A.V. Club: Winter Vacation

in: the press, in: viewing room

The Dunce Cap’s been on such a hiatus, but we’re back! So much to share.

I’m spending some quality time with Chaucer, so I’ll keep these fairly brief. But, if I can stick to the plan, I’ll be posting a couple of things every day for the entirety of vacation.

Jason Bateman and Will Arnett started this ingenious comedy enterprise, dumbdumb productions, which creates and distributes hilarious web content. They began with a series of videos for Orbit Dirty Shorts, including this one.

Canine Arts n’ Crafts

Also a major winner.  This video for Best Friends Animal Society encourages you to adopt a pet this holiday season, and I think this particular tactic will really work. [The Daily What]

And in the News Flash! category, two big things a-happenin’.

First – Zanessa is dunzo! No more Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens lovin’. Sources (however unreliable) say the duo’s relationship has run its course. [LA Times] Maybe it was Zefron’s excellent new facial hair.

From a more reputable expert comes the following exchange:

C: “Efron. Single.”
D: “Efron. Gay.”

Lee's back in the Phillies uniform with R2C2

Second – Cliff Lee signs to the Phillies. Again. This makes the Phillies’ rotation as follows: Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels. Which begs the question: WTF?! [ESPN]

And, for shits n’ giggles, I joined free dating site OKCupid!, so expect some fun anecdotes from that endeavor in the coming weeks. I am not using the website for its intended purpose. It’s amusing, y’know? It’s a sociological experiment of sorts.

Dear blogosphere (particularly the students of Criticism in the Digital Age),

This is my second WordPress blog (see the first one, “The Girl With the Hasidic Strap” here), and it’s the purpose, primarily, of this one to compile all of my deepest musings on popular culture.

I am fascinated by popular culture. From the most inane to the highest brow, I hoover all kinds’a culture phenomena. I read “McSweeney’s” and “The National Enquirer,” and my iTunes runs the gamut from Miley to Bon Iver (yummy) – the buck, though, stops at Justin Bieber. I adore Zooey Deschanel for all the right reasons and Zac Efron for all the wrong. I’m a music connoisseur and an obnoxious font of useless musical knowledge, and I plan to write about all this and more here.

The box at the top right is a dropdown menu which can direct you to my posts, divided by subject matter (this is subject to change).

Comments are greatly appreciated.

For links to published clips and personal musings, visit The Girl With the Hasidic Strap, as mentioned previously.

Best,
The Girl
