Morning Fluff: When a group of Chinese cyclists came across a stray dog sleeping in the middle of the road, they gave her a drumstick, then pushed on with their 1,000-mile ride to Tibet. But to their surprise, the homeless mutt spent the next 24 days accompanying them on their trek.

Xiao Sa, or “Little Sa,” as the cyclists named her, climbed 10 mountains over 13,000 feet high, and she ran on uphill sections where many bikers prefer to take the bus.

The journey now completed, Zhang He, the cyclist who fed her the drumstick, says she is “a buddy and a friend.” He said he “would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home.”

[hypervocal]

All my feels. (Also, if I had both a dog and a motorcycle, I’d take my dog on a trip.)

Scenic Routes discusses how a particularly obnoxious scene in Greenberg brings the film to a crashing halt.

Not only did I say “what the fuck” when watching the clip, I also agree with everything D’Angelo brings up.

I must be old-fashioned.

I’m still too embarrassed to talk about about how much I thoroughly enjoyed 21 Jump Street and also maybe sort of Channing Tatum but I love, love, love this update to teen drama clique tropes. Shut up.

It’s a fantastic movie.

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

See how they’re made here. From Visual News

I read about this. It’s so inspirational.

thedailywhat:

Wedding Song Upgrade of the Day: The Piano Guys take on “Pachebel’s Canon in D.” Here’s their explainer:

It’s the same 8 notes over and over and over again. The good news is, it’s easy to memorize. The bad news is you don’t know when to stop. There’s a rumor floating around that says Pachelbel either died while writing it, never finishing the cello part, or that he dated a cellist and it did NOT go well. This arrangement is dedicated to all the cellists that have fallen asleep while playing this song…or at least wanted to fall asleep.

Ahem…all the bitter cello-malice aside, Pachelbel’s Canon in D (written in the 1600′s) has stood the test of time — celebrated as the most recognizable piece of classical music. We like to call it the “one-hit wonder of the ~~1600s~~ 1790s.”

[thepianoguys]

I just can’t like this. First of all, the bold lines was stolen from Rob. Second, all they do is play the drum, guitar, and violin parts on the cello, which is neither a new idea nor creative. Third, it’s an amazing rendition ruined by a stupid point to prove (which is that something as old/renown as Pachelbel’s Canon can’t be spiced up). So, you guys suck.

Who cares about his people skills? This is amazing. I would literally throw my money at him. (Also, somebody find me that techno remix of Smells Like Teen Spirit pl0x.)

Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls) is known in the Marvel universe for appearing in Thor as Darcy (Jane Foster’s taser-wielding intern), but she also appeared in Charlie Bartlett as the main character’s love interest…and the daughter of the high school principal played by Robert Downey, Jr.
