Is Your Friday Drab, Dull, Unglamorous? Let Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling And A Dog Fix That!

Um, don’t freak out, okay munchkins, but it looks like the sky is quite literally falling. Well, that is to say a satellite is hurtling towards earth. Also? NASA doesn’t know exactly where or exactly when it will hit. Come ON, NASA, it’s not like this is rocket scie-oh. (ABC)

Speaking of NASA, they’re asking us, the unwashed masses to help them develop apps for smart phones. (Wired)

While we’re on the subject of apps, the French have developed an app that will let you know whether or not your son is gay. There are questions about musicals, you guys. I am totally someone’s gay son. Also, this link, is, I believe, one hundred percent genuine. (The Awl)

You see, I’m a (not-so) closeted musical nerd, so wail with me, fellow nerds, at the idea of a Ryan Murphy and Gwyneth Paltrow musical movie. (Celebitchy)

My lobster, Patty O’Green sent me a duo of Texan links that make me a mite uncomfortable. The first is about Larry Flynt’s public request for any dirt/smut on Presidential candidate Rick Perry. While I would love to see Perry off the ballot, I’m not a fan of dirty politics. Is there even such a thing as clean politics anymore? (Yahoo) And Texas has decided to abolish the practice of granting death row inmates a Last Meal. The language in here about the inmates is fairly callous. (Yahoo)

For all you “Archer” fans (I will watch it…eventually…I swear), Case wants you to know that the Paley Center is having an event in November. Paley Center always does a really classy job. (Paley Center)

Speaking of class, check out these images from The Gangster Squad set. What? Flasks are classy!! (Evil Beet)

Gawk if you will, at these images of an ancient bridge made from living trees. (Architizer)

Not NEARLY as ancient are these things we used to use the internet for. Oh, “Hot Or Not,” I don’t miss you at all. (Unreality)

I know my Pajibans. You like words and you like booze. So consider this my ultimate gift to you. A Typewriter that makes cocktails. Dellegible. (Gothamist)

I love this video. I constantly do this when I’m not working regular hours. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHY DON’T YOU HAVE JOBS?

Finally, this is where I admit my fondness for Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots. You all still love me, right?

Aw man, you made me look at Gosling again.

A someone who lives in a neighborhood completely dominated by the stroller mafia, that video is almost too realistic to be funny.

Ever try asking two women who are occupying a table for six with their baby paraphernalia if you can have just one chair? They lookat you as if you're a child-killer

It's become so bad that a bakery recently put up "Child Unfriendly" signs because the moms would come in order two coffees and sit all day with their undisciplined kids running around screaming, alienating all other customers.

Oh, PaddyDog, you live in Park Slope, too? I think adults there are outnumbered twice over. It's kind of terrifying.

Then when the kids grow up after private school lets out they take them to Dunkin Donuts for ice cream and croissan'wiches, tying up the small staff while I wait to order coffee on my break from work (Denis Leary was and continues to be right).

Sometimes I'm disappointed that my looks of burning loathing never translate as well to the eye (like that line in "The Stand"), but then, I've been working in public service for years, I would have long ago been fired if my face was fully expressive.

My vet's office has a sign that reads:

Unattended children will be given a shot of espresso and a puppy.

I love it. It might actually make "those" kinds of parents a little less inclined to let their kids run amok in businesses.

Oh, I shouldn't give the impression that I don't also goddamn hate goddamn babies and their ilk.

Except when I don't.

But that's when they're more on the quiet side, or at least the happier side. They have not been on the quiet side the past two days, so I goddamn hate them.

Posted by: Jay at September 23, 2011 2:59 PM

Always, JoRo. Always.

Posted by: Scully at September 23, 2011 3:00 PM

Damn. That was good but I had to stop watching when the laptop people showed up.

I hate laptops and their people.

So much.

Oh, don't worry, I'll be fine, it's going to be a very pleasant weekend, I think!

A Typewriter that makes cocktails. Dellegible.

I can think of no better way to transcribe the works of Hemingway and Kerouac.

Loquacirrhosis of the liver, HERE I COME!

It wasn't enough that my great uncle Danny died, but now Ryan Murphy needs to make a musical for goddamn GOOP? What the hell, world?

Posted by: KatSings at September 23, 2011 3:37 PM

I think that video applies to anyone who works in a major city or metropolitan area. It's definitely like that in DFW, especially the stay-at-home moms and people who love to show off their fancy laptops. Even on my "sick days" I still get impatient in line at Starbucks when the people in front of just delightfully can't decide what they want. Don't you have someplace to be like me, I think. Even when I don't have any place to be.

The Big Lebowski said the bums lost, but not from where I'm standing behind two sisters, their elderly father, and their children who always bump into my knees and never once say their sorry -- nor do the mothers ask them to. Get a job, bums! (Especially those damn kids.)

"Oh, “Hot Or Not,” I don’t miss you at all."

The intertubes have definitely improved as the nerds have lost the upper hand.

Forget those silly (but pretty) humans, the real star of The Gangster Squad is that adorable bulldog!

Posted by: Angeleno Ewok at September 23, 2011 5:13 PM

The term "stay-at-home mom" is such a misnomer. They never stay home. They travel in merciless hordes, leaving garbage strewn tables and migraines wherever they decide to settle.
And don't get me started on the ones who think the acceptable way to cross the street when the light is against them is to push the stroller out in front of my car assuming I will brake.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 23, 2011 5:54 PM

Sing out, sister.

Posted by: Jay at September 23, 2011 6:30 PM

Who knew that cities had lots of people in them? Unpossible.

Posted by: Slash at September 23, 2011 6:45 PM

I'm not upset about ending the Last Meal tradition, but I think there should be exceptions. I think the innocent people they're about to execute should be entitled to a Last Meal request.

Posted by: Pat C. at September 23, 2011 7:31 PM

I am tempted by Puss In Boots because Antonio Banderas has such a great voice. Also, one of the previews uses my favorite totally bizarre White Stripes song, "Conquest". I may have to go, just to support use of that song. Anywhere.

This photo of Ryan and Emma is my favorite.

It looks like her head doesn't belong to her body.

Posted by: susie derkins at September 23, 2011 8:34 PM

I'm a massage therapist, so I work very flexible hours and what I wear is completely casual.

I also live in a technology corridor. I often end up grabbing lunch either on my day off or before heading to work at the same time that all of the tech offices are on break. I end up being the only person in the completely full restaurant not in office wear. I am sure people look at me and assume I don't work.

Looking at those pictures, I can't help but think; 'somewhere, Norman Rockwell is jizzing in his grave'.

And Wednesday: they have that sign on some of the lines at Disneyland too.

Oh, RobP Dallas isn't a city. It's a mirage caused by heatstroke, and even then it's just an overlarge and over-shiny village.

Posted by: John G. at September 24, 2011 3:52 PM

Ummm, you know I love you, JoRo, right? So I say this with a heavy heavy heart: the Nerd Approved link is hacked and will fuck up your browser. And scare you shitless with some really awful rap. So... ummm... yeah...
