I have so much laundry to do, it's a little bit terrifying. It's also an astonishingly gorgeous day outside, though that's apparently because we're going to have high-octane thunderstorms tonight. I still would rather lounge around and be outside than be responsible and clean my apartment for the first time in, er, about a month.

Cleaning out tabs still counts as cleaning, though. At the very least, my browsers are happier. I'll have a metric ton of Reader items to go through tomorrow, so this is prep for a bigger post, I think.

The Seven Deadly Sins as Disney princesses. Did we mention these are done in the style of Mucha? Ohmygosh.

Survivor: Republican Governors Edition. As a born-and-bred Ohioan, I fully support this.

I have no words for this. It's utterly awful and tragic - not in a "people dying" way, but to lose all those costumes is so sad, considering how ravishing they are.

America's 'Sweethearts': An All-Girl Band That Broke Racial Boundaries - "In the 1940s, the International Sweethearts of Rhythm fought a two-front war: gender on one side, Jim Crow on the other." Hell yeah!

Jesse Heiman: the most ubiquitous actor in Hollywood? - Also amazing. In a different way. But I definitely grinned.

Focus Booster - A free app that gives you a time limit within which to accomplish things. Okay, it's a countdown clock, but some people find it useful!

Use Your Words: What we really say when we protest (parody/satire).

Fringe vid: "Mad World" by beccatoria - Pretty good stuff. Spoilers up through 3.17.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs: Seeing God in tsunamis and everyday events - Not an anti-religious article, but rather an examination of why humans tend to seek out patterns or intent where there is none.

In contrast, an article about working to decipher America's ancient cave art.
