It was a good Christmas.

(via Hollywood Reporter)
16. Tie: The Life & Times of Tim. HBO. Ridiculously, outrageously funny. A minimalist slice of animated genius. Archer, FX. See above, sub out “minimalist” and insert “filthtastic.”
Wha what, the show I’m editing on made in on the list. If you haven’t seen The Life & Times of Tim, check it out. It is a “minimalist slice of animated genius.”

A First
This is the first holiday in…ever that I have not baked delicious treats. And I LOVE baking delicious treats, but I just haven’t had the time.

We recorded this a few days ago in our practice space: its a winter/holiday song, its a gift to the internet, thank you for the lovely, intense year!

Why I Am An Awesome Girlfriend
Last night, as we were browsing movies to watch on Netflix Instant, I asked, “Can we watch Die Hard? It’s a Christmas movie.” (As if I needed any justification for wanting to watch Die Hard. Any time is a good time for Die Hard!)
I May or May Not
have accidentally knocked the screen out of someone’s second story bathroom window while trying to clean it.
I may or may not know how to effectively get it back in. Unless, of course, you are the owner of said bathroom window screen, in which case, I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT I AM DOING.
That being said, anyone have any helpful suggestions?

Mine got funny a couple of weeks ago and this morning it went back to soul-crushing, testicle-clenching terror.
