A blog post for today? Sure, why not...
1) Dorothy Parker
I bought her collected works last weekend, and had an idea about writing a book. It's fiction, so don't fret that I don't have a ton of experience to be writing something actual. Dorothy was a bad ass, writing bluntly and satirically about society, when all the preeminent writers were male.

I like to think that reading her short stories and poems might foster a little more badass-ness every day.
2) Call Me Maybe

4) Candy
Eye Candy, Hard Candy, Sweet Life. Put one pack of Twizzlers in you grocery cart and everything is a little more fun for the week. Whether it's a picnic in the park, scandalous tweets from the 50 Shades of Grey twitter feeds, or a perfect pop song playlist on iTunes, things can get a little sweeter. It also helps when you've just made a quick, painful t(rip) to Brazil...
5) DogmaI've felt a void in the last couple weeks. Why? I haven't seen the movie Dogma is years. Yes, I can get my Kevin Smith fix in other ways, in other films, but this is my favorite, above and beyond. Alan Rickman is the Metatron...
