First and foremost: TODAY IS HEATHER'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER! I got you all these things to read:

\-- This is a lovely story about[ a community of nuns that also happens to be releasing an album.](https://www.npr.org/2013/08/13/211639502/life-as-prayer-the-singing-nuns-of-ann-arbor?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I find nuns very interesting. (NPR)

\-- You probably want to see [Prince William giving a side-eye to a falcon](https://socialitelife.com/prince-william-makes-a-big-announcement-at-anglesey-show-08-2013?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Socialite Life)

\-- Or [revisit some of these Kate Middleton looks.](https://socialitelife.com/kelly-lynch-celebrates-socialite-lifes-10th-anniversary-with-our-7-favorite-kate-middleton-galleries-08-2013?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Socialite Life)

\-- The wonderful Alamo Drafthouse in Austin has a new pre-film informercial [in which Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller discuss what will happen if you text during the movie.](http://www.vulture.com/2013/08/watch-shailene-woodleys-movie-theater-psa.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)Watch the whole thing. It's worth it. (Vulture)

\-- Sandra Oh is leaving *Grey's Anatomy* and w[e're all unhappy about this turn of events](https://www.pajiba.com/think%5Fpieces/saying-goodbye-to-cristina-yang-one-of-the-best-btchfaces-on-television.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Pajiba does a great job explaining why Cristina Yang is the best. I mean, I think we can all agree that the one true couple we're all really invested in on that show -- if you, like me and Heather, are still watching it despite yourselves -- is Cristina and Meredith. They do platonic love on that show so much better than romantic. (Pajiba)

\-- You've surely read some of the commotion surrounding the launch of Bustle -- you guys, it's a website *for ladies!* Because we don't HAVE any! -- but [this was one of the smartest takes on what went wrong](https://flavorwire.com/409740/how-not-to-launch-a-site-for-women-an-open-letter-to-bustle-com-founder-bryan-goldberg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Flavorwire)

\-- Apparently, [Gwyneth Paltrow was irritating in the Hamptons over the weekend](https://www.laineygossip.com/The-authors-hate-Gwyneth-Paltrow/27737?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Color me stunned. (Lainey Gossip)

\--[ Fashion inspired by kick-ass lady heroines](https://www.whowhatwear.com/kick-ass-style-inspired-by-angelia-jolie-jennifer-lawrence-and-more?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). In case you woke up this morning wondering where you could get oxblood *Buffy* pants or giant awesome Foxy Brown earrings, which, let's be honest: you probably did. (Who What Wear)

\-- [The 90s *are* back.](https://www.elle.com/fashion/trend-reports/grunge-trend?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#slide-1) (Elle)

\-- The Huntington Library in San Marino, where I spent many an afternoon as a youth, found some cake. Some really old cake. [Some REALLY OLD CAKE](https://huntingtonlibrary.tumblr.com/post/58090104159/look-what-we-found-while-processing-a-new?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Want a piece? (And an update on [what they're doing with it, and another places that also have ancient foodstuffs](https://huntingtonlibrary.tumblr.com/post/58179316189/nunaday-huntingtonlibrary-uispeccoll?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) (The Huntington Tumblr)

\-- This dates from the beginning of summer and I was wrong not to bring it to you then: [Famous People Wearing Sunglasses](https://www.harpersbazaar.co.uk/going-out/who-what-where/The-Famous-and-Infamous-in-their-shades??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (hilariously, this slideshow refers to Phil Spector as "very cool music producer Phil Spector." Um, and batshit crazy MURDERER, you guys). (Harper's Bazaar)

\-- The folks at Previously.TV imagine [what we may read in Jason Priestley's upcoming memoirs.](https://previously.tv/beverly-hills-90210/excerpts-from-jason-priestleys-memoirs/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Previously.TV)

\-- [Here's Benedict Cumberbatch's Vogue spread,](https://www.celebitchy.com/315957/benedict%5Fcumberbatchs%5Fvogue%5Ffeature%5Fis%5Fthe%5Fsexiest%5Fhes%5Fever%5Flooked%5Fever/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) because I know what you like. (Celebitchy)

\-- This dude in Japan[ made over 20,000 prank calls to the Japanese 911 before they came over to his convenience store and arrested him](https://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/16/28000-prank-calls-finally-annoy-emergency-responders/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Time)
