This Month Is So Many Things

Does anyone else have 99% of their Christmas shopping done? Just me? Does Kwanzaa have shopping? I can't remember. What? Inappropriate? Let's just move on.

Boobs. How much do you really know about them? It's not like they come with an owner's manual. UNTIL NOW! (Rookie)

You may already know that it is Movember and that is why Boba Fett here has that magnificent bastard of a mustache. Did you also know that it is NaNoWriMo? That's National Novel Writing Month. Enjoy this tale of a shitty Dan Brown ripoff and feel better about whatever you choose to write. (The Awl)

What's better than growing a bitchin' 'stache while attempting to write a novel this month? Red Lentil and Sriracha Soup. Or so I would guess. (The Hairpin)

Boop! Here Comes Monday Again

Well, this is odd, but kinda neat, too, if you're a fan of "Parks and Recreation."  Nick Offerman is putting his famous mustache up for auction for charity.  That's right, you can own Ron Swanson's actual mustache!  (Vulture)

On Friday, I shared with you a video of Lauren Conrad hacking apart some books to make a stylish box.  The books she destroyed were from the popular "Series of Unfortunate Events" line by Lemony Snicket.  Here, Mr. Snicket himself responds to Conrad's horrific actions.  Well played, sir.  Well played.  (Slate)

Censorship Fish would also not approve of this first link. This is one skeevy way to pick up chicks, but if, oh, Ryan Gosling tried this approach on me? It would WORK. (Celebitchy)

Didja catch the "How I Met Your Mother" season finale this week?  Are you left with lots of burning questions, like, for example, "Whaaaaat??" Perhaps this interview with co-creator Craig Thomas can ease your mind. (Vulture)

Speaking of mothers, I'm not 100% certain I want to be one someday.  (Awkward segue achieved!)  The author of this think piece has long known she'll never be one, and she hopes you'll respect her decision.  (CNN)
