It’s a nippy, breezy morning here in Northwest Arkansas, and the only plans I have for the day are to read for comps, sip coffee, and watch my beloved Hogs on the boobtube at 2:30. Have I mentioned that right now we’re ranked #6 according to BCS? For the first time ever? Anyway . . . I expect the blanket with sleeves will figure into the plans somehow.
If you have a similarly lounge-y afternoon on the docket, here are a few ways to waste a little time on the interwebz.
Marcel the Shell is back for another round of cuteness.
- ‘Tis the season for Awkward Family Photos, Christmas Edition.
- Tavi Gevinson (the internet’s fashion wunderkind) teaches you how to bitchface.
- Though I’ve sworn off Velveeta queso, this recipe from Tasty Kitchen looks crazy good.
- Jay Smooth talks about what we talk about when we talk about race.
- Northampton folk singer-songwriter Chris Pureka performs “Come Back Home” (as featured on this week’s episode of Covert Affairs).
- Learn from Kristen Stewart herself how to speak more good.
Ya’ll have any big plans for the weekend? Whatever you’ve got ahead of you, I hope it’s a snuggly and snorgly one. Happy Caturday!

xoxo, Joce

I had forgotten all about Marcel. Thanks
Woot woot. Thanks! I almost forgot about this!
On second thought, is this even fair since I was in London even more recently than you? Although I somehow managed to leave without getting myself any tea.
Kate – There’s also a new Marcel book. I haven’t read it, but it looks cute! http://tinyurl.com/cmn88vo
Mandy – It is TOTES fair!
