Adam Brody – Age 32 And Still The Best Looking Nerd Ever
I can’t exactly explain why Adam Brody is my dream crush. I mean I could try to explain, but I’m not sure if it would make sense to anyone. Adam Brody as Seth Cohen was a freakin’ dreamboat. He loved Death Cab For Cutie. Hello – Death Cab For Cutie is like the anthem band for any Seattle resident. Seth Cohen was all into his comic books. I knew my X-Men characters. His hobbies included skateboarding, boating, and being stealth. I’m not into any one of those things, but I can learn to appreciate it.
If Adam Brody would reprise his role as Seth Cohen in his own series, I would watch it. It has been five years, but his appeal has not faltered one bit.
The actor was recently featured in this spread for GQ and he looks damn good. Just sayin’…
Happy Mother’s Day!

And for you: a compilation of advice from the best TV moms ever courtesy of Flavorwire.

Embrace Your Inner Nerd
If you know me you know I’m not someone who pretends to have a lot of advice or wisdom to dispense, but in my travels I’ve cultivated one nugget of pseudo-wisdom: one surefire way to help yourself “make it” in the “real world” is something I like to call embracing your inner nerd. And no, I don’t mean buying yourself a pair of coke bottle glasses or quoting obscure books at your friends (trust me, it’s not charming). I’m talking about immersing yourself in something(s) you love that most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about, making yourself knowledgeable, and letting your enjoyment of those things impact your life.
Nerds care about what matters and value people for who they are. It’s a major misconception that you have to be intelligent to be a nerd. Not so. I would probably fail an 8th grade science test, yet I’m as sincere a nerd as they come. Because that’s what counts with nerds—sincerity. It doesn’t matter if we’re interested in the same things; if I can see you’re genuine in what you care about and it’s close to your heart, I respect that. I have a friend who’s obsessed with all things Disney, another who unabashedly loves Sailor Moon, and even a friend who loses her mind over shows like Pretty Little Liars (hint: she runs this blog), and even though those things aren’t my particular cup of tea, those people are important to me because I value people who really, truly care about things. If any of these people, hearing me mock something they love (and despite my nerd-solidarity I tend to do this), said “No, you’re right, it’s dumb,” I would instantly lose some respect for them. I find that generally, people who can’t be sincere about something as simple as their interests will rarely be sincere in their relationships.

I Cannot Lie
or deny that I have caught on to this UK boy band craze. I’ve got a weird little crush on The Wanted, but seriously…did you WATCH that performance on The Voice tonight? If you did, you would be in the same place.
Song of the Day
Something has been weighing heavily in the back of my head recently and it’s not school. It’s not work. It’s not even really directly related to my life, but at the same time it is. It is Justin Timberlake. With all this talk of boy bands from the UK making their break in the United States – I think to myself, that’s great – but hey, we had the original boy bands first. It all started with Jackson 5 and New Kids on the Block. Then, N’Sync and the Backtreet Boys brought it home, but let’s be real here – Justin Timberlake carried N’Sync.
Now I’m not the only one who misses his music. There’s a whole slew of us, but what I’m recognizing is that there just isn’t enough Justin Timberlake in our lives. Every now and then he’ll appear on SNL as Bon Iver (great, but not enough) or on Jimmy Fallon (performing, but for a short set,) but I need more! I need more, Justin.
So you can keep making movies like Friends With Benefits because I like those. You’re a decent actor in a romantic comedy, but don’t do stuff like In Time. You can continue to make appearances on Saturday Night Live or Late Night with JImmy Fallon, but won’t you please record us another album? I am exhausting Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds on Spotify.
Happy Birthday!
The Gossip Girl starlet turns 26 today!

The Return of Suits
I cannot believe it will have been a year since it last premiered. I never thought I would be able to make it.
This Just Happened:
I just watched a high school guy ask a girl to their Prom “live” on Jimmy Fallon.
What did you do today?
Emma Stone, Will You Be My Best Friend?
Molly: Katie, who are your style icons?
Without even really missing a beat, I said Emma Stone. Emma Stone is just one of my favorite style icons, but readers – you all know that the real answer is Alexa Chung, don’t you? That’s what I believed too! Emma, however, has been an icon quickly on the rise too and with so many projects coming up, she has definitely been on my radar. I was going to start this post by writing a “letter” to Emma Stone and explaining to her why I think we should be best friends, but then…I think the videos do a pretty good job of explaining my reasoning.
