Like a modern-day Nora trapped in the Doll's House that is the Internet, here is Alison Brie dancing for you—not the tarantella, nor the Dougie, which she charmingly claims she is unfamiliar with, being the guileless, old-fashioned sort of girl you fell in love with. No, she dances the Charleston, dances as if her life were at stake, dances to amuse you, so that you will continue to love her. In between, of course, she does a photo shoot for Nylon For Guys that pretty much negates the need for her to try so hard. Still, she is your twittering skylark, your little squirrel, your doll-wife, the Internet nothing but her playroom. So watch her play the fairy and dance on a moonbeam for you, Torvald. [via Reddit]

Books: Great Job, Internet!: Move over, Alison Brie: Here’s Mark Twain with a kitten, Kurt Vonnegut with a puppy, and more
Okay, Alison Brie with a kitten was pretty adorable—enough to earn tens of thousands of clicks from people who had probably had enough of election news, superstorm Sandy havoc, Kevin Clash scandals, and other misery. But it turns out there’s something better than one actor with a kitten: 15 famous authors with their pets, plus their quotes about animals, or about their pets in general. Emily Temple at Flavorwire has assembled a roundup of these pictures, including Mark Twain with a kitten; Flannery O’Conner with a pet peacock; William S. Burroughs, Ernest Hemingway, and Tennessee Williams with their cats; Dorothy Parker, Maurice Sendak, and Edith Wharton with their dogs; and more. There is no day that can’t be made just a little better via a picture like this one of a young, happy-looking Kurt Vonnegut running along the beach with a wee excited pup. Thanks, Flavorwire. Who’s a good website? You are! You’re a good widdle website!
