One of my favorite sites, Warming Glow, is equally angry at the Emmy release of nominations. Hooray Leslie Knope was nominated…but not Best Comedy nor a Supporting Actor for Ron Swanson? Yes Mr. Swanson, We do hate everything. Hit the link for 10 gifs of our favorite Parks and Recreations characters reacting negatively. Fall TV needs to come back for more Parks and Rec.

I stumbled upon this awesome website for Pawnee, Indiana. It’s not as awesome as it could’ve been, where it’d include a .gov representing it’s ‘legitness’, but regardless, it’s still pretty good. I’d imagine being an intern at NBC and being told to build a separate website for Parks and Recreation. The website itself is fairly detailed, having full list of the employees at the department and more. There’s even Ron Swanson bit. Now I hardly doubt Nick Offerman wrote that article, but it’s still neat someone impersonating him. They even included an email address….now we’ll have to see if they actually respond.
Another day, I’ll definitely talk about the Knope Campaign website and it’s equal awesomeness….PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS TO COME BACK NOW!
Actors with Incredible Years of Acting

Sometimes you can’t help but notice and say, “Hey I’ve seen that guy in at least 3 other movies this year”. I like to think for most actors that doing one year should be more than enough to pay off that year’s bills and still live in a luxurious sense. But then I see some actors that do 2 or 3 movies in one year, I think to myself: not only are you loaded, but you must be absolutely exhausted. How are they able to deliver such powerful performances when they’re doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling characters in one period of time. Forget Daniel Day-Lewis [who takes years for him to get into character], get these peoples Oscars or some sort of award quickly, because they definitely deserve it for their versatility. So below is a list of actors who did multiple movies in the same year and were able to deliver awesome performances in them. Be sure to remind me of the many that I missed in the comments section below!
My Favorite Town in the World: Pawnee

It’s been a couple of weeks since NBC’s Parks and Recreation has wrapped up it’s 4th season. As I’ve stated before, I thought it was probably the most heartfelt comedy that aired this past season. There are many reasons why this show is amazing. The writing for this show is absolute gold. And with the amazing cast of characters that deliver the script are equally amazing. However, I’d like to bring your attention to something that’s often used as a joke, but doesn’t necessarily get the spotlight it deserves: the town of Pawnee. Within it’s writing, the creators of the show have created a colorful and amazing town. The town Pawnee itself has had an amazing history of racism towards Indians, hilariously self-centered news broadcasters and talk show hosts, an odd picture gallery depicting gruesome events in history in their city hall, a hilarious series of ‘Welcome Signs’, and more. In this post, I’ll look back on all the things that makes Pawnee awesome besides the lovable people at the Parks and Recreation department.

There’s something about the nice attire, sincerely superficial attitude, and general ass kissing aura that makes the award show photobomb much better than a regular celebrity photobomb. Here’s a gallery of some hilarious photobombs during some of the most inopportune times. It almost makes them seem human…
