Girl Anachronism

I was linked to this from a friend over Facebook. Have you ever encountered something that was just like a giant flaming neon arrow to something you've been searching for but haven't quite seen yet?

I feel like saying this. This This This. A thousand times this.

Brene Brown's TED talk on Vulnerability:

I've watched this five times in a row without blinking.

The Finnish version of Ducktales, with subtitles for what it sounds like in English:

Cee-Lo has accomplished the impossible. He made me like Gwyneth Paltrow.



THIS OWNS SO EFFING HARD.

I will finish that meme, eventually. Things have been very quiet (almost too quiet) but I'm getting a lot of rest, and that's what matters. In a continuation of last year, I'm doing my 2010-wrap up, via music, courtesy of youtube, with a bit of something extra for the new year:

Countdown to New Year's

( 2010 Edition )

This song has been getting me through the past week. My Thanksgiving gift from me to you:



( lyrics )

So. Spiderman Musical.

We in the Theater School have all kind of unanimously reacted like this:



I mean, hey, the sets and costumes all look pretty cool. And Evan Rachel Wood is no longer attached (thank God). But still, I think our reaction is "WHY?"

(Of course, the answer is we've spent 52 goddamn million dollars and it WILL GO UP IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE EVER DO)

Mostly I'm skeptical. I think it's pretty unecessary, and the money, time, and talent could probably have been better spent elsewhere. But hey, if they were to pay me to paint something on that thing, you bet your ass I'd be all over it, so there you go.

I haven't listened to the score yet. I'm not sure that I will. I'm too afraid. But if it's anything like the song they did for Batman Forever, then it could probably sound pretty good. (Not for a MUSICAL mind you).



However, it still can't top the best superhero song ever:

What's that in the fourth picture, in the background?
