"Scrubs" As a Hospital Drama?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 05:01:45 PST

Ever since I found his video of "The Office" reinvented as a thriller, I've been thinking about what other TV shows are ripe for a recut. (After last year's mini-trend of recutting movie trailers, TV shows are bound to be next.)

So I brainstormed with my buddy in the Sugar Publishing video department (a few desks away), and we came up with the idea of re-envisioning the sitcom "Scrubs" as a medical drama. To see how "Scrubs" might play as a serious series,

What If "The Office" Were a Horror Film?

Last year ushered in a mini-trend of recutting movie trailers to make the films appear to be something quite different - The Shining as a feel-good family film, for example. Are TV shows next? Someone on YouTube has reinvented "The Office" as a thriller, complete with frantic running, a creepy soundtrack, and Dwight proclaiming, "You're dead."

Tell me: Which other shows do you think could use a hysterical recut? To see the crime-thriller version of "The Office,"

What to Do if You Hate Your New Haircut

We're happy to present this story from our friends at Allure:

After countless forgettable trims, I finally worked up the courage the to get an actual haircut this past weekend. I walked into my salon with long waves and walked out with choppy layers, wispy bangs, and tears welling up in my eyes. (I did manage to wait until my train ride home before letting the waterworks flow.) Rather than give in to the urge to shave my head like Britney circa 2007, I asked Ruben Colon, stylist at Sally Hershberger Downtown what to do when you hate your new cut.

Wait it out. Not sure if “hate” is too strong a word? You have more time than you think to let the salon know. Colon recommends clients wait at least a week or two to see if they like the cut-this gives you a chance to wash and style your hair on your own. “Clients usually go into shock, it takes that much time to settle down with the hair and see how it feels to live with it.”

Create Major Wow Factor in Your Outdoor Spaces With Succulent Orbs

When I was at Sunset Celebration Weekend earlier this Summer, I fell in love with DIG Garden's succulent orbs. These hanging globes of succulents provide such an unusual plant display and would make an amazing impact in a front entry, porch, or patio area of a home. You can buy a succulent orb form ($15 and up, depending on size) from DIG Gardens to make the process easy to DIY. Or, if you live within driving distance of the Santa Cruz, CA, store, you can pick up one ready made (contact DIG Gardens for more details).

For those of us interested in making our own orbs, DIG has thoughtfully provided all of the directions. Check them out below!

Completely submerge the orb form in water for approximately two minutes.
The following day, after the form has dried out slightly, is the time to start planting your succulent cuttings.
Starting from the bottom of the orb, (use a empty flower pot or bowl to set it upside down)
With a pencil or chopstick, insert half a hole into the orb, and then take a cutting and insert it into the hole.
Use florist wire, or any thin wire you may have around, and cut the wire into two-inch pieces. Bend the wire into a U shape. Secure the stem of the succulent into the orb using the wire for the bottom half of the orb. This way, when you turn your orb right side up again, all the succulent cuttings will stay in place until they root.
Completely cover the orb with cuttings, or put clusters of succulents in patterns around the orb.
Keep outdoors in a partially shady area like a covered patio or indoors in a very bright room.
After two weeks with no water, gently water with a hose once a week.
Under the right conditions your orb should last, at least, six to nine months. Then re-cut the succulent plants down, and reinsert them again as they grow out.
Enjoy your living art!
