Weekly sundown rundown

Weekly news and feature roundup time!

sundown rundown

–

… And speaking of time… Time published a story about the science behind making the perfect cup of coffee. I might look into buying a pourover apparatus to add to my coffee snobbery collection.

Ship your enemies glitter. A friend posted a link to this site on Facebook and I fell in love. Although, I’m not too sure I’d be upset about receiving a glitterbomb in the mail. Warning: profanity. 

Wet Hot American Summer is doing a reunion series for Netflix! The cast was announced and it is insane. In a good way.

Lost never actually cared about you. The writer admitted that the show fully intended on leaving its audience mystified and stuck with unanswered questions at the end of the show’s run. Jerks. I’m still halfway through the series and now I’m not sure if I should even bother continuing with it.

Maroon 5 released its new video for Sugar. The band crashed a bunch of weddings. I think I’m the only person that would be upset if Maroon 5 crashed my wedding but I’m really detail-oriented and having something unexpected happen during my wedding would probably cause me some serious anxiety!

Fall Out Boy is performing during the NHL All-Star Weekend! If there’s one thing I love more than hockey or indie 2000’s emo bands, it’s hockey combined with indie 2000’s emo bands.

Wet Seal has filed for bankruptcy. This news comes after similar announcements, like the closures of Deb, Delia’s and C. Wonder. I bought my 2010 New Year’s Eve dress from Wet Seal, but didn’t frequent the store often. Brick-and-mortar closures indicate a higher affinity for online shopping, which, as someone who appreciates fabric cut and fit, is disappointing.

H&M and Coachella are offering a clothing line. I take back my statement about hockey and Fall Out Boy being my two favorite things. Is there a way to somehow combine hockey with Fall Out Boy, H&M and music festivals? Someone please get on this and get back to me.

Whoa, NASA put together a stunningly large photo of the Andromeda Galaxy and it was made into a YouTube video. Anyone else feeling incredibly small and insignificant right now? There’s no possible way there isn’t more life out there.

And me this week? I…

  • Finally got around to reviewing my Dagne Dover.
  • Made it to the bottom of the coffee mug Elise got me for Christmas… and found a Grim!
  • Made this delicious enchilada quinoa bake in my slow cooker.

How was your week?

    I would be SO PISSED if Maroon 5 crashed my wedding. Also, so excited for the All-Star game tomorrow! Even more so now that Crosby won’t be playing!

      Right? I think I would be OK if they crashed a friend’s wedding, but back away from my obsessive planning, Adam Levine. And yes, hooray for All-Star weekend!
