THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:
Guys. Guys. What did we do before youtube came into existence? Before youtube was laden with clips of absolutely everything you could possibly want, how did we fangirl properly? In order to see this scene I haven't seen since the tender age of three, I would have had to drive to the Video Station, pay $3 for Roberta, and then drive back to my house. Instead, a few clicks and I am watching Fred and Ginger dance prettily JUST LIKE THAT. (Also randomly of youtubish note: Hugh Laurie as Vincent Minnelli in a crappy made-for-TV Judy Garland biopic. Ahahahaha.)
So I just finished "Roman Holiday" and. Um. I had maintained some sort of Gossip Girl aloofness until this moment, wherein I could tell myself that I was only invested in less than half of the plotlines and I could tell the family members and friends who mocked me for watching it in the living room that yes, okay, the Kristen Bell voiceovers were lame as hell and Nate was really boring and his family storyline was very whatever and OF COURSE I am only watching it because there was this one guy who name-dropped my favorite favorite book while courting his very lovely Upper East Side blonde, and now... I don't know. I think I am won over :(
By the way, you guys, what do normal people take for colds? I STILL HAVE THIS CRAPPY COLD, and when I asked my sister's not-quite boyfriend this morning what people who have not grown up with hippie parents and homeopathic rememdies buy at the supermarket when they are going through a tissue box an hour he said Emergen-C. Which only serves to prove to me why Whole Foods is busier in this town than all of the regular stores combined.
AHHHHHH, you guys, HAPPY 2008! I am super excited for the books I have decided to read this year, for everyone's information!
