This Week in Happy News: Sniff, Sniff, Hooray!

This kid is awesome and his enthusiasm for his candle collection is really endearing. Rainy day? Bamboo does sound like it'd be the perfect scent-track! He's a connoisseur of candles like Ralphie's Old Man from A Christmas Story is a connoisseur of turkey, so of course he's got good taste in scents. Cupcake, lavender, and this conservatory bamboo? Smells good to me!

Heather Morris is my favorite

From an interview with Esquire:

I can't stand it when someone comes up behind a girl and grabs her hips and tries to grind with her. It's offensive. Why would you do that to me?

Thank you, Heather Morris! If I didn't love you before, I love you now. And I love that you said this to Esquire.

And also this:

It's already embarrassing being in a club.

Duh.

Go here to read the rest of the interview and to see a video of her dancing skills.

Alec Baldwin Wearing an Apron

I did a google image search for "Alec Baldwin wearing an apron" and this is what came up. Perfect!

Yesterday Alec Baldwin sent the internet into a tizzy after he proclaimed that 30 Rock would end after next season. Even though he retracted his statements about the end of 30 Rock, Alec has been saying he's going to quit acting in 2012 since 2009. While I wish he and 30 Rock could go on forever, all good things must come to an end. And preferably they should end while on top, but not too soon a la Arrested Development or Veronica Mars. But all this got me wondering: how will we get our Alec Baldwin fix if he does finally quit?

Alec once famously stated (in my mind at least, as I can't find proof of this in the five minutes of googling I did) that when he quit acting he might take up scrap booking as a hobby. I mean, if he wanted to then start his own show that involves scrap booking and guests, like a male Martha Stewart, I'd probably definitely watch it. For one thing, He's got lots of hosting experience. (Examples: the 15 times he hosted SNL.) For another, he's good on semi-unscripted shows as evidenced by his delightful vegetable shopping bit for Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten. And he has a lovely, if raspy/whisper-y voice. Total proof that he could carry his own show.

Maybe All Booked Up with Alec (working title, obviously) could be of Alec actually making one of his scrap books, with the scrap book sitting on an easel so he could glue in the pictures and mementos and tell stories about them. Misty AWESOME colored memories, no doubt. It'd kinda be like Bob Ross painting happy little trees, but with happy little stickers and paper punches. Or maybe that's how the show would start, and then progress into a segment where he makes arts and crafts based off his career with his guests. Crocheted Kabletown beverage coozies with Tina Fey. Beetlejuice cross stitch with Geena Davis. "It's Complicated" pot brownies with Meryl Streep. You know, just regular crafts and stuff.

Who knows what will really happen next year. (Aliens? Robot dinosaurs? John Cusack saving us all? More bad 2012 jokes?) But if Alec does quit acting at least we'll always have Netflix. Unless Netflix quits the internet. Cross your fingers that doesn't happen!
