Watch On Mute

The music is pretty terrible, but please enjoy this somehow-mood-elevating four minute video of people completing physiologically unlikely acts.

I’ve never really been that interested in watching sports, but when I do, it’s never about a team or any kind of narrative; I truly love watching people do incredible things with their bodies and pushing the outer limits of what they can do.

Peyton Siva: My Secret Boyfriend

ImageLast night was pretty major in the ‘Ville, so today will be a sloooooow day here, since I’m just now getting up and around. Congrats to the boys (esp. my secret boyfriend, Peyton), and I’m glad to see everyone in town excited and celebratory! Time to fly to Las Vegas and cash my ticket.

Lazy Sunday: 7 April

As always, here are some things to think about before going back to work tomorrow.

  • Zach Maher tells us a little bit about restaurant critics of yore
  • On New New Atheism.
  • Is baseball the best American sport? More importantly, will this be the summer I decide to like baseball?
  • My friend’s little brother was on Kimmel! I think he made it, right?
  • Leslie Jamison has this outstanding piece over at the Oxford American about…West Virginia and tax fraud and ultramarathoning and jail and…just read it.
  • The April Fools Jokes that weren’t.
  • Most movies aren’t shot in anything resembling chronological order, but here are some that were, and why.
  • Fancy basketball player outfits.
  • Why do we clap?
  • My girlcrush, Rose Surnow, writes about Erika Christensen, my brand new girlcrush in NY Mag.

Every Ten Years Madness!

Harder than it looks.

I just lost an hour of my life playing this game. Helpful Hint: You actually have no idea how many people live in Pittsburgh comparative to Omaha or Fresno.

The Freakin’ Weekend

Please pay off.

Please pay off.

I’ve got a full weekend, y’all. Heading to Evansville to pick up my grandmother’s classic Camaro, hosting a HUGE Motherlodge event (come! for free!), cheering on my sister’s alma mater in the NCAA tournament, helping to host a massive Good Friday seafood feast, dyeing 10 dozen eggs, going to I think five to ten brunches, and working in several very long and hard workouts before it’s all said and done. What are you up to? Tell me!
