First Fugs and Pieces of the year!

– Don’t you want to read about a cute dog who lived through an avalanche? (Time)

– What’s it like to live above a restaurant? Sometimes you get free caviar. Sometimes they accidentally blow up your apartment. (NY Times)

– Have you run out of reading material already? Flavorwire has the 10 new MUST READS for January. Must! (Flavorwire)

– Speaking of reading, this is a fascinating look at the culinary impact of the 1964 World’s Fair. (Gourmet)

– Speaking of reading SOME MORE, you want to read this interview with Judy Blume, because Judy Blume is awesome. (Smithsonian)

– This time-lapse video of a round-the-world trip is amazing. (It also has sound, just so you’re prepared, but you can enjoy it without.) (YouTube)

– Also amazing in a different way is this milk jug that LEAKS MILK VIA NIPPLES. WHO WOULD PUT THAT ON HER KITCHEN TABLE, I ASK YOU? (Scroll down; past the lamp with hair on it.) (California Home and Design)

– This is a fabulous interview with Joanna Coles, about Marie Claire, and about stepping into the Tim Gunn role on Project Runway All-Stars. I have such a girl crush on her. She just seems SO SMART. (The Cut)

– And this interview with Kristen Bell rocks. She had a Hunger Games birthday party! (HuffPo)

– But the INTERVIEW TO END ALL: French and Saunders reading aloud a very VERY poorly translated interview with Madonna circa Evita. Just listen to it. Seriously. (You Tube)
