Things.

Okay maybe I’m being a little dramatic but I’m honestly kind of offended at the lack of notes this has? Hugh CLEARLY put a lot of thought and effort into this joke, and you can tell that he’s proud of it he smiles and even chuckles at his joke. Is it so hard for y’all to show appreciation for a good man? He’s trying to be funny is Wolverine himself not good enough for you guys? God

That satisfied dad laugh at the end

that was such a DAD joke

HIS ADORABLE SNICKER AT THE END.

I couldn’t not reblog this

Anybody else got like,, rlly random connections to famous ppl?? Like my older brothers were friends w Jennifer Lawrence when they were like 12 and I just found out I’m friends w the cousin of the girl who voiced honey lemon in big hero six like, idk what I’m supposed to do with either of these tid bits I feel like I was supposed to live my life in ignorance of them

my granda was in the IRA

my dad catered a party for Taylor Swift’s parents and heard her sing when she was like 10 I think

My cousin is dating the older brother of the lead actress in the new Pacific rim movie.

My coworker’s brother is college roommates with Matt Damon’s nephew

My great-grandmother was in a play with Basil Rathbone

My mom sat next to John Wayne on an airplane once and asked him to sign her Bible.

My 8th grade science teacher’s daughter was an actress and did those “Disney 411” bits. Hilary Duff slept over their house one time.

Oh! Just remembered! A substitute biology teacher in 8th grade spent an entire period gushing about his daughter, the actress. She was the brunette, glasses-wearing girl in the 2002 Spider-Man film who told Peter “don’t even think about it” on the bus.

I sang in a church choir with Lady Gaga’s uncle. My mom says he makes really strong pomegranate martinis.

My mom grew up next to Wayne Gretzsky’s wife’s grandmother.

so many, given what my mom does for a living, but i think my favorite truly random one is that i used to be kinda friendly with steve buscemi’s wife because she was good buddies with my boss at the time, and i met him a couple times

my mom got trapped on an elevator in philadelphia with robert redford. 

my dad helped anderson cooper on a project in the early 2000s and helped with an event linda tripp was involved with

my great grandpa was also in the ira and one time my mom had tea with christian bale at his own house without realizing who he was

My high school biology teacher went to school with Tom Hanks

My friends mom had a prosthetic mold of Matt Damon’s hand in the kitchen. Though thats because she worked in the industry, but i got to see matt Damon’s fake hand.

I have lots from working in film for that 2-3 year stint of my life (including: Jonathan Rhys Daives getting into an argument with me about sheep while we were both having a beer, ray liota awkwardly rubbing my shaved head, giving Selma Blair a gift for her baby, having oddly dad-esque conversations with David Hasslehoff) but out of all of these the one that always makes me ??? at myself cause the world is weird is this one time I was working on a fashion shoot at this mansion and it turned out it was Grimes’ mom’s house.

Oh also I have an actress I worked on a show with on my facebook and she randomly likes my posts sometimes and shes like… one of those actresses you have never heard of but has been in 200 things so you have Seen her. Oh also the female members of Mother Mother have worn my clothes, I forgot about that.

My grandpa is half-cousins with Jim Lovell the astronaut.

My aunt was in high school with this one quiet, greasy kid who sat in the back and drew in his notebooks all the time. His name? Tim Burton.

One of my relatives briefly lived in the same floor of an apartment building where the entire Buffalo Sabres team lived way back in the days that the NHL paid so little that the players had to share apartments in a shitty building

My mom’s former partner is really good friends with Gloria Steinem.

A woman on my trivia team claims to be Tom Hiddleston’s cousin but she’s an abomination on this world and we refuse to believe her until she provides some sort of concrete proof, which she has not. The only sort-of vague connection I personally have is that I used to follow a bunch of boys-wearing-girls-pants Livejournal communities back in my high school years, and one of the regular contributors was a guy named Daniel and at one point he started talking about this new band he’d joined called Devil Wears Prada, and like a year later they were plastered all over AP magazine.  It was pretty weird to see him go from mirror-selfies on Livejournal to professional metalcore photoshoots in magazines.

He’s gonna be a mighty king and he’s working on that roar.

This is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen and I’m honestly angered by how absolutely adorable it is.

This was an amazing job and im proud

Holding down the power button to turn a computer off is eerily similar to holding a pillow on top of someone’s face.

A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are valuable. Turn that late assignment in.

This has seriously been getting me through my online classes.  I have adopted the motto “It doesn’t have to be done well, it just has to be done” because I was spending so much time procrastinating and stressing out about not wanting to start an assignment because I wasn’t confident I could do a good job on it...until I learned that it’s better to just turn in something than to get so paranoid about not being excellent that I don’t bother to turn in anything.  (It was also helpful to realize that my standards for myself were extremely high, and when I turn in something that I personally think is shit I usually still end up getting an A because the professor has much lower standards.)

I really try to challenge Canadian stereotypes at every opportunity but today I was walking down Young St. in Toronto and a firetruck honked very loudly and I clutched my chest and said “MY WORD” and as it drove past, a fireman leaned out of the window and apologized to me  so I just don’t know
