This is so funny and cute I just about can’t stand it

I have just laughed and laughed at this skit. Is it weird that I have a crush on Bill Hader’s bone structure? UhhhL Originally this was a clip of the Stefon skit. Now it’s the whole episode. Huh?

Today’s pop-culture/reason-to-kill-yourself pause

You guys, Tila Tequila has a new show on C-Span*, where she talks about history, politics, and world affairs, and gets a little wonky with legislation talk! Check out these screencaps! I’ve included the closed captioning so you can get an idea of the show’s content! Screencaps won’t do? Watch the trailer! But please do yourself a favor and turn on captioning. (HT: FourFour) *No, she doesn’t. She has a gossip blog. Which still makes…

Please don’t make me beg you to watch this show

I swear to you, this show is going to disappear and everyone will wonder where it went once it’s gone. Remember Arrested Development? Well, I’m not going to say it’s that good, but I am going to say it’s damn good and would you look at that scene with the raindrops? I don’t care what you like to laugh at; that shit is straight up beautiful. Please go watch the entire first season for free.…

A post about a show

The Joanna Newsom show Sunday at the Mercy Lounge was equal parts lovely and wonderful and ridiculous and funny. The lovely and wonderful parts are, of course, the bits where Newsom and her band were involved (we more or less missed the entire opening act since the show was listed as starting at 9 but he was already playing by the time we got there at 8:30). It is a new experience for me, watching…

In which your narrator solves the case of the traveling bird feeder

Upon arriving home from work tonight, I stepped into my kitchen and, as I do most nights, flicked on the back porch light to give the back yard a good once-over for burglars and rapists (you call it paranoid, I’ll call it being extra vigilant). My eyes scanned the yard and I noticed immediately that my bird feeder was AWOL. A-motherfucking-gain! And then I looked directly below where it usually hangs, and saw THE MOST…

File under: TV shows you’ve probably already seen but that I want to gush about like I’m the first to watch them, ever

• Spaced is a whopping eleven years old but is still so wonderful because it stars Simon Pegg (if he and I bred, our children would have, basically, the piggiest noses ever) and Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson), both of whom I just want to HUG UNTIL WE PASS OUT. The show’s about two Brits who are having trouble finding a flat to rent, so they pose as a couple to get a sweet deal and,…

Family vs. jelly beans

My pal Ashley gave me a box of BeanBoozled Jelly Bellys at Christmas and I finally put them to good use. Good use, of course, being watching my family writhe in anguish as they deciphered chocolate pudding vs. canned dog food, licorice vs. skunk, barf vs. fresh peach. We had an absolute ball. I took some really long, unedited, shaky video. Enjoy, if fun is your thing. Family vs. Jelly Bean from Lindsey Turner on…
