Friday Link Dump: Pugs, Sesame Street and Vampire Academy

  3. I am taking that character test and greatly look forward to seeing who I come out as! Jimmy Fallon is, to my mind, fairly excellent. The lip sync battle is hilarious!

  4. I'm not getting sucked into Tumblr (we have an account, but I haven't been there in months. It confuses me.), but I do enjoy talking to the Penguin Australia people on Twitter about VA! They're so much fun. Even if the movie sucks, which it probably will, I'm still going to see it.

    1. "sucked into Tumblr" is exactly what happens if you risk it hehe. The PTA people are pretty awesome on social media.
      I think the movie will probably suck too but I'm still excited to see it.
