Friday fizz: bubbles of awesome from the web

Happy Friday fizz, Cartellians! And a very romantic Valentine’s Day pash with just the slightest hint of tongue – more intimate than your grandmother but nothing gross like that boy in year 10 that you didn’t really like but let kiss you anyway, but he spent 10 minutes trying to leave tooth marks in your tonsils before you managed to break away and pretend you could hear your mother calling you home for dinner. Yeah, not like that.

Those paying close attention will have noticed the Fizz was on hiatus last week because I loaded up the whole post and then it disappeared into the bloggiverse somewhere. But this week we are back, and fizzier than ever before. Take that, bloggy demons!

  • Ever wondered where Robin Thicke got his musical talents? Check out his dad, Alan Thicke (AKA Jason Seaver from Growing Pains) singing at the National Aerobics Championships in America in the 80s. Musical gold.

  • You crack me up, where do yo find this stuff?! That cat is awesome and I’m still undecided if Alan Thicke being Robin Thickes dad is amazing or makes complete sense.
    I’ve tried wearing bobby pins the other way around and it just doesn’t feel right, flat side down it is!
