I'm Lovin It: Things I'm Digging This Week V.6



  • It's widely known amongst my group of friends that one of my favorite movies is You've Got Mail.  I honestly find it impossible to watch this movie and be in a bad mood.  I get Kathleen Kelly; I really do and I find the idea of falling in love with someone's words utterly charming.  I also have a pretty silly sense of humor, so you can imagine my delight when I read about a girl who responded to all Tinder messages with dialogue from the movie.  I really think someone out there needs to find the last guy in article and marry him.
  • Kate turned me on to "Riptide" when she was in town last week and I listened to it on repeat for days; coupled with the fact that I generally think Taylor Swift is killing it these days, I love this cover that she did.  So many things I love collide!
  • Sound of Music junkie that I am, I really appreciated this comedic rewrite of "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."
  • This Gone Girl inspired image; the sex scene from that movie is basically giving me night terrors but this cartoon makes me chuckle (as much as one can chuckle about a sociopath).
  • I might be a little late to the party here, but thanks to my book club, I finally got around to reading Unbroken, the story of Louis Zamperini, the American Olympian who was stranded at sea for 46 days, only to be held prisoner in a gruesome POW camp.  There's a movie  adaptation coming out this Christmas but the real story is phenomenal, and I loved getting to learn more about real life Louis (he was a pretty precious old man).
  • Consider this your yearly reminder to rewatch the Scream trilogy (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
  • Thanks, Zach, for saying what we all want to say to Justin Bieber.
  • I think Malala is a tremendous and fascinating individual.  Here's a quick read on her and a TED Talk her father gave, which I loved.
  • "Perfectionism doesn't protect us": I can't lie, I have been talking about perfectionism and vulnerability a lot with my therapist and how much I try to do everything just right to feel like I have some sense of security, stability, and control over my life.  I'm ruminating on this idea a lot so this video felt particularly timely.
  • Minute 1:06.  100% chance of Puppy Hugs.  YES. If only it were true!
