Things I Love This Week: 10/13

  • I want to start this week off with some really great news: After 69 days, 21 of the 33 trapped Chilean miners have been rescued [as of 12:45pm]. That still means there are 12 men trapped down there, but this is very happy news for their families and loved ones—they’re on their way out. Be praying for the rescue workers as they work hard to get them all out safely, and for the miners themselves. You can also watch a live feed, which shows the rescue efforts from the surface as well as a camera that is inside the mine.  [MSNBC]
  • As it turns out, it’s slightly illegal to block off a freeway in order to promote your music. Take note, future musicians. [Today Show]
  • New York Magazine criticizes this season’s new network sitcoms, including NBC’s Outsourced (which I firmly oppose…really? A show about a call center in India? Lawsuit waiting to happen.) [New York Magazine]
  • This is quite possibly the best cake ever made. [The Daily What]
  • The Fug Girls (of GoFugYourself.com, a fantastic website) have made a slideshow & commentary of the worst men’s hair in pop culture for their NY Mag column. It’s so bad, it’s almost good. My favorite? Voldemort, of course! [Vulture]
  • Want to dress your pet up for Halloween? Check out the pop culture inspired pet costumes on Flavorwire. I personally plan on dressing my cats up as Lady Gaga and Elton John… [Flavorwire] 
  • TLC recently premiered a TV show called Sister Wives (Sister Wives? Really?!) and the family is now being investigated for polygamy. Well done, guys. Well done. [Newsy]
  • In case Ed Hardy’s bedazzled shirts, trucker hats, and a plethora of other unnecessary items aren’t enough for you, Christian Audigier’s house is up for sale. It could be your …for only $8 million. Upside: He’s throwing a Rolls Royce Phantom 5 into the deal. Downside: I won’t be your friend anymore if you buy it. [Curbed LA]
  • I am a nerd, so most of these posts have the obligatory Harry Potter reference. Here’s a pretty cool scan of the spreadsheet JK Rowling used to plot out The Order of the Phoenix. So much planning…nerd sigh. [Slash Film]
