I have a new obsession, and that show is Glee. After downloading all 5 episodes in the season so far, including the director’s cut of the pilot, I pressed “play” on my computer expecting not much more than another over-hyped sitcom. Not so, my friends. I proceeded to watch all 5, right after the other, […]
Since the passing of the late King of Pop, I have watched endless tributes, medleys, and arrangements made in his honor. This has to be the best one yet. Perhaps it’s because the entire piece is done a cappella – and who doesn’t appreciate pop music turned the most simple form of melody? Or is […]

OfficeTally, a blog about NBC’s The Office (one of my favorite shows ever) just posted this image, accompanied only with the words “But what are they for? Clues coming soon…” Ack! I’ve already written about my love for boardgames and Monopoly. Parker Brothers, please tell me that you’re publishing a The Office edition of Monopoly! […]
In honor of the third season of Mad Men, AMC has launched a “create your own avatar” application. Being a huge fan of the award-winning series, I knew I had to create my own… I tried to be as honest as possible when choosing my features. Nevermind the fact that I never wear blue eye […]
Last night, as a true geek, I attended the 12:01am show for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I loved the movie – I think it was the best Harry Potter movie yet, although most of my friends disagree. There was a perfect balance of variations from the book vs keeping true to the overall […]
