It feels like this week has been super long, doesn't it?  I'm sure you're running out of ways to look busy before starting your weekend.  Allow me to help!

Here's a sweet summer story to get things rolling - the origin of the Popsicle.  (Gizmodo)

Why not try making your own popsicles at home?  Those Berry White Sangria Pops are calling my name.... (Betty Crocker)

It can be difficult to eat healthy when you're at a restaurant.  Lifehacker has a great roundup of advice and tips that go beyond common sense to help you eat smart when you're eating out.  (Lifehacker)

I imagine if you're trying to eat healthy, you should avoid most of the suggestions on this list.  (Buzzfeed)

This is straight out of a science fiction/horror story.  (Science20)

Even more horrifying, the image at the end of this hilarious piece.  (McSweeney's)

I had no idea Mia Michaels (choreographer extraordinaire whom you might know from "So You Think You Can Dance") worked on the upcoming "Rock of Ages"!  Or that she got so... close... to Tom Cruise.  (Vulture)

If you're a bookworm like myself, you're always looking for suggestions on what to read next.  Here's a handy flowchart to help you find the perfect summer read.  (Neatorama)

General Mills, you've earned my business.  (General Mills)

Another day closer to Father's Day, another list of gift ideas.  (Time)

In honor of Father's Day, here's a touching story about how one father continued to communicate with his family even after his words were gone.  (Salon)

*sniff* It suddenly got a little dusty in here, didn't it?  How about something a little lighter to end on?  I do love a good photobomb collection, especially when there are celebrities involved.  (The Chive)

This first video might be a little NSFW (unless you work in a strip club, in which case it's nothing new.)  I couldn't be any more excited for this movie to hit the theaters!

And now, the latest from Passion Pit - "Take a Walk."  Time to get the weekend started!
