This week was a killer. Let's relax:

\-- [This birthday calendar for fictional characters is AWESOME.](https://flavorwire.com/272951/exclusive-infographics-fictional-character-birthday-calendars?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Flavorwire)

\-- This piece about real-life love lessons learned from fictional characters[ includes Pacey Witter *and* Laurie from *Little Women*](https://www.refinery29.com/love-lessons-fictional-men?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Yeah, I thought you'd like that. (Refinery29)

\-- [This is a really interesting article from Vulture about the state of the TV recap.](https://www.vulture.com/2012/04/matt-zoller-seitz-in-defense-of-tv-recaps.html?imw=Y&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I'm not just saying that because the commenters mention that Heather's *Ringer* recaps are genius (which they are), but I of course AM biased in favor of recapping because if Heather and I had never worked at Television Without Pity together back in the day NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE NOW. Recapping *The X-Files* was one of the most satisfying gigs I've ever had, still. I was so young then. So so young.... (Vulture)

\-- Speaking of Vulture and TV,[ they also predict some of the best new pilots on tap](https://www.vulture.com/2012/04/ten-most-promising-pilots-of-2012.html?mid=facebook%5Fvulture&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Vulture)

\-- I don't think I need to tell you anything more about this story in Smithsonian than the blurb they've provided: What Happened to Kalinka Bamberski?: [In an exclusive excerpt, read about the mysterious death of a young teenager that inspired a complicated web of European intrigue](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/people-places/What-Happened-to-Kalinka-Bamberski.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You had me at "European intrigue." (Smithsonian)

\-- WHAT HATH J LO HEW WROUGHT? [Men are now...deep breath...PE-JAZZLING](https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/12/fashion/men-turn-to-bikini-waxing.html?%5Fr=1&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (New York Times)

\-- [This is a fascinating piece about Kanye and Jay-Z.](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/05/american-mozart/8931/?single%5Fpage=true&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (The Atlantic)

\-- [You surely want to see shots of them filming *Les Mis*, right? I am a little excited about that movie.](https://laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/23210/Eddie-Redmayne-as-Marius-on-the-set-of-Les-Miserables-in-Greenwich?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Even though I have REAL REAL ISSUES with the Anne Hathaway casting. (Lainey Gossip)

\-- OMG. Burger King is testing a bacon sundae.[ I love bacon, but STOP THE MADNESS](https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/12/a-gluttons-delight-burger-king-testing-new-bacon-sundae/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Time)

\-- [Jennifer Lawrence is great](https://www.celebitchy.com/220549/jennifer%5Flawrence%5Fexplains%5Fher%5Fstyle%5Fi%5Fdont%5Freally%5Fcare%5Fabout%5Fclothes%5Fto%5Fbe%5Fhonest/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). From this interview: " I don’t really care about clothes, to be honest. I mean, when I’m on red carpets I’ve started to become more vocal about the things that I want to wear just because it’s better to look at photographs later and like the dress I was wearing, rather than see myself wearing something I was told to wear and which I hate," and, even better, "I loved working with both Josh and Liam, but as far as Katniss is concerned, I think that with all she has going on, the very bottom of her priorities list is the question of who her next boyfriend is going to be.” Amen, sister.
