I'm pretending this cat's name is Rick (he may even be the cat named Rick in this poem I found online) so that I can put this gif here.  It's mesmerizing.

I just can't stop watching

Breaking News: Katie Couric no longer officially a rick?

Per the internet's overly ambitious coverage of anyone who might be considered a celebrity, I've learned that Katie Couric has married some guy named "John Molner."  I find his name be rather uninspiring at a rick level.  Not sure if she officially took his name, but if so at least we'll still have "nee Couric"...

Christina Hendricks

You may know Christina Hendricks if you watch AMC's Mad Men.  If not, you should watch it.

Let's listen to her on some shows!  Pick from Conan or Kelly Ripa.  Choose wisely.

Morning Radio

I had the most amazing commute today, Rick Show-ers!

Flipping through the stations on my radio, I heard a DJ say "and now we're going to talk to someone who changed their name from Rick.  I don't know why you'd do that.  I think Rick is one of the coolest men's names."  And then this fella is on the phone, and he says "Actually, I changed my name TO Rick.  I'm 40 and people still call me that." and proceeds to tell how when he was a kid he had a nickname that wasn't very good ("buglit" or something) and then one day at a Rick Springfield concert a girl asked him his name and Rick was the first thing that came to mind so he went with it.  He's been Rick ever since!  They asked what his birth name was and he said James Richard, so technically his Rick is legit (which the smart hosts did note).  And then one of the hosts says "Well, you made the right choice, I think."   And then I was at work.  Now I just wish I knew why they had that story in the first place.
