A colleague sent me this. (Have sound on.)
Yes, it has been that sort of day at work.

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?

Toddler & Puppy Napping
It has been a bit of a rough week for me. My sister came to the rescue with a site that you have to see. Seriously, I defy you not to feel joy at this. Go see Theo and Beau.
More photos on the Instagram page of Beau's mother, but these are less "targeted" in nature.

Addition: I'm just going to add a link to this page. I'm not sure if some of these dogs are more inclined to have health issues -- a sad fact if so -- but many of them are quite cute. If health issues are mart of the equation, it is up to us as humans to change the math! For now, I give you the cheagle.

Anna Kendrick - Cups
I've actually become a fan of actor-singer Anna Kendrick. I just found this recent clip of her on Conan, which actually aligns with the word "cups" from her most famous video. Enjoy.

It's a World of World of Warcraft
I am a lifelong gamer and have been playing World of Warcraft since its launch almost ten years ago. Blizzard has released a great info graphic about WoW and what a cultural force it has been not just in the geek world, but in the world at large. More and more, those two worlds are the same. Joy.

Orange from Cradle to Grave
The Huffington Post has details on a true fan of the Denver Broncos.
Go Broncos. And good luck to Kara.

29 January 2014 Addition: Just tacking this on here. From the New York Times Magazine, Is it Immoral to Watch the Super Bowl?
4 February 2014 Update: East Rutherford, New Jersey... where dreams go to die. With both the Bruins and the Broncos losing their respective championships this past year, I'm holding on to the Red Sox that much tighter.

"Stop Beating a Dead Fox"
Frank Rich has written an interesting piece in New York Magazine that concludes that Fox News is basically in a death spiral of its own making. Moreover, he believes that progressives would be well served by embracing Fox News for its ability to keep a certain section of the right ill informed about the world and thus incapable of mounting a serious challenge within that world as a result. Also, because more and more of the base of the right feels the same disdain for Fox News as does the liberal left, the left would be better off focusing on countering this other branch of conservative politics. As Rich concludes:
It is worth the read.

Without Ailes and his Fox News to kick around anymore, the left may feel a bit disoriented—much as the right most certainly will once its unifying bĂȘte noire (literal and figurative), Obama, is gone from the White House. But while the right remains obsessed with fighting its unending war against a nearly lame-duck president, it behooves liberals to move on and start transitioning out of their Fox fixation. Paradoxically enough, the most powerful right-wing movement in the country, the insurgency in the Republican grassroots, loathes the Boehner-Christie-Rove-centric Fox News nearly as much as the left does. The more liberals keep fighting the last war against the more and more irrelevant Ailes, the less prepared they’ll be for the political war to come.
It is worth the read.

Adopt an Animal
The shelter through which one of our cats joined our family posted this today. I thought it worth sharing.
True words. Whether you can give an animal a much-needed home or not, consider a gift to the shelter of your choice today.
This other comic arrived courtesy of an old friend. It isn't related, but is funny all the same.
Stay warm out there.

Deer Eats Chili for Breakfast
This video answers the age-old question. If a deer farts in the woods, will I find it freaking hilarious?
Yes. Yes, I will.
23 January 2014
28 January 2014 Addition: Okay, looks like the deer had the right idea in ripping one outside!
Yes. Yes, I will.

Linnea Olsson - "Ah"
Last night, I listed to an interview on NPR with Swedish musician Linnea Olsson. She is a singer and cellist and I liked the clips of music that they played quite a bit. Today, I searched her out and found this video on YouTube. What do you think?
The album that they discussed is called Ah. I don't purchase much music; It has been 20 years since I purchased more than one album in a year. I might get this one.

Cat Confessions
I've seen some of these before, but too funny not to post. I've always enjoyed the Dog Shaming photos, so these featuring cats fit right in.

17 January 2014 Addition: My sister just reminded me of the caption that the cat from our youth would have inspired: I pooped in the turtle's aquarium! Ah, Chester, you were a magnificent bastard!
