Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh (via howillogical)
such a lovely picture. vivien leigh was absolutely gorgeous. gone with the wind has to be one of my favorite movies ever. the way she brings scarlett o’hara to life is perfect to me, especially in the beginning of the movie when she is still a stuck up little southern belle with a superiority complex. i think i inherited my love for this movie from my grandmother. the first time we watched it together, when i was much younger, she told me that when she was a little girl, she sat through three back to back screenings of it, she simply stayed in her seat at the theatre. that’s more or less twelve hours of dedication. if i could, i probably would have done the same thing.
Clever Idea of the Day: Kevin @ The Imaginary Zebra came up with a nifty idea to help reduce road rage: Install “Thanks” and “Sorry” light boxes in his car that can be switched on as necessary (e.g., when unintentionally cutting someone off, when someone lets him cut in front of them, etc.)
If you ask me, this feature should come standard.
Plenty of process shots here.

i think this is one of the best ideas ever.
slapsgiving. this is one of my favorite scenes from how i met your mother. i love it when jason segel sings on the show. technically it is the third slap from slap bet and not the last, i thought there were supposed to be five.

i have to say, i absolutely love autumn, it is by far my favorite season. i know most people would prefer spring or summer, but fall makes me feel most at ease. the beautifully colored leaves, the crisp air, early nightfall, fall clothes and food. i love it all. even when the weather is awful, it’s so cozy to sit inside with a blanket, a warm drink and a great movie or tv show to watch. last year i was in seattle and it looked exactly like this picture. desperately want to go back.

if i counted correctly (it’s late and i’m tired) i read 53 books on the list. i can’t even believe the average is 6. that seems extremely low to me. whenever i’m browsing books, i’m always kind of sad knowing i will never be able to read all the good works that have been written.
Buy This: “Grammar Nerd Corrective Label Pack” by Dylan Meconis (of Bite Me!/Family Man fame).
Yes. It does matter.

and it’s really not that hard either.
this scene creeped me out. i remember pulling this on one of my friends when she walked into a semi dark room and she was almost hysterical. i have it on videotape somewhere. wish i could post it.
