This is the cornerstone of my ten year marriage. I’m so glad I found my soulmate so I can ignore him in close proximity for the rest of my life.

Is a freaky BBC docuseries that follows three British dorks who recreate 16th century life on a farm. I dare you not to fall in love with witchy Ruth and all the nasty Tudor food she goes on about.

Exceptional novel. Hans Castorp is probably my favorite literary character of all time. Read this and you too will want a camel hair throw and to smoke only Maria Mancini cigars.

My friends Dave & Gabe recently showed me this Vice documentary on the making of Vanessa Carlton’s A Thousand Miles and it is incredible. Do yourself a favor and at least watch Ron Fair, the producer’s bit at 12:07. CHORUS 3 WE GOTTA PAY IT OFF!!!

Honestly it was hard to pick between the “you’ll be here in my heart!!!” ad-lib at 3:16 and the epic key change at 2:54, but either way both of these things make for Disney’s greatest movie theme of all time. In the words of Ron Fair, CHORUS 3 WE GOTTA PAY IT OFF!!!
