It’s a rainy and grey day over here. In case you are having “one of those days” as well here are some stories that perked me up or shook me up. What are you reading about online today?
1. You guys have heard about Jennifer Livingston, right? She is a tv anchor in Wisconsin and recently responded, on air, to a viewers fat shaming comment. {You can read about Jennifer Livingston in this blog post on NPR}
What adds a new layer to the story is that Jennifer is Ron Livingston’s sister. Yes, the actor from Office Space and the guy that broke up with Carrie on a post-it on Sex in the City.
2. KitchenAid’s OMFG moment on Twitter.
3. There is going to be a Grease reunion. Sort of. Ok. Not really. But John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are going to to release a Christmas album this year.
4. Steel Magnolias!! THE REMIX!And heck yes I will be watching. (will air this Sunday on Lifetime) I loved the play, then loved the movie, and I think it is brilliant that a tv movie is here.
5. Scientists just discovered miniature dinosaurs! Check out Pegomastax.
6. A knit artist (yes) just knitted herself a boyfriend.
7. Draw with silk. Online. Right now.
8. You watched the debate last night, right? NOW watch the debate in an animated GIF. (dedicating this to my Mom who has ben in love with animated GIFs for far too long)
9. Have you seen lava in water? No? Well now you can.

Steel Magnolias (the movie) is my favorite movie. I want to watch the TV movie but a part of me is scared that I’ll hate it and then not want to watch the real movie again. I know that’s weird…of course I’m also the person who stresses before seeing a movie based on books that I love.
Um, not to be all grammar police, but…Jennifer is Ron Livingston’s sister. And it’s Livingston, not Livingstone.
Ducking and running now.
No need to duck or run AT ALL!! I am so thankful that you caught my mistake there. Seriously.
And the Livingstons are from this city, I went to school with their brother Jon, And I went to college with Jennifer (although we were in the same class, I didn’t know her).
Amazing lava pictures. And a whole collection of interesting stuff! Thanks!
Okay-
To Jennifer Livingston, in the words of Chelsea Handler, “You go girl!”
Did you look closely at that photo of ONJ & Travola??? What is wrong with that picture??? Mini Dinos are cool. Steel Magnolias makes me cry WAY too much. Thanks for the new time suck of silk art, I can now blame you when my laundry sits in the dryer too long even though I am 8 feet away from it. That lava is HOT!
OK, I was aware of half of this, and the rest I spent going “Huh, really?”
It’s dark and drizzly here too. I’m OVER it!
