James Franco's article on Girls

James Franco recently wrote an article about his thoughts on the HBO show Girls. I haven't seen the show and I may or may not watch it one day, but I like James Franco sometimes! Apparently there is some controversy about the all white cast on the show. Which I kinda think is bs as there are shows with all black or predominately black casts. I am white and I watch them and don't get all pissy that there are no white people on the shows or movies (I heart Tyler Perry movies!). The controversy is completely off topic for this post, but that is what led me to the James Franco article. My favorite line from the article

 "I watched Steel Magnolias incessantly when I was in junior high school, and I can get off on female bonding." 

Really James Franco you watched Steel Magnolias incessantly?! What? James Franco can be funny, but this kinda comes from left field. If this is true than you I guess you really did fit your first role in Freaks and Geeks!  All I can say is I live outside of Natchitoches, La. the town the movie was based on and where it is filmed. Give me a heads up the next time you are in the area and I will give you a personal tour!

An Illustrated Guide to the Perfect Driveway Car Wash

This illustrated guide is brought to you courtesy of The Art of Manliness! Unfortunately, I now have the song "Carwash" running through my head which is probably not very manly. Which is ok because I am a girl.

John and Robin Gray use the Airstream kinda as a traveling store to sell their wares when they go to the Marburger Farm Antique Show.  This is probably not the best description so I would suggest you check out their website which has an article about them from Romantic Homes. The inside of the Airstream Trailer is a little over the top which is probably what makes it soooo romatice! The car though is kick ass.

Groomsmen Wedding Dance

There are alot of choreographed wedding dances out there, but I LOVE this one because of their AWESOME dance moves. Who knows though I haven't seen Justin Bieber's "Baby" video so this could be the actual dance moves!

Loving CNN Photo!

I don't know what it is, but I am loving CNN Photo right now. Seems the format may be following the iReport format with independent photographers posting stories.  Not super clear on this, but it is my best guess.

There are other interesting articles, but it would take me all day to list them so just go check it out for yourself!

"Your Stripper Name Should Be Stormy"

A few people (like 2) have posted the Vinyl Windows are Great! video on their Facebook today. It made me go back and track the video to the creators website Building Revival which I am totally digging just because of the names of their different sections. Like Barn Porn and Houses Gone Wilde just to name two. The newest barn post is about a round barn in Montana that is kick ass! It doesn't seem to be the most navigable site, but the post are interesting and I like how the guy writes. The title for this post I pulled out of his post It's Time to Start (Weather)stripping.

I don't know why I am so amused by two white guys who are not rappers rapping, but it makes me smile!

76 Slaves...

is how many I have working for me according to the Slavery Footprint. It looks to me to be modeled after the carbon footprint calculators and uses your answers to specific questions to calculate the number of "slaves" you have working for you.  My seems to be higher than average, but that is probably because of all my electronics and jeans! I don't know how they factor in replacement of items so that may have made mine high since I tend to hold on to things for years.

To Save Day Light or Not?

 I was perusing the Morning Cup O' Links on Mental Floss and came across a link to this video explaining Day Light Savings Time.
