Parks & Rec, Pretty Little Liars and the Fast & Furious films all exist in the same universe
And SCANDAL WTF
Oh jeez, SCANDAL….
….and BATTLESHIP too, apparently. It’s a goddamn conspiracy
Oh god. He’s on REVENGE too. How deep does this rabbit-hole go….
Oh my god. DEXTER.
THE ACTUAL NEWS
I read an interview with this guy (who is a real news anchor), and he said he told his acting agent that he is ONLY interested in parts where he plays a new anchor. This is no coincidence. This is by design.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple,
But one thing you’ve missed:
The concept of “purple”
Didn’t always exist.Some cultures lack names
For a color, you see.
Hence good old Homer
And his “wine-dark sea.”A usage so quaint,
A phrasing so old,
For verses of romance
Is sheer fucking gold.So roses are red.
Violets once were called blue.
I’m hugely pedantic
But what else is new?My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decreeMeant that in Rome,
to wear purpura
was a privilege reservedFor only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century.Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so longIs almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue.While this song makes me merry,
Tyrian purple dyes many a hue
From magenta to berry
And a true purple too.
But fun as it is to watch this poetic race
The answer is staring you right in the face:
Roses are red and violets are blue
Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.IT GOT SO MUCH BETTER.
My reaction, only with coffee.
Hang on, need to send this to my literature prof

television aesthetics: The Office
“What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he’s the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.” -
