30 Rock

well, i'm basically recovered. but up until yesterday, i haven't been able to drive. while my sister has been so kind as to come pick me up, i have also been spending lots of time on the good ole couch. and i have fallen in love...with 30 rock. i know, i know...5 seasons and and a butt-ton of emmy's later. but i just started at season 1 on netflix.

i have such a girl crush on tina fey and amy poehler (i also watched the first 2 seasons of parks and recreation) and a man crush on seth meyers (what, he's not on either of those shows? whoops...), which just goes to prove that you can be a staunch conservative and still have a sense of humor.

anyway, thank you, tina. thank you for making me laugh...

The Chicken or the Egg

to get through the final summer drought of new television i have been revisiting our dvds of flight of the conchords. one of the greatest shows ever written (up there with arrested development). i eagerly await a 3rd season. i have faith.

until then, let me leave you with bret, jemaine and murray visiting the long-debated quandary: which came first, the chicken or the egg?

p.s. i hate that the widescreen videos get cutoff with this blog layout. anyone have a suggestion?

Friday Night Lights

is anyone as excited about friday night lights' return to air as i am??? probably not. it is by far, one of the greatest shows on television - so inspiring. for those of you who have fallen in love with parenthood and haven't watched friday night lights yet (ahem! david) it's the same executive producer, jason katims. plus, this week they closed the episode with sufjan steven's version of "come thou fount"...yes, please.

Mad Man Yourself

Have you seen this? To promote the new season, AMC has created Mad Men characters you can customize to look like you. Amazing.

(that's me in the pink) you can too here. really need to catch up on season 2 before season 3 starts.

Mad Men

so since we don't have cable, we watch all tv shows either on hulu.com or on dvd. the latest gem we have become obsessed with is mad men (and yes, another side effect of not having cable is being about a year behind). we just finished season 1 and it was ridiculous. i think revolutionary road stole a page from amc on this one. anyway, if you are bored this summer while everything is in re-runs (on the nights "so you think you can dance" isn't on, of course) you should netflix it and get addicted too. that's all...

(you would think that since i can't blog as often these days, i would have more to write about. apparently not.)
