WatchWhoa. For a while there it looked like my enthusiasm for GHOST THE MUSICAL was waning, but luckily Jimmy Fallon put them on his show and now I’m geeked up all over again.
(I also LOVE how every Broadway actor endures the mispronunciation of his/her name on network television everyday.)

Guys (part 2)
Exes are going to have successes (and failures). I’d hardly call standing-in for Justin Timberlake the pinnacle of an acting career - it’s definitely something - but it’s not like he’s opening a movie at Cannes. Nonetheless, I hope that each of my exes is successful in what he’s set out to do, in part because that ultimately validates a bit of the reason why I was...
Guys
I just found out that my college boyfriend is playing Justin Timberlake’s stand-in in whatever JT’s next movie is for at least this week even though he looks almost nothing like Justin. This means I will be just two degrees of separation from Justin Timberlake (and three from BRITNEY!!!!!). I’m treating this as evidence that I’ve really made something of my life.

– Sasha Frere Jones recap gets in the best dig yet at Chris Brown’s 81 performances at the Grammys. I was hoping that at the end of that performance he was going to jump from the top of the set, Black Swan style, but no luck. (via rookiemag)

People Planning Weddings are THE WORST
Coworker: i need your help on something not work-related. most of the people in my bridal party already know that they'll be in my bridal party, but i want to do something fun to formally ask them to be in it. i was trying to write a short poem for each of them... but that got really hard. any ideas of what i can do? i was thinking maybe create a Prezi for each of them and send them the link
me: hmmmm.....no specific ideas at the moment, but we could brainstorm over dinner
Coworker: yes
me: i'll think about a bit today
Coworker: i was gonna, like, send them a box of fretzels, but they're expensive. i could do an e-card of some sort
me: let's table for a while
Coworker: but i wanna do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit :-P
me: you can wait another 8-10 hours
Coworker: NO. I CANNOT.
me: oh my god
