So, I was totally “fangirling” when I saw that Jo Koy retweeted me.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Meet Ramen Noodle, a teacup poodle puppy who’s managed to thrive despite losing his front legs, and who is the subject of a new photo series by famed animal photographer Carli Davidson, known for past series Shake, Fetch, and Pets With Disabilities.
He was probably a mill puppy, inbred to achieve his tiny size. When he was 8 months old, his first owner brought him to the vet, with a broken arm. Unfortunately, the owner did not properly care for his injury, she didn’t come back to get the cast checked until nine weeks later. At that point, to no one’s surprise, the arm was nearly eaten away by gangrene. By then, Ramen Noodle was listless and refused food. It was a wonder he survived.
Jaime Salata Van Tassel, his clinic caretaker, ended up adopting him. But Ramen Noodle’s struggles weren’t over.
A second injury cost Ramen his other front leg; this time he jumped of a chair and broke the bone. Again, one of the effects of interbreeding dogs for small size is week bone, so his single teacup poodle arm broke so badly it could not be mended. While Jaime was devastated, Ramen surprised everyone and bounced back.
“Ramen gets around the house on his hind legs,” Jaime says. “I’ve watched him run at full-speed for toys, and to play with other dogs, he is essentially unrestricted despite his lack of front arms. … it’s like it never happened.”

One of my favorite songs ever and Jessica Sanchez sang it amazingly. I can’t believe she’s only 16. I don’t know if she’s ever fallen in love or whatever, but when she sings I believe every word. She sings with so much emotion. And this is how she sounds with a sore throat?! Gahhh!
I heard this on the radio this morning as I was driving around doing errands. I couldn’t help smiling because I felt that God was speaking to me through this song. After last night, this was something I needed to hear.
Now I won’t deny
The worst you could say about me
But I’m not defined
By mistakes that I’ve made
Because God says of me
I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
I am chosen and holy
And I’m dearly loved
I am new
No Doubt Reunion of the Day: After a 10-year hiatus, Gwen Stefani has reunited with bandmates Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont to record No Doubt’s sixth studio album, due September 25. Even better, the band has launched a series of behind-the-scenes webisodes that kick off with the recording of the track “Push & Shove,” a No Doubt collaboration with producers Major Lazer and Jamaican artist Busy Signal.
The as-yet-untitled album will also include a “party-reggae blast track” called “Steady Down,” and a “ska-pop tune” track called “One More Summer.”

Angelina Jolie One-Up of the Day: Model Anja Rubik stole a page from Angelina Jolie’s playbook Monday night at the2012 Met Gala, where she revealed a sharp piece of hipbone that added drama to an otherwise boring exposed leg.

Why would anyone want to look like this or find this attractive? It’s disturbing that women who look like this are in magazines and on billboards to further encourage young girls (and grown women) to develop eating disorders and to diet and exercise their way to sickness.
Also, that “dress” she’s wearing looks like a f*cking pillowcase that was cut up but probably costs thousands of dollars.
