Bits & Pieces

Friday! Finally.

I’m visiting my mom this weekend. We’ll eat a lot of brie and she’ll pretend not to be annoyed when I insist on watching a Keeping Up With the Kardashians marathon or something. My mom’s cool like that.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Here are some bits and pieces that made my week:

Last Saturday, Doctor Who fans had the sads. Lead actor Matt Smith announced he was to leave the show following the next Christmas special. Boo. This post on Hello Giggles was kind of perfect.

….and then almost immediate speculation on who would replace him began. My choice would be this handsome fellow.

The sweet story behind Before Sunrise.

The 2013 ‘Dirty Dozen’.

Stunning aerial views of London.

This girl wins break-up letters.

On spoilers. (Thanks H!)

Well played, Shoppers Drug Mart.

I always look forward to Toronto Life‘s Reasons to Love Toronto list and this year’s didn’t disappoint. It always reignites my love for this (mostly) awesome city. Now if we could just get rid of the mayor……

I can’t wait to see This Is The End but I had no idea Jonah Hill was this much of a douche, and he’s kind of ruining it for me.

Happy Friday y’all!

Here are some bits and pieces that made my week.

Great article about the state of childcare in Toronto.
An awesome montage of Mad Men drinking scenes.
How to huff a kitten.
I seriously hope this bride is embarrassed or at least slightly more aware of what a cuntbasket she is. But she probably feels no remorse. Because she’s an asshole.
Nerd alert! Nerdist bowls with the cast of Dr. Who and Moffat too.
How to make a sexy Halloween costume.
New Lana Del Rey video for Ride.

Hey kids,

It’s Friday again! My plan tonight is to dance my face off at Margret Bar in the Junction to some soul music sprinkled with 80′s pop classics. I plan to spend the balance of the weekend napping in the park and eating a lot of sandwiches. Hope your weekend is equally amazeballs.

Here are some bits and pieces that made my week.

I lost almost an entire morning to this video of a slinky on a treadmill. I was transfixed. I won’t tell you how it ends

An all nutella cafe? Sign me up! (article is in French)

Ohmygod have you heard of IKEA hackers????? People take IKEA stuff and jazz it up. Genius!

This story breaks my heart but is also inspiring.

Two of my favourite “quirky sexy’ British men – Matt Smith (Dr. Who) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) – together on stage honouring the amazing Steven Moffat. It’s almost too much for my nerdy heart to handle.

Cute marriage proposal.

An amazing article on adoption.

Who knew Tom Brady could be funny?

Yo yo yo,

This has felt like the longest week ever – anyone else? And I was only in the office for three days. I guess that’s what happens when you get back from an amazing vacation (Curacao post coming soon!) and experience withdrawal from sunshine and pina coladas and unlimited bacon.

Sigh.

Anyhoodle – hope y’all have a great weekend. I’m looking forward to the Super Bowl on Sunday. Not so much for the football aspect, but for the nachos and beer that usually accompany it, natch. I also enjoy randomly shouting “PENETRATE THE BLITZ!” at various points throughout the game, but I don’t know what it means.

Here are some bits and pieces that made my week:

I love Mumford & Sons so hard. I also crush on Taylor Swift. So Taylor singing ‘White Blank Page’ ?- all over it.
This video completely blew me away – and it was filmed in a Toronto bookstore called Type Books!
I would definitely consider extending my next trip to NYC a little to take advantage of one of these weekend getaways.
How to look cute in the cold. The temps in Toronto have been somewhat mild of late (booyah), so I’ve been getting by with my spring coat, a scarf, and my Hunter rain boots. But I have a feeling that by next week I’ll be burrowing back into my trusty 3-year-old Aritzia parka. Blerg.
I’ve been loving the “Shit ‘whoevers‘ Say” videos popping up all over the interweb. This one might be my favourite. I highly doubt anyone would be interested in a ‘Shit law Firm Marketers Say’ video but that won’t stop me from making one. Consider yourself warned.
I’d literally shit myself. But damn, these are some amazing pictures.
Dr. Who – 47 years in 6 minutes. The nerd in me squeed a little. Also, this was a helpful catch-up given that I’ve only very recently gotten into Dr. Who (solely due to Matt Smith) but have seen some David Tennant episodes too that I liked.
I don’t have an iPhone (gasp!) but I can completely appreciate the hilarity of auto correct. This site is my favourite new time waster.
Oooh tea party!
Yup, it’s a tumblr featuring a dog with food on its head. Simple. Hilarious. And I think it’s kind of genius.
