Favorite Things Friday: My Most Favorite Song Ever

I know lots of people couldn't possibly pick just one song as their most favorite song, but Bob Mould's "See a Little Light" is mine, and has been for about twenty years now.


The video above is from a performance of the song on the David Letterman Show on March 6, which was just re-released in Workbook 25, reissued to commemorate the album's 25th anniversary, and includes additional songs as well.


So I guess it's actually been my favorite song for about twenty-five years.


Time flies.


Just in case there's any question, this is totally not a sponsored post. It really is my favorite song.

Favorite Things Friday: Free Getty Images

Did you see the news? Many Getty images can now be used for free, just by using the embed code available on the Getty site.

Some think this isn't great for a variety of reasons, including that Getty could swap the image if they wanted to at any time and also because if their site is down your image becomes a broken link.

But for me, it's great news I don't host the image. Because for a while now I have been unable to upload photos to my blog. I have tried a lot of things to try and solve the problem, but no luck.

So Getty, I welcome your embedded images so my posts can have pictures again!

And not just any photos, awesome pictures like this one with both Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Poehler.

Or how about this fabulous one with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chelsea Handler? I don't think I even imagine them hanging out together, whereas I can totally see Julia and Amy being friends.

And look, here's Jessica Seinfeld and Naomi Watts! Who knew all these celebrities were hanging out at the same events.

I don't know about you, but I think the Getty image search may be my new favorite time suck on the Internet. Let's see who I can find with Lena Dunham...

P.S. Just in case you're wondering, not compensated in any way for writing this ode to Getty. Just digging the free photo use.





Favorite Things Friday: Taking Selfies with My Son

New feature! Favorite Things Friday!

First up: taking (admittedly bad) selfies with my son.

Anti-selfie may be the hot trend of 2014, but if taking selfies is wrong, I don't want to be right.
