Tuesday Night Zodiac Cat – Gemini

Buzzfeed has the full repertoire of Zodiac cats.

May 21 – June 20: Gemini Cats are full of life and energy, and they’re quick to adapt to different situations. They hate being bored and they are always sticking their furry little faces into everyone’s business, which is fine, because it is adorable.

Guns Don’t Kill People, Five-Year-Olds Kill People

Just one of those crazy accidents.

Saturday Night Zodiac Cat – Taurus

Buzzfeed has the full repertoire of Zodiac cats.

April 20 – May 20: Taurus Cats form strong friendships with a few people rather than being the kind of cat who’s, like, all over everyone’s lap regardless of how much they deserve it. If you are a Taurus Cat, you also never give up once you’ve set your mind to something, which is possibly occasionally kind of annoying if you happen to have a persistent meow.

Wednesday Night Zodiac Cat – Aries

March 20 – April 19: Aries Cats are pounce-first-and-ask-questions-later type of cats. If you are born under this star sign, you are likely to figure out how to get into the cream before any of the other cats. As an Aries Cat, you are always the first to the top of the cat tree.

Thursday Night Video – Al Green, “Love and Happiness”

Live on Soul Train. Happy V-Day, everyone.

Monday Night Video – The Spinners, “Rubberband Man”

My brother Andrew underwent ACL surgery a few years ago and recently gave one of our nephews the old rubber bands he used for rehabbing his knee. Our nephews and niece are great at making use of found objects.

Andrew says that the rubber bands remind him of the props used by The Spinners in their video for “Rubberband Man.” The odd, odd exercises start around the 3 minute mark.

Sunday Night Video – Elmo vs. the Blizzard of 2013

My family back East appears to have survived the Blizzard of 2013 well so far. What were they up against? 0dysseus pointed me to a semi-disturbing time lapse video of Elmo being put to use in order to demonstrate the depth of the snowfall.

The worst ever Rankin/Bass special…

Wednesday Night Video – Dick Durbin vs. Wayne LaPierre

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, is an ideologue. Still, it’s refreshing to watch Illinois Senator Durbin of call out LaPierre, and point out that the point of background checks is precisely to reduce the purchase of guns by those who can’t pass background checks.

I get very frustrated with the argument that we shouldn’t attempt to reduce the number of criminals with guns because there will still be criminals with guns. There is always going to be crime — are we not supposed to try and reduce it?

Sunday Night Zodiac Cat – Aquarius

Buzzfeed has the full repertoire of Zodiac cats.

January 20 – February 18: Aquarius Cats are visionaries. They are unconventional and they go their own way. Sure, they will use the litter box every now and then, but they’d prefer to surprise you.

Friday Night Video – Claire Danes Crying

One of the reasons I haven’t been posting lately is because I’ve been in rehearsal. Today, one of the actors mentioned this compilation of Claire Danes crying. Her chin quiver is particularly impressive. And it reminds me that I should really check out Homeland once I get more free time.
