Day of rest roundup

HAPPY MOTHERFUCKING NEW YEAR BITCHES.

It's 2012, so you know what that means. We've got just under 11 months to live. I expect I'll see you all at the end-of-the-world party Lulu and I will be hosting on December 21st 2012. Shhh, she doesn't know about it yet.

For those of you who don't take part in modern-world time constructs, sorry. I'll stop talking about the new year now!

Also we never talked about Christmas. This is what I got for you all. Sorry, it's not wrapped. And it's late. But it's beautiful.

You're welcome.

You're even more welcome.

PEEKTURES!

I don't know about you, but this is my hope for snowmen.

This is probably the best story ever. Even if it's false.

This is the truth about me. Sorry, y'all.

WE ALL KNOW THIS IS TRUE.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm... puregenius.

Nerdy Girl Style Icons Vol.3: Daria

Good news, nobody!

Nerd Girl Style Icon-ing is back! And without further ado, and much sarcasm, I present to you...

DARIA
"Don't worry, she's clearly overestimated my conscious. By assuming I have one at all."

Daria hails from the eponymous show which aired in the 1990s on MTV. She was originally created as a character on "Beavis and Butt-head", to sort of combat the boyish, potty humor with her dry sarcasm, but was so popular that she was given her own show. The show centers around Daria's highschool life, her best friend Jane, her crush on THE ABSOLUTELY DREAMY Trent, and surviving amongst her crazy yet endearing family.

Woo boy, doesn't that sound like a sitcom set up?

This show wasn't the only show in the nineties to embrace some female teenage angst; take for example Freaks and Geeks and My So-Called Life. The outcast genre disappeared for a little while, in the era of Mischa Barton (what was that show again?) and the advent of (bum bum bum) Reality TV, but has recently re-appeared on the big screen (more on that later). Still, since Daria's finale (the 90 minute "Is It Fall Yet?" back in the day), no show has filled the gap that this show left in it's wake.
