– Wow, this quote blew my mind.
From this interesting article. I think I may need to move to Detroit.

WatchParks & Recreation - The Best of Donna
“Did you grow up in the woods? Are you Nell? From the movie Nell?”
I’m so happy this exists. She really didn’t hit her stride (like much of the show) until season 2.
WatchMumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, and Bob Dylan at the 2011 Grammys
This made me so, so happy!
Dr. Zoice
The proper pronunciation of “Seuss” is actually “Zoice” (rhymes with “voice”), being a Bavarian name. However, due to the fact that most Americans pronounced it incorrectly as “Soose”, Geisel later gave in and stopped correcting people, even quipping the mispronunciation was a good thing because it is “advantageous for an author of children’s books to be associated with—Mother Goose.”

I swear, you’re like a one-woman Michigan tourism department - they should pay you! I’d never thought to go to MI until I started following you forever ago and realized how nice it is.
That may be one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever gotten. :) Thanks!
Can't Sleep?
Watch blooper reels of Parks & Recreation and How I Met Your Mother.
Now I definitely can’t sleep.

Arcadia Ales: Michigan Beer
winestateofmind:
Last night I went to one of my favorite bars in Ann Arbor, Ashley’s for an event hosted by Arcadia Ales. Arcadia is based in Battle Creek, Michigan and is a craft brewery specializing in English style ales.

Borders RIP
Someone set up a group on Facebook for all of the current and former employees of Borders. And even though I was laid off from the home office two years ago, I find myself tearing up reading the stories of people I worked with, and even those I never met. I didn’t think it could or would affect me anymore, but it’s going to create a hole in my heart for a long time.
(Affect/effect...

Jesus was not a “biblical Christian”
(via christianthink)
Seems to me the word “biblical” has become doublespeak for a specific world view. I cringe when I hear it wielded like a hammer.

Study shows voter turnout can be increased with... →
