Friday Night Movie

Have you heard of The Giant Mechanical Man? It's a sweet, independent romantic comedy with Jenna Fischer (from The Office) and Chris Messina (who is super cute on The Mindy Project) who are both a little lost and directionless. Chris Messina's character is one of those robot guys you see in big cities - he paints himself silver and wears stilts. Anyway, it's a cute and funny story, with perhaps the sweetest on-screen kiss I've ever seen.



So, if you're hunkering down for a winter storm with a cartoon name, or just having a night in, I'd highly recommend it! Happy weekend :)

What To Worry About

In a letter written to his 11-year-old daughter, Scottie, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote out a list of what Scottie should worry about, not worry about, and a few things to think about. His list of things to worry about is very short:

Worry about courage
Worry about cleanliness
Worry about efficiency
Worry about horsemanship

Doesn't it give you such a sense of what he valued, just from what he thinks is worthy of worry? It's an interesting perspective to think about what's worthy of one's worry, when I think our tendency (my own, at least) is to worry regardless of whether or not a thing merits worry or not.

On the flip side, the list of what not to worry about is much longer. It includes dolls, boys, popular opinion, mosquitos, flies, and "insects in general." Ha! You can read the full list here.

The Valentine Channel

"Hey Girl, did you know I have my own channel for Valentine's Day?"

This is pretty brilliant: Time Warner Cable is offering an entire channel of Ryan Gosling for Valentine's Day. Throughout February eight of his movies available are On Demand, so you can make sure you get your February fill of the meme-worthy star whether you have a valentine or not. It's definitely cheesy to watch The Notebook on Valentine's Day... right?
