weapons of massdistraction

Walking into work this morning I was greeted by my co-worker Matt, who assaulted me with goodness. First, in the form of a vegan blueberry almond cupcake, handcrafted by Sheela, who claims the frosting is made from unicorn tears. Then while consuming (and photographing) said cupcake he showed me various unicorn-related videos. Like Charlie the Unicorn (how had I never seen that one?) and Unicorn in C Major (better with the sound off) and Unicorn Rap.

Five other good things:

• Joss & Co. reveal plans for a Dr. Horrible sequel: Maybe a movie? Yes yes yes! Please?
• Also excited about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead.
• No Eye-Contact Glasses are freaky but funny.
• Today I learned of the blobfish, and watched video of this mysterious creature that may or may not be a hoax. These giant robotic spiders are definitely not real, but they are really fantastic.
• “Flying footwear are now the weapons of mass distraction” - hey now. I’m not throwing my shoes at anyone.

Despite some setbacks over the last week this past weekend was much better than the previous one. A decent balance between work and play. Many movies were seen. Friday I gave into the boy’s demands to see 17 Again. Saturday I saw Sunshine Cleaning on my own, after a long day of photo assisting at a wedding. And on Sunday, despite or perhaps because of our lethargy, we lazed while watching dance-themed movies. Kicked it off with a mini Gene Kelly marathon, then moved on to Planet B-Boy and ended with Step Up 2: The Streets…though I’d really wanted to watch Flashdance instead. Alas, it is sadly unavailable via Netflix Instant. But the world doesn’t revolve around our Roku box. Honest. I may even see some real live friends this week. And skip a free screening of Star Trek to do so.
