Super Sunday is Over, Here Comes Hangover Monday

MelBivDevoe

How about that major sporting event yesterday, huh?  Both, that one team had such an amazing play!  Ok, fine, I only watched the Super Bowl for the halftime show and the commercials.  I spent most of Sunday lying on the couch and watching a "Bring It On" marathon instead.  Try to contain your jealousy.

The biggest news of the night, according to Twitter, was the power outage that derailed the third quarter of the game.  Here are the best tweets of the night - my faves are from Neil deGrasse Tyson.  (BuzzFeed)

Lenny Kravitz was in New Orleans recently (for the big game, perhaps?) when he heard a choir performing one of his biggest hits.  What he did next definitely made their day.  (Entertainment.ie)

Forget flamingos and gnomes - dinosaurs are the cool new lawn ornaments.  Check out Dug the T-Rex - he even likes to dress up for the holidays.  (HuffPo)

I Have No Idea What's Going On And That's Okay!

I just love the expression on this Jeopardy! contestant's face.  Sometimes, you just gotta admit that you have no frickin' idea what's going on.  

Like with this first story.  What the hell was Dave Mustaine, lead singer of Megadeth, taking when he made this statement?  Whatever it was, I think it's time to quit, Dave.  (AV Club)

Or here.  I have no idea what the story line for this W Magazine photo spread is or if there even IS one, but I think I like it.  Linda Evangelista is working the sh*t out of this fetish wear.  Slightly NSFW.  (TLo)

After seeing this amazing cocktail concoction, I suddenly feel the need to have a space-themed party.  Just look at that photo - it's like an aurora borealis in a glass!  Now THAT is some classy jungle juice!  Take note, fraternities and sororities everywhere.  (Geekologie)

Ah, movie theaters. If you would just guarantee me that the old bitch in front of me won't loudly talk through the flick or that the asshole teenagers won't text or talk through the feature, I would give you my business. So now you have to make your employees work midnight showings for any movie that you think might just sell. This is why I just hit up the drive-in, bitches. (PSFK)

Hi! I trust your hangovers are gone or on the mend and all of the green dye has been cleaned from your teeth and tongue. DELIGHTFUL!

Pretty cool, right? Well, this is going to blow your tiny little mind. I'm still dubious as to these being pencil drawings and not photographs. I'm watching you, Paul Cadden. One picture is NSFW. (The Daily Mail)

These are truly spectacular photographs and exceedingly beautiful. These were shot directly facing the sun and show ice and sky, blue and white. (Kylefoto)

First, I'd Like to Thank God...

Ah, Thanksgiving. Undoubtedly, this is my favorite holiday. I know a lot of people gripe about it, but I happen to love its simplicity, tradition, and the fact that gluttony is not just encouraged, but required (USA! USA!). In between games of football, I'll be hanging out at my parents' house, contemplating how thankful I am to be surrounded by people who genuinely love and care about me, and brimming with generally mushy emotions.

I'll spare you that right now, though, and show some love for 5 things that enrich my life on a daily basis:
