Calvin & Hobbes Christmas Snowman

My first exposure to Calvin & Hobbes was in the pages of the Johnstown Breeze, for some reason the Johnstown paper carried the comic before the Loveland Paper did, and my Mom kept her mail subscription of the Breeze just so I could enjoy Calvin. Calvin’s snowmen were always witty and fun – now Jim Frommeyer and Teague Chrystie have recreated Calvin’s winter antics in video format.

Rosie Pope – Pregnant in Heels

If you haven’t heard of this show, DON’T WATCH IT. I found a random link that sent me to this show on Hulu. I would review it, but I would rather quote from this review by Ken Levine

Bravo’s PREGNANT IN HEELS — Oh my f-ing God!

The show centers around Rosie Pope, a willowy opportunist who calls herself a “Maternity Concierge” to the “million dollar mamas” of New York’s Upper East Side. These rich sheep now have consultants for everything. I imagine these self-proclaimed experts are selected by which cable network their reality show is on.

Read the rest of his review, it’s brilliant.

Why you aren’t married

Great article on Huffington Post about marriage and how to find the right man.

Here is just one tidbit of sage wisdom from the article.

The deal is: most men just want to marry someone who is nice to them. I am the mother of a 13-year-old boy, which is like living with the single-cell protozoa version of a husband. Here’s what my son wants out of life: macaroni and cheese, a video game, and Kim Kardashian. Have you ever seen Kim Kardashian angry? I didn’t think so. You’ve seen Kim Kardashian smile, wiggle, and make a sex tape. Female anger terrifies men. I know it seems unfair that you have to work around a man’s fear and insecurity in order to get married — but actually, it’s perfect, since working around a man’s fear and insecurity is big part of what you’ll be doing as a wife.

It’s just so true, all us guys are totally afraid of angry, scary women.
