Paul McCartney Rabbit Hole

by Miss Cellania
Erin H

This is amazing, it really flows much better than I expected. via Fatbob

The simple explanation for this video is that Swede Mason (previously at Neatorama) has Paul McCartney doing a rap song about modern music. That doesn't quite do it justice, however. The tight editing, fast rhythm, and masterful rhyming make it a quirky masterpiece.

(YouTube link)

Someone asked swedemason how he made videos like this.

Alot of grinding. I don't use transcribed audio. I think it sounds shit when things are kinda just stuck together with the correct words. I look for the right intonation of sounds and syllables, sometimes chop up words to make the words i need. Writing this down makes it sound like a total ballache, and thats cos it is a total ballache.

And there ensued a discussion on the proper pronunciation and meaning of ballache, because it looks like a French musical term. He meant ball ache. -via reddit

Janelle Monae Produces a Late Entry Into ‘Worst of the Year’

by Heather
Erin H

A rare miss for her. The only part of this I like is the purse.

We could go on and on about the top of this outfit, and the zipper, and the fact that she's essentially wearing a tennis dress. But let's skip all that, because none of that is the headline. Those are pants. Detached pants. This outfit is built to drop trou. It's a motherf'ing pants-down scrolldown. …

'Wonder Wheel' Review: Kate Winslet Singes in Woody Allen's Dour Drama

Erin H

Why do people still work with Woody Allen? Ugh, now I have to put JT on the boycott, and I really liked him.

Kate Winslet is on fire in Woody Allen's Wonder Wheel, playing Ginny, an unhappily married waitress living near the boardwalk on Brooklyn's Coney Island circa 1950. This broken dreamer is pushing 40 and reaching the limits of her patience with Humpty (a solidly affecting Jim Belushi), the carousel-operator she married to provide a semblance of security for her pre-teen,

Of course, instead of, you know, a woman.

Awards season kicks off in January with the Golden Globes—a fun dinner party for famous people in Spanx and tuxedos to eat, imbibe clear liquor, and accept awards while wedding reception-drunk. This year, Forbes writes, we need a “feminist” host—and that host is NOTED feminist hero Seth Meyers!!

​How to Flu-Proof Every Spot in Your Home

by Shifrah Combiths
Erin H

Get a goddamned flu shot. Boom, done.

While the CDC recommends that "the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season," it's also a good idea to pay special attention to where germs in your home can proliferate and be passed around, especially if someone in your household gets sick. Flu germs can live on hard surfaces for 24 hours, so target these hot spots in particular.

Hole in the bucket organizing

by Jacki Hollywood Brown
Erin H

Sharing because my grandpa used to sing this to me and hearing it made me so very happy this morning. :)

When I was a little girl grandmother and aunt taught me Harry Bellefonte’s Hole in the Bucket song and of course I remember watching the classic Sesame Street performance on TV.

 

The Hole in the Bucket is a classic endless loop dilemma that at we all get stuck in at some point. If you’re stuck in an endless loop in your computer program you can simply press CTRL +ALT +DEL to break the cycle. Unfortunately, real life doesn’t have CTRL +ALT +DEL buttons so you’ll need to look for another way to exit the endless loop.

The first step is to recognize that you’re in an endless loop. If you don’t seem to be getting anywhere, write down the list of tasks you need to complete to achieve your goal. If you’ve written a task more than once, you’re likely in an endless loop. In the song, Henry’s problem was the hole in his bucket.

Change focus. Henry was focused on getting a whole bucket of water. If he had focused on another part of his task list, for example sharpening his axe, he would have realized that a small cup would have carried enough water to wet his stone. If you’re trying to organize your home and you keep focusing on the kitchen, consider focusing on the dining room instead. An organized dining room may free up enough space to allow you to easily organize the kitchen.

Working with new people can help escape an endless loop. Henry was working with Liza who was offering no real solutions and seemed to be perpetuating the loop. If Henry had spoken with a neighbour, he could have borrowed a bucket or an axe and had his problem solved. Talking to a friend, family member, or hiring a professional organizer can provide new and insightful clues to resolve your organizational problems.

Using your wildest imagination could provide unique solutions. If buckets didn’t exist, how would Henry get water? What would buckets be made of so they would never get holes? In your own situation, what if you could just wave a magic wand and have the clutter disappear? If you had unlimited funds, how could you solve the problem? Even if the answers are outlandish, they just might just lead to a solution you may not have previously considered.

Have you ever been stuck in an endless loop? What helped you escape? Please share with our readers in the comments.

3rd place in Derby #620: GONE

Things We Miss About Renting Movies at Blockbuster:

1) Being able to buy movie theater quality snacks at movie theater prices!

2) Getting absolutely no help from the teenage staff- or their slightly older manager.

3) Being able to see how popular a movie was based on how many copies of it were placed on a shelf.

4) Watching random movies on the handful of televisions placed in the corners of the store.

5) Having to emotionally commit to one or two movies for the whole week.

6) Late fees.
