Since this was a short week, I've spend every day -- which is almost not an exaggeration -- thinking that it was an entirely different day. So you can imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning to find out that it was FRIDAY!!!! "GIFS! GIFS! GIFS! GIFS!" And that is meant to be read, no duh, like the Aresenio Hall Show "woof." Not to get off on a tangent, but obviously TO get off on a tiny tangent, why is it so hard to find a YouTube video of the Arsenio Hall Show "woof"? If there are two things that I think should be ABUNDANT on YouTube they are clips of the Arsenio Hall Show "woof" and clips of "Nick Burns, Your Company's Computer Guy," and as far as I can tell there are 0 of either. What's the deal with that? Life can be super weird sometimes. But you know what's not weird and is actually perfect? GIFs! So please join me in celebrating the day -- Friday -- and the new year -- 2012 -- with some perfect GIFs of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kanye West, and probably a few other things. And please think about what I said about YouTube.
