next_to_normalWelcome back, y'all. Hope everyone who celebrated something had a nice holiday. I spent the week at my parents' house, with a brief foray to New York to see First Date (more on that in a separate post, and as soon as I figure out how to get pictures off my new phone and into a post) and utterly failed to keep up with the Internet. So here are some links that you probably already saw a week ago.
* A Sherlock minisode in preparation for the new season starting in January.
* The Americans announced a premiere date for season 2. Also, a new trailer!
* Jennifer Lawrence is taking over the world because of her incredible talent, not her propensity for fart jokes. Duh.
* Neil Gaiman talked about strong female characters and why Buffy was so good at it (hint: it has nothing to do with physical strength).
* I'm sure some of you had figured this out already, but apparently Loki is literally in his rebellious teenager phase.
* The cast of House of Lies did a long-form improv at Upright Citizens Brigade. House of Lies is not the greatest show, but it does have a great cast (Kristen Bell! Don Cheadle!) and this involves mpreg and kittens and other weird shit.
* This is really interesting - did you know that you physically feel different emotions in different parts of your body?
* The "Call Me Maybe" chick is taking over for Laura Osnes as Cinderella on Broadway. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH "NO" IN THE WORLD.
* The Vampire Diaries is adding a gay character. I hope he lasts longer than any of their (non-Bonnie) characters of color...
So tell me what I missed! Tell me about your holiday! Or whatever else you want!

Date: Dec. 31st, 2013 04:13 pm (UTC)I was glad to hear Neil Gaiman got it--though am amused that the words spoken by (popular white male) him are the ones that make an article.
Yep. It's something women have been saying for ages.
