Cuteness overload: Otter Pup 681

Anyone who doesn’t think Otter Pup 681 is completely and otterly adorable is dead. Truly. Sea otter pups are the cutest things on the planet.

I just want to hug it, over and over.

I definitely picked the wrong career. Why did no one ever tell me that raising baby sea otters was a career?

Saving you from the sad

My friend Cas shared this adorable gifset on Tumblr today. I love it so much I don’t ever want to forget about it.

“I’m coming friend I’ll save you from the sad!!”

You can see the full set on Tumblr. I hope it relieves any bad feelings you might be having now.

Icy delight

So, it’s the summer of the great ALS ice bucket challenge, where normally sensible adults channel their inner children and have water thrown at them or poured on them or similar. Lots of my favorite actors have participated, and from those videos, a few have emerged that really made my day. (And no, the short list doesn’t include any of the likeliest suspects — namely Richard Armitage, Tom Hiddleston, and the delightfully inventive Benedict Cumberbatch. Their videos were well done, but I remain unpredictable as always.)

First up, Colin O’Donoghue: http://instagram.com/p/r9P1DMHoK9/ I think the fact that he clearly enjoyed doing it made this one stand out for me.

Next, James McAvoy, because I could listen to his Scottish accent all day long:

And finally, the Old Spice Guy, for the hilarity factor.

I think we have a winner, world. Let’s quit while we’re ahead.
