I steal watches.

Steve wanted to share this with us:

The important stuff comes from Maniacs

From now on, all my learning will be done by watching Animaniacs videos on youtube (until I buy the DVDs of course, someday they will sit alongside my Wishbone DVDs that I purchased off eBay). I will start with learning the presidents, and from there will go on to the nations of the world, parts of the brain, state capitals and many other very important things to know that I knew once as a a genius child. A genius child who watched a lot of television. or maybe just a nerdy child who watched a lot of television…

it’s a big universe, and I’m nottttttttt!

Just Another Way to Waste My Time….

So I was casually reading Entertainment Weekly today (the actual magazine, not the website) and there was an article about hulu.com. It sounded so amazing that I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading……..it is a website where you can watch tv shows and movies for FREE!!!!

Now, I know there are like 10,000 other websites where you can do the same thing, but on this one, you just have to sign up with a username (nothing scary like a credit card number or anything) and then you are free to watch clips or entire episodes. There are some commercials sprinkled in here and there, but the quality is so much better than YouTube will ever be. This is actually supported by the studios and networks so it isn’t like some of those shady operations (RIP tvlinks, sniffle)

Most of the shows on there now are from Fox and NBC so that means there are full episodes of “The Simpsons,” “The Office,” “30 Rock,” and “Arrested Development.” Anyone who has not seen “Arrested Development” needs to go to that website right now and watch every single one, no excuses accepted.

I am pretty pumped about “Buffy” and “Major Dad.” Yes, that is right, “Major Dad”!!!!!!!! I used to watch that show all the time when it was on. I can’t wait to watch it again and realize, What was I thinking?

I am pretty much going to be wasting my time on this for the next few weeks, so if you don’t hear from me for a while, I am catching up on my Buffy watching.

YouTubin’ It Up

As I was perusing the Internet (very slowly on my sad old computer) I found a lovely little link to the YouTube Awards 2007. I thought I would share two of my favorite videos from the bunch…….now I haven’t watched all the nominees, just the adorable ones really, and a few of the comedy.

Here is my choice for the comedy category (obviously):

But here is the video that really stole my heart and had me laughing my bum off:

It almost makes me not dislike children…………almost.

If you get the chance, I would also recommend the Otters Holding Hands or the Talking Cats videos.

My Favorite Abdominal Workout

My best friend Chelsea first showed Wizard People, Dear Reader to me on my birthday and it seriously brought tears to my eyes.  I have been nerdily forcing people to watch it ever since. For more clips go to youtube.com or download the whole soundtrack here.
