Marriage Proposal of the Day: The planning! The dorkiness! The tears!
So imperfect it’s perfect.

Gurlfrand and I had the same look on our faces when the marching band and laptops came out. WOW.
Not even ashamed of how much I freaked over this.
Just bawled my eyes out. NBD

Obama Revelation of the Day: In Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss’ new book, Barack Obama: The Story, we get quite the insight into the president’s bullying, pot-smoking past. Money quote:
Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted “Intercepted!,” and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.

I hope this is true. :)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4l92ovflw1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Movie Trailer of the Day: Flashy first trailer for Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann’s movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, starring Tobey Maguire as narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the titular Gatsby.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings.
Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th.

OH MY GOD.
I’m almost finished watching “Freaks and Geeks” and then it’s onto another show. Why this show didn’t last beyond 18 episodes is beyond me. I like it.
I feel similarly. I started watching it after Mandi raved about it on Facebook. It’s so good!

The Leatherman (ca. 1839–1889) was a particular vagabond, famous for his handmade leather suit of clothes, who traveled a circuit between the Connecticut and the Hudson River from about 1856 to 1889. Although of unknown origin, he was thought to be Canadian, or possibly French … Living in rock shelters and “leatherman caves”, as they are now locally known, he stopped at towns along his 365 mile loop once every 34 days for food and supplies. He was dubbed the “Leatherman” as his entire adornment, from hat, scarf, clothes to shoes were handmade of leather. Fluent in French, he communicated mostly with grunts and gestures, rarely using his broken English. When asked about his background, he would abruptly end the conversation. Ten towns along the Leatherman’s route passed ordinances exempting him from the state “tramp law” passed in 1879. MORE.
