joolsandnigel asked: Can I just say that seeing that picture of Jay makes me smile every single time? It's brilliant. Also, I got your wonderful (and incredibly well-written!) message. I will respond promptly...by which I mean in way too long and with much apology. It seems to be our style. YEAH PROCRASTINATING PEN PALS.

Have a lovely Sunday, dear!

Thanks, football friend!  *Double thumbs up*  I’m glad you got my message, it took forever to write since I kept getting distracted.  No rush on the reply, especially since it took me long enough to write back.  Have a nice rest of the day…looking forward to your Mad Men thoughts.

Now back to my other correspondence!  Loaves and fishes :)

joolsandnigel asked: OMG I just saw your new picture. FRIIIIEEEEND!

OH, FRIEND!  FOOTBALL FRIEND!

*Gives you a double thumbs up*

thelarch asked: Thank you for making Jay your new icon thingie...

FRIENDS!

I loved Jay as soon as he said, “Fifteenth of bloody May, 1999!” in that hilariously horrible Australian accent.  He is the best.

FOOTBALL FRIEND!

djsjjwnjejdn asked: Marie! It seems like you haven't been on much, which I totally respect, how are you?!

Hayley!  You are correct, I haven’t been on much over the past few weeks; I’ve been feeling somewhat Tumblr useless, if that even makes any sense.  I have been doing well, thanks so much for asking.

I hope things are good with you…you know I’m a fan of your angst :)

lunchboxoddsox asked: Marie!, I hope you are feeling better and everything is going well for you. I was wondering if you could recommend some swedish techno/dance/pop artists for me. I would start downloading willy nilly but I always love your music picks.

Lacey!  It’s so nice to hear from you.

I am doing well and feeling better, I’ve just been a bit busy and that’s why I’m not on Tumblr as much. 

I’m freaking out a bit that you asked me about Swede artists because I LOVE the music that comes out from there.  I made a “Fuck yeah Sweden” playlist a while back and that’s not a bad place to start since I think it has a bit of everything.

I’ll leave you a link to it on your last.fm page, as well as other recommendations :)  I may ask you for some new music myself…

joolsandnigel asked: MARIE. PLEASE COME BACK. WE NEED TO DISCUSS TONIGHT'S MAD MEN EPISODE. I CAN'T. I HONESTLY CAN'T. I'M DYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I can spare a couple of minutes…hit me up.  I’ll drop you a line in your inbox too, in case you don’t see this.  I’m trying to process everything right now, but oh my god, that was an AMAZING episode.

joolsandnigel asked: DUDE, Peggy creeping over her wall to spy on Don --- I died. Fantastic.

THAT WAS THE BEST.  I was laughing so hard.  Well, maybe it’s the second best.  Loved the whole “He doesn’t own your vagina/no, but he’s renting it” exchange (may not be the exact dialogue, haha).

Girl, how have you been?  I don’t like not hearing from you.

joolsandnigel asked: YO. THE BEATLES MENTION. THAT IS ALL. (obviously not ALL all, but I have to run right now so that'll have to do for the moment. We're going to need to in-depth discuss this shiz when I return)

Fuck yes, we’re going to discuss this…did you see my list?  We may or may not have the same list and I probably missed some stuff, but those are the important things, in my opinion.  CREEPER GLEN, oh my god…I thought we’d be done with him!

fairphantom asked: I like your name actually. I think it is nice to have a more unique middle name - it give you options. I can see why you would dislike it though. I have the powerpuff girls theme stuck in my head now.
Oh and thank you for the music recommendations! Now that the computer situation has improved I can finally track stuff down, yay. I'm loving the Karen Elson.

I will trade you middle names any day…only a few people know what mine is, so guard that secret carefully :)

I’m obsessed with that Karen Elson album, I think it’s really good.  I’m glad you love it!  I’m set to download some new music in the next few days, so I’ll pass on what I think you’ll like.

joolsandnigel asked: I hope you're aware of the fantastic fact that Xabi Alonso (AKA WORLD CUP WINNING DILF MACHINE) loves to watch Dexter and Mad Men. He said he likes to take episodes of Mad Men on the plane. OF COURSE. As if he couldn't get any more perfect.

PS - sorry I haven't answered your email yet! I'm a horrible friend. I just keep forgetting to actually do it, but I haven't forgotten that I need to do it. Sorry!

I was aware of your DILF loving Dexter, but I didn’t know about Mad Men…is he perfect for you or what?  By the way, I immediately thought of you when he got kicked in the chest, just so you know…

I had to go out grocery shopping after the final and I got so many questions from random people about my España jacket; they all want to know where they can buy it.  I was like, “Sorry, I bought this years ago at an adidas store; you might want to try eBay or something…”  Oh, bandwagon fans.

doctorjack asked: And after I just sent that I realized that a goat smuggling ring could be people smuggling goats or goats smuggling whatever it is goats smuggle. So many decisions to make!

They would have to be some pretty rare goats for people to smuggle them…and I have no clue what you would smuggle in a goat, haha.

roman-numerals asked: So true! :) Jeff paired with anyone BUT Slater could make for some amusing story line or hilarious, memorable moment. But Slater is awful, and in the words of Shirley, "Professor Short Skirt? We hate her!"

Yes, I definitely am not a Slater fan. Not a Jeff/Britta fan either since I am on the Jeff/Annie train, but he can pair up with anyone else but those two!

gnate1-deactivated20110413-deac asked: that would be waaay too much work.

You are right…too much for work for a  kind of day!

avalanche-deactivated20110910-d asked: Aw man April and Andy! Why did he tell her he kissed Anne?? At least April and him kissed :)

I know, right!  But it is actually true to Andy’s personality to tell the truth about that, even though we don’t like it that he did.  Andy has gone through such a change (from being an asshole type in Season 1 to this lovable charming guy in Season 2); perhaps living in a pit humbles a person, but he’s kind of done a 180 and while inconvenient, it’s pretty honorable that he was honest with April about that.  I just hope the writers/producers don’t drag this out!

This is making me want to watch Parks again…and I know I haven’t delivered on the Parks posts I keep mentioning.

If you can, check out the extended versions and deleted scenes of some episodes on NBC.com, if it’s available for you (I hope it’s not US only).  They are great.  And now that you’re done with Parks, you should check out It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia…you won’t regret it, I promise :)  And if you do, well…you can hold it against me forever.

withalittlewit-deactivated20101 asked: Holy Jesus Christ on a cracker, I love your tumblr format.

Okay this was random person randomly commenting on something random.

Thanks.
