aruanA lot of sucky things happened to me professionally this week, so instead, have some of the good stuff that helped balance it out.
The Washington Post got more than 350 entries for a Peep (yes, the marshmallow birds) diorama contest. See the best.
Some enterprising journalist put master violinist Joshua Bell in a subway station as a social experiment. Personally, I'm always late for work, but love the violin, so it could've gone either way.
Pets do silly things, and their owners caption them even more hilariously.
Speaking of animals, have a British cat who commutes to a fish and chips shop.
On Dancing With the Stars, Joey did the tango to a remix of the Star Wars theme. My HEART, people.
Playing Scrabble against someone who's ranked 160 points higher than me, being at least 50 points behind for the entire game, and then pulling it out in the last three turns and beating him BY ONE POINT. Nothing like it.
There's something that weighs heavily on my heart. Rick Sanchez was the co-anchor of the Fox News affiliate in South Florida, which is all we watched in my house when I was growing up. Anyway, he was always a little bit goofy, liked oddball stories and made the cheesiest jokes. But it seems even South Florida got too small for him and he has somehow become a correspondent for CNN. Reading his Wikipedia entry was a fascinating exercise, since I had no idea he'd become a respectable journalist along the way instead of staying the oddball anchor who tried to charm you through the camera. Now he reads everyone's news, though thankfully, he still volunteers to be Tased and go down in a sinking car occasionally. Keep the faith, Rick.
