The Oregon Trail Trailer

I don't think you've played this game to the extent Brooke and I have, but since we've played it well into our 20s, I know you're at least familiar with it.  It was making me laugh out loud because I've experienced literally (and by "literally," I mean "in game play") every single thing they reference in here.  I love that they even got the background music right!

You will die on this trail just like old POOPFACE!

POST-EDIT - Truedson wants you to know that he showed this to me.  He demanded credit.

Belieber

I hate one of these people and I love the other. You can probably figure it out.

Jimmy and Justin

So guess what? Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are like BFFs. News to me. I don't think I've ever watched Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but based off the number of Jimmy Fallon clips I'll have put on your blog you would have never guessed. Anywee, these are some pretty clips of them together that I thought you would enjoy.




This next clip goes with the article below.

Guys With Fancy Lady Hair

I know how you love Lauren Conrad's Beauty Department hair tutorials and braided, hipster up-dos in general, so I know you'll be obsessed with these guys with fancy lady hair.  You can try and recreate the 'dos on yourself when you get home.  You're welcome.

Untranslatable Words from Other Cultures

I speak passing English.  Sometimes I'm able to express myself, sometimes I'm not.  It's really a crapshoot on any given day.  The fact that you are now speaking Tagalog kind of blows my mind.

I saw these cool illustrations on a blog today, and it made me think of you, speaking a crazy foreign language.  Ella Frances Sanders illustrated eleven words from other languages that have no direct translation in English.  The drawings are fun, quirky and made me thing, "Gosh, we really need a word for that!"

 Do you have this feeling?

I know this one! I'm glad another culture has a word for it - it makes me feel less alone in the crazy...
