Going To The Dogs

This has been making the interweb rounds for a few weeks now, but I still find it hilarious. I've tested out this theme song theory on The Boyz, but have found that their only reaction is to my obvious excitement in anticipation of watching an episode. I'm not exaggerating when I say that when I hear the theme song I get incredibly giddy. There's nothing like a great crime drama to relax me after a long day at work... not sure why that is but I'm still addicted to Law & Order even after all these years of watching it, and I truly dread the day when I will have seen every episode. Dun dun dun-dun-dun-dun-duuuun! Ahhhh that's the stuff.

Guilty Pleasures

We all have guilty pleasures, but only some of us are brazen enough to admit it. I could list off a handful of questionable confections I enjoy on occasion in the privacy of my home, but what's the fun in that? Everyone has a couple of Goobers in their closet. No, my guiltiest of pleasures is bad television. And when I say 'bad', I really mean good. Case in point the Lifetime network, which thanks to the acquisition of Project Runway, has become less of a dirty word. Many of us wouldn't be caught dead watching a made for TV movie from 1989, but then again there are some of us who relish in these comical finds. My latest Lifetime discovery is Drop Dead Diva, featuring the lovely Brooke Elliott. When people look at me with a blank expression on their face I just tell them: if Clueless and Law & Order had a baby it would be Drop Dead Diva. The premise of the show is a classic body mix up situation, that leaves 24-year-old aspiring model Deb, in the body of Jane, a successful lawyer. It's a comedic drama (yes, that's what Lifetime calls it) and it also happens to feature the fabulous Margaret Cho. I dare you to try it - who knows, it just might end up being better than those Milk Duds you've been hiding under the couch cushion.

The French Are Coming!

Yesterday a friend of mine was kind enough to take me to a taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Being a huge fan of his predecessor the great Conan O'Brien, I was a little apprehensive about the experience, but the magic of television is so enrapturing. There's something about the frantic chatter of tourists, and the feeling of being in a television studio that makes every joke ten times funnier. I was excited by the prospect of seeing if Jennifer's Body star Megan Fox is as attractive as everyone thinks she is (she is), and thrilled to see Law & Order's Anthony Anderson casually conversing with Jimmy like old friends. Being steps away from The Roots was a treat in itself, but my friend had secured band stand tickets, so we got to rock out behind musical guests Phoenix. Check me out bopping and swaying to the sweet sounds of 'Lisztomania' from their latest record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix:
