If you're looking for something to crack you up check out all the Kids Reenact videos at Babelgum. There is "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", the "Real Housewives of New Jersey", "The Hills" and "The Jersey Shore" It should probably be considered child abuse, but I still find them hilarious. The kid who plays Scott is spot on. So is the girl playing Teresa Guidice and the girl playing Audrina. Justin Bobby...he he.
Ah, Canadians. Why are you so funny? I totally forgot about the "crushing your head" guy until I ran across these videos today. When I was in college my roommate and I spent a whole day watching a Kids in the Hall marathon on Comedy Central. For some reason we thought the "crushing your head" skits were soooo funny. It's funny, but it's not that funny. It does still make me giggle.
What fall promos caught your eye this summer? There are many returning shows that I can't wait to see but there aren't many new shows that I am looking forward to. I want to get excited about JJ Abrams new show Undercovers, but I just can't. Here's a few I think have the potential to be good.
Better Together seems like the most promising of the new crop of sitcoms. It could go either way.
Lost is over and Flash Foward wasn't renewed so I'm in the market for a new insane, mind-bending thrill-ride. We'll see if The Event fills the bill. If not I'll just keep watching Rubicon on AMC.
I like the occasional nighttime soap (see Gossip Girl, 90210, Grey's Anatomy...). I think I'll give Lonestar a chance.
And last but not least, Running Wilde. Felicity Porter and Gob Bluth? Please be good.
This Glee promo combines two of my favorite things...New York and,
well, Glee. Sept. 21 can't come soon enough for this Gleek!
Man, just when I thought TLC could get any weirder. They have the show with that family that has 18 19 20 kids. They have the show with all those women that didn't know they were pregnant. They have the Gosselins and now the Gosselins 2.0. But now they've really outdone themselves at the channel formally known as The Learning Channel. Coming to a cable channel near you...Sister Wives. This program follows the lives of Cody Brown, his three wives, 13 kids, and newest fianceé as they all prepare for Cody’s fourth wedding. The tagline is "a show that rethinks love, marriage and reality family.” *sigh* Okay Mormons, get ready to dust off that speech about how we no longer practice polygamy, it was outlawed many, many years ago, these people are not of our faith, yada, yada, yada...thanks a lot TLC.
I've recently been digging the band the Shout Out Louds. Here's the video for their song "Show Me Something New". I hope you dig it, too! I've been introduced by a lot of great music lately from the blog Black Eiffel. She has Music Mondays and introduces a different band each week. She has great taste (or at least the same taste in music as me) and I have liked almost every band she's recommended. I've also been introduced to some great new bands from the blog Passionista.
Please don't anyone tell my mom (or anyone in my ward) about the Web site Date My Single Kid. It's a site where moms can find matches for their single kids, as only they know how. (Nieces, nephews, grandaughters and grandsons are also welcome). Ugh.
Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I am really enjoying Montreal singer-songwriter, Coeur de Pirate, lately. I wish my French was good enough to really understand the lyrics. I can pick up words or phrases here and there. Oh well. Either way, her voice and the music is beautiful!
What do you think about The Romantics? I'm intrigued. (I like me some Seth Cohen, er, I mean Adam Brody...). Anyone planning to see it? I can't decide if the movie looks great or if I'm just a sucker for that whole East-Coast-in-the-fall vibe (and that wood paneled Wagoneer) in the trailer...
Zee Avi is a great new artist who hails from Malaysia. She was discovered on YouTube and picked up by Jack Johnson's record label. Her album, One More Time With Colors, was released July 20. The four song EP includes the never released song “I Wish I Never” and three remixes of tracks from her critically acclaimed LP, Zee Avi. I have fallen in love with her voice. Enjoy.
Just FYI - Zee will be opening for Jack Johnson’s fall tour beginning October 1st. I think I might try and catch her in Santa Barbara or hopefully she and Jack will come to Orange County!
One of my favorite clips from "Community". It's on Thursday nights on NBC. There's still time to catch up on the first season before Season 2 starts!
I love this! Springsteen + Jimmy Fallon + Glee + Tina Fey + Sue Sylvester + Jon Hamm + Betty White + Hurley + Joel McHale + Tim Gunn = Completely awesome!
Creative people astound me. I saw these on Etsy the other day and I just have to share. Artist Karen O'Leary makes these incredible paper cut outs of city maps. There is London, Paris, Manhattan, San Francisco, etc. They are so intricate and detailed and beautiful and I want one! Here is her Etsy site. They are worth checking out!
Some video editing genius on You Tube took clips from 30 Rock (one of the funniest shows ever written) and put them together to create an angsty, dramatic, romantic video about Jack and Liz. I hardly recognized the show. I don't have any desire to see Jack and Liz together, but this is pretty good. It's just crazy what creative people can do. It also makes me realize that Tina Fey could do a dramatic role and nail it.
"The first rule of fight club is one never mentions fight club. No corsets, no hatpins, and no crying."
Why do I think this is so funny?
David Beckham and Han Solo in the same commercial? This commercial was obviously created by a woman.
This video is absolutely amazing. People's creativity astounds me.
I want the streets of New York to look like this during a storm...
My dad just texted me and told me that on April 1, 2010 Emigration Market will be closing. "Emo," as it's affectionately known in my family, is a great little neighborhood market in the Harvard-Yale area of Salt Lake City. I have been going there my whole life. I used to take my $1 allowance and buy Lemonheads and Mr. Melons and Jawbreakers and baseball cards every Saturday. It is a part of my childhood and I am sad to see it go.
If anyone wants to buy me something for my birthday or Christmas or you know, whatever, I would like this cupcake seat from jellio.com . I really want the gummi bear candy-lier, too. The stuff they have on their site is so creative. I would buy it all if I had money--and a house/apartment to put it in. Oh, well. A girl can dream...
Another thing that made me laugh this week. I don't usually love Jimmy Kimmel, but anyone who can gather John Krasinski, Sting, Taye Diggs and Matt Damon for the same project deserves some props. Also love McConaghey as the villain...
