’s surprise, the arm was nearly eaten away by gangrene. By then, Ramen Noodle was listless and refused food. It was a wonder he survived.
Jaime Salata Van Tassel, his clinic caretaker, ended up adopting him. But Ramen Noodle’s struggles weren’t over.
A second injury cost Ramen his other front leg; this time he jumped of a chair and broke the bone. Again, one of the effects of interbreeding dogs for small size is week bone, so his single teacup poodle arm broke so badly it could not be mended. While Jaime was devastated, Ramen surprised everyone and bounced back.
“Ramen gets around the house on his hind legs,” Jaime says. “I’ve watched him run at full-speed for toys, and to play with other dogs, he is essentially unrestricted despite his lack of front arms. … it’s like it never happened.”

Insta-laughs.
Teddy wants nothing to do with photobooth, I want nothing to do with taking off this hoodie and putting on real clothes today.
#1.) ”The Blowers Daughter”, Damien Rice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YXVMCHG-Nk
Funny title, very unfunny song. Okay, so it’s probably because it’s in Closer and all I can think about every time I hear it is that scene where Natalie Portman is all “I don’t love you anymore, goodbye” and everyones like “whaaaaaaat” and she just walks off down the street all alone, but it’s okay. God. Anyway. Sad.
#2.) “Your Ex-Lover is Dead”, Stars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FMOJMhV9s
There’s violin in this so you know it’s gonna be a bummer right from the start. The story is just so fucking sad. I can hold it together until the end of the first verse, “all of that time you thought I was sad, I was trying to remember your name”…um, ouch.
#3.) “Giving Up”, Ingrid Michaelson

There was that one Halloween a few years ago where I got really drunk and really sad for no reason and just played this on a loop for an embarrassing amount of time. There’s not a lot more pathetic than a sobbing, sloppy Sookie Stackhouse. It’s just never been the same for me since then. Ironically, this is one of the only songs I can kind of play on the ukulele, so I can make myself upset whenever!
