4:45 to 5:15 is what is known at the office as "crazy hour"

B: Hey, hey, Emily, hey. Emily, hey. Know what we haven't done in a while?

C: DUET DUET DUET.

Z: GENDER SWAP DUET.

E: I heard you singing Summer Lovin over there an hour ago Brian, I am in no way singing Grease with you.

C: DUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEET.

B: You know you want to! I'll let you be Danny.

E: Of course I'd be Danny, that's the point of gender swap duets. But no, I hate Grease.

B: No, you love it.

E: ...I will sing literally any other musical with you.

B: Come on, come on, you start.

E: ...Anything you can do, I can do better!

B: No no no, repeat after me...summer lovin had me a blast...ok now you.

E: You wait, little girl, on an empty stage. For fate to turn the light on.

B: Summer lovin, happened so fast!

E: What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

B: Met a boy, cute as can be!

E: Valjean, at last we see each other plain...

B: Summer days, drifting away...

E: What'd you forget?

B: Got a li...DAMN YOU. RENT is my weak spot and you know it!

E: Yup.

3/4 of the way through Light My Candle my boss wanders in, stops, and says:

K: We need a god damn reality show. I'm calling Bravo.

i think there should be a biological setting for ‘i dont want kids why do i need to ovulate/menstruate’ and then your period just ollies out for a while

like ‘ok bro i accept your life choices call me if you want a baby’

Dame Helen Mirren and Olivia Coleman have also been suggested, but reportedly, BBC bosses won’t be casting the first ever female Doctor because it would be too difficult for parents to explain the Time Lord’s sex change to their children.
‘While I think kids will not have a problem with a female Doctor, I think fathers will have a problem with it,’ former Doctor Who boss Russell T. Davies told the Daily Star.
‘They will then imagine they will have to describe sex changes to their children.’

American Gangster star Chiwetel Ejiofor emerges as hot favourite to become the first black Doctor Who

The rest of this article is interesting in who it lists for possible replacements, but this part just made me angry. Like, REALLY? We can’t have a female doctor because parents are worried about having to talk about stuff with their kids? I’m sorry, but I picture the conversation going something like this:

Child: Parental Unit, why is the Doctor a girl?

Parental Unit: Because when the Doctor dies, he doesn’t really die, he regenerates into another person. This time he regenerated into a girl.

Child: Oh, okay. Why isn’t she ginger?

Parental Unit: Maybe next time.

So…we can expect a child to understand the entirety of season 6, but not a Time Lady? *facepalm* (I would be so down with Chiwetel Ejofor, though!)

Uh, this distance is totally crap. We need to make tonic water ice cubes and we need to do it NOW

When we FINALLY share a time zone (at least!) again, tonic water ice cubes will happen. And it will be good.

SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON’T LIKE THIS VERSION OF THE SONG AS MUCH AS THE ALBUM VERSION, BUT ONCE AGAIN MIKA PROVES HE HAS HIS FINGER ON THE PULSE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD BY DOING THIS WITH ARIANA GRANDE. 

LUV Mika’s incredibly 90s-seeming new video, featuring Mika and Ariana Grande as Addams Family BFFs who live in a castle together and go to highschool even though Mika is like 30 years old.

That little hook form Wicked is awesome too.
