Friday Five

1.  There may be a slight obsession thing happening with Hamilton, if it's in fact possible to be obsessed with a show you haven't seen yet and won't be seeing for another 8 months. Anyway, while I count down the days until I do get to see it, I've got to fill the time doing something.  Today it was read about the ridiculously awesome wall the cast has backstage where all the many famous people that visit get to sign.  So very cool!  

2. I wasn't really voting for the Vikings to win the playoff game last week against Seattle.  But in the last few seconds, when it came down to a field goal, I'd decided it was a foregone conclusion.  Until he missed.  The poor guy, Blair Walsh to be specific, the kicker for the Vikings missed a 27 yard field goal in Minnesota and lost the game for his team. That's got to be tough to swallow.  I really felt for the guy.  However, I didn't feel as much for him as these first graders did.  How cute are they?!  I'm not sure it's easy to come back from such a career failure like that, but I'm sure these kids helped a lot!

3. First off, I've been waiting to see Zootopia for months - basically since I saw the first trailer.  Now I'm even more excited based on the ad campaign that Disney's using.  I'm not sure I agree with using 50 Shades of Grey to sell anything (most especially Disney) but I'll try to ignore it in favor of all the others.  Because the rest are adorable!

4.  After spending a long hour just attempting to register for a non-credit course on a local community college's website, my new most favorite thing is websites that are intuitive. I love websites that have buttons that make sense and actually take you where you need to go instead of taking you down a rabbit hole with every page saying the same exact thing!  Bad websites really make you appreciate Google and Facebook a lot more, don't they?  So I'm saying that the geniuses at Google are on my most favorite things this week!

5. Love the New Yorker's tribute to Alan Rickman - it's just so perfect!
