An e-mail I received today:
Okay, so let me set a scene for you:
It’s 2:30 am and I’m up because I have a terrible cold and am sneezing/coughing/blowing my nose all over the place. I turn on the tv and there’s a preview for a tv show on Animal Planet called Must Love Cats.
It’s a show about a guy, who is straight, sort of cute and I think is NOT a virgin, who drives around the country and finds out interesting things about cats. In my delirious glee, I watch both episodes on On Demand.
The host guy will occasionally sing songs on his acoustic guitar about cats, but if you can move past that then you might like it.Editor’s note: You KNOW I’m going to DVR this shit when I get home tonight.

Harriet Poppleton’s face is kind of creepy, but I WANT HER. (Also, her name!!!)

China Has Hipsters, Too - Monica Tan - The Atlantic
Doesn’t every country? I love this guy’s definition (in bold). Cats, of course.
“In Chinese, they are the wenyi qingnian, literally meaning “cultured youth.” It’s China’s closest equivalent to the alternately beloved and reviled English word, “hipster.”
What does a typical “cultured youth” look like? Baidu Baike, China’s version of Wikipedia, contains an entry on the term that quotes writer and musician Guo Xiaohan: “I’m a very typical wenyi qingnian. I like poetry, novels, indie music, European cinema, taking pictures, writing blogs, cats, gardening, quilting, making dessert and designing environmentally friendly bags.”
They are twee, nostalgia-driven, and hipster-ish, with a dash of poet. Spiritual at heart, yet living in a very secular, money-driven modern China, wenqing are marked as highly individualistic, romantic, cultural connoisseurs.”
