It's Hump Day, Time to Shake Your Rump!

Good morning!  Had your morning coffee yet?  It wasn't civet coffee, was it?  If you've not heard of civet coffee, it's very expensive, somewhat rare, supposedly delicious, and, uh, made from cat excrement.  No thanks.  (NPR)

Hey you!  Do you like dancing, video games, and winning things?  Then click here!  (Crushable)

Last week, a man posted a super sarcastic review on the Facebook page of a maxi pad company.  Now, the company, Bodyform, responds with a snarky video that's an excellent example of how to capitalize on a viral moment. (Mashable)

I love the idea behind this article, "If TV Shows Were Relationships."  Like, The Vampire Diaries would be that crazy roller coaster ride of a relationship where you're happy, then you're at each other's throats, then you're crying and making up - all in the span of about five minutes.  (College Humor)

Come Down and Waste Away With Me

Good morning!  Feeling a little like you're wasting you life away?  Time for a reinvention!  Just follow the lead of these celebrities who revamped their lives using social media.  Oh, Takei, you are a national treasure.  (Mashable)

It's really wonderful to see the hip-hop community embracing the gay community.  First, Frank Ocean came out and was met with love and support.  Now, in his latest video, rapper Murs fights homophobia with a same-sex kiss.  (Gawker)

Also wonderful: this slideshow of Olympic athletes and their pets.  It's almost too much cuteness for one link!  (People)

"How I Met Your Mother" might be renewed for a ninth season.  Ugh.  Look, it's a great show, but it's time to wrap things up.  I think they've dragged out the central mystery long enough now!  (Uproxx)

(The Day Before) Friday, Friday...

Park

Nothing like a reference to a weird internet joke from a year ago to get the party started. Woooooot!

Well let's show, um, me from a sentence ago and get that party started anyways.  Hopefully your parties mostly have to do with weird grab bags of internet stuff.  They do? Excellent!

Oscars, Cosplay, Pepsi, and MAGIC!

Kolby and Pinky

Happy Monday, dearies.  I hope you're enjoying your Oscars hangover.  I wonder how many Academy Awards-related links I can jam in today.  Let's see!

To start us off, here's E!'s recap of the night's winners, losers and unexpected moments.  (E! Online)

I'm positively tickled by Eric Wilson's cranky take on last night's red carpet fashion, and especially by his opinion of Rooney Mara, whose entire look generally bewilders me.  (The New York Times)

How did you meet your significant other?  One Redditor (in the comments) has a story that might make your day.  (Reddit)

We all know it's important to apologize when we've done something wrong, but how well does "I'm sorry: really work?  (Live Science)

Just when I think I've given too much consideration to the many MANY flaws in the Star Wars Saga, I read an ingenius post like this, and I realize I haven't given it much consideration after all.  Score!  (Absolutely No Machete Juggling)

Happy Friday the 13th! Why do people think that a day numbered a certain way is bad luck? Even before Vorhees was on the scene, thirteen was an unlucky number and Friday the 13th? Ooooh, boy. (How Stuff Works)

Did you know that there is an actual name for those that fear Friday the 13th? They are friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskevidekatriaphobia. Me? I fear April Fool's Day, especially since I witnessed a small plane crash in a field by the parking lot is was in, waiting for a friend for lunch. (Fark)

I had a meltdown yesterday about several ventures I am currently trying to get off the ground. Luckily, my ladies were there to pick me up, as always. I'm sure that the women and men on this list of world-changing tech founders felt that way at least once. (Entrepreneur)
