…Ryan Reynolds. I’m not talking about the real Ryan Reynolds, I’m talking about this dude at work who looks like Ryan Reynolds (but cuter, in my opinion). Why am I so intrigued? Because he drives a freakin Hyundai. What’s up with that? Someone get this boy a Japanese car – a REAL Japanese car.

There's Something About…
…GENUINE BAD DAYS. Yes, I have reserved this category for things that make me happy. And nothing makes me more happy than a geniune bad day. It’s one thing to decide to be a cranky bitch. It’s entirely different to inexplicably be having a bad day that turns you into a cranky bitch.
There's Something About…
…JASON SEGEL. Maybe it’s the How I Met Your Mother marathon followed by the Freaks and Geeks marathon, but Jason Segel is on my mind. He’s so goofy-cute, he’s super-tall (6’4″, I think), he’s fearless, and he plays a good jerk as well as a good nice guy. (He plays a good stoner, too, but, you know, whatever.)
May I take a moment to talk about Freaks and Geeks? This show was absolutely amazing. I watched a couple episodes when it originally aired, and it has bred some great actors (as well as brought attention to the now nearly-legendary Judd Apatow). Now, nearly 8 years later, I have finally watched the entire series. Oh my God. The laughs, the tears, the “oh crap, no way!” moments…the only thing missing was a good friend to watch it with.
It’s sad that it’s no longer on, and people still talk about the injustice of it all. But I would rather have 17 solid episodes than 100 episodes where 70% of it is “god, what story are we gonna rehash now”. Seriously, though, Apatow needs to try his hand at TV again. Augh, Apatow, Whedon, and Thomas need to start a club. Or, a new country. Or – a new network!!! Yes. I’m gonna write someone a letter about that one.
Back to Jason Segel. He is sooo my fake boyfriend of the week. But it’ll never last – he’s way too tall for me! Plus, he dated Linda Cardellini. How does a girl like me compete with that? Oooh…and don’t forget about Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jason and Kristin Bell in the same movie? How does the world not explode from so much awesomeness in one place? Coming to a theater near you…in 2008.
There's Something About…
…BROWNIES. I love brownies. They’re better than chocolate cake. They’re better than chocolate ice cream. They’re better than a chocolate candy bar.
Best Brownie Award goes to: Gale Gand’s Bourbon Brownie. Available (sometimes) at Gale’s Coffee Bar in Wheeling, IL. YUMMMMY!!!!!!!
Worst Brownie Award goes to: any brownie that has gone stale. Of course, under the right circumstances, a stale brownie is still a delectable treat.
