Things That Made My Head Spin

Hello my friends. I think it's time for a new segment, so I bring to you the "Things That Made My Head Spin", which pretty much sums up the interesting news of the prior week. Here it goes!

1. The Unjust Benching of Community
These are trying times for fans.  I have to say that the war has begun.  I did my part and sent 2 letters to the chairman of NBC.  If you're a fan and you're reading this, I urge you to do the same.

2.The Battle of the Sexiest
It was the shot heard across the world this week when People Magazine chose the recipient of their annual Sexiest Man Alive and it wasn't Ryan Gosling.  Fans were outraged, and it even led to the funniest protest in human history.

3. The Stop Online Piracy Act
Does congress realize how much power hackers have?  I am obviously hoping that this bill does not get passed for many reasons.  My main reason: youtube!

Ryan Gosling is the Sexiest Man Alive

What, did you think I was going to take the word from People Magazine.  In all of the years of their "Sexiest Man Alive" I have never had a serious complaint.  But this year, they neglected the obvious.  For some it might be the Year of the Rabbit, but for others it is obviously the Year of Ryan Gosling!  No offense to Bradley Cooper, sure he's good looking, but he is not the Sexiest Man Alive; not this year at least.

A picture says a thousand words, that's all I got to say. Ryan is most definitely the Cutie Patootie of the Year in my opinion.

Spooks and Beats: Dead Man's Bones

I believe I've told you about Ryan Gosling's little band before, and I shall tell you again in more detail.  Why?  Because their music is geared for my favorite month! The music is dark but very catchy all the same.  The music get's chillier with the help of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir, and it absolutely works!  The kids add more pizzazz as if the music need anymore, what with Gosling's deep voice and all.  Believe me if you think it will be the same ol',  same ol' that actors turned musicians turn out, it is not! It's way too quirky too be like any of that. The following are a list of songs that are most befitting of the holiday:


In the Room Where You Sleep The lyrics can be a bit eerie but it's oh so catchy, it's also the first single they released and when I first discovered them.  And I do believe he is in the room where I sleep.

My Body's a Zombie for You Really? The title didn't convince you of it's Halloween capabilities? Also, this is perhaps my favorite song featuring the choir.

Lose Your Soul "I get up in the morning, put my dreams away..."  That just seems awful, sad, and chilling.  Not the most obvious of the bunch, but I think the darker lyrics put them in my list.

Werewolf Heart Once again, really?  Trust me, it's better than you think it would be with that name.

Buried in Water It's slow, but it packs a mean punch.

On a side note, my favorite song from the band is Pa Pa Power, but I sort of didn't know if it was the best representation of their eeriness.

Cutie Patootie of the Week

So it seems to have been a great year for Ryan Gosling! We little squirrels can't seem to get enough of him, and I have been crushing on him for a total of eleven years, yeah that's fours years prior to the Notebook for all you late comers. I'm sure someone has been crushing on him since his Mouseketeer days but I was only 2 when his stint ended so I call that dedication. How can anyone be crushed on for so long? Well we little squirrels present you with a short list.

1) He has mastered the craft of acting. He held his own against Anthony Hopkins in Fracture, played a self-destructive teacher in Half Nelson, an offbeat man in love with a sex doll in Lars and the Real Girl, and an astounding father in a broken marriage in Blue Valentine with such raw effort. The man is a natural!

2)This: http://youtu.be/dDAJ-QX7qns Just ignore the inaccurate subtitles.

3)The man has got some spectacular facial expressions, specifically this blinking eye thing. I couldn't find any good pictures of it, instead I invite you to Google him as often as you want or view Lars and the Real Girl, where he constantly does it.

Update:Searching for another photo, I finally found a decent one! If this is unattractive to you then you're just evil.

4)He's got a nice voice. Ryan sings and plays for Dead Man's Bones and you might remember the memorable ukelele scene from Blue Valentine.

5)He's probably the best dressed actor in Hollywood, wearing experimental variations of the tux and embracing colorful socks. 6)He loves candy. Cue an interview he did with Esquire.
"Hi-chews! Look at these! It's the candy that never quits on you. This candy is always worth the price. There used to be a candy called Bonkers, which I believe to be the greatest candy of all time."

7)He frequents the 7-11! This is my store! I love it, we drink the same iced coffee!
8)He is quite fond of his best friend.
9)Because he gets better with age.

10)Couldn't you just drown in his blue eyes?!

11)Alright, the man is pretty darn fit. You've all seen the previews to Crazy, Stupid, Love so I won't post any photos because from what I hear that stuff embarrasses him.

12)He stops fights. He may regret it now, but we honor his bravery!
