It’s cold, sucky, and generally unpleasant. Here are things that are the antithesis of all that nonsense.

1. Y: The Last Man.

A plague kills off every man on the planet, except for one schwing-worthy Yorick Brown. This may appeal to every comic-reading, feminist-identifying, or generally rad girl you know. Or anyone else, really. It’s also in TPB volumes now, so you don’t have to worry about paper-cuts, or ruining your bookshelf alignment, or whatever excuse you weirdos have for not buying single-issue comics.

2. Amanda Blank, I Love You (2009)

Especially this track:

3. Asa’s 8:36 photo project.

He’s one of the raddest people I barely know. No, seriously, when I have had the chance to watch him in action it’s pretty amazing how he can hold a crowd with his wit; plus he seems really genuine and nice. AND he is a great photographer. Flattery aside, his photo project feeds my insatiable curiosity about what people do when I’m not around. Plus, he lives in my neighborhood, which means I get to point at a photo and yell “dude, I was JUST there” and not feel alone.

4. MOTHEREFFIN’ NACHOS.

No words necessary. Just bask in the crunchy, salty, spicy goodness contained within a plate of this badassness.

5.  Alie and Georgia booze videos

Yeah, I don’t drink anymore, but Georgia is one of my favorite bloggers. She’s wicked smart, and pretty too. Sales pitch aside, their video project seems to be on the verge of blowing up. Go watch it now and say you knew about them before they got all kinds of press.
