| Lost In Translation: Rom-Coms and Self-Loathing Posted: 22 Oct 2010 11:12 AM PDT
Til now, I have been an ardent follower of living in the moment, being spontaneous. But shit's been rough recently. Like tonight. For tonight, I am pathetic. A coward. Whimpering in the corner of my bedroom at a half past midnight, with Letters to Juliet playing on a flat screen too big for my mess of an efficiency, my ears straining to hear what they're saying on the tube 'cause I have the volume down at a barely audible level. I don't want my hip neighbors, grad students at the environmental school, with their two-week beards and skinny corduroy jeans having even an inkling as to what I am doing. After dropping off my date, without as much as a kiss goodbye (we did, however, share a rather unpleasantly friendly hug), I went to my school's library and rented the first romantic comedy that I saw on the new release shelf. Now, I am quite comfortable with my masculinity, but found myself downright embarrassed. So much so that I picked up my phone to the phantom ring of my "girlfriend" and promptly told her that, of course, I wouldn't mind picking up a chick flick for us to watch before falling asleep. Yup, this is what it all came down to. Now, this wasn't the way I had envisioned my night a few hours ago when I set out into a gorgeous fall evening. I'm something of a romantic and autumn tends to knock on that bone pretty hard. I had, optimistically, hoped to be in a sensuous embrace with this breathtakingly beautiful girl I have been seeing for the past couple of weeks. But, alas, here I am, alone, spiraling down into a devastating hole of unrequited love. And I feel that this tumbling is more voluntary than anything else. She has offered me these brief, passing moments in which if I had any strong sense of timing, I would have leaned in and we may have, dare I dream, kissed. But instead I would avert my gaze to the worn down leather of my gear shift or the near empty reading of my gas gauge, the light flashing an SOS to the crash control in my subconscious, yelling at it to put the car into first and drive me away from this god awful situation.

And for a good measure, a clip from last night’s Community: Post from: Crushable Video: David Crowder Band's Lite-Brite Vid for 'SMS (Shine)' |

| A 'Bones' Spinoff And 5 Other Shows Starring the Same Stunted Characters Posted: 22 Oct 2010 10:01 AM PDT
1. Law and Order: Criminal Intent – Different from the rest of Dick Wolf’s oeuvre only in the sense that you never see the courtroom scenes, CI focused it’s first 5 seasons on Vincent D’Onofrio’s troubled Columbo-esque character, Robert Goren. The possible son of a serial killer (Roy Schneider) and a schizophrenic mother, Detective Goren worked the Major Case unit like it was his personal jigsaw puzzle, and had the uncanny ability to get into the minds of, and even sympathize with, the creepiest killers that L&O ever produced. So naturally, his ability to interact with “normal” people takes sort of hit there. 2. House – Dr. Gregory House…what’s to say about him? Except that he’s exactly like Sherlock Holmes, except instead of sniffing cocaine he popped Vicodin up until last season. He even had a trusty sidekick named 3. Lie to Me – Dr. Cal Lightman (hmm…noticing a trend here!) is a brilliant psychologist and sociologist who can read “micro-expressions” and tell immediately if you are lying to him. So naturally, his ability to interact with “normal” people takes a hit here. 4. Bones – Temperance “Bones” Brennan is a world-famous anthropologist who also solves mysteries. She had a horrible home life growing up, faked her own death a lot, and doesn’t understand pop-culture references. See above. 5. The X-Files – Agent Mulder and Scully were actually a rare duo: both acted incredibly autistic and were rarely fun to be around, despite the presence of aliens and what not. Mulder had a photographic memory, Scully had red hair. With all the alien abductions and stuff, their ability to act with normal people never really entered into the equation in the first place.

| Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Barbie Reenactment: These Hills Are (Sort Of) Alive Posted: 22 Oct 2010 09:59 AM PDT This week on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the ladies taught us important lessons about Easter, sticking by your family, and what it’s like for the poors who don’t have the luxuries that they do. Let Crushable’s Barbie Repertory Theatre recreate some of the best moments from last night’s episode for you!
It’s Hard To Plan A Dinner Party With Envy Alone Kyle Richards wants to have her year Easter dinner and invite all her family to her mother’s vacation home in Palms Springs. Since her oldest sister Kathy Hilton conveniently forgot to RSVP, Kyle is stuck with Kim Richards, the sad sister. She decides to invite some other guests for dinner, and this incites her first kitchen related panic attack.
Chocolate + Shoes = A Diabetic Shopaholic’s Dream Lisa Vanderpump, the special guest at Richards Family Easter 2010, visits her favorite chocolatier to order a giant chocolate bunny for the dinner. In the middle of her sugar rush, Lisa is presented with life-sized, hot-pink Christian Louboutin shoes made entirely of chocolate. "I needed a gift for a friend," Lisa explains, "so I wanted to get the…quintessential." Everyone agrees that those are the quintessential pair of chocolate shoes.

| Posted: 22 Oct 2010 09:01 AM PDT Chris Rock is heading to Broadway – The Motherfucker With the Hat. That’s the name of the play that will bring Chris to the stages of New York. It had better feature one darn good hat. (Vulture) Post from: Crushable |
Gary Shteyngart's apparats may not be half bad. The "fuckability" index is probably overkill, but being able to know when a girl is into you and if making a move isn't going to leave you high and dry would be damn nice.
Last night on Community, Shirley and Abed spent most of the episode trying to make a Christian video go viral on YouTube. Which is exactly what contemporary Christian group The David Crowder Band has done today. Their secret? Stop motion Lite-Brite.
For all three of your out there that are total Bone-heads (that’s what people who are obsessed with Fox’s forensic FBI show Bones call themselves, right?), here’s some great news: The David Boreanaz/Emily Deschanel dramedy may be getting its own series spin-off, starring the character “Walter ‘The Locator’ Sherman ‘
It’s no surprise that we love giving our Facebook fans access to lots of great goodies, whether it’s
